“ We drove 2 hours to try this restaurant and we're so glad we did! Our clean plates say a lot! Delicious home cooking! Best chicken fingers I've had in decades. Pecan pudding to die for. All fresh and made like Mamaw used to! ”
“ This has become my favorite restaurant. The food is great. We have come here two years in a row for our anniversary. It's a whole state away, but this is where I wanted to go again for our anniversary. So my husband took me again this year. I wish they would build one in Americus GA. We need something nice so that we don't have to travel so far when we go out. ”
“ Had a wonderful lunch here the other day after a long while on the road. ”

“ The simple pleasures in life are sometimes the best. The Sawmeal Restaurant is one of these. Every visit is like going back in time to simpler days. I have never got anything but the buffet but I’ve always enjoyed. The salad bar is especially good with lots of options. We drive 35 miles to eat here and it’s worth it ”
