My first trip in got the fried pork chop a with sweet potato mash and green beans. All were delicious! The sweet tea was perfect too, not too sweet.

We were in Athens and wanted to give Rachel's Southern Style Restaurant a try. We mentioned it was…read moreour first time in the restaurant and two people heading out the door told us they were regulars and we would really like it. Let's just say the restaurant exceeded the hype. First off a Thank You to Chiara for the great service. I ordered the chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy and Mac and Cheese. My better half had the fried pork chop, collards along with the mashed potatoes and gravy. We both loved our meals loaded with great flavor and the tenderness of the entree's. Now the cornbread was just like what my wife's granny used to make. Can't forget the chocolate fudge cake. We highly recommend you stop in to give them a try. We know we will be back the next time we are in town.

Stopped by Cottage House Restaurant in Cleveland and this place is exactly what you want if you're…read morelooking for a solid, no-frills Southern breakfast. First off, the setup is super easy. You walk in, grab a tray, and you've got options. You can go through the hot bar and get served right there, pay, and be on your way... or order off the menu, sit down, and they'll bring the food to you. Very simple and efficient. The inside is spacious with plenty of seating, and there's also outdoor seating if you want it. Parking is easy too, which is a big plus, especially compared to the chaos you'll run into closer to Helen. Food wise, I always judge breakfast spots by the chicken, egg, and cheese biscuit... and this one held up. The chicken was tender, the biscuit was soft and fresh, and overall it was a solid start. The surprise for me was the hashbrown casserole. It came out good, but once I added a little salt, the flavor really popped. Definitely worth getting. The pancakes were also done right... nice crispy edges with a soft, fluffy inside. That's exactly how pancakes should be. Menu wise, they've got everything you'd expect from a Southern breakfast spot... biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon, sausage, country ham, pancakes, omelets, and even lunch style items like burgers and plate meals if you come later. They also have a Coca-Cola fountain, which is always a win. Service was friendly, especially for early morning, and the whole place just has that comfortable, old-school home cooking feel. There is also a drive thru if you don't feel like leaving your car. Overall, this is a great spot if you want a good breakfast without the crowds. Simple, tasty, and easy.

Fried chicken -great! Fried catfish -great ! Smash burger - better than the other burger places ! Sides are all great as well. Collards are some of the best I've had in a restaurant setting. Salads are great too. ( Side and entree ) Service is good and fast as you order and pay at counter and then sit and wait for them to bring your food to the table. Then they continue to wait on you. Filling drinks and bringing you what you need. I feel like the owners are always in there working- making sure the place runs well. Talking to people, running food out. I always feel taken care of. This place is on our regular rotation.

We were picking up my truck from the Ram dealer around lunchtime so said "hey let's go get some BBQ, it's right down the road". The exterior has a modern and tidy barn door look and there is plenty of parking. We walked in and it was nice and cool (great on a summer day) and looked to the left to see the cafeteria line. Hey this looks odd for a BBQ restaurant buts lets check it out. Then we see in the line that there neither stew nor que, it's southern meat and two. OK, well we are here let's give it a go. I had chicken tenders which looked hand breaded. They had good texture but could use some spices. The mashed potatoes were hood with some good gravy. The lima beans were too salty to eat. Megan liked her chicken fried steak. I am not sure it was breaded house. She also had the mashed potatoes. Megan liked the green beans. The corn bread was kinda dry and crumbly with no sweetness. I think some people like it this way. The biscuit was good. I am not a super fan of the meat and three so this was just OK. I would likely stop here for a breakfast biscuit if I am in the area in the morning.
