    I decided to have a morning in Thomson, Ga. What a find!! Emma's Breakfast Cafe was great! I love the decor and atmosphere. The customer service was A+. Get up one morning and take a drive to enjoy this gem.

    Food was good, service was not. Really wish they would've paid more attention to the customers. Very cute atmosphere though.

The food is good, the ambiance and…read moredecor reminds of places i used to eat at as a kid, and the service is just straight up Southern hospitality. My folks and i stopped by for lunch recently when i was home for a visit. They don't eat out much but recommended Steeley's; I'm glad they did! Their menu is short and simple. A variety of diner sandwiches and simple sides like fries or onion rings. There was more, but i ordered a dipped chicken sandwich and thought fries would be the best option. It was a solid choice as the sandwich was very good. Their hours indicate they're open for breakfast so next time i'm over this way, I'm going to have to check that out. I highly recommend this not so out of the way gem near downtown Dearing Ga

When I saw "...and Tackle" as part of the name I knew this was going to be some good food. Plastic trays for food, plastic ware for utensils, and styrofoam cups for your drink. And let me take a moment to get proper honor due that sweet tea. It has been a hot Georgia minute since I've had sweet tea. 1) I strive to consume mostly water and 2) I don't want the disappointment of mildly sweet/bitter tea. But I had a feeling about this place. I have no shame in admitting that I drank three glasses during the meal and got a refill for the ride home. Now the inside seating is nice and cool, but much like the team working here the layout has a family feel. You might be at separate tables, but your conversations will be overlapping. The outside seating follows the wrap around porch, with the very back giving you a view of the pond. We opted for outside and I am so glad we did. Aside from the occasional vehicle passing by, one only heard birds chirping and frogs croaking. Pure bliss. The burger is a thing of beauty. The mac n cheese, just order it. I don't care if you got a salad. Order this and thank me later. And to top it off, the banana pudding. I will try the pie and/or cake another day, but I had to do the pudding. And there was no sharing at my table. I had it consumed before they returned with my card and receipt. I don't know how long this place has been around, but I sure hope it stays so I can continue to visit (and indulge). If you are anywhere near this place, go!

    Best kept secret down this stretch of the South might just be Peggy's fried chicken…read more Now, a great many places have the confidence to fry a bird. That is not the same as knowing what they're doing. Plenty can make chicken hot. Fewer can make it memorable. Peggy's managed the rarer thing. This was the kind of fried chicken that makes a man quiet for a minute and reconsider whether he has properly valued his past blessings. They had other meats on the menu, and I do not doubt they were prepared by decent people with honest intentions, but ordering anything besides the fried chicken would have felt like showing up at a revival and asking for directions to a yoga class. And the sides, Lord help me, the sides were no afterthought. If I had not attended the funerals myself, I might have suspected my great grandma, grandma, and momma were back there in the kitchen, keeping an eye on the pots. Forgive me, Mammaw G, Mammaw, and Mom, but Peggy's had the better day with that chicken. I say that with love, respect, and a willingness to dodge a lightning bolt if one has been set aside for me. Fried okra, green beans, sweet potatoes, and mac and cheese, which any Southerner with good sense knows is a vegetable when it needs to be, spread across our plates like a family reunion of the righteous. The only medical advisory I'd offer is this: if your doctor has warned you against coating your insides with salt, you may want to admire from a respectful distance. And the sweet tea was right. Not tea-flavored water with ambition. Sweet tea. Properly made. The sort that lets you know nobody in the building is interested in modern nonsense. Next time I'm rolling down I-20, I may well make the turn toward Wrens again just to see whether Peggy's can do it twice. But judging by the regulars, the handshakes, the easy way the staff knew folks by name, and the fact they made us feel halfway local ourselves, I'd say this was no one-off. This felt less like a lucky meal and more like the kind of place that still believes doing something well is reason enough to keep doing it.

    Brunch is serious business in Augusta and after one visit to The Brunch House of Augusta I…read morecompletely understand why this place stays packed. While in town for the weekend my husband and I wanted brunch somewhere unique to Augusta instead of another chain restaurant, and after scrolling Yelp and seeing all the glowing reviews we decided to give this Black owned, family operated spot a try. I noticed online that you can make a reservation for a $20 fee that gets deducted from your check. At first I was a little surprised, but after seeing how busy this place is, it makes total sense. We decided to roll the dice without a reservation anyway. When we arrived on a Saturday morning there were already several people waiting outside. There isn't really an indoor waiting area, so the hospitable hostess took my name and phone number and kindly asked us to wait outside. Later I noticed the sign explaining the process. She quoted us a 40-minute wait, but thankfully we were seated in about half that time. Inside, the restaurant is quaint and cozy with a classic diner feel complete with counter seating and booths. The ambiance is casual and welcoming. If you have a larger party, there are a couple of outdoor tables that appear to accommodate around six people, but personally I think this spot is best enjoyed with a smaller group. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and kept everything moving smoothly despite the busy brunch crowd. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles while I went with the Garden City breakfast bowl loaded with veggies and home fries plus a salmon croquette on the side. Every single thing tasted homemade and full of flavor. This is what Southern comfort food is supposed to taste like. My husband said the chicken was seasoned well and fried perfectly, and the waffle paired with it beautifully. My breakfast bowl reminded me of the kind of breakfast my grandma used to make, comforting, flavorful, and cooked with care. Portion sizes were just right,  enough to leave satisfied without feeling miserable afterward. Prices were also very reasonable for the quality of food and service we received. Stellar customer service, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere. If I ever find myself back in Augusta, this will absolutely be one of my repeat stops.

At that hour the dining room was quiet enough that we were only the second customers seated, the kind of slow start that feels almost private, but by the time we walked out at 8am every booth and counter stool had filled and the whole place had shifted into that classic Waffle House hum. And honestly, you yankees have no idea what you're missing without a Waffle House for breakfast, it's a Southern thing and it just hits different when the day is barely awake. A window decal caught my eye because it promised something new. When I'm doing keto, I usually default to the Fiesta Omelet, but now they've added a Fiesta Chicken Protein Bowl and it turned out to be exactly what I wanted. Scrambled eggs layered with onions and peppers and jalapenos, melted cheese, and plenty of chicken tucked in there, all without the usual hash browns. Simple, hot, and perfect. Mrs. K. went the traditional route with a waffle and said it was cooked just right and genuinely delicious, crisp on the outside and soft in the middle the way a Waffle House waffle should be. Breakfast came to $28 including a generous tip for Tammie, who was attentive and funny and kept our coffee cups topped off without ever hovering. It was the kind of easy, unhurried start that makes a Sunday morning feel promising as we set out to explore northeast Georgia. [Review 177 of 2026 - 899 in Georgia - 25366 overall]

There's nothing that really stands out or stands behind It's fairly clean. The staff does their job. Pretty much everything like most other waffle houses your standard menu everything else. When I came in it was fairly clean. Tables were wiped down. Couple of the staff was acting a little aloof but one doesn't that ever happen anymore My waitress was very good Deja she made sure to check on everything. I ordered just a simple waffle Double order hash brown scattered light And sausage patties My throat been bothering me the past couple of days so I had tea with some honey and lemon. I would come back again though it wasn't one of the standout waffle houses but it wasn't one of the crappy ones either

The coffee beans are roasted on site and the special blends are concocted and bagged for those that want to use them or give as gifts. The desserts are homemade.

There are usually 8-10 cakes, muffins and such to choose. The customer service is what will keep me returning. I am just amazed at how everyone was treated. Please go by there.

Possibly ordering something different than the Grasshopper (which is one of their signature drinks, let that be known) next time might work but I'm not planning on coming back to this coffee shop. This place was recommended to me as well but there are plenty of other coffee shops that I will be visiting in Augusta.
