I love there breakfast. They have the best southwestern omelet. Everyone's very friendly service is great highly recommend
Great all-around eating experience with a deeply home cooked flair!!
We love good french fries. Asked for extra crispy and had the best french fries in Georgia. Hamburgers were super with hoop cheese. Friendliest people!!
The food was good. The cleanliness not so much they told us to pick a table the first one we picked apparently was broken so we had to move, the one we picked was dirty, I proceeded with a napkin to wipe down, the waitress said while I was doing that "sorry the the guy who busted tables didn't wipe" but she should have went and got something to clean with other than placing blame and she didn't properly clean she just let me wipe down with a dry napkin that's not properly clean if they cut these kind of corners on a table God knows what else there not doing or cleaning properly. Also with all the viruses in the world now and elderly and children come here to eat they should care about sanitation people could get sick. Just care more please
Great food at very good prices. We went for the AYCE Seafood buffet on friday night and according to my family it was very good. They had salad, fried clams, shrimp, fried shrimp, oysters, scallops and whole fried catfish, fries and onion rings. They also had homenade banana pudding (omg delicious) and homemade peach cobbler. The buffet was only $17.99 and with what you get it looked well worth it. I love catfish but I dont eat whole catfish so I opted for a hamburger steak with a baked potato and a salad my husband had the same thing and to be honest we both could have shared a plate there was so much food. It was very good and we devoured the baked potatos because they were hot and fluffy and had a great taste to them. The staff was very friendly. I only have one small issue and that is the bathroom, where it is small it is not handicap friendly. I have a handicap mother and she had a hard time getting up from the toilet because there was not a handicap handle to help her up. I would suggest placing a wall mount handicap bar on the wall in front of the toilet. I cant take stars away for that because it is an easy fix so I will stick with my 5 stars and a we will definitely be back to Southern Lady because the food was that good.
We've had breakfast lunch and dinner here. The food is delicious and not too expensive. The atmosphere reminds me of Mayberry from the Andy Griffith Show! Everyone knows everyone. They treat you like family while you're there. They have breakfast buffet on Saturdays until 12, seafood buffet on Fridays for dinner and buffet at lunch (at least today they did). It was a great experience and the food is good.
