“We have strawberries coming in from out-of-town now that are very tasty, but soon we will have local berries to make all our delicious desserts,” says owner Marlene Geren, noting some of the Ooltewah restaurant’s options include strawberry pie, strawberry cobbler and its famous strawberry shortcake.
“We also use fresh berries to make our strawberry spinach salad for those eating healthy,” she adds.
Friends and families can come in and pick from a wide selection of entrees, vegetables and desserts and still enjoy a delicious meal with any diet restriction.
