    This place has been open since 1962 and I can definitely see why it's so successful. The long lines…read moreinside and outside says it all. People will literally WAIT to get their hands on this place and I'm glad we were part of those people today. Forget Cracker Barrel, forget IHOP. We went here for the first time since moving here in 2021 and I'm extremely happy we chose this place for breakfast. Hands down, THE BEST breakfast place I have ever had. As you can see, I didn't even wait to take a bite before taking a picture. The chicken biscuit was literally THE BEST chicken biscuit I've ever had. The chicken was juicy, not even close to being dry. I didn't need any honey or ketchup or anything. It was literally perfect the way it was. They make their biscuits to PERFECTION. The fluffiest, most flavorful, buttery, biscuits that just melt in your mouth. I can't even right now. Also got the Salmon croquet biscuit with egg. JUICY. Like how they make their food so yummy and juicy is beyond me, it's sorcery! Pleaseeee get me started with their scones because we got the apple cinnamon scone with icing on top. LORD HAVE MERCY. That wasn't just a scone. It was a scone sent down from heaven kissed by God himself. The SOFTEST most moist scone EVER. Dear God, please continue to bless the hands that make the food here because... wow, just wow.

    The food was excellent. We came on a semi busy night but not terribly busy. We were seated right…read moreaway. Maybe two or three tables still available. The food was excellent as I said before the service was a little slow. Young man came over and got our drink order and then disappeared for 1520 minutes which might be the bartenders fault and then he came back and said we're really busy over at the bar. It's gonna be a little bit longer. Would you like to put in your food so from the time we walked into the door until the time order we ordered our food was about 40 minutes. Our drinks came out with our food. And that would be my only recommendation is either higher or more bar assistance. Or tell your weight staff to make more frequent stops to the table.

    Barb's is amazing! A little hole in the wall, nothing fancy, but the food is delicious! You can't…read morego wrong with anything from breakfast or dinner! Homestyle cooking at its finest! Grits made from scratch where all you need to eat is a spoon - perfect every time. This is our go to place every trip we make a trip to Eufaula! service is exceptional - Bernard is just a sweet person and if you are lucky, Ms Barb brings you your dish personally!

    The service here is a little weird and jarring at first. I hadn't gone more than 10 feet through…read morethe door when I was asked "What'll you have to drink?" You just have to know the procedure, but it wasn't only me, a Northerner whose brain hadn't yet fully recalibrated for the local accent. Locals were confused too. Procedure is this: tell them your drink preference (I had water), pick up a tray, put it on the counter, pick out a main, three sides, a dessert, slide it down to the register, pay, and take it to your table. At that point do you begin eating? No! Remove your items from the tray and they come by and pick it up. Now begin! You may be thinking "Soup Nazi" from Seinfeld but I assure you it didn't feel that way. Just the quirky way they run the place. The waitress did warm up after I was there a while, came over to ask where I was from, etc. And to try to convince me to come back for breakfast! This is cafeteria style, with everything prepared ahead of time and kept warm on steam trays. So how do they keep that fried chicken so crunchy and delicious? Perhaps the best I've ever had, the batter so crunchy you could probably hear me eating from another room, assertively peppery, the large leg and thigh pieces perfectly cooked and juicy. (White meat also available.) My sides were lima beans, turnip greens, and yams. The highlight was the yams: super sweet but not in a bad way, balanced by good seasonings. The beans were fine, a bit salty. The only disappointment were the turnip greens, too finely chopped and overcooked. The portion sizes were decent. Also included is corn bread. Two choices: baked or fried. Never heard of fried so I tried that. Interesting but a little chewy and not so much corn flavor; next time I'd get the baked. Finishing this rather large lunch was a challenge for me but I managed, while taking in the local ambience. I saved the dessert for later. Dessert? Yes. I was also asked on ordering what I wanted for dessert. The only one that appealed was the red velvet cake (the others were a cobbler and bread pudding) so I got that. I assumed it was included but when I paid I saw it was not. $4; no big deal. It didn't look that good, a thin 1 inch slice tightly shrink wrapped on a paper plate. Looks were deceiving. The first time I actually liked red velvet cake, a light crumbly texture and cream cheese frosting that tasted of more than sugar. With the amount of frosting this tiny slice was quite filling and I'm glad it wasn't larger. All this for a little over $21. I think this was including tip but I'm not positive. Either way, great deal!

Seating is mostly family-style with condiments on a lazy Susan at each table...hot sauce, pepper vinegar and a pitcher of sweet tea for refills. Service was very friendly and it was obvious the locals eat here--always a good sign. Parking is mostly in the back, with two or three on the street.

    Just got back from a GA visit, went to Paul's on Thursday for fish - OH BOY !!!…read moreHave loved this place forever and we literally plan our departure time from Florida to make it there for lunch, but had never been on fish day. As usual, the food was excellent and I got to have some of that grand lace cornbread - that I can not replicate at home :( - but anyway, I also have to let you know about the hush puppies. I am the daughter of a fisherman so have eaten more than my share of fish and hush puppies in my life. These hush puppies made me want to fall off my chair. The outside was crunchy good and the inside was as light as air, literally melted in your mouth. I truly have never had such a good hush puppy and my Mom made some darn good ones. So plan your visit for a Thursday some time! They also have some new T-shirts with a print on the back of a painting done by Mrs. Paul's - great granddaughter I think is correct. Nice colors, really nice T-shirt. If you are in the Dawson area and you don't go here, you're really missing a great Southern food experience, as well as a place that's clean, staffed by nice people and is a great value. Ending this now, it's making me hungry and it's too late in the evening to start out for Dawson . . .

    Went here after attending service at Marantha Baptist Church. This seemed to be a popular go-to…read moreafter service at the church, as I saw a lot of familar faces from the congregation and many of them had recommended the restaurant to us as well (or I guess not much is opened in the small town). The Silo is a small, meat and three, cafeteria-style restaurant, with a small, humble range of choices obviously cooked fresh. There really was only a plate option available with your choice of entree (fried chicken/meatloaf), 2 sides, cornbread, dessert (only pie that day), and sweet tea. The chicken was piping hot when we got it, tender and juicy but could've had a little more seasoning. The mac and mashed potatoes were decent, as well as the cornbread which had a nice bit of crust. I really liked the peanut butter pie I got, not too sweet and light enough to finish after a pretty heavy meal.

    Honestly, it was just okay for me. We went on 10/14/18 after attending a Marantha Baptist Church…read moreservice. They were doing buffet style, they may do that all the time, not sure. For $9.95 you got, an entree (Fried Chicken Quarter or Baked Spaghetti), 2 veggies (MacCheese, Green Beans, Rutabaga, couple of others), Peach Cobbler, biscuit/cornbread, and tea. For a bakery, a DEEP south one at that, you would expect the cobbler to be really good...not so much. It was all edible, but something was off, perhaps it just wasn't seasoned enough. Like there wasn't any sugar or salt in anything. Everybody was super friendly, and these folks were FAST! The restaurant was clean and comfortable. It's one of the only food options in town, and the only thing available on this Sunday.
