5 Best Restaurants in Southwest Georgia, Georgia

Housed in an old bank in downtown Plains, this café offers soup, salads, burgers, and sandwiches in a cozy hometown setting. Be sure to try the creamy peanut ice cream.

In a land where barbecue reigns supreme, Country's cooks with taste and style. You can eat inside the restaurant, a converted bus terminal decorated with '50s flair, or sit at a table in the 1946 bus turned diner. The barbecue, cooked over hickory and oak, includes not only pork but also chicken, beef, turkey, ribs, and brisket; buttermilk fried chicken is also on the menu.

The fresh gulf seafood served at this longtime family-owned restaurant is as good as you can find anywhere. Try the broiled shrimp, cooked in olive oil with a smattering of fresh garlic; fresh mullet dinner; or combination platter with homemade deviled crab, shrimp, oysters, scallops, and flounder. The fried green tomatoes sprinkled with feta are cooked to perfection, and the burgers are a local favorite. Vintage music from the '40s plays on the sound system, and there's outdoor dining under umbrellas.

Housed in a historic bank building, this fun little café offers house-roasted coffee drinks, pastries, sandwiches, desserts, and other quick bites for breakfast, lunch, and dinner—or anytime in between. Grab a seat in one of the original bank vaults inside or a street-side table outside to enjoy your treat. In addition to coffee, there's also wine and beer.

Part shop and part café, this locally owned spot is a great place to grab a coffee, sandwich, or a big ol' slice of homemade red velvet cake or pecan pie. Check out the daily soup and sandwich specials for a variety of options.
