Got the chicken fried chicken, scrambled eggs, bacon and biscuit with sausage gravy. The biscuit was your good ole southern eating. The chicken fried steak and eggs were edible, but not very good. Very nice staff and I got out of there only spending $5. Good thing though, cause I will not be going back
Review Source:Went here just the other day for lunch, and it was so good. This is good old Southern cookin'. The green beans were so yummy, and I love their mac and cheese-it doesn't get all clumpy, but it is more of a cheesy sauce (think Stouffer's). The fresh strawberries were a great way to top it off. They are doing a lot of remodelling and it is nice to see the place get a face lift. If you wear overalls, this is a good place to hang out and meet similarly-minded people. Or get a tasty biscuit. My friend got the country fried steak and it caused me to be a bit jealous.
Review Source:The food here is pretty heavy and traditional Southern stuff, but usually tasty.
I like the banana pudding, fried chicken, meatloaf and the sides. My husband had the chicken livers once and he said they were dry and over-cooked.
It's a serve yourself kind of place. You load up a plate, with a main dish and your choice of number of sides. At the end of the line, you get a drink, pay and someone usually offers to carry your loaded tray to a table of your choice.
If you want to know what they're serving from day to day, check out their website which has the dishes posted.
Prices are reasonable, and the clientele seem to be mainly locals.
When I make what I call a "great circle" orbit of Suwanee to Flowery Branch to Oakwood to Cumming and back to home, I try to include a stop at Loretta's for lunch about every second time. Loretta's is a cafeteria style restaurant where you get a tray, then a plate, glide down a stailess steel runway, you pick em, you plop em onto your plate as high as gravity will allow, you grab your paper napkin rolled cylinder of silverware, dispenshussssh your beverage of choice from a fountain machine, pay, pick up your tray, and head to a table. Â The variety on the steam tables is what you would expect from a country cookin' place. What IS different is that there is an expert hand in the preparation of the veggies (mostly fresh during non-Winter), seasoned to suit the palates of hard working folk. Interpreted: vegetarians better stay away, because the only thing that doesn't have bacon, salt pork or side meat involved in its preparation is the salad bar. The variety of entrees changes from day to day. Fried chicken is good, just stay with the dark meat. Pulled BBQ pork is better than average. Pulled pork roast in gravy is a marvel of country cooking, tender, moist, and savory. Country fried steak has too much breading for my taste, but good flavor. Fried cod or whitefish is huge and good, but poke it with the tongs to see if it's dried out. I generally get a plate with 3 veggies and a slab of cornbread. The pole beans, boiled cabbage, fried okra, home made mashed potatoes, and yellow squash are predictably good. When they have field peas with snaps, I jump for those, and slather on the Texas Pete. I never touch the desserts, but that's true for me at any restaurant.
