My wife and I had our 1968 wedding reception here, and had lunch there in Nov. 2021. Not much has changed.

Best fried chicken in the entire country without question. The owner came by our table to check on us, he is a very nice gentleman.
This restaurant is awesome! Do not miss an opportunity to eat here if you are in town. This place is worth your money and time. 10/10, can’t say enough good things about Lynn Garden Restaurant.

Hands down THE BEST fried chicken I’ve had in my life. I ate here for the first time today and I will be coming back as soon as possible. Our waitress was attentive and made sure our table was well taken care of. Y’all are doing great and keep up the good work!

My husband and I went there for a late lunch a few days ago. When we walked in there was no staff and no customers anywhere and several tables that hadn't been cleared off yet. We picked a table at the back and waited. The waitress came out a couple of minutes later. She was VERY slow. Our table needed wiping off and she told us we could move to the next table if we wanted but we said we were fine. She said 'Well I guess I'll have to wipe it off then'. Wow. We ordered, they didn't have anything for a salad and no onion rings. We each got a sandwich and tea. The cook brought out the food and cleared

One of the best restaurants anywhere. I love the atmosphere, the food, and the novelty. Lynn Garden Restaurant is a local treasure. My parent's even went on a date there back in the day!

The fried chicken is GREAT!!! I ordered the 5 wing dinner. It includes not only the 5 drumetts but the 5 winglets too, so that makes a normal order of 10 wing pieces. Good Eats.
