Use to love eating here food and service was amazing. The last 2 call in orders was terrible! The order was taken back today the fish was undercooked, I am so glad I noticed it before my kids ate ! Also with the last 2 orders I have had items missing ! Service has really went down ! Prices have drastically gone up! Two plates was 32 dollars with no drinks. Honestly I have seen better food from food trucks !

I honestly can't believe I've never left a review for Galen's. I guess it's just because it's been a fixture in my family's dining rotation for so long the thought never occurred to me.

Sadly, we actually hadn't been to Galen's in a very long time -- not sure why, probably some combination of pandemic + busy, but I'm happy to say I remedied that situation with my mom yesterday on our weekly lunch together! And it was every bit as good -- perhaps better -- as I remember it being.

The interior is kinda cute kitschy southern / fish shack chic. It's a medium size restaurant that provides table service, though you take your ticket to the register to pay.

Service is generally efficient and friendly. This time, I thought our waitress was particularly good. I think her name was Kristen, but I'm not sure.

This restaurant is no frills, country cooking. It's popular with the locals and usually does a good business at least for breakfast and lunch, which is when we tend to visit. They have traditional breakfasts, plate lunches, and barbeque. Never had the bbq but they have a smoker out back that's usually pumping out good smells. I'm always just too drawn in by the plate lunches. They have different specials each day of the week. You can opt for one of your sides to be replaced with the dessert of the day, which is always nice.

My family and I have tried a lot of the food here and I honestly don't think we've had a bad meal. Our go-tos are the vegetable plate, chicken and dressing when they have it, and the chicken tender dinner. Chicken and dumplings are good too. For sides, we like their broccoli (lots of butter and garlic), their vegetable medley (which sounds like it wouldn't be that exciting but is actually exceptional), coleslaw (you've got your choice of mayo or vinegar based -- my mom LOVES their mayo based with poppyseeds like her mom used to make :D), and what gets my vote for best fried okra in town. Don't forget to ask for ranch for dipping if you get chicken tenders or fries; it's homemade and super creamy. Their dessert of the day is usually some kind of cobbler. I like the chocolate cobbler: warm chocolate pudding and pie crust. Yum. At breakfast, the eggs, bacon, biscuits, hash browns, and pancakes are all consistently made well.

A one-off visit here may only earn 4 stars, but after many, many visits over the years, the consistently solid food and quick service has solidified this as one of our regular favorites. Give them a try if you're in the area.

I have left 5 star reviews before so it probably equals out. We usually enjoy it but this time they forgot a lot of our food, sides that came WITH our plate and. extra sides that we paid for, loaded potatoes (only received a plain potato, no toppings, not even butter).
We tried calling for 20 minutes after to get the corrections but no one answered. It was CLOSE to closing time, but not quite. Maybe they stop answering 30 min till? I'm not sure.
We had our order in an 1.5hours before close.

Good home style cooking and menu selection. All of the staff were super friendly and everything is priced well. The food arrived quickly and hot. The cream style corn was awesome. The atmosphere and fixtures are dated but the restaurant was clean.

Staff is very good. Friendly and helpful. Good menu of choices. Meatloaf is very flavorful! Just wish the cook would cook the ketchup into meat on broil for a while,but still good!
