Sawmill Country Cooking

Sawmill Country Cooking is a comfort food lover’s dream come true.  Serving up down-home cooking in beautiful downtown Gray, Georgia. Located in the former “worker’s quarters” of one of Gray’s now-defunct sawmills, our cozy little diner seats 30 comfortably in a family-style setting designed to encourage community.  Featuring vintage sawmill tools and an antique stove from the 1800s, the rustic room is a welcoming escape for friends and the perfect place for a family meal.  

“We want our friends to feel welcome.  It’s a place to sit and share a good meal with your family, friends, and neighbors.  It’s the perfect spot to stay awhile and catch up on the latest hometown  news.”--Rodd  

We’ve got that straightforward, non-nonsense food you crave and daily specials guaranteed to remind you of your Mama’s cooking.  

Come on down to Sawmill and stay awhile.

SOUTHERN FRIENDSHIP.

Duce and Rodd, the dream team behind Sawmill, have been best friends since back in the day.

“We met in grade school, then we were teammates on the football field, and we even did college together.  I think that our lifelong bond comes across in the way we run Sawmill.  We’re a team, we’re tight, and we don’t stop till we get it right.”--Duce

Sawmill is the culmination of their shared dream of bringing it back to where it all started and showing their gratitude to the community they call home.  They set out to create a place where their friends would always feel welcome and they could serve up consistently delicious, quality food to their hometown crowd.
