There is no sweeter smell in Turley than that of a fresh, hot cobbler that has just been pulled out of an oven inside the Cobbler Mom kitchen.
If you time the visit right, you’ll be greeted by a rich peach scent.

The smell only gets stronger as you walk to the counter, where there’s a glass case of sweet potato pie, as well as a pineapple cream pie.
It’s known as the “Mystery Case” because the options are always random and constantly changing.
If that’s not overwhelming enough, the smell of baked chicken and vegetables drifts through the service window a few feet from the register.

Cobbler Mom is one of only three restaurants in a 5-mile radius in Turley.
