Red Earth Table — Restaurant in District 1

An eatery with the slogan, “if you love them, feed them,” has to get your attention.

We’re so glad Merretta Anderson’s bakery-diner got ours.

First we tried her coffee and lemon scones—yum! Another delicious breakfast was biscuits and gravy and some breakfast sandwiches.

This girl reviewer is so grateful that the loving tradition is real ingredients like butter and cream with NO industrial seed oils or trans fats in any of this bakery’s food.

We went back for her new lunchtime offering of soup (loaded potato). She’s only opening for lunch Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Worth waiting for.

We also took a half-dozen cinnamon rolls home. Super yum for soup and the rolls.

Merretta’s interior design taste is also impressive, taking an older building in Isabel to a light and airy atmosphere, achieved by adding more windows and having a soft, pale green interior with a fun display of her maternal side photos (the origins of loving and feeding and the “tradition of feeding others”) and photos of past Isabel buildings, taken by turn-of-the-century photographer, Frank Cundill, an early twentieth-century area historian.

We hope Isabel and surrounding counties will patronize this gem going and make it a destination.

Red Earth Table is comfy, welcoming and the place to go for bakery, catering, custom cakes, private parties (there’s a large private room), and...

Amazing food. The hand pies are...
