Very clean & spacious. Wanted beets for my salad & they broke open a can for me @ no extra cost. This is my second time I ate here. They also have a specialty shop of craft items. I've bought unique gifts for someone back home again.
Vegetarian options: Create with buffet options.

The food was absolutely delicious! The best hamburger steak I’ve had in awhile! Burger was fantastic as well. Great service and such friendly people. Going back tomorrow for breakfast before we leave town.

We have been here before. We just had lunch there again and the buffet and everything was very good. There was a pretty large lunch crowd but it seems normal to them. We will keep this as one of our favorite stops when we are in Forrest City.

My uncle and myself was traveling and we stop in Forrest City to eat us a bite and we decide to go to the Old Sawmill Cafe. We both got the buffet it was Breakfast time. The food was delicious they had a variety of things to choose from on the buffet. Some good down home country cooking. The staff was very nice and friendly. Next time I'm traveling out that way I will definitely stop in there again and I would recommend anyone else to also. And the pricing is not bad. I think it was like 28 or 30 dollars for my uncle and myself to eat the buffet. Thats about wat your gonna pay anywhere for good food and trust me the food will not disappoint you.
Parking: They have a parking lot out front and it works well for regular vehicles but if yout In a 18 wheeler or pulling a big trailer you cannot access their parking lot. The parking is limited especially during their busy times during the day I'm sure it is.
Wheelchair accessibility: You can push a person in wheelchair right threw the doors and right up to their table.

Incredible restaurant, incredible staff, incredible food. This was my first time at a soul food buffet and it did not disappoint. This is what every Cracker Barrel wishes it could be.
There is an all you can eat salad bar, dessert bar, and all types of southern food. Fried chicken, navy beans, yams, carrots, green beans, collard greens, cabbage, fish, ribs, fried shrimp, corn nuggets, cornbread, and more.
Bathrooms are clean and the gift shop is very cute! Staff was amazing. The cooks would come out often to check on the food and ensure nothing ran out. Terry, our server, was extremely attentive and kind.
It’s also reasonably priced. We went for dinner (2 adults, 1 child) Sunday night and paid less than $50 (before tip).

The disgusting communal butter dishes on the buffet are enough to make you gag. The rest of the place is just as dirty. Save yourself being grossed out and go to Waffle House across the street. At least their sausage won't be the consistency of a Slim Jim. Teach your cook to make eggs properly. All of them were overcooked. And the waitress spent most of her time outside with her boyfriend or something. I'm in the parking lot writing this review and she just now finally went back inside. I should have just turned around and left when I walked inside and the place was completely empty. That's saying something in a small town with a breakfast buffet.

Down home cooking at its best! It reminds me of a little Cracker Barrel. I like the Buffet and Salad Bar.
