“This is by Far the best Soul Food I have EVER put in my mouth. I was very discouraged by other places we tried then Me and my bestie googles soul food restaurants and here we are.“

“Sure! Here’s a polished and more engaging version of your review:

Absolutely fantastic spot!
The food was incredible—especially the fish, which was perfectly fried to golden, crispy perfection. The rice, surprisingly, ended up being one of the standout highlights of the meal. And the price? Unbeatable. It’s a refreshing change from the sometimes outrageous restaurant bills you find elsewhere. A perfect hidden gem worth every penny.“

“We drove from Atlanta to Augusta for today’s event. It was amazing. Such delicious food and great people working. My husband and I had a great time. Well worth the 2.5 hour drive. This was for real a wonderful way to spend our day. Thank you so much. We will be attending more. Judy VonderSmith“

“To say the Sweet Shop is an iconic legend in Mt P is an understatement!! You won't find better food anywhere at any price for what's on his menu. As restaurants come and go I can't think of any other that's still in business after 30+ years.“

“Delicious food, large portions and more than reasonable prices with excellent customer service!! The Seafood Platter is Delicious!!“

“I'm still pinching myself after dining at Grandma's Kitchen! This soul food haven is a game-changer, and I'm not just saying that because the food is out of this world (although it totally is). The real magic happens when you step inside and are enveloped by the warmth and love of the three grandmas running the show. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family. The grandmas greeted us with big hugs and smiles, and it felt like we were sitting down to Sunday dinner at our own grandma's house. The service was top-notch - attentive, friendly, and with just the right amount of sass. But let's get to the food - oh. my. goodness. The fried chicken was crispy perfection, the mac and cheese was creamy heaven, and the collard greens were so tender they just melted in my mouth. And don't even get me started on the cornbread... it was like a taste explosion in every bite. What truly sets Grandma's Kitchen apart, though, is the love and care that goes into every dish. You can taste the difference when food is made with heart, and these grandmas clearly pour their hearts and souls into every meal. If you're looking for a dining experience that'll make you feel like you're sitting on the porch with your favorite grandma, look no further than Grandma's Kitchen. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!“

“Nice lunch with family, everything tasted great! The staff is so kind, truly a family atmosphere. Will visit again when in town. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
