Peace-N-Hominy is one of those perfect, down home, hole-in-the-wall gems that you just have to love! From the whimsical butcher paper menu & paper straws to the homey decor & insanely sweet staff, it just feels comfortable and delightful.
I've tried quite a few things at Peace-N-Hominy and have been there for lunch and dinner (breakfast/brunch is on my must do list though!) The BBQ's great, burgers are traditional pharmacy-style treats, and hushpuppies & fries are perfection! And there's Cheerwine (in a glass bottle AND fountain--SWOON!) My only letdown was the mac & cheese. The mac & cheese is unlike any I've had before with semi-cheesy, warm noodles in a cup with cold, shredded cheese tossed on top. It looked intriguing but was bland and, once the cold cheese was mixed in, rather cold & unusual! Just wasn't for me!
My only reason for a 4 star rating as opposed to 5 is simply consistency. I've had meals before that were positively perfect & wonderful and then I've had some where my burger was charred & the food just wasn't great! I think part of it was likely just timing. When I've been and it's less crowded, the food has been best! When it's been insanely busy (like Sundays after church), the food has come up a little lacking. With such a small restaurant, it could simply be a matter of being overwhelmed when it's crazy busy. The good experiences definitely outweigh the bad though and I'll definitely be back but hope to see more consistency in the quality going forward!
