An excellent selection of meat, vegetables and desserts. The chicken is fried perfectly, The other meats are cooked to perfection with a good balance of seasoning. This was once a little corner restaurant that grew into this building. And desserts - glory, glory - I could get into trouble with the great selection that they make on site every day.... More

We had a late lunch here, midweek, and thought the food was very good and fresh considering the time of day. The staff went out of their way to be helpful. For example, they brought butter from the kitchen upon request as margarine is served with the bread. Food could have been hotter but everything was delicious. I had fried... More

Great food! Friendly service with a smile! Nice clean atmosphere! John Deere decor! A real taste of southern hospitality! Our noon lunch "cafeteria style" was fast and pleasant! A real breath of "fresh air"!

I was in Perry, Georgia for the first time attending a seminar. I spotted the Oil Lamp Restaurant with lots of cars in the parking lot and thought that is the place to go. Sure enough, I got inside and it was very clean and inviting. I got all mixed up because I thought you took a seat and ordered... More

We normally stop in Cordele on the way to NC but chose Perry (30 min. north) this trip. Oil Lamp was very good food, period. Keep in mind, this is classic Dixie comfort food. Tastes great but not less filling. It's also high in fat and salt, esp. if you watch your salt like we do. I felt it the... More

The Oil Lamp never fails. No matter the time or day, the Oil Lamp always produces the most delicious tasting food. I didn't think I ever loved lima beans until the day I tryed them at the Oil Lamp. Everything on their menu is the best thing that they make. You really can't make a mistake when ordering. Everything is... More

The food here is good southern cooking - you will love it. They serve the food cafeteria style, after you go through the line and get your food, you pay right then. They have someone that refills your drinks.

Great food but the peanut butter pie is the best dessert in the world. The ham is my favorite entree but the roast beef and chicken are good too. The zipper peas are my favorite veggie.
