3 Best Restaurants in Southwest Georgia, Georgia

Bulloch House Restaurant

$

This longtime local favorite is the place to go for down-home Southern cooking in the area. The restaurant serves meals buffet style, with such Southern classics as buttermilk biscuits, golden fried chicken, and baked ham. Call ahead to get the specifics, as the dishes change daily, and be sure to save room for dessert. It's no longer located in the historic Bulloch House, but the restaurant continues to be a popular stop for tour groups, and there's a gift shop on-site.

Jonah's Fish & Grits

$$

Locals line up for a table at this extremely popular locally owned eatery where seafood is the specialty, of course. Jonah's signature rich and creamy white cheddar grits, Parmesan-crusted rainbow trout, and deep-fried catfish with hush puppies are customer favorites. There are plenty of options for landlubbers, and a kids' menu, too. Wash it all down with a glass of sweet tea---wine or beer is not on the menu. The service is prompt and welcoming to all.
