  What a cool little find; down home hospitality and service in the coolest little place. Little, but plenty of seating area and they serve a delicious home style meal that really fills you up and makes you feel like you are sitting in Grandma's kitchen.
  
  If I remember right, the menu changes based on what they're serving, but everything that came to our table was delicious and the service was spot-on. I highly recommend stopping in to not only enjoy the food and hospitality, but to check out some of the pies (we got one of each) as they are really something special. Plus, there is a little gift area with some super cute trinkets and what-nots.

  For a dude who thinks meringue is garbage, I sure did like this place.
  
  You know how a lot of people search Yelp for hidden gems when they visit a new place? I am guilty of that as well, but my visit to Lea's was a little more serendipitous. I was travelling through the area and exited to find a bathroom. I exited at the next exited, and saw a sign that said Lea's Lunchroom and that sounded kind of unique to me. I headed that way, and boom, meringue heaven.
  
  Lea's is locally famous as a lunch counter and is known for their pies and ham sandwiches. Their pies have about ten feet of meringue (that's an exaggeration). More on the ham sandwiches later.
  
  Lea's has clean bathrooms and very friendly staff. It would be a good place to stop if you need a break from work or the road. They also sell local cookbooks and jarred food products if you need gifts for folks.
  
  So since you know how I feel about meringue, surely I tried a famous ham sandwich, right? I did. And guess what? It was good. But it is still just a ham sandwich. I don't know what sort of fanciness you could do to a ham sandwich to make it blow me away, but their version was solid. If you love old fashioned ham sandwiches, you would probably be super duper happy.
  
  Lea's is my kind of place despite my distrust of anyone who likes meringue. If you're looking for that hidden local gem in this area, this is the spot you're looking for.

  Best meringue I've eaten! We ordered the Chocolate, the Lemon and the Coconut pies and all were amazing!

  We had previously heard great things about Lea's prior to moving to the area. It had slipped our mind most days, but we woke up this morning craving sweets! So I meantime's pies and we both agreed that it would be a perfect time to go check out Lea's! It was definitely worth the drive and the wait to finally go out there. It's such a humble and welcoming place, walking in you are surrounded by the sweet smell of pies, and lines of people eager to take home fresh pies! We sat and shared a fried chicken plate and everything on the plate was delicious! We saved enough room to try some pies! We had our hopes set on banana pie but they were out, so we picked three others and they were amazing. I'm not a fan of meringue but the lemon meringue was perfect, the apple and pecan melt in your mouth. We will definitely be back!

  We wanted this place to be good! Such high hopes! Oh but this place is quite the disappointment. Food all tasted like it had sugar added to it. My hubs who will eat about anything didn't finish his meal. Mac and Cheese was Kraft Easy MAC. They also charge $13 for 1 piece of fish and 3 nasty sides. Pie was not great either: daughter called it sugar eggs. Just keep driving right by this place.
