Doug's Place

Highly recommend!! First time and the breakfast was the best I’ve had!! Everything was fresh, hot, and homemade. Service was great and staff was friendly. Great home cookin!! Will definitely be back.

A hidden gem - it’s busy and a local favorite - but any wait is worth it. Even though space is a little tight, there’s such a quaint, homey vibe about the place that takes me back to a simpler, happier time - and everyone so friendly - and they are on the ball too! They are super efficient and the food is always so good! I appreciate so much still being able to find southern meat and 2 places where you feel welcome and like you’ve come home. I recommend the fried chicken!

Currently under renovation which is reason for lower score. It will be great when completed. We had a great waitress and the home style cooking was fabulous. The owner stopped by our table to see if everything was okay. He told us about the expansion and apologized for the work being done. We will go there again. Loved the food

Good home-cooking food and very friendly staff makes a fantastic dining experience .. even ahd the opportunity to meet the owner, Mark .. will definitely be back with our adult kids

The quality of the food here exceeds the cost. Country cooking with lots of love. The server we had was phenomenal. She was knowledgeable about the menu, friendly and genuinely happy to take care of us.

The food was delicious with lots of exciting flavors. This restaurant has got it down for homemade meals.

Thank you!

I haven't been there in any years, but last night Thursday menu they serving fried chicken livers!! I luv them, a darn Yankee,
So took my two southern friends,
She had salmon patties,flavorful fried squash, ( not much flavor) & cream. corn,
He had bbq sandwich & mac & cheese
I had chicken livers, broccoli, ( no cheese) great meal, the livers were tender! cooked great., broccoli was not over cooked,
I would recommend Doug’s place if u like country cooking.
Let me note, when we got seated busboy was wiping down table, but didn’t move the napkins holder and things on table, so I suggested he do that, he did. There was no crumbs under the napkin holder that’s a plus too in my review,

What a great meal we had at Doug's Place on Saturday!!! They were so accommodating and really helped us order just the right sides. Their fried okra is the only place I have ever been that really does taste like my mommas!!! Doug's Place is totally worth the drive!!!

First time coming here! My family and I had a great dinner. My wife ordered the beef tips with rice, green beans and sweet potato. She said it was amazing but didn't care for the oats that were on top of the sweet potato. My daughter had the fried shrimp with cole slaw and creamed corn. She said everything was perfect. My son had a cheeseburger with fries and he said it was very juicy. I had the all you can eat cat fish with roasted potatoes and Mac n cheese. The cat fish was amazing along with my sides. I have nothing to complain about! Their biscuits and hush puppies and tartar sauce are so dang good we ordered a few more to go!!
I know every one has their own opinions on food, but let me tell you something! The amount of folks coming in and out of this place was unbelievable!! Seeing the owner working the tables and bringing food out showed us how much he appreciates all his customers and made sure everyone was happy with their meals!! I will be coming back for more, thank you for serving my family tonight!

P.S. Don't leave without having their banana pudding!!!!!!

Well restaurant owned by family unfortunately Doug has passed as a matter of fact the local bridge was renamed in his honor. The restaurant has been sold the new owners promise to keep the charm and the menu the same. But they're going to do a major remodel of the entire place and fix the parking lot.
So if you want to down home Southern meat and three or breakfast with country ham biscuits and gravy this is your place. Lunch is printed on a paper and passed around because it changes every day they do always have chicken livers which are always good. Also one thing unique about it the servers take your order on a Post-It note and then you take the post-it note to the register when you're ready to go of course they also give her the cook so by the time you get us out of the grease on it. You can see it in the pictures.
Service is friendly if you've been there a couple times I know you that will come up hey how you doing give you a hug most the people that walked in that kind of do what their order was right away a regular down home country feel.
Today I had breakfast eggs hash browns biscuits and gravy with two friends with me both have meatloaf with sides. Everything was wonderful.
So come on down and see the place quickly before they remodel it. Then come again after remodel to see who that looks the food will probably be the same excellent down home meat and three or two LOL

I’ve been to this place since I found out I was pregnant 3/6/2022. I was craving Southern food and found this place. When I say WONDERFUL AND ON POINT! My husband doesn’t eat rice. He wanted Beef Tips over Cornbread and that’s what they did. Thank you all. They are all about making Customers Happy

What an AMAZING PLACE!!! We stopped in on our drive from Iowa to Florida. The owner sat with us for a few minutes and told us the story about Doug’s Place! What a NICE GUY!!! Food was to die for!!! A must stop if you are ever in the Emerson, GA area!!!

Flew into Cartersville airport and was looking for some good local grub. This place was recommended by the Phoenix Air FBO peeps. I was so happy when I walked in, my kind of place. Rustic and down to earth local establishment. Everyone working there had a smoky on their faces and I felt very welcomed there. Does look like the kind of place where everyone knows each other there.

I love me some fried chicken...and chicken livers...and meatloaf! They had all three in the menu, so I got all three on my plate. It looked like too much to eat at first, but everything was so delicious, I was able to kill it no problem. Very satisfying. My coworker had the chicken and really enjoyed his meal as well.

They also have some homemade jams and butters. So of course, I bought a few.

Come out and support your local businesses. This place is a must if you’re in the local area!

Food was excellent! Really good diner to go to for after Sunday lunch or anytime. Service was wonderful and everybody seemed happy to be at work. We will be returning again!

We had our company picnic catered by Doug’s Place at Red Top Mountain. The BBQ, Chicken tenders, baked beans, Cole slaw was outstanding. Everyone love the food and totally enjoyed the delicious food. The banana pudding was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. We can totally recommend Doug’s to anyone looking for great bbq.

Words cannot express the joy of seeing a restuarant that I took my children to some 20 years ago, still intact ,thriving and serving this feeling up with such love!
Continued blessings to
Mark Sullins and the Doug's Place family.

Amazing thanksgiving dinner! The atmosphere is awesome.

As a native Georgian, this is true southern fare! Delicious food, good portions, good prices. The ambiance reminds me of my local restaurant back home. We will be back to Doug’s Place whenever we are in the area!

Typical Southern style breakfast. Friendly people. To die for homemade cinnamon rolls during weekend breakfast. Interesting fact - the waitress writes your order on a post it note, and that's what you take to the cashier to pay. Will be back.

This place is really good. I'd say it's a hidden gem but seems like everyone in the area knows about it and is there. It was pretty damn good. I recommend it for a great southern style breakfast!

Yummy, fast, friendly 😋
