We went to G's Country Kitchen for lunch after an appointment with Minnie, and now I completely…read moreunderstand why it's such a local favorite. The star of the meal was the fried green tomatoes. They were thick, juicy, perfectly fried, and honestly didn't need any dipping sauce or condiment at all. They're some of the best I've had. Minnie and I both ordered the whole catfish with mashed potatoes and fried green tomatoes. We absolutely demolished our plates. The catfish was delicious, and the mashed potatoes tasted genuinely homemade. The brown gravy was rich and flavorful and paired perfectly with them. My mom ordered the 4-vegetable plate with fried green tomatoes, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and fried okra. She loved everything on her plate. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the restaurant was busy the entire time we were there. There was a steady stream of both dine-in customers and takeout orders, which tells you a lot about the place's reputation. My only complaint is the wait time. Food takes a while to come out, especially if you're ordering fried items, but they do warn you ahead of time. The quality makes it clear they're cooking to order, so if you decide to visit, just be prepared to be patient. If someone asked me where to take an out-of-town guest for authentic Southern cooking, G's Country Kitchen would be at the top of my list. The food is homemade, comforting, and exactly what people imagine when they think of classic Southern cuisine. Overall, the food was fantastic, the service was welcoming, and it's easy to see why G's Country Kitchen is a go-to spot for homestyle country cooking. We'll definitely be back.

This was Southern hospitality at its finest, wrapped in incredible food and genuine warmth from the moment our Forest Service and Alabama A&M team walked through the door. The owner and staff were extremely kind, welcoming, and hospitable to our group, treating us less like customers and more like honored guests. The owner personally sat with our team, walking us through the menu item by item, sharing stories, and offering recommendations on his favorite dishes. That personal touch set the tone for the whole lunch and made the meal feel both special and deeply personal. The food itself was soul-satisfying in every way. The fried chicken was perfectly seasoned with a crispy exterior and juicy interior, the kind of dish that makes you pause after the first bite. The catfish was especially delicious as well, tender, flavorful, and cooked just right, embodying everything you hope for in classic country cooking. And the banana pudding was a standout, instantly transporting me to memories of dining in Savannah, with that rich, comforting, homemade taste you feel in your soul. From start to finish, everything about our visit to G's Country Kitchen was outstanding...the hospitality, the conversation, the food, and the feeling of being truly cared for. Many thanks to the owner and the entire staff for a great experience and a lunch that our Forest Service and Alabama A&M team will not soon forget.

Felt like I was home, I forgot I was even working today. I am definitely coming back to try the whole menu. 100/100

In the absence of a website, we found a Facebook page and menus posted in Google which we referenced to make our dinner selections. When we called to order, we were told the items we requested were not being served on Saturdays and that daily specials were available shown on their Facebook page. We then selected items from their Facebook page and were advised only one portion of fish was available, and there was only one vegetable option, which was problematic since two of our diners were pescatarian. The pescatarians decided to share the fish and the other guests ordered the chicken and ribs. The fried catfish and chicken were delicious, fried perfectly and the ribs were also pretty good. The macaroni and cheese was mushy and wasn't very cheesy; however, the cole slaw, seasoned fries and roll were all tasty sides. Overall, the lack of selections at 6:30 pm on a Saturday night was disappointing; however, the staff was friendly and Niyah's may be worth a second try.

I ordered two catfish dinners, macaroni and cheese, yams, okra, sweet potato fries, cornbread, and paid extra for fried green tomatoes. Each catfish dinner comes with (1) catfish filet, (2) sides, and (1) bread. The catfish is delicious. It was "Seasoned to the T" as the establishment advertises. The fried green tomatoes were crunchy on the outside and soft and fleshy on the inside. The cornbread was good humble buttermilk cornbread. Don't expect sweet cornbread. The fried okra was very tasty. Unfortunately, that where my food compliments end. The macaroni and cheese had more of a watery consistency. I'm a fan of thick macaroni and cheese. The yams were also watery nor could I taste any seasoning. The sweet potato fries were lukewarm. Next, the hospitality. I was very warmly received. She was not overly chatty (which I enjoy) but nowhere anywhere near disrespectful. Overall, I enjoyed her salt-of-the-earth approach to conversation. Lastly, the facility. It was extremely clean and full of comforting touches. It felt like walking into your home that you didn't know you already owned. It was very well lit and everything looked well maintained. Overall, I enjoyed my experience, save for those sides. I'm going to return to try other sides. Their demeanor and establishment's cleanliness are what has me willing to return to try again.

The…read moreclosest thing to true Cajun cooking you're going to find without actually being back in South Louisiana. If you've ever had authentic Cajun food, you'll recognize it immediately. No shortcuts, no watered-down versions. Just straight, legit flavor. The owners are from Metairie, right off the north side of Lake Pontchartrain, and it shows in everything they put out. They've got both cooked and live crawfish, which matters if you actually know what a proper boil looks like. I have zero connection to this place. Found it by accident. I'll be back regularly. Cajun food sits just behind Korean for me, and this hit that nerve hard. Took me straight back to Lafourche Parish and my stepmother's cooking. That kind of food sticks with you. And yeah, it's in a gas station. Ignore that. If you know anything about New Orleans, some of the best po'boys you'll ever eat come out of spots just like that. Bottom line. This place isn't a novelty. It's a find.

She immediately gave us a senior discount. I see why the seniors were there. Breakfast for 2 is 10-12 dollars cheaper here. I ordered a ham, cheese, mushroom and onion omelette. It came with hash browns and toast. My omelette was way overcooked and didn't taste very good. The hash browns were very similar to the instant hash browns that are hydrated and then cooked. The grease or oil used had an off putting taste. 3/5 Dave had scrambled eggs, bacon, biscuit and gravy. He said his food was ok. The gravy was white sauce and bland. He said the other breakfasts he had recently were much better tasting. 3/5 We will stop by and try other foods. This restaurant has been around since the early 90's and is close to homes and apartments. Many seniors live in the apartments close by and they eat at Rolo's at least 4 days a week. That's what the table of 8 seniors said. They were having fun and I couldn't help to hear what they were talking about. Something about paying rent at Rolo's.

Really more like a 3.5, FWIW…read more Took a lil roadtrip out to Athens with my folks on a day off last week. We wanted to try this place. Since it is in the main part of downtown, super close parking is a bit of a big ask; we parked at a public government building about two blocks down and walked over. The inside is very small and only has a couple of two-seater tables and one bench setup, but there are multiple nice metal tables outside to sit at if the weather is good. Fortunately, we lucked out in that regard, as it was a nice day. The inside of the restaurant smelled absolutely amazing, so I was excited to order. Their lunch menu mostly consists of sandwiches and burgers, with limited sides like chips, broccoli salad, soup of the day, and so on. Bottled drinks and a couple of desserts round it all out. My parents split a Philly cheese steak sandwich with pasta salad; I got a chicken cheese steak with a cup of the soup of the day (potato), and we shared a slice of strawberry pretzel salad for dessert! The employees were nice enough to bring our food out to us while we were at a metal table on the patio, so that was sweet. Food came out relatively quickly and was definitely fresh. Overall, it was fine! My favorite thing was probably the strawberry pretzel salad; I wish I'd had a little more but I should've ordered my own portion! lol. The potato soup had really nice garlicky croutons on top that I enjoyed, though I wish there'd been bigger chunks of potato in it. I liked my chicken Philly just fine though I feel like it was missing some sort of flavor somewhere. My parents felt the same about their regular Philly. Unlike me, though, my mom unfortunately got several gristley bits she had to spit out. The chicken didn't have that same problem. Overall, a pleasant enough experience though I wouldn't say our socks were knocked off, haha. I'd return and try other menu options if I come back in the future.

Goode fried food is hard. The fried menu items I had here were the best I've had in years!…read more The setting is far off the beaten path, but I found out why as we were leaving. Service was quick and cheerful from all the staff. I had the fried catfish, baby lima beans, fried okra, and hush puppies. Spouse had shrimp basket, hush puppies, and homemade potato chips. As you can see, multiple fried foods. Fried okra is how I test "country" cooking. This was the best fried okra I have had in years. The catfish, shrimp and hush puppies were all excellent. It seems like they use a very light oil, but however, they do it the results are crunchy, non-greasy and bring out the flavor of the food. The way frying is meant to do. Very light breading but just enough. The baby lima beans were excellent. So many times I've had side orders that tasted just like they were scooped out of a 5 gallon can of Sysco product. I could be wrong, maybe it was the very very mild seasoning, but these did not seem commercial. A few caveats. There was a single catfish fillet and it was quite small. I recall getting the catfish fillet meal at the old Gibson's on the Parkway before it burned down. Two large fillets. But actually they could not compare to this. Hush puppies were excellent, I like more onions in them. But that's my preference. But for me, this does not takeoff from the overall five star rating, which I rarely give on a first visit. If you like country food, by all means go here. We will be back.
