I went there a few years ago after my son's tennis tournament. Absolutely fell in love with EVERYTHING about it. Added it to my list of where to take out of town guests when they visit. Went last night to celebrate my wife's b-d. There was a chalkboard outside saying they were fully booked for that night and the next. We had reservations, but there were PLENTY of open tables available. Reservation for 7, got our entrees of mediocre (at best) food at 8. It was sooo disappointing....

We visited Daphne Lodge on 2/21/25 approximately 7:15-9:15 p.m. Our waitress Jenna (not sure if I spelled her name right), was wonderful!! There were 12 at our table. Three of us were on our ticket. We each had the $24 catfish meal, two waters and one coke. We paid $102 which included the 20% tip they added to the receipt. The catfish was fried and seasoned perfect to my taste.

Wow. I've lived for decades in Miami and Atlanta, and this little inconspicuous place on 280 between Cordele and Americus is one of the most unique dining experiences I've ever had. It was almost like when you ask your great aunt if she's got any liquor around, and she breaks out a bottle of MacCallan 25 like it's no big deal: nonchalantly premium in a comfortable place.

The food was top notch period. I haven't seen a cut of meat that...
