The best southern food around and huge portions! Hands down the best creamed spinach I’ve ever tasted. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. They start you off with fresh mini loaves of bread and delicious honey butter. You will definitely not be able to stop eating the bread. Then your food comes out and you can’t stop eating because it’s so good. Their prices have gone up but it’s still worth it for special occasions.

If you are in Ofallen Fairview area this is an absolute must!! You won’t regret it at all. I give this place a 5 star because the service, food and staff. Be sure to call ahead to see what the wait is though because Lotawata Creek can be very busy. Their bread and butter is homemade and is complimentary for eating there always. Their burgers are highly recommended and also their fries! Every time in the area I go only to this restaurant. It is handicap accessible and staff will be sure to help if it’s not too busy. They have indoor seating only but the outside is great for taking photos. Lotawata creek is a big restaurant with several different seating areas.

Very good! Huge portions of food. Lots of fried food. Their OMG chili Mac is really good...better leftover the next day. Pork chops are great, onion rings, stuffed mushrooms, their bread is to die for (and I'm not a bread eater), burgers are incredible, and so is their chicken fried chicken....just to name a few! I dont think you can really go wrong here. Just plan on sharing those appetizers, or make it your entire meal.

Do you take reservations for Father's Day? It would be a small group.

Laura Gehrin | Jul 1, 2021
Curtis Williams | Jul 2, 2021

To add space they would need to either use up precious parking spaces or buy out the flea market next door. Not likely to happen without a big cash influx. Just enjoy it while you can. People are happily waiting on line. Join them with a smile or pick up from the vastly improved curbside pickup and take it home or go to a local park like I did.
