Lora Mae’s

"Cozy concept of art, local goods, and cafe food. AMAZING pimento cheese sandwich with the most beautiful touch of green pepper jelly. Lots of menu options and reasonable prices for made to order food. I had the lunch combo for $16. Outside seating and indoor decor adds to the relaxing vibes. Which you will need because there was a +40 minute wait for food for people during Sunday lunch. No complaints from me, the atmosphere of Lora Mae's made me want to stay and have a glass of wine. Friendly waiter Tiny bathroom with small sink Pass on the side salads Lots of seating options for 2 people"

"It was our first time dining at Lora Mae's in Ballground. We were impressed that there is plenty of parking at the "old house" Cafe. That's a plus in Ballground. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Our server went out of her way to get everything just right for us. Everything was very clean and the food was presented in an appealing way. The decor is nice with the original artwork that is for sale. We ordered the half-combo which is a sandwich, salad and cookie or chips. There was more on the menu like soups, specials and other lunch favorites. The selections change often which is my understanding."

"We went with a group of 4. The wait time was very reasonable, and gave us time to look around at the various food and decorative items for sale. We had fresh squeezed lemonade, a meatloaf sandwich, tomato basil soup, pasta salad, and the chicken salad sandwich. Everything was delicious, even the homemade desserts. If you’re looking for a place for lunch that’s delicious and off-the-beaten-path, Lora Mae’s does not disappoint!!"

"This is one of our favorite spots to grab lunch. The sandwiches are always well crafted and delicious. The grilled pimento cheese with green pepper jelly is my fave! It's a neat setup in a historic home with a friendly and calm vibe - highly recommend!"

"Worst meal ever! For $11.13 I got a burnt, flat grilled cheese and a cup of "tomato basil" soup. It was actually more like spaghetti sauce! Three others in my party were equally as dissatisfied with their meals. When I questioned the cashier, she said I had the ADULT grilled cheese and it was $3.50 and the soup was $5.00, still doesn't add up to $11.13. I asked to speak to Nancy the owner and she wasn't there. To top it off, we waited 37 minutes for this awful meal. Do yourself a favor and pass this place by. The cashier laughed when I told her I was over charged and offered a free cookie for our extended wait time! I didn't want the free cookie, I wanted lunch! This place could be so nice too. Very sad to be treated so rudely and have such a horrible meal. UPDATE Unfortunately, your staff told you what they wanted you to hear. When I questioned what I was charged the young lady at the register recalculated and said yep that's what you were charged. Giggled, turned around and walked into the kitchen. You have such a lovely location and such a great idea for the restaurant, it's a shame you don't have the staff too follow through."
