We've been watching this place on Facebook and decided to give it a try today. We were so glad we did! Great atmosphere, great service, HUGE servings and awesome tastes! We had the country fried chicken with mashed potatoes and turnip geeens. The turnip greens were so good and my wife said the chicken was very good. I had the fried pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes and okra. All of it was delicious! For dessert we had blueberry lemon cake and coconut cake. Pictures do not to them justice. They were so huge the lid barely closed on the to go box. It was like 1/4 of a cake. We left there stuffed with four to go boxes for two people! Highly recommend! read more

I'm writing this review as I sit in this very joint, this place, as a foodie kid from Memphis, is HEAVEN. I've come here because my grandparents from Paris recommended this place as a good 18th birthday dinner spot, and even though they may be just a little crazy, I am so glad I listened to them. The food is outstanding. I tried their Cheesesteak with French Fries, and I didn't even take a picture of it, I was that excited, and it was nothing short of outstanding. You get a lot of it too. If I wasn't a big back I would've had the entire thing for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the same can be said for their dessert cakes. The staff were excellent as well, they were friendly, and certainly helped making our first visit a welcoming experience, and I earnestly hope they are satisfied with working here. If you are a foodie, a travelling foodie, or just someone who just likes going to establishments in towns you don't even know the name of, I tell you now that you NEED to go to this place. P.S. Forget all the other beverages you can have with your food, GRAB THE TEA. Sweet or unsweet, their tea tastes HEAVENLY. read more

The food is as fun to look at as it is tasty. Such a treat for the eyes. When entering the restaurant, your first glimpse is of the dessert case. Lots of huge pieces of cake. However, you might want the cake to go because the meals are very generous portions and very filling. Our waitress was attentive and helpful with the various menu items. They all sound great, so it was really hard to choose. There were 5 in our party, we were quickly seated on a brisk rainy Thursday for lunch. I hear they are usually very crowded. All were really pleased with our food. I thought the hush puppy and the white beans were too salty, but flavor on everything else was great. The coleslaw was fresh and tangy. Check out the pictures. read more

The fish and sides were great. I'm not a fan of the the thin French fries. Mine we cooked too long and not the style I like. Hopefully they go back to more traditional fries. read more

The best fried green tomatoes! I enjoyed my country fried steak & my husband the fish. Very good read more

The food is amazing! We eat a lot of fried fish from all around and theirs may be best we've had. The prime rib special was very generous and the sides were even better... purple hull peas and homemade mashed potatoes. The waitresses are working so hard and very attentive. We had to get a slice of the amazing cakes to take home. We will be back! Pro tip: Call ahead seating or reservations are a must on Friday and Saturday night. read more

If you are looking for a clean, well maintained cafe with good, friendly service this is your place. The food is perfectly seasoned and delicious. The portions were very, very generous. I had fried catfish that came with white beans, a vinegar based slaw and fresh cut French fries. My wife enjoyed the Chicken fried chicken with real mashed potato's, skillet gravy, white beans. The chicken was perfectly cooked and so juicy that it had to have been brined. And to top it off.....Blackberry cobbler hmmmmmmmm. YOU GOTTA GO read more

Food is fabulous and plentiful! Service was great with everyone checking on us. Even the chef was in the dining room frequently. It has a very nice clean atmosphere.

Southern Fried & Sweet Tea - The southwestern burger is so good definitely my favorite - Desserts Near Me - Puryear, Tennessee

Ordered a hamburger, & sweet potato fries it was good and lots of food. Servers are attentive and do a great job taking care of you. Just an FYI, I discovered after reviewing my receipt, (they don't print receipts only text or email) I was charged 0.50 $ for a glass of water, just plain tap water, my hamburger was $14.99 which I feel is a fair price but paying for tap water. read more

We tried for the first time yesterday. This place is wonderful. The service and everyone working was top notch. Everything we ordered came out hot and delicious. The dessert was wonderful too. The white wedding cake had almond flavoring in it so that wasn't my favorite but that's just me. We will definitely go back and order dessert to take home again. This is definitely some where I would recommend. Neat home town restaurant super clean restaurant. read more

Southern Fried & Sweet Tea - Chicken fried steak mashed potatoes with gravy and green beans - Desserts Near Me - Puryear, Tennessee

Food was good and large portions. Service was good and staff were friendly. The biggest complaint is that the tea was bitter both sweet and unsweet. My wife was going to get a soft drink after tasting her tea and the machine was out of order. If you have Sweet Tea in your name it should be excellent everyday. read more

For starters, after driving from Clarksville we showed up and there was a line. No worries as it was a Saturday afternoon. Or so we thought. Here's the problem. After over an hour waiting, we had not moved up on the list. Folks who had driven in from Jackson and been waiting almost 2 hours. Still nothing. With 4 groups in front of them. People walking in and after a few minutes were shown to their table. The young lady behind the counter was having issues it appeared. After 1.5 hours, she FINALLY came out and called someone who just got here. We are now at the two hour mark and STILL have people IN FRONT of us. Only two people have been seated on this list. This has removed ANY enjoyment we could have gotten here. We are leaving! NEVER AGAIN..... NEVER AGAIN! read more

The food is amazing and you get your moneys worth!! If you leave hungry that's your fault lol! I got the pan seared pork chops with mashed potatoes and fried green tomatoes and I am full as a tick!! read more

Southern Fried & Sweet Tea - Pan seared pork - Desserts Near Me - Puryear, Tennessee

I really wanted to like the food here. The pics online look so good. But the chicken strips were so incredibly salty, I couldn't finish them. And I rarely think anything is too salty. And the mashed potatoes were super, super peppery, omg. Couldn't finish those either. I never leave reviews but I just had to after this experience. My husband liked his cake (only thing he got). The hushpuppies were unlike any I've had before... nothing but cornbread balls, fried up. No typical onions & seasonings of a hushpuppy. So disappointing. read more

Definitely will be back the next time I'm in Paris. Amy was a great waitress!! read more

Put our name in and we're told 45 minute wait and they would call cell phone. After no call and 45 minutes returned to hostess and our name was crossed off. We were not called and were told it would be another 45 minutes for us to wait so we left our name on the list and after 10 minutes decided to leave. Nobody ever called. read more
