Tom & Hattie's Restaurant

Food was spot on, service was spectacular along with friendliest small town feel. Price was a little higher than expected but definitely worth it.

Thank you so much for the wonderful family atmosphere and incredible home cooking! This rest so is run by Tom and Hattie’s children and they made us feel so welcome. We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for their “fish fry” while we were on a mini vacation exploring the area. I got lucky when I found their listing on maps. If I’m ever in the area again I will return.

The best Mac & Cheese I have ever eaten. As well as the best fried chicken! I was thoroughly impressed with how well executed all the food was cooked and prepared. Many places claim good southern food but few actually produce it. Tom & Hattie’s does and with amazing friendly service too!

If you want delicious country cooking, this is the place to go! There aren’t many great spots for country food in the area, so this place is a gem. The prices are fair, and the portion sizes are decent. The food is fresh and flavorful. When you walk in, you choose your meat and sides, which is nice because you can see all the options before picking. There’s plenty of room inside to accommodate guests. The hours are a bit different, so just check before you go. Everyone who worked there was very friendly. Overall, I highly recommend it!

Excellent food, wonderful atmosphere and the sweetest, kindest people!! Loved our visit to this lovely place. The food was fresh, delicious and plentiful!! Come hungry and ready to be welcomed!!

A family operated and owned establishment delivering a family style environment and a home cooked meal! You'll love it! Stop by the next time you're wanting warmth,smiles and a full belly. Highly recommended

I’m rating this great place based on a buffet restaurant experience, hence the 5 stars. I and a friend came in today (June 8, 2025) around noon, and walking in we had a good feeling about the place. Every single one of the staff welcomed us in with big smiles and pleasant greetings. I’m not talking about false greetings, I mean that we felt like we just walked into a families house for Thanksgiving! First of all the place is spanking clean from the outside front entrance to the buffet to the tables. They have a big sign inside the front foyer to announce the daily specials. When you come into the main buffet counter, you will find a very well lit buffet with all the dishes laid out immaculately, I mean clean and not your normal buffet. It looks like these folks take pride in how their food looks and it shows. Depending on the day you get different specials, today it was baked chicken, fried chicken, wings or meatloaf as the meat service. So many choices of sides so take your time and choose wisely, or just keep coming back! Today I had the meatloaf with several sides. For my sides I had the dressing, squash casserole and fried okra. Lookee here, that meatloaf was slathered up with ketchup on top, that casserole was moist and with a little crust on it, the dressing made me want some turkey and deviled egged to go with it (gotta remember to come back around Thanksgiving!). The okra was lightly fried on just about as perfect as you want; I’m guessing they either get their okra local or know where to buy it cuz it’s FRESH! You get your choice (at least today) of cornbread or roll, so I chose the roll for today, great choice with the meatloaf. I topped it off with the sweet tea and at least they also know how to make good old southern sweet tea for a muggy Georgia day! I got all that (with tip) for less than I pay at other buffets around town, and better food here! Parking is not huge but it is ample for their needs. Location is perfect literally on Hwy 41. I have zero complaints about this place and I’ll return just because of the wonderful folks that run this joint. I’m going to highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good buffet in a great atmosphere with some good folk. Y’all come try it out!

Great food and friendly people! I’m coming back soon and make sure you get the peach cobbler. I suppose if I had one complaint, is that I would have liked some ice cream or whipped cream with that amazing cobbler.
