“Stopped by for the first time ever today. I was greeted by Montgomery. I placed my order and carried on a conversation with Montgomery while i waited. He was a total sweetheart. I got back to the office and opened my food. Oh my....the biscuit and gravy was a very generous portion. It was delicious. It's been hard finding a place with that homemade sausage gravy. The grits were also a very generous portion. Not too runny and not too thick. Just perfect. Looking forward to going back and trying the BBQ.“

“prima eten en vriendelijke bediening“

“I had the pleasure of visiting this place last night with my restaurant group and they rolled out the red carpet. From the moment we walked in we felt right at home. There were about 14 of us and although there was 1 server, she handled everything perfectly. Everyone's drinks stayed full and the table stayed with the really good muffins! Needless to say the service was more than good it was top notch. The food! The baby back ribs were tender with just enough sauce. I particularly loved the Mac and cheese and had to order an additional side. Others had different items from the menu and no one left disappointed. I saw the baked potato and all I can say is if you order it be prepared because it's MASSIVE. All in all a great experience and I would definitely recommend giving it a try if you're in the area cause I'll be back for sure!“

“Get over there and get you some delicious food. I had a catfish plate with greens, Mac n cheese, cabbage & dressing and babyyyy it was amazing!!!!!!!!“

“Omg! Every time I’m here I love it more! Absolutely the BEST food, service, people. It’s all 10 stars! I used Suthern Cluck to cater a meal for 48 people (my son’s theater group) and it was raved about for weeks! They are the best at all they do and they do it with a superior execution! Chef’s kiss! 😘“

“We visited this restaurant at the invitation of one of the customers of SWC Contracting, We were not let down. The food was made with a tasty southern flair and each dish had my taste buds wondering what could be better than the last bite. We arrived about 6:30pm it was a little busy but not crowded and we were seated straight away by our waitress Tabitha, Her personality was bubbly and refreshing. We had our drinks and first dishes out within 7 minutes of our order. I can't say enough about the service, Tabitha if you read this,.. Just WoW!!! The food really is SECOND to NONE. When we want homecoming we usually visit a larger chain but after today this place has won my business for southern cooking and it is cooked at its finest.. I hope you all visit this place and have the experience we had,.. and I would ask for Tabitha if I was you.. P.S. Bring your appetite..“

“Great ambiance, great service, and great food. Had a fabulous time there today.“

“Nice soft jazzy music overhead. I came for breakfast which was a very simple menu, the individuals behind the counter were very nice, they greeted return customers by name, which I thought was lovely. They thought my 1 month old baby girl was adorable (and she is). Breakfast over by 1030am and lunch started, so I asked for a side of greens (very large portion) which were very tender and NOT overly salted. Big plus. Cafeteria style lunch items and inexpensive. You get more food for lunch at $11 than you get for a burger or chicken combo at a fast food restaurant. I would return because the lunch food was fresh and friendly service. You can't really mess up simple breakfast.“

“We ate lunch here after church today, 12/14/25. Service was great from the front door until we left. Our waiter, Michael B was friendly and patient with our 7 member party’s special requests. Awesome job Michael 🙌“

“Sometimes you just want great vegetables and a meal like your mother or grandmother cooked when you were at home. This is the place to go. The restaurant is very clean and the food is hot and well presented. They have a huge selection of meats that include fish, chicken, chicken livers, beef, and pork and vegetables of everything you would want, and a massive salad bar and it is all fresh. The desert bar has cakes, pies, ice cream, brownies, and cobblers that are so good. The breads they make are to die for. I highly recommended Golden Corral for a place to go that serves something for everyone. The service is fantastic and you can go back refill your plate as much as you like. Try it and you will become a regular. Enjoy.“

“Love it ! I recommend it.. and love the store“
