Enjoy An Exceptional History of Taste

The Swanson, located in Perry, Georgia, is housed in the historic Cox-Swanson home, which dates back to the 1790s. Named in honor of Norine Swanson Jones—an influential local educator and musician—the restaurant was opened in 2002 by Mike and Kim Sheridan. Today, it’s known for its Southern charm, rich history, and signature dishes like fried chicken and little biscuits.
