Larry Reeves I found Rutledge Cafe quite by accident from checking and studying Google Maps. It’s a simple pleasure of mine: finding out of the way places to eat on the backroads of Georgia. I noticed this place and from street view I figured it was just my kind of place. Not fancy, just a promise of good food. My buddy and I went on motorcycles the first time and I’m here to tell you we were not disappointed. We both had catfish with sides of Cole slaw, fried green tomatoes, hush puppies and French fries. There are other sides but this is what we settled on. It was a feast beyond belief. The absolute best catfish I’ve ever eaten and the sides were top notch. Their menu has other great meals including meat loaf, chicken livers and fried chicken. The portions were big and the price was very reasonable and the service was excellent. As good as all this was it came in second to the people and staff that run this cafe. They make you feel like you’ve walked in the back door at your grand mommas house just in time for dinner. They are all smiles, chatty and make you feel like they’ve know you since you were born. Please, give this place and the people who work here a try. You won’t be disappointed either and you’ll become just like me…….. a regular customer at Rutledge Cafe.
