This restaurant in Savannah, Georgia serves family style meals from big bowls at large tables the way that Grandma would. When you are seated you will probably be eating with the people you were standing next to in line waiting to be seated. Each day brings a special menu, but fresh vegetables, homemade biscuits, cornbread, sweet iced tea and classic Southern dishes are always on hand. Meatloaf is always on the menu!

2 pounds ground chuck

2 cups cornflakes, crushed

3/4/cup minced onion
