“Covered , smothered, chunked“

“The food was delicious even though my eyes were bigger than my stomach. I took the rest to go. I ordered the All Star breakfast: double hashbrowns covered, smothered, & peppered, cheese eggs, raisin toast sausage, & pecan Waffle with a sweet tea to drink. Also, an order of sausage and bacon with an OJ for my daughter. We had a mom-daughter breakfast date. Only thing they didn't have any apple butter for my toast so that's why they didn't get 5 stars“

“Highly recommended Y’all go try for yourself‼️‼️‼️“

“Got the Blue Mouse Salad with chipotle ranch. It was very good, very fresh lettuce, tender steak, good onion rings. Didn’t drink but looked like a good place to do so, with atleast a dozen chairs at the bar and several TVs. Has an area with a big garage style door for when the weather is nice.“

“So wonderful to visit a Golden Corral again. Loved the white cake and cabbage. Great staff. Absolute gem of a restaurant.

Vegetarian options: Not ideal labelling but lots of steamed veggies, Mexican and plain rice, Mac N cheese, desserts. Etc“

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there’s a wheelchair ramp and parking.“

“Great place❣️ Food, drinks & great service. Amanda the bartender was fabulous!“

“Nice dark bar with a great staff, our bartender was a complete joy to talk too. There is also plenty to visually take in while looking around inside. The margarita wasn't the best but this isn't that type of bar. The beer was cold so I really had nothing to complain about. The service is spot on, greeted and served us immediately upon sitting. This is also a smoking bar so don't start whining.“

“I mean it's a diner it's not trying to be anything more than what it is and it pulls it off amazingly it's really good portions for really good prices it's typical diner food and it's all delicious I should just go in there“

“First time eating here. It was great and we got a ham to go for Christmas Eve!“

“My wings are always cooked to perfection!!! The fries are always hot! I have never had a bad experience. Everytime I'm in Albany, this is a stop I must make. I only order the number one meal so I can't tell you about the other foods, but the wings again are amazing!“

“The food hardly ever disappoints, but this time, my steak tips were not tender at all. But the customer service was pretty good. Valen was exceptional with her service. She made the experience top tier. I couldn't believe she was new there. We love their pancakes and omelets. Most definitely the best!“

“one of my favorite restaurants. the triple dipper is the best thing on the menu. i get mine with the burger bites, southwest chicken eggrolls and the mozzarella sticks. the drinks are also really good. the texas strawberry lemonade and the captain’s castaway are my favorites.“

“August 9, 2024, after 8:00 p.m., we got together to fellowship with our granddaughter before she left for college the next day. It was about 17 in the group. When we walked in, we were treated like they didn't want us there. The waiter seemed uninterested and unconcerned. Since we only saw one table occupied by another family, we asked if the middle tables could be pulled closer together. The waiter (DJ I think on the name tag) SLOWLY proceeded to pull the tables together. When he finally finished, he didn't inform us that he was done, he just walked away and left us standing waiting. Another worker behind the counter finally told us we could sit down. As the waiter began to take our drink order, we asked how would he separate the tickets because he was putting everything on the same ticket at that time. We got 2 smart remarks with a dry attitude!! The coworker who stepped in to assist with bringing the food out was awesome and the food was great. I gave the dry waiter a good tip anyway. Had his attitude been different, he could have received a tip from the others making it worth his time. Hopefully before we revisit, he'll have people skills. Bottom line, we enjoyed each other's company and the food was great.

Parking: Parking lot shared with other business owners.“

“Place was very quiet not many customers, appetizer came fast and hit! Food came out before we fo.ished appetizer and it was hot!! Only downfall got a pretty separate menu for frozen drinks and when ordered was told the frozen machine was down, so why give me the menu?? Could give 6 shrimp instead of 4 but overall great meal!“
