Tumpie House experience begins as soon as you drive up. The view is true Southern at its best: acres of farmland dotted with barns and equipment with blue skies and rolling clouds. No farms complete without the animals! Chickens, ducks, goats, and ponies welcome you and clammer for affection. Friends and strangers alike lounge on the farmhouse porch, chatting like family. Walk inside this local favorite to be greeted with smiling faces, walls decked with family heirlooms, and the smell of good homecookin’!
Their steak options are second to none! Prime rib, sirloin, filet, ribeye, T-bone. All your favorite cuts are here at Tumpie House, fired to perfection.
Whether you need a table for two or ten, Tumpie House serves fresh seafood, beefy burgers, thick, hand cut steak, and juicy kabobs. With side items like salad, hushpuppies, home-cooked fries or seasoned veggies, your meal is almost complete. But first an appetizer! Start your meal with shrimp on a stick, fried cheese pearls, or a crispy battered bloomin’ onion, all prepared in house and to order. With options like the 20oz bone-in ribeye, catfish, or fried oysters, Tumpie’s offers up all the flavor of the South. Finish your meal off with a decadent slice of homestyle pecan pie, a chocolate lava cake, or a Sweet T’s Caramel Apple from The Mulberry Kitchen.
The History
In 1869, Jim and Anne Brantley, with the help of some friends, cut the towering pines from their property and built their home. Home to many generations of Brantley’s, the house was purchased by Albert and Tumpie Clark in 1983. During Tumpie’s life time, she was well know for her delicious cooking and her hospitality. When Tumpie passed away in 1998, her son in law, Wayne Shay resolved to build a small restaurant and began remodling the house. The walls still hold many of Tumpie’s prized possessions from small scraps of quilting material to her prized Elvis Presley collection and nostalgic household items from a by-gone era. In order to keep a taste of the family legacy alive, Jimmy and Brandi Shay took over Tumpie House in 2022. Brandi wears many hats as not only Tumpies co-owner, but also the owner, operator, and master baker of Dublin GA’s beloved Mulberry Kitchen.
