Near the courthouse square, a handful of old-school diners cater to local workers and courthouse regulars rather than interstate traffic. Breakfast is the main event: eggs any style, biscuits with sausage gravy, grits cooked properly (not from a packet), and coffee that arrives without ceremony and gets refilled without asking. Lunch runs to meat-and-two specials — a protein and two sides chosen from a short list on a chalkboard. These places open early and close well before dinner; if you need a proper southern breakfast before pushing on down I-75, this is where to find it.
