Following its viral saga involving Lamar County code inspectors and a state health inspector, The Country Kitchen announced Wednesday that it will reopen later this week under normal business hours.
At this time, it remains unclear what work has been completed to address the septic system issues that led to the restaurant’s recent closure.
Co-owner Buddy Talley told Barnesville Buzz that he understands some members of the community may still have concerns. However, he hopes residents will continue to support the longtime restaurant, which was once a staple in Lamar County.
“We serve great food and have excellent service, so please come back out and support us because of those qualities,” Talley said.
