WOW times 10! If you are looking for home cooking, look no farther. Staff was great, food was amazing, our server Ms Karen kept our drinks full, and the food coming. This was our first time and I was a little confused on how you order, so here's the scoop. This is a all you can eat restaurant. They have a menu and you order anything you want!! It's not a choice of meat and sides brought to the table, each person gets what they want. It's a buffet, but you don't fix your plate. Everything is counting cooking. My favorite was dressing with chicken gravy, the Mexican cornbread, mashed potatoes (with chicken gravy), pinto beans and my wife loved the goulash. Oh and let's not forget dessert!! pineapple pudding :) We will definitely be back when in the area!!

We are currently eating here and the food is delicious - portions are huge and the service is great. Price is also affordable! My husband said it’s nice to FINALLY have a biscuit made from scratch that I can eat!!

Truly adorable authentic Southern food restaurant ❤️ I am so grateful this kind of family restaurant still exists in the middle of industrial food chain business, as I indeed feel love, hospitality and homey in their food and service! The dessert is typical southern and soooo delicious! Come hungry!!

5⭐ We came in for lunch and accidentally had Thanksgiving. Four of us - two grandparents, a daughter, and a granddaughter - came in for the lunch buffet Saturday and accidentally ate like we were preparing for winter hibernation. We ordered a variety of meats and vegetables, and every single thing was hot, fresh, and delicious. The vegetables tasted like someone’s grandma had been back there guarding the stove all morning - not a hint of that “straight-from-a-can” flavor. About halfway through the meal the whole table went silent… which is the universal sign that the food is really good. By the time we left, we were so full we were moving at the speed of molasses. Fantastic food, wonderful experience, and we’ll absolutely be back (after we walk off about three pounds). 😄

We visited this place on Saturday and had a wonderful experience! From the moment we entered, the cozy hometown vibe made us feel right at home. The food was truly tasty, and the sweet tea served in a mason jar was some of the best we've had. With great food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home, we’ll surely return!

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The food was very good outside of the Mac and cheese being frozen. The chicken and dressing with gravy was very good. The salad bar is self serve and the menu is served family style. I really liked that the portions were appropriate for the number of people.

I was treated by a friend for my birthday. I had never been. It's a down home atmosphere with country cooking like grandma's. Real dumplings, meatloaf, cobbler, pies and rows of tables of food. Please don't waste any! Everything I had was very good but of course I ate so much I could have taken a nap! Don't eat and drive! Lol!

This is the best buffet I have ever eaten, All of the food is home made and delicious. You will not find a better home-made style restaurant or buffet restaurant in this area. The service is superb, warm and inviting what you would expect from a southern style restaurant and very clean. The hot bard was always clean and fully stocked. We didn’t have to wait too long before we were seated and we got our drink orders. The fried chicken was excellent. Some more of my favorites was the fried okra, wieners and sauerkraut, meatballs (specially seasoned) boiled cabbage, pasta salad, corn bread, banana pudding ( the best I have had in a long time} peach cobbler mmmmmm and they kept the cobbler and fresh cookies on a hot plate to keep them warm. What restaurant does that besides this one!? By the way the salad bar was well kept also. If those attention to details wasn’t enough for you, the price includes your drink, and the coffee was so good I had 5 cups!

A small quaint restaurant with fair prices and good home style food. The wait staff are very friendly and on top of all of the customers needs. The tables were clean and the food bars were consistently clean and filled. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want good country food.
