Great southern food. Definitely a must try. I followed other reviewers and ordered the 1 meat with two vegetables. I ordered the country fried steak with white gravy, and two greens. My husband ordered the grilled chicken and potatoes. The creamed potatoes was a bit too salty. But everything was otherwise excellent. Many regulars. And the service reminded me of fine dining, the young man routinely checked on us. read more

My husband and I stopped here to eat one whim based on the sign we saw on I-20 east. It was worth it! We got the meat and 2 with chicken fried steak, creamed potatoes. I had the green beans and he had the lime beans. Everything was so good! Best green beans I've had in a while, puts Cracker Barrel's to shame. The limas and potatoes were tasty and the steak was too. We enjoyed the vintage interior and it was so clean! The service was also good. I wish we would have stopped on our way home. read more

We were leisurely driving from Talladega on a Sunday evening when we yelped "dessert" near us. This place came up and in the pictures of the menu it said, - PIES. Well we're always ready to get pie and this pie didn't disappoint. We got one of each, no apple, and a large banana pudding. All the pies taste homemade, so does the banana pudding, but everyone has their own taste for whatever banana pudding style they like and this wasn't it for me. I would say this was a cooked banana pudding. The creamed potatoes are southern, the green beans are seasoned well and cooked with bacon. The mac and cheese has a good texture and a yummy cheese sauce. The sweet potato casserole is aite. Corn bread is homemade and crumbles, would do well with butter. The pecan pie taste like candy and is so sweet and delicious. The lemon meringue is the real winner here! Definitely worth trying again, it started to fill up when we were leaving! I wish we had a meat and three like this near me! read more

Food and service excellent, friendly atmosphere, clean restrooms, kept playing too, would wreck anybody to stop by and enjoy your meal

This place was not very good. It was like a run down Waffle House. The place was dirty tables had net been wiped. Food was ok. I could have made better at home. read more

Hubby and I were headed to Orlando from Nashville, Tennessee and happened across this sweet little diner. The food was delicious and the only thing sweeter than their dessert was the hospitality and the deep southern accent. The price for the Meat and 3 was very inexpensive, so we made sure to tip the waitress above and beyond for the good service, too. We marked this spot in Apple Maps, so we would remember it if we ever come this way again! read more

Fried bologna sandwich is worth writing home about. It's simple but just like grandma use to make.

This is in such an odd place, but it's so good..If you happen to see it, definitely stop in. The meal was great and the price was really fair. read more

Excellent service! The food is phenomenal! Eggs fresh and cooked perfectly. Pancakes moist and delicious. The Philly Breakfast Wrap is very yummy. The hash browns are okay... but if you put 2 over easy eggs on them, they are to die for. Biscuits are just like mom use to make. True country sausage gravy Neat little diner with a homestyle feel. read more

If your hungry and can't go any further then yes. The staff are friendly. The prices are cheap but the food is mediocre. The mashed potatoes are from a box. The veggies have no seasoning. I will say the club sandwich was very good. I wouldn't go out of my way to try it but it was good. I also had the peach cobbler which was not good at all. It had no crust in it and it had a funny after taste. I would suggest if you have to stop get the club sandwich but if you can wait, drive on... read more

The price was very reasonable . Low, Low prices ! This place is a found Gem! Always looking for a good Diner and now I have found one. We will be going back for lunches and dinners as well. Love this place and would recommend to all! read more

I've been going here for lunch with some of my buddies for the last few months. We usually meet up for lunch, which is perfect bcz they have 2 lunch specials to choose from. I'm all about a meat n veggies, everything taste fresh and seasoned properly. The staff are quite friendly and fast, I have the "specials" and ordered off the menu, so far everything has been really good. I'll be back and I have recommended to my friends traveling I20 across the state line. read more

We were traveling and needed a place to eat in a pinch and in our search we found this place. I was super pleased with my grilled chicken dinner and thought it was prepared with care. The service was fast and and honestly I don't believe there is a better place anywhere near the establishment. I was super impressed with the quality of food as the quality of diners I have been to in the past has historically been pretty low. read more

Owner is a wonderful lady , but her counter help is terrible. The food has become pricy and portions small. When first opening most food was home made but not canned or boxed. The waitresses are flirts with all the local boys and truckers and work for that tip! While the rest of us wait for a refill or a clean table. If you love/like your car this isn't the place to eat. the parking lot is terrible!!!!! With huge pot holes that have been getting worse for almost 2 years. read more

Great service. Good home style food. Would recommend the Philly Cheese Steak Omelette cooked fluffy.

Friendly staff and quick. Well, I did sit at the counter. Ordered the Thurs special. Apparently there are two types of meat for the hamburger. Real is what I ordered. While waiting, they where making their version of Philly cheese steak. They make it on Texas toast. Interesting. So, my hamburger was average. Not bad. Better than most. Onion rings were avg. No Coke, Pepsi. All in all, good place for a good, quick bite to eat. I would eat here again. read more

On our way to the airport, hungry, running late, and showing up 20 minutes before closing time. We were welcomed like we were walking into a friend of ours house. With cordiality and politeness we have been served of a very good burger promptly made in few minutes. We'll certainly stop by again on our way to ATL read more

Found this little place while driving cross country and boy were we happy! Very good service and the food was typical diner fare served hot. I had a BLT, full of bacon and my husband ordered their special (a hamburger steak with mashed potatoes) and really enjoyed it. If we are ever near here while on the road we would come back! A good sign is the locals love it, the place felt like Cheers with lots of visiting going on. read more

Nice little diner with great staff. Food arrived at our table quickly and was delicious. The waitress was extremely friendly and stayed on top of everything. read more

Did I die and go to biscuit heaven, or am I just in Tallapoosa at the Georgia Express? It may look like a Waffle House at first glance (and there's nothing wrong with that), but no WaHo I've ever visited could hold a candle. This flat top is clearly operated with love, and the biscuits deserve an award if they haven't already won them all. 10/10 hope I'm back this way again. read more

I love this place. Really good food. Very inexpensive. The service is outstanding. They have been fighting to stay open because of the pandemic but they have reopened now and I'm grateful. I will stop here every time I'm in the area read more

Great food, great service! This little gem, right off the highway, is worth the stop! read more

Georgia Express Diner - The western omelette with heavenly hash browns and a biscuit! So delicious!!!! - Diners Near Me - Tallapoosa, Georgia

My husband and I travel quite a bit and this was one of the best diner experiences we've had. Meat and three which included a drink and a big, juicy burger and fries all for under $15.00. Great, friendly waitstaff and very quick service during a jam packed lunch time crowd. If you are looking for a home cooked tasting meal don't pass this gem by. Easy off and on to the freeway (an added bonus!). read more

Pretty decent food but wish they would tell you ahead of time if they are out of something instead of you looking at the menu for 15 min and them not having what you finally decided on read more

Great diner where all the locals go. Excellent breakfasts and good hometown atmosphere. Free wi-fi. read more

Hamburger is great and the Specials are homemade. Their menu has a little everything and breakfast all day.

Homemade! Breakfast all day! A true diner experience with great food and exemplary service! They have a way of making everyone feel like a local. We loved it so much we stopped on the way to visit family between Atlanta and Alabama and on the way back! :) read more

A great little gem for southern home cooking across the street from the Pilot Travel Center in Tallapoosa, GA. Daily lunch specials that come with two sides, a drink and dessert for a little over $7. I just had fried battered chicken livers with mashed potatoes and baked beans. Everything was delicious and the service is super friendly. read more

Long wait to order. Long wait for the food. Chili cheese fries were a whole lot of chili and about 5 fries. Biscuits tasted like they were microwaved. Really-the only positive thing I have to say is our server was very nice and the restrooms clean. read more

This is a very comfortable place to dine. The serving staff is very pleasant, and makes sure that everything is just right. The prices are very reasonable, and you can easily get a very large breakfast for under 10 bucks. Despite the low cost, you get tasty food that's cooked to the right settings, and it's always consistent. read more

The servers were very friendly and did an excellent job. However the food was way short of expectations created by the previous reviewers. The fact that there were so few cars in the parking lot at supper time should have tipped off. The country fried steak was a frozen piece of gray brown matter that must have come from the bin of Walmart. The vegetables were tired. Perhaps the food at breakfast is better. read more

Great small town diner! The food was delicious & the service was quick & attentive. Do yourself a favor & have a meal here.

Excellent food and friendly fast service. Prices are great breakfast served all day. This site said breakfast and brunch but they are open until 10 pm read more

Good food, friendly service, & clean bathrooms. Little country place, but highly recommend!

This place is a great greasy spoon. All staff friendly. Prices great. Food is just as ordered and better.

Fantastic Dinner - Really Good Food, Very Friendly and Clean We were traveling back to Boston from Austin and stopped at Georgia Express Diner for breakfast. My wife and I were very pleased with our breakfast and the grilled chicken sandwiches on biscuits they made for our road lunch. Here are a couple of observations and comments: 1) Breakfast grill items are cooked behind the counter and insight of the patrons. The grill cook has amazing timing for ensuring all items in the order are started at different time so they all ready at the same time. 2) When traveling through the South, I always try either the Biscuits or Cornbread with my meal. The Biscuits at Georgia Express Diner were by far the best I have ever eaten. 3) Many locals frequent this diner and were warming greeted by the staff and other patrons. 4) At one point, the door to the kitchen was open for a period of time and you could see the cook preparing food from scratch for later in the day. 5) When the grill cook had an order for a hamburger, he used ground meat and formed the meat into a ball, that then he flatten ball of meat onto the grill. Frozen patties were not used. On my next trip through this area, we will plan a return visit. Only thing I change would like to see at the Georgia Express Diner would be to have real butter and local jelly/jam for the biscuits. I could easily have a breakfast of fresh biscuits, bacon, and potatoes, with coffee please. read more

Comfort food that is well prepared with friendly staff. My father and I walked out very pleased and ready to hit the road again. I had the country fried steak with okra and hash browns. All I can say is home style deliciousness. My father got the GA burger and it was the griddle cooked burger. He also ordered fries extra crispy, and they got it done. read more
