The Buffett is to die for and includes desserts. So many choices and the best fried chicken I have ever eaten.
There is also a menu if you want something else.
Get there early. The doors open at 5PM. We arrived around 4:00PM and the line was around the building.

I was glad to have so many choices in yogurt flavors, and even more glad when she said I could taste some first,before my purchase. I was also happy to see the Keurig, since coffee goes with everything!Thank you for visiting Swirlee's. We change our flavors often so feel free to stop by any time to try them. We look forward to seeing you soon. Thanks!

The sandwiches are delicious here. I'm not a coffee drinker so I can't comment there, but the place is adorable. It is an old police station and there is seating in the old jail cells. It is tasty and super cute!

outstanding cupcakes though small are cased out front and need the pack of goodies. brownies with salted caramel with chunks of fudge ought to bring stares from those trying to get past st peter at the gate. sinfully delicious. they also serve lunch which looked appealing featuring fresh chicken salad nicely presented atop a seeded bun. after getting off i-20 this was truly an oasis in a barren desert. we cannot wait to return located smack dab downtown across from cawftrd w long museum and pharmacy.

Nothing tremendous. Nothing horrible. Nothing, in fact, that would distinguish it from any other Mexican restaurant. The salsa is not very good at all, so that at least cut down on my chip intake. On a positive note, the menu is expansive so there should be options for everyone.

I always seem to want a Blizzard and that's the best thing about DQ. They always seem to have one for me when I get there. I've had a problem here once that prompted my to write a letter to the manager or owner, which I got a phone call back from. Excellent follow up with every concern I had and they offered to make everything right, but why, they stepped up and made the offer. I ate the food and I've been back so all is good. They recognized they had and issue and they took immediate care to make things right. Take your kids after the Friday night game or just get one of those Blizzards... I get mine all year long!

Pizza was great. We got the 2 slice and drink meal for $6 and some change and was only able to eat a little over half of it. The slices are huge. We also enjoyed playing a game of pool and PAC-man while we waited on our food.

Stopped in Jefferson and decided to check trip advisor for what I call a hole in the wall restaurant. One off main highway. And I found this one. Was not in the least disappointed. Reviews were right on. I had country fried steak biscuit and coffee. People talk of what a good cup of coffee you get and it was exceptional. Prices are very reasonable. Paid less than 5bucks. My cousin had sausage biscuit and coffee. Her sausage patty filled her big Bisquit. Locals kept coming angry going. You know you found a good place when this happens. Place is very simple. Except for food and service. Great place. Will definitely stop should I be going thru Jefferson again.
10. Redd's Que & Stew
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13 reviews
Reviewed By Susan G - Mount Airy, Georgia
We actually were looking for the Redd House, which is nearby. Instead we ate Saturday lunch here. We each got a BBQ pork plate. It came with stew, toast, good portion of pork, and slaw. You got one more side: hubs chose potato salad and I went for fries. They brought the stew first and offered bread or crackers. It was good stew, but doesn't meet our gold standard: BBQ Shack in Toccoa! Same for the slaw--BBQ Shack wins that one, too. The potato salad was pretty good; the fries were excellent. Now we think the pork was better than BBQS! (But we usually have the chicken--ha!). Sauce was okay--a bit sweet but not too thick. The place was spotless, including the unisex restroom. I do hate like anything to eat out of styrofoam with plastic utensils. I'd say the price was s little steep for being WAY off the beaten path. I'd go again.
