This month the Active Adult group at church went to the Shatley Springs Family Style Country Restaurant for lunch. Since we have heard such rave reviews of this old landmark, we decided to go. When we pulled into the church parking lot, and hubby saw the 10 very old people who were going, he backed out. So I went without him.
Shatley Springs is about 15 minutes away and it is a campsite with cabins clustered around a spring that was once rumored to heal people. Starting in 1890 people from near and far began to converge on the site seeking relief from varying skin diseases, stomach ailments, rheumatism and nervous disorders. The cabins built in the 1920's are still used today.
The restaurant has won "The Breakfast of Champions" award by Our State Magazine. I don't know about the breakfast, but lunch was tasty. Without a salad or soup on the menu, I chose roast beef, gravy, sweet potatoes and green beans. I didn't want fried chicken, chicken pot pie or fried country ham. You can also get your meal family style: fried chicken and fried ham along with 6 veggies, drink and dessert.
