The matriarch of Taylor’s Restaurant created her own special strawberry cake a few years ago. It was a good addition to their offerings of mainly meats and veggies.

The dessert has become so popular, it’s not only their best seller, but people come from miles around to sample a sweet, satisfying slice or purchase an entire cake to take home from their location in Russellville.

The restaurant owners believe preparing good food takes time. There’s nothing fast about their style at Taylor’s Restaurant and that’s by design.

Here’s a look at what else makes this restaurant so special.
