When traveling, it’s often easy to take the route of least resistance when seeking food between point A and point B. Translation: we’ll often eat whatever is closest to the highway. Perhaps that’s why The Lunch Lady, located in Ridgeland, is so often missed by tourists making their way through the Palmetto State on Interstate 95.
The next time you find yourself contemplating where to stop for breakfast or lunch near the Georgia border on I-95, don’t hesitate to drive a few extra miles after taking Exit 8 westward on Highway 278.
