I saw this place as we were in our way to our worksite. The name caught my eye and it was all I…read morecould think about. We went here for lunch. It's a small place sort of looked like it could have been a fast food restaurant. There was plenty of seating. You could order from the menu or from the hot table (not sure what else to call it). There were two ladies working up front and it took a long time to order. I had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes, green beans, a cornbread muffin and a tea (half sweet/half unsweetened). My colleague had meatloaf, Mac and cheese, green beans, and a biscuit. We each ordered peach cobbler. They serve a lot of food! My colleague said she was going to take some for dinner. Well. . . she ate everything. It must have been really good. I haven't had good fried chicken in a long time and it was delicious. I ate all the green beans and the cornbread. I took the chicken to eat later. The mashed potatoes started out tasting good but then I started to notice an after taste that I didn't like. I didn't eat them. My colleague could not eat the cobbler. I'm not sure what was wrong with it but she tasted it and said she couldn't eat it. I unfortunately never got to eat mine. It sat in the fridge in the hotel and I ended up tossing it before I left. I was a little disappointed. I really was expecting some grits and maybe some greens (not green beans).

My bestie and I stopped here on our way to a service, and we are SO glad that we did. I got grits,…read morecheese eggs and a fried pork chop, bestie got grits, eggs and sausage patties. We didn't need to add anything to our food and it was perfect. Those were some of the best grits I've ever had in my LIFE. I will make a special trip out of the way for good food, and this is a spot that I'd come to every week if I lived closer. The cooks' hands are blessed, because the way I INHALED that food should be a crime in itself. The decor was cute and festive for the occasion, but all I could concentrate on was that FOOD.

My expectations were low based on reviews and some old health violations. But I took the risk anyway. The food was REALLY good! I'm no longer a waffle snob. And the hash browns with gravy hit the spot. (See pic) Now I understand the cult following. I saw nothing concerning other than a bit of grime on the customer side of the cash register. The bathroom was spacious and clean. The staff hustled and based on their name tags, were highly experienced. The grill cook at this location has been there five years. That's a long time in the world of fast casual dining. Don't let the oddly specific bad reviews prevent you from eating here. It's just fine!! Funny story: one of the pre-generated Yelp questions popped up and asked, "is this place romantic?" I laughed since, um, it's a Waffle House. But the customers at the counter were clearly a couple in love and were feeding the (adorable) juke box to play fun songs. So actually, technically, yes this place is romantic!

Got the salad & it was a pretty underdone piece of salmon after asking for it well done. Asked the waiter why it wasn't blackened (out of curiosity) still ate it & called it good & told me we had to ask for it blackened. It was a very basic boring salad with a frozen piece of salmon for $20. My husband ordered a burger & fries. The burger was really good & he got goat cheese & bacon on it. The fries on the other hand were not it. Bummer because they are supposedly hand cut. They were drenched in oil. Like to the point that you couldn't even eat a few without feeling awful. They were soggy & heavy. Think homemade fries but in a super old fryer with lots of crisco. Overall very underwhelming for a place with such high reviews. Won't be back! Gotta step up it up if you guys plan to stay in business for another 50 years!

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.

The Taste of Heaven just happens to be one. I recently spent nearly $70 on 2 chitterling dinners ( don't judge) but what I got was 2 rice dinners with just a coating of chitterlings on top. After waiting over 20 minutes, being only customer when I arrived , I was told that there wasn't enough chitterlings to fill both my orders and offered me oxtails on the platter with the least. Tired of waiting I agreed. When I tasted the chitterlings and the oxtails it was obvious that they had been thawed a couple of time. They were so over seasoned and spicy hot that it was closer to a taste of hell! On a positive note, the place was very clean with the strong scent of Pine Sol in the air, and the lady who took my order was very nice.
