This is a very popular restaurant, so you might want to avoid the peak times, like 12:00 noon to 1:00 and 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. They have great fried chicken, fish, mashed potatoes, gravy, turnip greens, omelettes, etc. It's also fun to look around their gift shop.

This is a fun, but usually crowded store, on Saturdays and Sundays. You can find some great bargains, especially in the furniture department. Also, they have a little of this and a little of that, of everything. However, you have to buy it when you see it because they will, most likely, not have it again. The sales people there are friendly and helpful.
