Oil Lamp Restaurant

It was nice having a home cooked type meal...

I can definitely see why this place is an Icon... Very, very clean establishment. Food is obviously prepared with freshness and flavor in mind, with served portions well worth the $$. Every employee seems to really care that you are there and are willing to accommodate your needs in a enthusiastic, helpful manner...!! A real gem of a restaurant !!!!!

The Smoked Ribeyes are wonderful😋♥️♥️♥️ This is our second visit and both times have been a great experience. Waitress staff and servers are very attentive and kind♥️ We will be back and like a friend who told us about the Oil Lamp, we are telling others. Thanks to all who work at the Oil Lamp for the great food and service! ♥️♥️♥️😘

My husband and I were coming back from hawkinsville and saw this little spot....from the service to the food was totally excellent!! Paid a little more than I thought it would be but was so worth it and even had leftovers for tomorrow. Thanks for a awesome first time experience at your restaurant!!

Wonderful southern soul food! I highly recommend this place; I ate here and had their meatloaf with squash casserole and biscuits and it was delicious! Afterwards I had their lemon pie and it did not disappoint. The price is a little more than what I'd typically pay for these types of meals, but it is definitely worth every penny.

Had lunch here with the family , we were passings thru and found this place on Google maps. The reviews were correct, the food is awesome, country cooking. We had 6 in our group and everyone tried something different, it was all good .Friendly, fast service, the place was spotless. It looks like it fills up fast around noon .We will be back.

Southern family style comfort food in a pleasant location with a friendly staff. There is always a variety of food available and it is well prepared. I always enjoy the dessert, especially the peanut butter pie.

The staff are amazingly friendly & helpful. The food is great home cooking with no fuss no muss. Just be sure to know not open on the weekend.

Excellent home cooking and great friendly service even at a 2:00 lunch. Everything was hot and fresh.

We enjoy Oil Lamp, is a way from the house. They have their own style of home cooking.

Wonderful as always. Wish I could eat there more often.

Amazing Ribeye steak.. everything tasted great.

Good food. Obviously a place where the locals come. Got the rib eye steak. Cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Family owned. For those who are sensitive to how much salt they eat choose carefully. Flies distracted from the meal.

Awesome place. Long line, but it went quickly, the food was great. Service and staff were great too.

Excellent food - wonderful service - a true gem ..

Awesome food served cafeteria style, they are very efficient and the service could not be better. Be sure to get a slice of pie! They will warm the pie and surprise you with ice cream when you are ready.

Food is excellent and you get what you pay for! All staff is eager to help anyway they can. Never have to ask for a refill they are on top of things. If you haven't tried you definitely should!

Real home cooking food. It’ll make you feel like momma made it!!

The Oil Lamp is a modest cafeteria style restaurant serving well prepared southern country food at an average price point. We were there on a Friday night with a large horse show at the nearby state fairgrounds. The line was out the door, but it only took 15 minutes to get our food. Our bill for 2 was $23.60. It is VERY popular with the locals as well as visitors. I give 4 stars instead of 5 because the food, wait staff and decor is very good but not great. We would definitely go back. Btw, the Oil Lamp is closed Saturday and Sunday!

Only giving four stars , because they were way over fire code with the amount of people in the building at one time . The food was amazing, like it is every time . They need a bigger building and parking lot for the amount of people that stop in there .

Such delicious food. Generous portions. Homemade food. Cantina style. Friendly service. Fair pricing.

The food was delicious! Although there was a long line when we got there it moved very quickly and we were sitting down in no time. The choices of meats and vegetables was pretty good, with at least 4 meats and about 6 or 7 choices of vegetables, not to mention the bread and all the pies and desserts! And as a true southerner I didn't forget the sweet tea!! It was all so good! And the price wasn't too bad either. I spent about $11.00 for baked chicken, corn, loaded mashed potatoes, cabbage, corn bread, sweet tea, and strawberry pie! And it was all good! I cleaned my plate! So I say it was well worth it! And everyone had a smile!

Everything I've ever eaten at the Oil Lamp Restaurant has been delicious, and today was no exception. The choices in comfort foods and desserts are amazing. I'm so stuffed right now...fat & happy, as it were. I'll be back again soon, and so should you!

The staff and the food was great! If you're ever in the Perry Georgia area this would be a great place to bring your family. Love the food! The staff was very friendly!

Omg! The food is great! Homemade pies. Wonderful staff. Not to miss if you haven't been here, you're missing out.

Good ole Southern food! Cafeteria style service with a rotating menu. Checkout their Facebook page for their daily eats.

Southern cafeteria style food

Judy n her team are great n best peanut butter pie ever

This is a great place for a meat and three. The service is great and you get that real homey vibe. The food was very good.

Oysters were very good. Service is quick.

My group wanted something a little bit off the beaten path and they discovered this place on my trip to Atlanta Georgia as a charter driver I take people all over and I want to tell you they had fresh fresh food I made myself a large salad with chicken and broccoli & cauliflower grilled chicken was fresh and everything tasted great!👍I had steamed cabbage also which was delicious but I saw everything from cakes to pies to grilled chicken to various types of beans potatoes rice everything you want is there in this cafeteria style Restaurant but it's kind of like soul food as well and it's just home style good comfort food😋

Love this place. Just moved out of Perry and this is one of the main things I'll miss. Cafeteria style restaurant, very good good and very good price. Staff is great at keeping your drink full. Ms. Judy is a saint.

For St. Patrick's day yesterday the corned beef and sauerkraut were best I ever had. All their food is so good we will continue to support their take out which starts Fri March 20th. When you need a treat their caramel apple pie is especially good. Fridays are meatloaf day. We have been loyal customers for a really long time.

Oh man one of the best places to eat lunch in Perry! If you leave hungry it's your own fault!

If you want some great tasting food cooked to perfection, the Oil Lamp Restaurant is the place to visit. First visit but won't be my last!

Small, cafeteria style restaurant. Great food and even better service. One of my favorite restaurants!

Have to give it a 5 based on the friendliest people and atmosphere ever. The food is pretty good too.

Wonderful cafeteria style resteraunt. Casual, friendly, gracious servings, and convenient location. Oil Lamp staff were helpful and did not mind any extra effort to make our dining experience complete. This is a regular stop for us when we are in Perry.

Best home cooking around. Wonderful food and excellent service. Reminds me of home.

The food was great, as was the service. Helpings are hearty and prices are modest. We will be going back there!

It's the best place in Perry to eat a good home meal.. Love it.

The food was fresh and delicious. Catfish was amazing and so was the service. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming! We will definitely be returning!!

Great food and wonderful service. It's hard to choose what to eat, everything is so delicious!

Great food. Great people. They periodically have a breakfast buffet that is delicious.

Wonderful selection of meats, vegetables, salads, breads and many perfect deserts to choose from. Friendly service in a clean environment. I've never had an unpleasent meal in the three plus years I've been a customer. My favorite is a vegetable plate (mashed potatos, turnip greens, squash casserole, corn or zipper peas with a cornbread muffin) and banana pudding or peanut butter pie😀

The food here is amazing and they have a wide variety to choose from. The pie selection will take us forever to get through because there are so many types. The staff in the dining area are extremely helpful and sweet, they seem to love their job and take great pride in doing it.

This place has some of the best food you’ll ever eat. It’s all fresh, all home style, all the time. It’s not open on Sundays, but that’s ok. Everybody needs their time off. Just be sure to get there early enough to have time to finish it all. Their portions are generous.

Amazing food and service as always! Love going here and eating lunch.

Great home cooked food! Was an interesting way of getting food. From Michigan and wanted to try something new! Definitely would recommend!

Best place in town for a good, home cooked style meal. Make sure to save room for dessert.
