Aunt Effie's Restaurant

My family and I went to Aunt Effie’s for a late lunch on a weekday while on a road trip. We love stopping at local places whenever we have the time to especially in new places and on road trips. The restaurant has a chill vibe and serves southern food. Our service was really nice and helpful. We ordered the Grilled Chicken Breast Filet with Turnip Greens and the tomato and cucumber salad, Chicken and Dumplings with Fried Green Tomatoes and a Side Salad, and the Country Fried Chicken Fingers with fries and a Side Salad. Our food was so hot and freshly made when we got it! The chicken fingers were so soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside! If I go back I’d definitely get them again since I love a chicken finger/tender moment. The chicken and dumplings tasted just like chicken pot pie

We were passing through Ringgold and had to stop here to eat. I'll be honest, I only chose it because Effie was my Grandmas name. She was my Mamas mother and so kind and sweet. I wanted to surprise my Mama and bring her here. We loved the food, the service and my Mama said "that Effie can cook." Lol! My husband got a large burger, my Mama got beef liver and onions and I got tur turkey melt with tator tots. Everything was delicious!! We will definitely eat here again when we visit Ringgold. We loved this town and everyone was so friendly here.

2nd time trying this place. The chicken casserole was fire, but be aware they're skimpy with the crumbs on top.. Catfish filets are huge** & tasty, but tastes & looks more like cod, also has a very thick, hard crust. Mashed potatoes & gravy are amazing. Tea is also made right. The fried potatoes with onions were cold, however. Fried chicken was good. Beans, greens, & mac n cheese are not bad. One of our butter packs were served to us opened & unusable. Cornbread was great.

We had lunch at the old location by the interstate several years ago and the food was quite good. A tornado demolished that location and the restaurant reopened in it's present location on main street. We finally got to have lunch there and it was very good! It has a much larger dining area with 2 rooms instead of 1. We arrived around 2pm and they were still fairly busy! I had a small cheeseburger and my wife had a Philly sandwich both of which were very good. We will return some evening for their dinner special!

Nothing quite like a meat and three for comfort food while travelling. I'd read review that recommended the fried pork tenderloin and the review was absolutely accurate... SCRUMPTIOUS!! The sweet potato casserole and the corn fritters were also off the chart tasty. Like most good meat and three restaurants, it's not a fancy place, but there's a little more satisfying than a good selection of mix and match meat and vegetable choices. And it's a nice stop to get off the highway for a moment. We will probably stop by again when we're traveling to Atlanta again.
