26 Best American Restaurants in Lagrange

“**CJDT: A Hidden Gem of Flavor and Hospitality** Today, we had the pleasure of dining at CJDT, and we were completely impressed and beyond satisfied. From the moment we stepped inside, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with friendly staff who made us feel right at home. The food? Absolutely delicious. We ordered the chili dog and cheeseburger, and both were nothing short of perfection. The chili dog was packed with rich, savory flavors, while the cheeseburger was juicy, cheesy, and cooked just right. Every bite was a delightful experience. It’s not just about the food, though—the inviting hospitality made the experience even better. If you’re looking for great food served by genuinely wonderful people, CJDT is the place to be. We’ll definitely be returning soon!“

“While we had to wait about 30 minutes for seating, it was well worth the wait. We had the crab cakes and a burger. The food was amazing and the crab cakes meal was the most well balanced meal we have had in LaGrange with the mash potatoes, squash, zucchini, and broccoli. The tastes combined was a delight to the taste buds. Casey was our waitress and took care of us very well including answering every question we had. Cannot wait to return!!“

“Everything I’ve tried from here has been delicious! Had the fish sandwich and cheese stix today and they didn’t disappoint, as always!“

“Great place!! It’s been in Lagrange for a while & if I ever drove by, would see it & want to stop, but was always on a mission! But today, I made this my first stop & I’m glad I did! They have very tasty homemade chips. Those were a nice surprise. I also got the club sandwich & beet salad & was not disappointed. Would def recommend.“

“What an amazing little town gem. I cannot recommend this place enough. I wish I was local and could have them cater events for every family function, academic event and celebration I had. I cannot recommend this southern style eatery enough. Support local and small businesses!“

“We visited on a Tuesday night without a reservation. I didn’t realize it was a smaller restaurant, so definitely get one before you go. As far as food, you won’t leave hungry; matter of fact, you’ll leave with at least one more big meal in a to go box! Plenty of food and absolutely delicious! I loved the flavor, definitely a 5 out of 5 in this regard. So many unique dishes as well. I had the skilletini and mt wife had the papagalo. I would have never imagined jalepeno would be so amazing in a pasta dish!!!! Without a doubt, we WILL be back!“

“Old cafeteria style and Oh My WORD! The food is Fantastic! athe staff is super friendly too. If you want a good country meal with tons of flavor, you have got to try Shirleys. I have eaten a lot of Mac n cheese in my life and have never had any better than this. So creamy and delicious. The fried chicken is just like I remember as a child, so crispy. Black eyed peas were seasoned to perfection. Then to Top it off, homemade banana pudding that would make your tongue want to lap your brain out, it was so good. I HIGHLY recommend!! You will not be disappointed! 😋❤️“

“The people here are really friendly. The food is good, they arent free from mistakes but theyre willing to fix their errors, just let them know. Honestly my favorite spot to go to in the area, much better than mcdonalds or arbys or wendys which are nearby. Jukebox! It gets a bit busy when theres events in town, but its good vibes here.“

“Such a great dinning experience. Friendly staff..well worth it.“

“The waitress (Savannah) was very polite && the food was delicious and perfectly prepared..“

“Our waitress was the black woman. She had to serve 4 booths with 2 people in them and 2 people in single chairs. Then she had to help make food, clean dishes, refill drinks, remake coffee. Doing all of this while the other two white female employees sat in the back talking and laughing. She couldn’t even serve us properly because they forced her to do ALL the work. They say racism is over but apparently at the Waffle House at New Franklin Road in LaGrange, Georgia, it’s ALIVE AND WELL. I saw no other reason for why they treated the lady like that and made her do all the work for the hour and 30 minutes my Aunt and I sat to eat there. PLEASE DO BETTER WAFFLE HOUSE!!

The food was great and our server was awesome despite the circumstances!!“

“The food was great the service was amazing our sever rachel was fast and did a great job handling our table which was 7 people plus 5 other tables!! cashier was friendly as well and I really enjoyed my time.“

“Had a great experience with my family. Kaira was our server and was extremely attentive and accommodating. The chicken quesadilla hit just the right spot (appreciate the recommendation), along with the loaded potato soup. The chili Iime and mango habanero wings were delicious. Make sure to get there on Tuesday's for their .75 deal in wings.“

“Service 4 out of 5, the waitress was the Only one working tables. Her service was actually really excellent even with running like crazy. She was also Darn Snazzy looking too😋

Restaurant and tables were actually Clean as was the restroom.

Food was fairly quick to arrive good“

“I had a absolutely amazing experience at the cook out in Lagrange ga I went through the drive through like I do every time and I usually get some attitude or issues but today I got the kindest sweetest woman there her name was Taydra she was so kind while I ordered and made sure I was able to get things I needed but they were out of example my husband like lemonade in his sweet tea they were out of lemonade she offered to give me several lemon juice packets for his drink when other times jt would have just been we are out sorry“

“I get it for stars because the food is usually always really good so my many thanks for the cooks doing a killer job on the food places always clean and usually for what they cook pretty fast my one and only hang up with the service or with this place at all is the fact that the young women that run the front counter are usually off in their own little world talking on their cell phones talking to each other about their boyfriends and stuff like that to really care about customer service it's what do you want okay here's your food goodbye they're not overly rude or anything they just act like they could do with or without a customer being there and it's true customer service means that you never think that way year after every single customer you can get to come to that door and you're going to make sure they get exactly what they want and how they want it if it is at all possible but here it's more like you're interrupting their day but like I said the place is still good I still go there to eat they're not overly rude or mean or you know anything like that so I kind of feel good to even say anything about them but as far as the customer service aspect of it they can use a little bit more training“

“Overly exceptional service clean environment love this place an shoutout to Tim an Jenn for their positive an great service for me and I will always come back an also recommend this longhorn to anyone in Georgia an I’m super happy just get here an eat Now!“

“I usually don’t go into Waffle House expecting much, but this visit truly exceeded my expectations! Our server—Jamie, I believe—was absolutely phenomenal. I was in a rough mood when I arrived, but her warm smile and exceptional service completely turned my day around. She brought such a positive attitude that was impossible to miss. A true bright light and a fantastic experience! Thank you, Jamie for brightening my day. 🫶“
