Gravy Boat restaurant actually started up the road on Rockmart Highway as a distribution center. After making foods such as pizza pockets and barbeque, James P. Turner Sr. decided to start serving fresh food and rented the little building we have now in 1981. It soon became the go to place for fresh made from scratch biscuits and country meats we prepared in our store.

He then decided to buy the building next door that was an old convenience store. Mr. Turner gutted it and turned the place into a sandwich shop that served sandwiches, some groceries and cigarettes and the Pick-O-Deli was born. He played with several different ideas until 1985 when country meat and vegetables took off!! People loved the southern comfort food and family atmosphere we provide.

The owner, Jimmy Turner Jr., came to work with his father in 1983 and sought to help make his father's business successful as it was growing. After some years, Jimmy bought the corporation from his dad. Turner Food Systems was comprised of the businesses Pick O' Deli Cafeteria and Gravy Boat Restaurant.

Jimmy's two daughters followed in his footsteps, becoming the 3rd generation to work in the business. They grew up helping their dad grind sausage while standing on milk crates and later joining the staff and worked here until they finished their college educations.
After, James Turner Sr. passed away in 2014, Jimmy purchased the Pick O' Deli building and property from his sisters and Debbie White purchased the Gravy Boat and it's property so Turner Food Systems was dissolved.

Pick O' Deli Cafeteria is preparing to build a new building that will serve their customers for many more years to come.
