My wife and I just bought a home in West Marion and were looking around for a good breakfast spot…read more Well, we found a GREAT breakfast place! Bessie's Diner. On our first visit I had eggs over easy, liver mush,rye toast,hash browns and ice tea. My wife had eggs over easy, biscuit, gyro meat, hash browns and ice tea. Everything was perfect. Our waitress Kayla explained to me that the liver mush was locally made and it was delicious! My wife said the gyro meat was authentic and I tried some and it was great. This is also the first time in a loooong Time that my hash browns were cooked correctly. Brown and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Kayla (our waitress ) was super nice and we found out that she lives near us! The cook was a pro and even said good bye when we left. I highly recommend Bessie's and look forward to our next meal there!

We made Valentine's Day reservations four months in advance, noting that one of us was vegetarian…read more Less than 24 hours before our scheduled reservation, we received a text from the restaurant that they would not accommodate vegetarians. This left us scrambling to make alternative dinner plans on one of the busiest nights of the year, which was not how we intended to spend the holiday. Blanton House's lack of flexibility, empathy, and remorse was shocking, and we will not attempt to go back.

I have never written a bad review before but I feel so strongly about our experience I just had the…read moreshare. We had lunch/brunch today with several friends. It had to be one of the Worst meals I've had in a long time. Out of the 10 meals, only 3 people enjoyed theirs. One of the couples in our group had eaten here several times and they said they have never had a bad experience until today. The biggest complaint was with the roasted vegetables. They were not just roasted they were incinerated and apparently the chef tried to mask that with salt! Doesn't sound like a big deal but 3 of us had a meal that was centered around the vegetables. Holy smokes every meal except the shrimp and grits was brining with salt. Another concern was that we arrived with reservations at 12:00. It was 2:30 when we left. The restaurant was not busy. I have No intention of returning.

It's typical diner food, nothing fancy. They have super friendly staff! This place is sweetly…read moredecorated with country decor. Biscuits are great except they offer no honey which I thought was a staple in country dining. Their tables are set with just a fork in a sanitary bag so you have to ask for a knife and a spoon for coffee. Also butter does not come with your biscuit/toast either. You have to ask for it. Speaking of toast, it's not even toasted. I think it's thrown on the cooktop and barely warmed. It's the little things that should be expected of a restaurant that I have complaints about.

I've never had little potato disks like that before, and I could have eaten an entire basket of those little cuties. The coffee was not great if I can be honest about that, and I did see an employee bring in supplies that included a basic Maxwell House canister. That's just not my thing, no big deal. The servers all the servers, were incredibly friendly and polite. Great business serving up great pre-hike fuel

The people were kind and while you wait for your order to be made you can browse the shop attached to the cafe. From handmade blankets to walking sticks to lotions to classic Coca Cola bottles, you never know what you'll run into. All in all, highly recommend checking them out and I'm eager to make a trip back to see them again.
