Came in for lunch. Took a while to get a drink, then had to wait for the waitress. Had to wait for food. Food was good, ordered a salad with 1000 island but got ranch.
Very disappointed that the buffet wasn't there. That was why we make the trip there. Guess we won't be back.

Local gem. Come hungry. Leave happy.
If you love real comfort food, hometown vibes, and people who treat you like family the minute you walk in — this is your place.
We had the BEST experience from start to finish. The buffet was incredible (crispy fried chicken, catfish, so many sides, fresh salad bar — all of it was on point), and the menu is huge if you’d rather order. Everything tasted homemade, fresh, and seasoned just right.
The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and full of character. You can tell this place has heart. We even met the owner, Travis, and his mom, Miss Teresa. We can’t remember the waitresses name- we think it was Miss Karen— genuinely good people running a family business the right way. That alone makes you want to support them. We even booked the room for our retirement party in July. They have catering, too!
Bonus points:
✔ Tons of parking
✔ Super clean
✔ Friendly staff
✔ Buffet + full menu options
✔ Extra rooms for private parties, events, and catering
✔ Prices that are more than fair
This is one of those places you almost want to keep to yourself… but it’s too good not to share.
We’ll absolutely be back. Good food, good people, great memories.
Highly recommend. ❤️

Catered an event we hosted and it was amazing food and service. Highly recommend thePulled pork🔥
Came.for breakfast and dinner. Just a small little eatery. Food was great service was fantastic. In the morning even though we were true strangers to the area we were treated like one of the locals.
Prices arent bad and potions are decent size.
This is not your typical run of the mill small town tiny local eatery. This is a true hidden gem worth stopping at and trying at least one.
BTW if you order the pancakes.....be prepared to eat nothing else. Two are about big enough to fill up the biggest country boy.
