Church Street Social — Restaurant in Town of Hazelhurst

Awful service, mediocre food, and it was super expensive. When I arrived 10 minutes early, several people were looking at a trailer for sale on the property. I asked the owner if I could look inside trailer as I was in the market for one. I was told someone was going to buy it and the future owners would not want me inside of it. So we sat down and the same lady asked if we were just there for drinks (at 12pm). We wanted food, and we were presented with 2 options: both were a choice of overcooked spaghetti noodles.

We live close to Church Street Social and have gotten to know Darcy, the owner very well.

What do I say about this unique dining establishment? When I walked in, it felt I was crashing someone’s house for dinner. A small, intimate setting that is reminiscent of a living room with an attached kitchen. Each night’s menu is a limited selection of two or three items. And the proprietor?
