Several years ago, while we were still ballooning, we used to go to the Country Boy in Leiper’s Fork for breakfast after the flight.  We loved it – really down home breakfast and a really good country vibe.  Went often for lunch as well, when we were out that way.  Then, a couple of years ago, they abruptly closed, and the location was taken over by the owner of the Firefly Grill in Green Hills.  It was called Fly South, and was decorated like the original – in a Mardi Gras theme with tons of beads, etc.  We went a couple of times, and enjoyed that as well.  More of a lunch/dinner place – no breakfast.  So not really comparable. A bit pricey, but good for an occasional treat.

I heard a while back that the Country Boy was coming back to the space, so this last week we took a ride out there.  The ride is really nice – we usually take the Natchez Trace, which we always enjoy.  We had a good lunch, and were really pleased.  They got the original decor back, and the food was simple and country, just like before.  I was so pleased to find that they had a regular 4 ounce hamburger!  So many places serve such big ones, and I can’t eat that much.  You can add another patty for an additional price, if you are a big eater.  Ray had a chicken salad sandwich and pronounced it very good.

All in all, a nice ride and lunch.  Do try it if you are in the neighborhood, or just want a nice ride in the country!
