Yes You Can...

.
Yes you can enjoy a country buffet in the country, in Treutlen County, Georgia. Drive in at Cowboy Carey's Convenience Barn for country cooking and a variety of country needs. It's located at the intersection of two state highways, GA 46 and GA 199, the latter being one of the most historic roads in the county.
.

.
The old river road developed from the trails of the Native Americans, and became a dirt road for the early farmer-settlers, the route through Lothair, a substantial community before the county seat of Soperton on the new railroad (circa 1900). The owners are descendants of the local pioneer families. Cowboy Carey's is known for its neighborliness.
.

.
Even before entering the building, the glass windows and doors are alive as a community bulletin board.
.

.
The nearby Oconee River provides fish and game, such as the feral hog.
.

.
The latest catches are posted on the walls.
.

.
A group of working men lined up at the lunch buffet. Tuesday night the specialty is steak, and Friday is for fish and shrimp.
.

.
Jack and Grace Sweat, renowned for their popular barbecue restaurant on I-16 in Treutlen County for decades, now retired, enjoy good local food.

Over in the Maverick section are two of the Crow-Mart crowd, who visit Cowboy Carey's frequently.
