Camellia Cafe -- 10/10 There are good things in life, and…read morethen there are great things. This is neither. This is an excellent thing, and excellent things are rare. From the moment you walk in, you feel at home. The decor isn't just "there"; it's curated. With every turn of the head, you find yourself captivated by something more interesting than the last. It creates a cozy, intentional environment that sets the stage for the service. The Service: Shannon is a absolute delight and as genuine as they come. She has that "Momma's about to feed you, sit down and tell me what you need" energy, and it works perfectly. Watching her work is a sight to behold she handles three or four things at once with a grace most of us lack while just walking and breathing. You may enter empty, but you certainly won't leave that way. The Food: Have you ever liked one thing so much you haven't even made it to the rest of the menu? That's me. Their bacon, egg, and cheese would give any breakfast spot in Georgia a run for its money. I swear every time I walk in that I'll try something new, but the "usual" is just too good to resist. It's a difficult choice I look forward to making every time. Why they get a 10/10: My ratings of just about everything in life are based on three pillars that Camellia Cafe nails: 1. Kindness: They treat everyone with respect the moment they walk through the door, regardless of how they look or what's in their wallet. 2. Values: It's clear that while money is a reality of business, it isn't the only thing driving them. There is heart here. 3. Consistency of Character: You can tell the kindness isn't a "performance" for customers it's a reflection of how they treat their staff, their family, and themselves. Great Character combined with respect is what works here. I'll be back because of that and i guarantee that anyone else who takes the time to go in and dine. Yeh, they will definitely be back too.

Enjoyed a fine meal with friends for brunch. We will be back!! Good food and friendly staffread more

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.

Some of the prices have changed due to product cost going up. They are open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Friday is one of their busiest nights. You can now pay at the table if you are using a card. (There is a discount if you pay cash) We love this place for a nice meal on date night. The owners co.e around and talk to customers and get feedback. My favorite meal is the rib eye steak with green beans and smoked mac n cheese. If you are around Mistletoe State park and they are open, check them out.
