We were wanting some catfish and Everlina's came up on the Google search. The proprietor met us at the door and seated us, he is so great. He was helpful on the menu items and had great suggestions. The restaurant is clean and neat and the food is outstanding. We will definitely be back. I recommend Everlina's highly for good home cooked food and a family atmosphere.

The food and service was great. Took a little time, but well worth it. The waitresses was nice but her blue hair was very strange. Half the overhead lights were either off or burnt out, not sure. The decorations on the wall were 1990's Hobby Lobby except for the wonderful paintings/prints of singers. Those are great. I thought the tv advertisement stating "if you see a misspelling, you get a 10 gift card" was genius. It kept me looking at the advertisements, haha. I'd recommend brightening up the place, updating the decor, and piping in some 1970-1980's country music. I will absolutely return. The food was great!

Evelyn is BETTER THAN POSEYS!!!!!!!!!! My husband and I order from here ALL THE TIME. The food is always seasoned PERFECT and he loves their beef tips. The Sweet Tea is the best around here, it’s just the way I love it, EVERY SINGLE TIME. I once called up there just praise them on the sweet tea! Our youngest son tasted the food and was like I need to go to this place now, he is only 9. He loves the macaroni and cheese and begs to eat here at least 2-3 times a week! I went in a few weeks ago for the first time, the environment was quiet with the football game on, very warming and polite staff, clean, and my sweet tea was PERFECT! The sweet tea beats McDonald’s and Waffle House, Evelyn you win the sweet tea contest!!!!!!!

We thought it was excellent. Service was great and very friendly. We’re from here and it reminded us of good old fashioned country cooking’. Hard to find that as much now. I have food allergies and I was still able to figure out something that was good and met my allergy needs.

A group of us went by after finishing a bike ride in the area. The owner and staff were great. We were promptly seated and the owner went over the menu thoroughly and shared the history of the restaurant. He is enthusiastic and proud of his restaurant. The food was great and truly a southern style home cooked meal. Worth a visit anytime. Be sure to wear your eating pants. You will not leave hungry!

Absolutely outstanding delicious home cooking. Everything was so good. I was in area for work and wish I had a place like this where I'm from. The green beans are what you want when it comes to southern style. The mashed potatoes and gravy were excellent. Gravy was so flavorful and rich. Cat fish cooked perfectly. And of course, the slaw was spot on

We’ve driven by Everlina’s numerous times since they opened and today we finally stopped in for lunch. As I sit here writing this review, my belly is still digesting the delicious ribs, collard greens, mac & cheese, baked beans and apple cobbler (all for 10!). The cook and his wife were confident we’d love our meal and they were absolutely right. Generous portions, fresh food, fast & friendly customer service, and a great price...what’s not to like? We absolutely enjoyed our dose of home cooking and will definitely be back! If there’s a better meal in Hazel Green, I’d like to know about it.
