Aulette
Cloverly

Simple food served in large portions at reasonable prices distinguishes this purveyor of old-fashioned southern cooking. Diners order food at a counter, and friendly servers bring it to the table. The two dining areas are clean and bright.

There are no surprises on the menu, which includes chicken (oven-baked or deep-fried), meatloaf, short ribs of beef, pigs' feet, breaded pork chops, stewed chitterlings, and fried catfish filets. Most main courses can be ordered in large or small versions, some of which are priced under $6. Two traditionally prepared vegetables accompany main courses; choices include kale, collard greens, black-eyed peas, candied sweet potatoes, and potato salad. House-made desserts are winners, including the peach cobbler and sweet-potato pie. The $13.95 Sunday lunch buffet offers most everything listed above.
