There are so many good places to eat here in Valdosta. But the one that's been around the longest is King's Grill. It's been on the same downtown street corner since the late 1930's. (...) "We do usually three meats and six or seven fresh vegetables," says Owner Pat Yeomans. Vegetables you can't get at a drive through. "Fast food is good, but they get tired of that sometime, and they're ready to eat," says Yeomans. "Now you got it." (...) That's what makes King's Grill like home away from home. "We been here so long and the customers have been coming here so long that they're just like part of the family."(...) Albert Smith remembers: "The first time was in about 1945 when Mr. King had King's Grill when I was in 1st grade."
A wonderful piece of Valdosta's heritage. May they continue to stay in business for a long, long time. Hey, why not eat there tonight instead of running to McDonald's or Taco Bell?
