Great food and friendly service. The buffet was well stocked and everything was fresh and well seasoned. Just an awesome country-cooking restaurant that I plan on visiting again.

My grandson and I went for the special tonight, which was a cheeseburger with the meat cooked on the grill fries and I changed my fries to onion rings. It was delicious. I highly recommend it!

I ordered a sausage egg and cheese on toast called it in and then waited about 15 min when I got there to get home bread not even toasted but the sorry individual in the back in there arguing with each other about what they not gonna do while the other on the phone make it so bad they didn’t have not one customer they are just sorry asf
