Food was amazing. Lunch room style- seat yourself service. Atmosphere is relaxed and the food was great for a good price. Portions were perfect for me and the dessert was so good without being too sweet. Will be going back soon!
Ok. Deep breath. I feel as though this won’t be a popular review for the locals. But it’s the truth.
I travel all over Georgia for my job. I always look forward to trying new and locally owned places to dine. So when I came across Adrian’s Place online with 4.7 stars Google review I was excited.
I pulled into the gravel parking lot. And witnessed DOZENS of patrons making their way in and out of the building for lunch. So I thought I hit the jack pot for sure.
The atmosphere:
It’s a really old and dingy building. It seemed clean enough but everything was coated with a layer of residual grease and smoke like a lot of restaurants that haven’t seen a deep cleaning in a long time. One of the employees mentioned they are moving across the street soon into a nicer building.
The food:
Nice selection of sides (entrees change daily except they always have fried chicken available)
For $15 you get a meat, 3 sides, a biscuit or a roll, margarine, and a piece of chocolate cake. I chose beef tips, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans, and. Black eyed peas. A roll. Declined the cake.
They use canned green beans. They use canned black-eyed peas. (and I suppose I can understand this, it’s common to serve these two items canned… I was just really surprised at the lack of seasoning. They went straight from a can onto the Buffet style serving tray with no salt, no pepper, no fat back, no ham, nothing)
They use instant or powdered mashed potatoes. And when a soul food “home cooking” establishment can’t produce their own mashed potatoes I get very worried. Homemade whipped potatoes should be a tenet at a spot like this!
They use frozen pre-prepared beef tips with onions. And again – sadly – little to no seasoning.
I honestly don’t have a clue why people go there. Just stop by Ingles spend $7 instead of $15 and you’re equally satisfied (or not).
Essentially, I was fed inexpensive and very bland hospital food. Highly disappointing.
The employees:
The ONLY good spot was my experience with the numerous employees. Every single one of them had a smile on their face, a welcoming, friendly demeanor, and they made me feel right at home. Now if they could just get back to the “soul” in their soul food!!!!
There are numerous homemade lunch spots in Madison Georgia. So maybe as an outsider, I’m unaware that ALL of them basically serve the same sort of canned and frozen dishes… and that’s simply acceptable here.
I’ll be trying out some of their competitors next week and I will keep you posted.
It was several years ago that I was there. I was with my sister who had , had a stroke and my elderly dad. While I tried to manage my tray and my dads, my sister struggled with hers. One of the line servers noticed our situation and came from behind the counter to help. The food was amazing. The customer service was great and very much appreciated. We will stop by anytime we are in the area. Again thank you for helping.
It would be impossible to give any less than 5 stars! The service is so good, immediate refill, it was almost as if they had been waiting for it to get low! This food. Absolutely amazing, I usually don't like soul food but I finished my plate and cleaned up my crumbs! It's a small, homey like atomosphere. Prices are worth it. Definitely coming again!
Very happy with the meal at Adrian's place. Our first trip. Seems to be a local favorite and I can see why. Reminds me of my mom's cooking when I was young in Columbus Georgia. Highly recommended. Even all of the local law enforcement was there. Has to be a high recommendation.
Great food and service!
Very good food extremely nice staff and the food is great! I highly recommend!
Wow very good experience, we had the catfish, hush puppies,vegetables and the peach cobbler and everything was excellent. Very tasty. Enjoyed it very much. Will come back soon
