Cottage Restaurant

I stopped in for breakfast at their new location. It was around 7:30 am on a Tuesday. I was the only customer so I got great service. I just ordered eggs, sausage, grits & biscuit. Eggs & sausage were fine. Grits had not been stirred in a while. I scooped out 2 hard lumps that I could cut with a knife. It was a tiny bowl so after I removed the lumps, I didn’t have many grits remaining. One large delicious biscuit. I’d prefer 2 smaller biscuits in case I want sausage on one & jelly on the other or gravy on one. The price was great. My meal INCLUDING coffee was $ 7. Coffee at ihop or Cracker Barrel is almost $ 2. Breakfast was average but inexpensive. I’m looking forward to trying their lunch vegetables.

Ah, The Cottage Restaurant… Ah, The Cottage Restaurant. So, you moved a mile East on Summer. Good move — I don’t think the crooks will try to steal your HVAC copper from the new location. But, what about the food.
The last time I ate at the old location, I was disappointed as was my associate. The food had little seasoning, just didn’t taste fresh. Hopefully, this time, in a new location, a start?
Well, it was better, most of it. Had the meat loaf with Italian sauce, turnip greens, northern beans and cornbread. The only ‘blah’ item was unfortunately the main item, the meatloaf. Very uniform. Too uniform, cut into thin slices, I didn’t taste any onions or peppers, had me wondering if it was really homemade. I guess it was, but, just about any homemade meatloaf we make ourselves is much better. The veggies, however, were really good, rightly seasoned, and the cornbread was good. The menu is pretty limited, there was a sparse crowd at lunch.
I think the regulars keep them in business.
Hopefully, they’ll make it at their new location.

We have gone to The Cottage before, but not since they moved down the street to the new location. Well, the food is still good because it tastes fresh made. I had the Chicken & Dressing which was almost as good as my Yams and Turnip Greens. All that to say, the food is still good.
If you haven’t tried them in the new location, swing by. You won’t go away hungry!
