Small selection on the buffet for $50 plus. Bathrooms were not clean. The restaurant was dusty. I mean I could have written my name in the dust. Spider webs underneath the chairs. The server was nice and friendly. Stopped because of the high reviews but I was extremely disappointed. We will not be back.
We had a great time! Hospitality and food was 10/10. Would definitely recommend! We will definitely be back if we ever travel that way again!!

The Old Country Store offers a nostalgic dining experience, with a menu that evokes the comforts of homemade Southern cuisine. The fried chicken, a signature dish, is praised for its hot, crispy, juicy, and well-seasoned flavor, making it a must-try for visitors. The sides include the expected salad bar and vegetable options, while the peach cobbler and ice cream are highly recommended desserts. Visitors often enjoy the friendly singing of the chef, who has been frying chicken for over thirty years and puts his heart into his cooking. The buffet-style service provides ample portions, though some guests have noted that the food can sometimes be less than piping hot or inconsistent in quality. The restaurant has a historic general store atmosphere filled with character, stories, and a sense of love. Guests love the crispy, flavorful skin and juicy meat of the fried chicken, as well as the tasty collard greens, cornbread, and cobbler with ice cream. The owner is described as very friendly, and the atmosphere is cool and lovely, making it a memorable and intriguing dining destination, especially for those seeking a homestyle experience with a touch of history.
