Family style shareable breakfasts and lunches/dinners, can be custom built at Patty's Liberty Road General Store & Deli. Extra plates are available on request. The centerpiece a juicy 10 oz Ribeye, later split three ways, and a family plate of just picked Adair County-grown tomatoes and chipped Jalapeno. Patty's buttery grits are served in generous bowls, and these went three ways. Her unique has browns were ample for three. A finicky egg eater insisted on scrambled eggs. Patty's Coffee is just plain good-as-is-brewed, everyone of the three who shared the breakfast ordered coffee and ice water. A meat platter and second order of eggs-over-easy with more biscuits filled out the breakfast. we'll order the restaurant's Country Ham Breakfast Feast. Besides being really tasty, the costs is embarrassingly low. Everything, including a reasonable tip - but maybe short for the impeccable service (we went during a mid-morning lull, the best time for an unhurried brunch) - around $25. Hard to do that, anywhere, even at home. - EW. Liberty Road General Store & Deli is a regular advertiser in CM What's Cooking Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
