Left camp this morning and headed to Wrens, GA. This is the home of Stuckey's. There are still a few Stuckey's Roadside joints left, but if you traveled I95 in the 60s and 70s there was one a almost every exit!
Before we stopped at the home of Stuckey's we stopped for lunch at Peggie's Restaurant.
It was highly recommended by everyone local we've talked to. They are famous for southern food. We screwed up. When we first walked in there was a long line at the warning table being served by a few ladies. We decided to skip the line and ordered some sandwiches at the counter. We sat down at a table and waited over an hour for our sandwiches. As we sat there I think ever locals from Wrens stopped in for lunch and they all ate from the warming table. Our sandwiches were awful and we got a lot of looks from all the locals enjoying their lunch. Live and learn! After lunch we hit the Stuckey's museum if you can call it that.
We were totally disappointed. It was more like a lousy store with almost nothing you might want. They did have some Pecan stuff (that's what they are famous for). We spent all of 10 minutes and then hit the road headed home. Then we stopped at Sunny Day Farms Bakery & General Store. This made the drive worth it. They had fresh baked donuts and bake goods, They will have u-pick strawberries in a few weeks. We are looking forward to returning.
