The foundation is still there with the rooms and decor but with lots of tables set up, similar to hosting a gathering at home. Not only that, everyone here was really friendly! We really felt welcomed, and though the second time, service wasn't as outstanding, it was still good. I think they really nailed down the vibe of southern hospitality. For drinks, they have seasonal cocktails, which I think is fun, but I'm not around at a time where I would be able to chill and drink. I end up with a go-to sweet tea. Strong and sweet, that it kept me up, but not the strongest nor sweetest I've had. There's also complimentary bread that's mini muffin shaped and dense like a biscuit. It's buttery and salty, but I like it! Before coming, I saw so many things about the sampler, so I definitely wanted to get it and try out. Love the fried green tomatoes with the honey mustard. It didn't feel oily, and it held up pretty well when cut and dipped into sauce. The pimento cheese here is probably the best I've ever had, but I will admit that I have not had many (I tend to not like it). In fact, both these items stay on my mind enough that I do think about coming here more often than I thought I would. And this is just for the apps. The rest of the entrees are pretty standard. Some better than others, but that's due to preference. I haven't gone through the whole menu, but I do prefer their chicken to some of the other menu items. For their sides, I haven't seen or heard of some of them. I asked about them, and they were described p well, enough for me to not want to try congealed salad. I'm not a big fan of jello type things, but I did try the pear salad. Not for me. Absolutely not for me. I did really enjoy the collard green soup and sweet potato souffle though! They were great, esp the souffle. It was my first time having nuts in them, and I loved it so much. Everything else was alright, like I'm sure you've had or can make better mac. Overall, I'm glad to know this place because it's a good rec for the area if you're in the mood for Southern food. It's not a bad pick for vegetarians either, though they would only have appetizers and sides to pick from, but I liked them more than the entrees. There's a parking lot, and it's in a good location to see the rest of downtown Perry too.

Hastily cut, uneven trim framed walls painted in a forgettable monochrome, giving the whole place a rushed, indifferent feel. The food followed suit. Between the three of us, we ordered a chorizo omelette, a veggie skillet, and a Roja skillet. The portions were surprisingly meager--closer to an appetizer than a breakfast entrée. The omelette was paper-thin, while both skillets were absolutely swimming in sauce. Not generously sauced--submerged. Beneath all that sauce were remarkably few actual ingredients. In the end, each plate reflected the room around it: bland, inauthentic, and carelessly assembled.

Even though the place was packed--inside and out--we were seated immediately. The restaurant has a modern yet inviting vibe, and the staff matched that energy with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. Our waitress was personable, attentive, and made us feel taken care of the entire evening. The chips and salsa arrived quickly, and let me tell you, that salsa had the perfect kick, spicy enough to keep it interesting, and the chips were super fresh. Both of us went with Texas Margaritas to start, and they were strong, balanced, and delicious. For entrées, I had the shrimp fajitas (sizzling and flavorful, with fresh veggies cooked just right), while my husband enjoyed the shrimp tacos (he said they were some of the best he's had). Everything came out quickly, and considering how busy it was, I was beyond impressed at how well the kitchen and staff kept up. We enjoyed it so much that we came back the very next week. This time I tried the Margarita Flight--something I didn't see on the menu, but I'd spotted photos on Google. I asked about it, and sure enough, they made it happen! The flight came with guava, strawberry, peach, and mango flavors--refreshing, fun, and definitely sharable. Two visits in and I can confidently say Fuego Fresco has secured its spot as my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. Between the excellent service, flavorful food, and festive atmosphere, this spot is a must-visit. Perry needed this, and I can't wait to come back for round three!

Purchased food from here (Butler, GA location) yesterday around 3 pm. My teen son (who is tall for his age) was waiting on our order with me when my mom (who placed the order) walked out to take the rest of the kids to the car. Next thing I know, once the food is ready, there is confusion between the cook (a female) and a coworker (also female) about who's order it was and then the cook POINTS to my son and and says it belongs to that "stud" right there. I looked in disbelief and confusion and my son quickly responds that he's not a "stud", which is a male presenting female for those who are not familiar with the term. Imagine calling a 14 yr old BOY a woman who clearly looks like a BOY! Needless to say, we get in the car and this interaction completely breaks him down as he's telling my mother about the incident and is now in TEARS! All because some random, unprofessional ADULT called a CHILD a name out of nowhere, unprovoked! If I had of been thinking and wasn't in complete shock, I would have asked for a refund and a manager! I will say the coworker told the cook that he was a boy and that the order belonged to us but by then, the damage had been done. This was supposed to be a fun quick trip for our family to spend some time together and visit Peach Lane. I would never spend my money here again and wouldnt encourage others too, either, especially with children present! They might get pointed at and misgenered to their face, too! Food wasnt even worth the disrespectful experience (nor the price) and the next time we travel through, we'll be sure to keep going! Do better!!!

Nowadays, "home-made cooking" and "soul food" can be found pretty much everywhere. I would know -…read moreworking as a travel show host, I've done my share of eating at a wide variety of restaurants all across the U.S. Here at Lockett's Kuntry Cooking, I've not only found the best fried chicken in the entire country, but a true and authentic home-cooked meal. After we finished filming at a nearby Georgia Peach Farm, the owner of the farm strongly suggested that we stop at this restaurant for lunch. As we pulled up, the outside did not look promising. The shabby-looking building, weather-worn sign, and the general emptiness of Culloden, GA - a small city of 223 people - all seemed to suggest that we keep driving. Thank goodness we didn't. As the four of us walked in, a small but quaint one-room dining room came into view. There were about 10 or so tables, and a few locals enjoying their meals. The exposed brick walls warmly complemented the red and white pattern of picnic table covers; an eclectic collection of paintings and photos lined the walls; and a photo of Truett Cathy, posed next to a proud elderly woman could be seen. Our waitress, Jakayla, who will be entering the 5th grade soon, came and took our order. We ordered four waters and two diet cokes. We also ordered the lunch specials and other items from the menu on the wall, a series of hand-written, colorful poster boards. After writing down the orders, she ran to the kitchen to relay the orders to the cook who, in turn, scolded the young lady for not asking about and writing down the necessary details of the items ordered. Jakayla promptly came back to our table and sheepishly apologized, asking which condiments and veggies should be placed in my colleague's sandwich and cheeseburger. Soon, the drinks were at our table: two styrofoam cups with ice water, and two styrofoam cups with ice, along with two cans of diet coke. Last time I drank out of a styrofoam cup was at an outdoor food truck event. It's not too uncommon, so I didn't think much of it - although I thought it was a bit strange, since this was a sit-down restaurant. The Fried Chicken Lunch Combo, which my colleague ordered, was the first to hit the table: a breast and a wing, collard greens, and field peas with onions, all on styrofoam plates. Looking at the fried chicken, my opinion about this place started to change. I realized we were in for a treat. They were fried to golden perfection and smelled heavenly. Next item arrived at the table: the chicken sandwich. Now, when I say "chicken sandwich", you'd probably picture a chicken breast patty with veggies and condiments, neatly sandwiched between two buns. Instead a fried thigh and leg piece, still attached to each other, bone-in and all, were placed between two pieces of sliced bread. He had to take the bones out and re-sandwich them between the pieces to make it resemble a sandwich. This sounds ludicrous, but also delightful at the same time. There was no fancy accommodations here - and they weren't pretending either. This is the way their food had been served at this place for decades. It was delightful. My order arrived - perfectly fried pieces of leg and thigh, with collard greens and field peas with onions. Biting into the golden brown drumstick was truly an experience, as it had been the most flavorful, home-made, and so delicate at its simplest form. KFC may have its 13 secret spices or whatever - but this was truly the best fried chicken I've ever had: just perfectly crispy with juicy and flavorful insides, and a touch of grandma's care. It's a one-woman show in the kitchen. The cook, lovingly referred to by the locals as simply "Mama", came out of the kitchen to hang out with her customers. She's been cooking all her life, and had been doing what she knows and loves. At age 86, she says she doesn't plan on giving up anytime soon. After the meal, all four of us thanked Mama and her granddaughter Jakayla for a wonderful meal. My colleagues being avid photographers, took some wonderful photos of both of them for memories, of which I've uploaded a few. Some practicals: as you could imagine, this place is cash only. There's no reservations and the parking lot is very small. It gets very busy around holidays, and there aren't any convenient public transport nearby. Note the limited operating hours. There's absolutely no feasible reason to visit Culloden, GA - it's a small town in the middle of nowhere. However, if you're fortunate enough to be in the surrounding area, this place is an absolute must. Even those visiting Atlanta, it's a few hours' drive to this place but it would be 100% worth it and then some. Final word. This place absolutely and honestly lives up to phrases like "soul food" and "home-made cooking." For really, really good food, made by really, really good people, Locketts Kuntry Cooking is an absolute must.
