I didn't get the breakfast which is served all day, I ordered off the Wednesday lunch special menu. I love liver and onions but they had lots of other choices too like pork chops, fried chicken and other southern faves.The flavor of my liver was delicious! The liver itself was on the thin side but the flavor made up for less thickness. The yams were on point, not overlay sweet and the same goes for the cornbread! I'm not sure how the cornbread was made but I know it's not jiffy, Shirley's recipe is much better. I'm use to my mom's collards so though they were ok they weren't special.The service was great, I determine service base on my server asking if I need anything and they were on point. I had coffee and was asked at least twice if I needed a refill.I was in Lake City for an appointment, arrived early since I've never been to the area and decided to try lunch. I asked the receptionist for a recommendation and Shirley's was the first name out of her mouth. The restaurant was full of locals too, that's the real sign.

Stopped in LC on the way to an RV rally in Madison for annual service on the motor home. Asked the service advisors at Tom Nehl and Shirley's got unanimous recommendations. Gave them a call to see if they were dog- friendly, and the affirmative answer sealed the deal. We're told to just have a seat at any table (outside of course, cuz of the pooch) and our server arrived to get my coffee order. Coffee delivered and placed our brekkie orders of oatmeal for Mama and eggs, bacon and biscuits & gravy for me. Well, I now have a new gold standard for B&G. May be the best I've ever had, at least the best in a long time. Eggs, oatmeal and bacon were alright, but the gravy puts this meal in a class of its own. Thick and hearty with big pieces of a slightly spicy sausage, it'll have me coming back any time we're in LC, which will be no less than once a year for service and maybe more just for the gravy at Shirley's. I will add that there is a 3+ % surcharge for card payments vs. cash, just as a side note. Not gonna keep me from returning, though.

This was my favorite place for breakfast. The last five visits have shown a steady decline. Taking longer and longer to get food, coffee runs dry and must to ask for refills. Example, this morning Went to Shirley's this morning while waiting for my prescriptions. I know why the service was so slow, they were waiting for my food to get ice cold before they could serve it. Never going back! I forgot to mention the 4 1/2% additional charge for debit card usage.

Amazing food- like sitting down in grandmas table for Sunday dinner. Home style cooking. They serve breakfast all day and always have a fresh selection of pie slices.

Since I moved to LC wanted to experience the food at this location, since they claim that it's home cooked, Southern food.Well today was the day and it was a big disappointment. The food horrible, extremely small side portions. Not coming back!!!!

A very good choice. We were passing through town from Miami to Texas. We looked at our options in the area and decided this was a good choice in southern cooking. It is easy to locate being only a few blocks from center of town. I selected liver and onions along with mash potatoes. My partner had fried chicken and mac/cheese and beets. Each meal came with a roll or cornbread. The entrees were very tasty. Liver was tender and gravy very tasty. Chicken was very good. Mac and cornbread were a little dry.We topped our meals with a slice of coconut merengue pie. It was great. Very coconutty and excellent. I would recommend this place if you are looking for something different. Staff was great and very attentive.

Decent breakfast if you order one egg over medium and it comes out raw. The corned beef hash was burnt. The toast so cold the butter didn't even melt. Come on guys get it together.

Saw this place.online & the food sounded great so we went for dinner. The service was great and we loved the local flavor of the place. The fried pork chops were juicy & delicious, the collard greens were good but needed more flavor. The mashed potatoes & gravy was good but the coen bread was a bit hard. The wings & fries were also good. We recommend that you give Shirley's a try!
