Best Southern Fare for the Price

by Jay Dawg at Citysearch

Quaint, Restaurant is full of nostalgic signs and memorabilia from both national and local businesses. Brings back memories of true southern dives that are filled with locals, excellent value, and good old fashioned southern fare - Much better than any chain such as cracker barrel or folks. Biscuits and Cornbread are best the earlier you get there, breakfast is surprisingly served all day, and you cant beat their fried chicken and vegetables!! They even serve old classics like Calves & Chicken Livers...mmmm!!

• Pros: Fresh Ingredients, Breads baked onsite, excellent vegetables
• Cons: Bad Location; No dinner hours, Old location

Lost in the Shuffle...

by JamieSlos at Citysearch

One of those independents that get lost in the shuffle vs the exposure of big chains....Had the fried chicken and was honestly the best that i've ever had. Veggies were excellent as well as husband's chicken and dumplings. Located in a area of Roswell that is going down hill (near the beautiful historic square - which is definitely worth a visit), but was told that the area used to be the center of Roswell activity. Quaint atmosphere if you get past the bad shopping center exterior. We definitely need more of these types of family restaurants! I dont know what the other review was about...maybe they were yankees w/o any real knowledge of good home cookin' - guess they're used to processed food, lol!!

• Pros: Extensive menu that includes breakfast, lunch, burgers, salads, and vegetables. Kid friendly. Big restaurant, probably seats over 150 people.
• Cons: Bad location, seemed understaffed although servers were extremely friendly, closed at night time.

Its not quaint or fancy, but this place is the best southern breakfast in the area! A true part of Roswell history.
