Wilson's Best Eateries: Kountry Kitchen
Thursday, April 12
Kountry Kitchen owner Tim Whitley revived the Kountry Kitchen several years ago after the long-standing restaurant lay dormant for quite some time. From the beginning, he knew his focus should be on one thing: quality. Quality ingredients, quality staff and a quality environment for locals to enjoy "fine country food." The strategy has paid off. The feedback from the lunch buffets and "kountry breakfasts" is nothing but positive, and the restaurant's space is at its maximum capacity most days.

Saturday is also Kids' Day, with free face painting being offered for kids during the hours of 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
