Down Home Country Hospitality, friendly,food as being @ Fried Green Tomatoesservice food fine finger licking great, IMySelf the salad.
It was awesome!!! I had the Philly fires! And wow. My husband loved them n kept stealing some lol
The fried catfish were excellent. Staff were kind and attentive. Nice option out in the country.
love this place!!! try to go at least once a week. The Saturday morning breakfast buffet is amazing and best deal ever. The Sunday lunch buffet is the best after church meal around. My fave reg menu items are “hot ham and cheese“ and the “bbq mac and cheese”. John, Crystal, and the girls are the best. Took my 10yo nephew one day and he said “the sweet tea tastes better than McDonalds”.if you are ever there and see either “broccoli salad” or ”hashbrown casserole“ on the board as special side or written on the buffet… get it!!! Crystal makes best broccoli salad and hashbrown casserole hands down!
We loved this mom and pop joint! The quesadilla was hands down the best one I’ve ever eaten. Family friendly And the service was friendly as well. It’s worth traveling off the beaten path to eat here!
Rode the motorcycles here today. First time we've been here. We all had the buffet, and everything was excellent. The service was fast and the waitress were very good. Definitely want to add this place to the ride routes. Will be back soon!
I had the Bone in wings(huge wings) with French fries and a soda as well as some fried pickles to start off, loved it my first of hopefully many visits.
Great place to eat. Small place so don't be expecting any big parties but it was 10/10 on the food. Reqlly want to try the Friday night seafood buffet and the Saturday breakfast buffet
