Farmers Market Restaurant
Location
Although Gypsy Gilliam and her son Tony have added some modern features to this historic gathering place, the key to the good eating at the Farmers Market Restaurant is still the incredible source of fresh vegetables from the state Farmers Market, where food growers from all over the region bring their best produce. But there’s more to it. These folks also know how to cook it right. Squash, greens, collards, beans, corn. And don’t forget the biscuits or corn bread, iced tea, and friendly service.
Hrs: Mon.-Sat., 6 a.m.-3 p.m.; Sun., 8 a.m.-3 p.m.
