    The ladies are always so nice. Food is good, solid American. Country-fried steak or chicken with real mashed potatoes and gravy. Not fancy or pretentious. Good value.

    Livers on Wednesday. Rockin! Perfectly fried and we received excellent service. Reasonable lunch prices.

    I am sure there is a market for cafeteria style food. This is it, we have not been to the new location (many years since the move). We were going to try uptown wings next door until we walked in and saw the everything menu of wings, Chinese food, burgers and more. Not sure what that was but, we left in favor of eating at Home spun. The restaurant layout design is as if they just piled different stlye tables against the walls for bussing, storage, etc. The menu on chaulk boards on the wall. The food immediately looked very heavy for lunch, and it was. I had the turkey and dressing and it came two sides, I selected of coleslaw and fried okra. It also came with rolls or cornbread, I chose cornbread. She had the vegatable soup with an add on grillled cheese sandwich. Now, looking around the customers appeard to be shall we say, mature ( I am 61 and felt young). I tell you this because the food had little flavor and little to NO seasoning whatsoever. The okra was fried but, also greasy. Very bland and heavy. Our waitress was friendly but, cleary did not speak english and only knew the bare minimum to get by. As another person was trying to explain to her and exclaimed "interpreter please". The food came fairly quick so likley made in bulk and served as ordered. As I eluded to earlier, the place was better than 70 % occupied so there is a market for it. Just not for us.

    I don't know why but my taste buds have been in a bad mood lately! Nothing seems to taste as good as it should, or even as good as I remember it last tasting! That being said, Home Spun has never really been that great to me anyway. I first visited this restaurant way back in 2005 when they were in a different location just down the road. A friend of a friend whom ate here all the time brought me for my first visit. I thought the food was okay back then, but I was not in any way motivated to return. Fast forward 13 years and I've passed the new location multiple times. They seem to have a healthy amount of business and I thought to myself: "why not give them another try?" So I did, and guess what? I still thought it was just okay! But in the interest of being a thorough yelper, I came back yet again for a third visit just a few weeks later and guess what? It was still just okay. Back in 2005 I had meatloaf that I would have classified as unremarkable. Can't remember the sides, but they too were nothing I committed to long term memory. On my second recent visit I tried the baked chicken, which I would rate 3.5 stars and the candied yams a 4! However, the creamed corn was highly disappointing, conversely earning it 2 stars. It was so creamy it looked like the porridge I imagine when I think of the story of Goldie Locks and the Three Bears. It was like soupy grits with corn bits mixed in. Still, the baked chicken and candies yams gave me a little confidence to return, hoping for a meal worthy of yelping about! On my last return visit I tried the catfish. I LOVE catfish, but don't particularly like catfish served whole. I would much rather have it as a fillet... but even that doesn't matter to me if it is properly seasoned and nicely cooked. This was not! Topping off the experience were "meh" mashed potatoes and "I could have done without them" sweet potato soufflé. SERVICE Not bad, but not great. I think this is the type of place that puts greater energy into serving their regulars. Everyone else is just extra roughage. NOTE: I was tickled by the hand written menu board with a few misspellings during one visit that no one seemed to notice. FINAL THOUGHTS It's a solid place to get a decent meal if you are looking for substance or if you're the type that "eats to live". Nothing is particularly awful, and nothing is particularly outstanding (at least not that I have sampled). But if you are the "live to eat" type like me, the food here is not going to make you crave multiple visits or give you that "OMG... this is so good" foodgasm experience. 3 stars overall because the pricing is so reasonable you can't really even get mad if you don't like something! 2018/71

    Not to be rude, but the owners are Korean and have a funny notion of what "southern home cooked" meals mean. If you lived your culinary life in a school cafeteria then I might give you a pass on that. Southern cooking, while not generally complex, is flavorful and accompanied by good hospitality - two things Home Spun lacked in spades. Slow, inattentive service. Low grade ingredients with a canned food texture and flavor. I really really wanted to support a local restaurant, but this place is far below the threshold for "good".

This is a very cool spot with creative, upscale flavors and excellent presentation. We ordered the bacon biscuit with grits and the avocado toast, and everything was absolutely delicious. The grits were the standout item for me. We learned they are made with locally sourced grits from a North Georgia mill, and the cheese combination created an incredibly creamy texture and rich flavor. The coffee was excellent as well and was served in a large mug that we really appreciated. We also discovered that the coffee is sourced from a small local roaster in Johns Creek, which fits perfectly with the restaurant's commitment to supporting local businesses. The dining area is somewhat small, but there is bar seating and outdoor seating available, which provides additional options. We also found out they have a second location in Johns Creek near our neighborhood, so we'll definitely be giving that one a try soon.
