Oil Lamp Restaurant

Car trouble on a road trip found my husband and I stopped in Perry for emergency service. A quick Google search for a well reviewed lunch spot found us The Oil Lamp Restaurant. Oh my goodness! That was 3 days ago and we're still talking about how wonderfully delighted we were to have a delicious hot lunch with the best service one can only imagine!!! Our trays were taken for us without asking to our table!! I believe because my cane indicated the need for assistance. How refreshing that the staff even took time to notice! The food was beyond exceptional. My granny couldn't have made it any better! Fresh vegetables cooked to perfection; no over cooked butter beans or squash here!! Gravy covered mashed potatoes that were out of this world along with meatloaf and beef roast, green beans... al

I had the stake very tender packed with flavor a little too salty the salad portion is so small I was told to get the fries or baked potato disappointing very clean and super friendly. I will definitely return but hold the salt. The stake covered the ENTIRE PLATE!!! Watch out Longhorn.

Nice Mom and Pop place. Generous portions. Roast, potatoes and gravy, cornbread and tea were a very satisfying meal. Big selection of desserts but I’m cutting back; they looked so good. Debbie was the kindest, most attentive waitress and I didn’t want for anything. I’ll be stopping here again.

First timers dropping in while heading home to TN. As soon as we walked in the ladies up front instantly knew we were not from there and very kindly directed us towards the buffet line. The fried chicken was crispy, the sweet tea was the perfect amount of sweetness, & the greens were seasoned with plenty of love. Great stop and will definitely be stopping back in on my next trip down.

This is the best restaurant I have been to in many years. This place has some of the best food that you ever ate. It’s like going to grandmas for Sunday dinner after church. The portions are huge and the service is like someone from your family is there try to make you feel at home. This was my first time here but definitely will
