Kevin D. • January 1, 2023The green tomatoes are phenomenal! Everything was so tasty! Make sure to get the sweet potato pie!

Amanda J. • April 13, 2015Loved the beet salad, loved the short rib mac n cheese, loved the shrimp n grits. That's all I've tried so far.

Staff Picks • February 18, 2016Grits are a trending taste this week and you can get some damn good ones at Wishbone. You really want their classic shrimp and grifts. If you're not a fan of seafood, the cheesy grits are great, too.

Joe S. • January 10, 2010Fried green tomato benedict is awesome (weekend brunch only)! I get it with ham. Love the hollandaise!

Andersonville Chamber Of Commerce • November 30, 2012Their family-style fried chicken lunch is guaranteed to put you (and the rest of your party) into a blissful, food-induced coma. It's a great deal for 3 meals' worth of food!

Nadia Y. • November 7, 2011The food is great. Love the ice cream! The servers aren't so friendly though.
