Lunch at Aunt Bea’s

On a sunny Thursday afternoon I decided to give Aunt Bea’s a try. Knowing that it was meat and three country cooking, I was prepared for comfort food.
Upon entering this old timey establishment, I quickly realized that there is more to Aunt Bea’s than country cooking. A multi-taskers dream, there is a post office where you can check your po box, send a package, or a fax, have some clothing altered or buy an antique sewing machine.
I ordering the fried chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans, and my lunch date chose the fried flounder, red rice and coleslaw. I was half way through jotting down some slogans like “Country Cookin’ makes you Good Lookin” when our food appeared. It was easy to see why the place is packed with folks on their lunch break!
Down home country cooking! Aunt Bea has a mob of loyal lunch patrons, ready to gobble up whatever she dishes out.
As I waved good bye to the nice lady behind the post office counter, I realized the charm of this establishment is timeless an unwavering.
