This place is amazing. It's definitely not your typical restaurant. It's more like walking into family. They never fail to make you feel welcome & appreciated. Okay, sometimes they are so busy, they might not have time to pull up a chair and ask how your day is going. I guarantee one thing. You won't leave hungry. Since it is family owned, times they have to close. When this happens it always posted on the FB page. Daily lunch specials ( M-T ) 11-2 gets posted. Let's talk about Friday night. Fish fry Friday. My oh my, them homemade hush puppies, homemade tater sauce . The pies, Just go try it for yourself.

So this was my first time here at the County Seat Cafe. I'll have to say.. this place is so cute and the food is amazing! The service was fast and friendly! The owners are very sweet and friendly! The dessert was to die for, I got the fried apple pie. Tonight I also had the pleasure of trying the chicken tenders with fries and chili! I definitely recommend this place! The prices are also very reasonable!

Had a catered breakfast today for Memorial Day. Eggs, sausage, and an amazing brown gravy. Hopefully they will be able to find workers for a return to serving regular breakfast. Highly recommend checking this place out on Fridays for their fried catfish and shrimp, hushpuppies, and coleslaw.
