About The Gift Horse Restaurant

The Gift Horse Restaurant is a locally-owned establishment in Foley that has been a favorite among many for years. It is located in a historic building with antique decor and offers a delicious buffet. Customers appreciate the friendly staff and kid-friendly atmosphere. The restaurant features opera music and a dessert bar, but the selection can sometimes be limited, and the food on the buffet is not always hot, often tasting like canned food with minimal seasoning. The consistency of dishes like yams and apples in the apple cheese casserole is similar to canned varieties. The bread pudding has a soggy consistency and drips off the spoon. Parking is limited to a few street spots, and the restaurant is not wheelchair accessible unless customers alert the staff to unlock the ramp. Prices are considered somewhat expensive for the quality of food and service received. Despite some issues, many find it a great spot for lunch, especially noting the fried chicken, and enjoy the inviting atmosphere and good service. Customers often look forward to returning to try more dishes and share the experience with friends and family.
