It was a little warm inside when we visited, but still an enjoyable experience overall. For the buffet, the food was decent with a good variety. There were many southern-style dishes, a nice salad bar, and lots of desserts to choose from. The fried chicken was great, and it was a nice surprise to see low boil seafood available as well. One thing worth noting is that you're required to put on a disposable glove every time you get a plate at the buffet, which felt like a good step for cleanliness. Overall, a pleasant experience with great service, good comfort food, and a charming atmosphere.

There was a crowd building at about 10:45am in anticipation of the 11am opening. I braved the wind and stood with everyone else. I was seated just inside the door at a table for two and quickly ordered an unsweetened iced tea. After looking at the menu, I had to decide was three I would pick. It was not an easy decision! I settled on fried whole wings, mac and cheese, creamed corn and broccoli casserole. There was a piece of corn bread on the side as well. Next time, I will choose something other than the broccoli casserole... it wasn't a favorite. I truly enjoy a small business and this was a must return place. I suspect the dessert options are stellar... I was too stuffed to even consider it.

Plenty of space for a group or couples or all my your lonesome! The owners are so friendly, it's almost like eating a friend's home. Table covers and bright colors and brick walls make the space warm. The food (oh the food!!), is UH-making!! It's like eating at grandmama's house on Sunday but with a little world flavor. 5 types of grits dishes; grilled breakfast sandwiches, wraps & wings, pasta, on & on. Nothing too crazy-fancy, but a good variety. I tried the catfish & it was perfection!! The grits are plentiful and cooked smooth and tasty!! My southern MIL ate a side of grits with her shrimp and grits, they were so good. The coffee is simple K-cup but good. The kids drained their strawberry-lemonades. No complaints at out big table. I feel like this is a destination spot to eat when you come through! Seriously homemade food, cooked with love & history, and just a warm welcoming place! **Fair warning! This is a family-run spot. Don't come here if you're in a rush! Good food takes time to enjoy!**

Going through Elberton, GA and didn't want fast food. Found this place on Yelp and decided to give…read moreit a try. We are glad we did! From the start, we were welcomed and the server was pleasant and professional. We wanted one of each thing on the menu but decided to start with the appetizer soul rolls - chicken, Philly, and sweet potato. All were excellent and plenty to share among the 4 of us. The meals we got were the shrimp scampi, the shrimp and grits, the shrimp basket and the catfish nuggets with grits. All of the food was freshly prepared and served and the taste/ seasonings on each was very well done. There were no complaints of the food at all. The only challenge was finding the place because gps takes you to a parking lot in the back - so just walk around to the front of the alley and it's very nice with other shops there as well. We definitely will return and this time will be specifically for dinner and not just passing through

While I know many come for the food, I personally make the 25-minute drive for one thing: the Sweet Potato Cheesecake. Or at least, I used to. Lately, it seems like something has changed in the process. The cheesecake hasn't been setting properly, and the cream cheese isn't fully blended into the sweet potato, leaving noticeable chunks. The flavor, once rich and decadent, has also diminished, making me question if it's still worth the trip. That said, I've heard the rest of the food is still solid, so if you're craving Southern comfort food, it may still be worth checking out. But for me, unless the cheesecake returns to its former glory, I might have to sit this one out.

The meat and three along with the vegetable only options are welcomed changes to the family style only meal for those desiring smaller portions. In our experience, the food was served hot and was perfectly prepared. We chose white meat chicken and received two large breast that were excellent! The two catfish fillets and four slices of meat loaf were delicious. The vegetables were Lima beans, cabbage casserole, creamed corn, potatoes au gratin, slaw and a spring salad. All were served fresh with two biscuits and two corn muffins. The relish, apple butter and Sogrum-sage butter were delightful. We were blessed to have April for our server, and highly recommend her for your visit. She shared the history of the area and is proud of the changes and history of the Dillard House. Thank you for a great meal. The fried chicken is better than I remembered. Yes, the restaurant is open, and parts of the motel are being remodeled/updated and the new hotel is under construction. Don't let the remodeling deter you from the eating at the restaurant or enjoying your favorite drink from the bar.

Poor service, poor food quality. Not impressed at all…read more Ambience is nice, very spacious, newly built, restaurant. Friendly staff. Not very attentive at all. Say for 15 minutes before the manager had to obtain a server for our table. After the food was delivered, the server did not provide adequate service. I requested a water refill, which took an additional 15 minutes, because she continually forgot. Food quality wasn't the greatest. They served chicken, which consisted of 2 thighs and 2 drumsticks. Along with friend catfish filets, that had been way over salted. Both were very soggy. I ate half the thigh and quit. Veggies? Only vegetables were Lima beans, everything else considered vegetables, was a casserole. A table full of starches. Over rated and over priced. Sadly disappointed. If you want good southern food, go further south to Thomasville, GA. Go to O'Neals. You can fool some folks, but not someone that knows southern cooking. We won't return.
