A Place That Feels Like Home
Southern Fried & Sweet Tea is a comfort food restaurant in the heart of Puryear, Tennessee. We serve up hearty, home-style meals with portions big enough to fill even the hungriest appetite — and probably send you home with a box for later.
From our famous gator gumbo to pork chop sandwiches, pecan cobbler, and fresh-baked cakes and pies, everything is made with care. Our sweet tea is a must, and our desserts are worth saving room for (if you can).
We're proud to be a gathering place for families, friends, and folks just passing through. Our staff greets you with a smile, and we want every guest to feel right at home. Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, we're glad you're here.
