“The best meal I've had anywhere! Easily even better than the fine dining places I've been to Atlanta. The pork chop is perfection; the desserts are divine. You can smell the good time you're in for before you get through the door. Steaks so tender they fall right off the bone. Come hungry, and bring someone you love. This place is truly a spiritual experience.“

“First time here....had appetizer fried green tomatoes and crab cake, 2 waters, ribeye with Mac n cheese and brussel sprouts and double bone in pork chop with Mac n cheese, strawberry cheesecake. Food was very good! Cheesecake is phenomenal but should be expected because dessert at some of the other local fine dining spots that have the same owner, are also phenomenal! I'm very picky about mac n cheese but this was very good, appropriately cheesy and seasoned well. Pork chop and the sauce was delicious! My husband loved his crab cake and grits appetizer. Our friends really liked their buffalo chicken dip appetizer! The place had a line as soon as they opened at 5pm on Saturday and filled up quick!! Waiter was so nice and made sure everything was just how we wanted it, I wish I remembered his name! Definitely will go back!!“

“Food is okay. Squash is always good. However, the other vegetables aren’t as good. Cabbage taste gross & the noodles from the Mac & cheese is always over cooked. Idk if it sits on the line too long or what but if they can make those small changes i would literally eat here everyday.“

“I love Minnie’s. The food is so good that I would eat here no matter what. However, this place is run by some of the nicest people in town. I ordered a pan of cornbread dressing to bring to our work thanksgiving potluck. I picked it up frozen the day before and after 20 hrs in the fridge and an hour in the oven, it was time to leave the house and my dressing was still not ready. I called Minnie’s in a panic to ask if they had another hot one I could pick up right then, and they did. Even though it was not their fault, they were incredibly accommodating and refused to let me pay for the second pan. They were so kind and absolutely saved the day. And most importantly, the dressing was piping hot and absolutely delicious. Thank you, Minnie’s. ?“

I will definitely be utilizing this company again as well as giving recommendations for their services to others!!Vegetarian options: There were several dishes that satisfied the vegetarian palate-all of it prepared tastefully and presented beautifully.Kid-friendliness: All of the dishes as well as the decor were acceptable for any aged child. Staff were attentive and patient with everyone present.Parking: Parking was appropriate for the size of the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: As none was needed by our party I’d say it is hard to rate, but accessibility to enter the space was appropriate.“

“Excellent service on the evening shift. We had our own order wrong and the young man working there went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Usually, you don’t get good services in restaurants that close to closing time. Not the case with Shane’s, though. Excellent to the last minute. It is greatly appreciated!“

The staff has that friendly southern flair.The owner Sandra (I believe that’s her name) was friendly and made sure our visit went well.We don’t mind taking the drive from Atlanta to Columbus for the best soul food ever.The baked chicken and ribs were very tasty. The peach Cobbler is so good, get it to go if you are full after your meal so you don’t miss out!Parking: There is plenty of spacious parking so no worries there.“
