Come to Jestine's for classic southern comfort food. This restaurant has been featured on Rachel Ray's $40 A Day show, and not surprisingly, the food is excellent, with large portions but small prices. Entrees range from about 8-15 dollars, and each patron starts their meal with a bowl of complimentary cucumber pickles. Must-try dishes include the fried chicken, corn fritters, shrimp and grits, okra, fried green tomatoes, and the cornbread, which comes with pads of butter drizzled with honey. They don't take reservations, so during busy times a line forms outside the restaurant. However, the wait is worth it.
