Staying nearby, we went often to this charming restaurant. The owners and service were great, the food unique and delicious, and the look of the place was warm and inviting. You can tell that the owners really care about their customers and their experience.

There is nothing more satisfying than randomly stumbling across a gem of a restaurant. That is what we found tonight in the Lake Marian restaurant. We were driving back north from South Florida, and when we started discussing dinner, I stated I was in the mood for good home-cooked fried chicken and biscuits. My wife began searching and found this restaurant, so we detoured in to check it out. It was a quaint little place, which has apparently opened under new management after being closed for 15 years. The menu was filled with good southern home cooking favorites (liver, chicken gizzards, pork chops, etc) and the sides you would expect. Our meals were delicious and sizable. The fried chicken was excellent, as were the mashed potatoes and green beans. The absolute star for me, however, were truly exceptional biscuits! The owner served as our waitress for the evening, and we greatly enjoyed her hospitality and conversation, as well as a playlist which had us humming along all night. The western-themed decor is neat, and the restaurant was absolutely spotless (an added bonus when we find an establishment that can boast that). This felt more like a family meal than an evening out, and though a good drive from where we live, will be a “must” whenever we pass nearby. Highly recommend a stop for a great home-cooking experience!

This has been open 4 months under new ownership. The staff was very nice and the service was great! The country fried steak was very tender and the gravy, mashed potatoes and green beans were good. I will visit again the next time I am in the area
