Lion of Judah Ethiopian Restaurant is truly a gem in this small town. The food is absolutely…read moreincredible: rich, flavorful, comforting, and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried was delicious, and it's easily some of the best Ethiopian food I've had. That said, be prepared to take your time. The ordering and food preparation process is very slow, and during our visit the "servers" were literal children. We ended up spending close to two hours there, with most of that time waiting for the food to come out. If you're in a rush, this probably isn't the spot. But if you're willing to slow down and enjoy a relaxed, unhurried meal, the quality of the food makes the wait worthwhile. I'd absolutely come back, just with patience and no tight schedule.

Absolutely incredible from start to finish. I ordered the watermelon fries, the Little Taste with…read morebeef tibs, and selected the chef's choice for my six sides -- which included a fresh salad, chickpeas, yellow lentils, yellow rice, greens, and a veggie medley. I also added the cheesecake sambusa. Everything was outstanding. The watermelon fries were such a refreshing start. The beef tibs were deeply flavorful and tender. Each of the sides had such great flavor profiles! I first tried Ethiopian food about 12 years ago at a place in Portland, Oregon, and I've been wanting it again ever since. When I saw this restaurant open here in Valdosta, I was genuinely excited to finally have it again -- and now I wish I had gone sooner because I've clearly been missing out. Even as a pickup order, the service stood out the staff was personable and inviting. Everything was carefully packed, warm, and clearly made with care. And the cheesecake sambusa? Unreal, the perfect way to finish the meal. I can't wait to go back and make this a regular spot for my family and me.

Great food, good experience... definitely a worthwhile visit!…read more Came at around 6pm on a Thursday evening, and there were 2 other parties already seated. I grabbed a booth and was attended to very quickly! The menu is varied, but also relatively concise which I appreciated. I chose the meat sampler and added some falafel so I could try a little bit of everything. After a short wait, the food came out and it looked great! Not fancy, but certainly presentable and enticing. The chicken and kofta were really great, and the beef was good but had some inedible chewy bits included. The falafel was BOMB, and the sauces (tahini, tzatziki and house-made hot sauce) really brought it all together. The olives all had pits which I wasn't expecting! The ambiance was nice--diner vibes and a bit "lived in," but I felt comfortable and happy there. I can easily overlook the few shortcomings, because the food, value, and service were all fantastic.

If any drawback, the pacing got very slow while awaiting main courses to arrive. Granted, we had at least a dozen folks needing food all at once so that's a challenge anywhere. We didn't start until 7:30 but when it's going on 9:30 pm before food arrives, it feels long. But again, this was a good experience overall & for a locally upscale restaurant, the prices were reasonable, especially considering you got two sides PLUS a salad with your entree (& significantly below the "upscale dinner" we'd had in downtown Savannah the night before). I got a spinach salad with my fried shrimp, squash casserole & Gouda grits. I splurged to add a scallop for $4.50. It was fine but probably wouldn't do next time. A passable cocktail to start & good iced tea with dinner. There were appetizers for the table that were fine but not remembering specifics. Try it.

Thank you Fancy Girl Farms! My sister was bragging about this place a month ago when we were…read moreplotting this little family roadtrip to visit my niece in Valdosta. Alanta (my niece) goes to school there and we were so excited to shop, sip, explore and eat at Fancy Girl Farms! John and I actually went 2 days in a row- Saturday our plans had shifted to later in the morning- so I jumped up and said lets go check out the farm instead of sitting around waiting for the college girl. Coffee, farm stand, nursery & garden tour was what awaited us Saturday. I grabbed a coffee from their sweet little cafe- it was scrumptious. The stroll through the gardens was blissful- it had rained and was going to rain more, so next to no one was out in the gardens- peace and quiet, yes please! The farm stand/ nursery was loaded with goods and I was compiling a shopping list! We returned Sunday for lunch and there was a crazy line quick when they opened- great for business! All the big families were there early to make sure they got seats. We had a party of 6 and were one of the first tables sat. Our server was fabulous, she had our drinks out fast & bread for the table. We all ordered the fried chicken and all were smart enough to split plates (since we were all driving hours home that same day). Sides around the table- mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, creamed corn with bacon, collard greens, black eyed peas, mac-n-cheese, fries & I'm probably missing something. We all passed food around to try too- so those sides, I tried most of them! Chicken- we got the mixed chicken white and dark meat and it was juicy, salty, crunchy skinned goodness. Top 3 for sure (truly I think I've only had one better). Mashed potatoes- too dense, very flavorful- but needs milk, sour cream, something to help loosen it Sweet potato casserole- guess what, also too dense and also wildly flavorful! The textures did not match the flavor punch Black eyed peas- delicious, really the best I've had Collard Greens- the table was bragging about how good it was Mac-n-cheese- very creamy, just the way I like it Fries- cooked perfectly Creamed Corn with bacon- very good and I loved that you can tell it's freshly made, the color! Creamy white, not artificial yellow I completely forgot about dessert- even after hearing my sister go on and on about weekly cobblers! That and the 15 layer chocolate cake- fifteen! Alright, I'll just need to go back for dessert!

It's very family friendly, but a little pricey for the quality. The calamari was dry and overcooked, and the sweet potato fries were just OK. The ribeye cheesesteak however, was surprisingly good. We asked for the calamari to come out with the sandwich, but it arrived much earlier. By the time the sandwich was served the calamari was long gone even though we had explained it intended to be the meal for hubby since he wasn't very hungry. Overall, there were some positives but the food was definitely inconsistent. While it is clearly a popular spot, our experience doesn't make us eager to return. If we're ever passing through again, we're not sure we would give it another try, though it's possible other menu items are much better.
