This was a great find. We pulled over just because we thought the building was cool. Little did we know we walked into an old school style all you can eat buffet. The owner sang to us and was super friendly. Food was pretty good too. We are going back soon.

Fantastic, eclectic place with great fried chicken and the rest of the buffet is also great. Potato salad, pork chop and sweet potato also personal favourites. Bring a business card and join the wall

Mr. D. knows how to cook and his servers are great.I once drove 3 hours to get 50 pieces of chicken for a family reunion. It went first. Never a regret. I did call ahead for my order as I didn't want the people dining in to be shorted.It's my favorite place for a well rounded meal in Mississippi.

Not exactly sure what happened. I dropped a review last week and now it's gone. Anyway... I'm really amazed at the high ratings this place is getting. I know it has history and it's been on TV or something, but ok there then the chicken the food is terrible. And even the chicken isn't the best I've have. So not exactly sure what everybody is raving about. Yes, there was definitely a lot of options in the buffet. The ribs were just okay, not smoked or anything. Looks like they came out of the oven. The other meats I couldn't really tell what they were. The mac & cheese and coleslaw tasted spoiled. It took one bite of both and didn't finish the rest. The place had a very interesting atmosphere with business cards posted everywhere. Other than them making you wash your hands before you ate, the place seemed very dirty. For that price I would definitely not recommend going here.

Forgot to leave a review last time I was here. Best fried chicken in the world, and Mr. D is a treasure. Service was quick and this is the best place to stop if you are just traveling through or making a day trip out to Rodney and/or Port Gibson. Itching to go back.

I was totally disappointed. The vegetables had no seasoning and the only thing was good the crust of the chicken. Order pecan pie and got small round pie that look like it came out of a little Debbie box. Will never go back

If you get within 50 miles of this place it is worth it. Perfect Southern comfort food in all categories, Mr. D is a delight, and this place is an experience, not just a restaurant. Amazing buffet!!

Best fried chicken ? in Mississippi. Southern food at its best served here. Great service. Country southern relaxed atmosphere.

Amazing food and a truly friendly and wonderful staff. You absolutely must stop by the Old Country Store if traveling through Lorman, Mississippi. Best fried chicken around!! Highly recommended.

What a Southern treasure! The fried chicken is superb and the cobblers are to die for. Hand washing AND sanitizing is a must upon entering before heading to the buffet. Mr. D, a true Southern gentleman, is quite charming and adept at serenading the ladies! Very enjoyable! Highly recommend!!

This was not a good experience! Food was cold, WAY overpriced. The place was extremely dirty and we were required to wash our hands before we could sit and then use hand sanitizer before getting our food. We basically paid $21 for a piece of chicken. The young lady was very rude. She was talking on the phone with it on speaker and continued her phone conversation while checking us out.

This was my second visit to The Old Country Store with 5 years in between. As with any spot like this, you're coming for the venue and the food.The setting, building, and people are more than worth the stop. We were mid week lunch for this trip and traffic was light and Mr D wasn't there this trip. However, the people working were fantastic and the vibe remains great.The food - All of the food I had on both trips has been good. All seasoned well, the selections are very traditional and welcome. While everyone talks about the fried chicken, I enjoyed other items just as much (yams, cucumber and tomato salad, cornbread dressing, hocks and greens.)The Chicken - When fresh out, it is very good, almost like a cracker crumb crist, moist throughout and tasty. Pieces are also on the larger side than most spots.As with any buffet - traffic dictates turn. When we first arrived (wednesday lunch), the chicken hadn't been refreshed, was good and moist but lacked some crunch as you would expect. About mid way through lunch, they called fresh chicken and it's worth the wait.Would I drive out of my way for the food alone? probablyWould I for the overall within an hour of my route? yesParking: If you're in an RV or Trailering there were spots on either side of the road that provide a good amount of room.

It was a big disappointment! Food had no flavor and was not worth the trip! Very disappointed! Ask to use bathroom told no unless we were eating! Then decide to eat and told to go wash our hands! It was way overpriced!

My family has never had a bad experience here before, but today was not good. The plates, silverware, and cups were dirty. Service was poor. It could be a one off, but I will not be coming back here when I'm visiting home again. The one positive I will say is that they ask you to wash your hands when you arrive and then sanitize them again before going to the buffet. This seems like a bit of a moot point though when dishes and silverware are not clean.
