Walnut Hills is a family affair - a family of good cooks assisted by a personable and capable service staff - no professional staff, no graduates of the Culinary Institute of America, just good old-fashioned Southern cooks and servers who are proud to be a part of Walnut Hills' history. The food at Walnut Hills is what most of us refer to as good ole Southern home-cooked victuals. The atmosphere is equally as homey: warm light, revolving round tables like many of us remember from visits to The Round Table in Mendenhall, cozy bar and dining areas, regular visits from owner Joyce May, chief cook Herdcine Williams, waitress Darlene Hughes, waiter Xavier Richards and other staff members making sure that your meal is "just right".
