Betsy at The Dillard House. June 23, 2009.
Betsy and I got back home from northern Georgia late yesterday afternoon. We had good but warm weather, did some hiking, and saw some neat waterfalls. We also had a fabulous anniversary dinner on Tuesday evening.
I mentioned that we were going to have dinner at the Dillard House in Dillard, Georgia. The Dillard House serves their meals family style — they bring the food to your table and you help yourself to what you would like. Betsy and I were able to get a table for two by the window. The table was very nice and we thought it was very roomy — until our server brought the food. As you can see from the picture above, the table suddenly became quite crowded. And dessert had yet to come!
Everything was very good and we enjoyed our meal a great deal. It was made even better by the ‘doggie boxes’ that we were able to bring home. The meal was also made memorable by the strawberry cobbler we had for dessert.
I took this picture of the menu board as a reminder of all the dishes that we had as we celebrated our eighth anniversary. If you are ever hungry in northeastern Georgia you might consider giving the Dillard House a try. I don’t think you’ll leave hungry!

What can I say but congratulations on your anniversary. Now that is a feast and a half George. I bet your bellies were quite stretched when you finished your meals.
I find that doggie bags are such a good idea. I don’t know why it could not be incorporated also here in old Europe. But no. No such luck. You pay for it after all and I hate wasting food in a world where people starv.

Wow! What a meal. When I read earlier it was family style I had an idea but I’ve never seen it done quite like this.
I was wondering about the leftovers. So nice there were doggie bags.
Me and my hubs couldn’t eat all that.
Happy Anniversary again!
