Oil Lamp Restaurant -Food CA (Near Perry)

5 /5 Deborah: 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 were 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 couldnt 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... all were absolutely delicious!!! Corn muffins were so good, we wanted to take home a dozen! I can not wait for our next road trip because we are timing it for a stop at The Oil Lamp Restaurant again, you can bet on it!!! Definitely recommended!! 5 stars across the board!

5 /5 John Fleming: 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

1 /5 Mya Kirk: I am writing to formally complain about repeated and unacceptable experiences I’ve had at your establishment. On multiple occasions, I have found hair in my food, including a particularly disturbing incident where hair was found in the roast beef. The hair appeared to belong to a chef named Victor, which raises serious concerns about hygiene and food safety standards in your kitchen. In addition to this, the staff behavior has been extremely unprofessional. Employees appeared lazy, had poor attitudes, and on more than one occasion were openly farting around food preparation areas. This is completely unacceptable and unsanitary, especially in a place that serves food to the public. I am very disappointed and concerned about the lack of cleanliness and professionalism. This situation needs to be addressed immediately to ensure customer safety and basic standards of hygiene. I expect this complaint to be taken seriously and would appreciate a response explaining what actions will be taken to correct these issues.

5 /5 billy lord: 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.

5 /5 Kenneth Davis: Good ole southern down home cooking at its best. The Oil Lamp Restaurant has been around long enough that the citizens of Perry consider this an institution, a main stay of the community. The setup is buffet style. You go through the serving line, make your selections and you pay at the end of the line. Then, find a table and get ready to enjoy a delicious meal. Plenty of parking.
