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!

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.

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 was in the mood for something not so heavy and I was flat to see a variety of meals on the menu. Home made chicken tenders with a buffalo sauce that wasn't just Texas Pete or Franks red hot- the buffalo sauce also tasted home made.

I've never had little potato disks like that before, and I could have eaten an entire basket of those little cuties.

I also had rye toast, grits, and a side of liver mush, which was cooked perfectly with just the right thickness and texture. Every server, along with the owner, were exceptionally friendly and attentive. I will definitely be planning my next visit around their hours so I can stop in again.
