Employees & owner always go out of their way to make sure you are fully satisfied and taken care of. They make you feel welcome and are always friendly. Good Southern Food cooked with allot of love ! The atmosphere gives the welcome of meeting an ole' friend & catching up, to lunch with the whole bowling team, to bringing a good golf buddy after the last holes done, bring the whole family out for lunch, or time with that special someone for brunch, on the run take it to go. You can fix your own off the buffet or call for a to go order & they will fix it for you if your in a big rush.

Don't get me wrong, the food is decent enough. If you're old and don't like seasoning, this place is perfectly fine and reasonably priced.
Veggies (I had the green beans and the corn) were bland. Canned and boiled in unsalted water is my assessment. The potato salad was actually pretty good.
The fried chicken wasn't terrible... A little dry, but probably because it was towards the last hour of the lunch rush. But again, pretty bland.
The catfish was standard-issue cafeteria-style catfish. Nothing terribly special, but not bad.
Service was great, friendly folks, and lots of seating even though they were pretty busy.
To be fair, I'm comparing the food to what I've had in Athens (Food for the Soul) and Watkinsville (Rachel's,). If your choices are limited and you live in Ila, Ila Restaurant is probably perfectly fine. But I wouldn't recommend the 20-30 minute drive from Athens over the other options.

My wife and I stopped in this restaurant just minutes before they closed for the day and they allowed us to enjoy the food. We were traveling back to Florida from North Carolina that day and we wanted to bypass Atlanta’s screwed up traffic issues. Ila is a little town but Jackie, the restaurant owner, was very friendly and gracious.

They didn’t have wheelchair accommodations or handicap assistance bars in the bathroom for men, unfortunately.

If you're looking for a good country, cooking, friendly Hometown people, and a casual buffet environment, great place to stop.
