“One of the best country buffets I've been to due to a variety of fried, baked,and vegetarian options. It was worth the drive!We visited during lunch hours.Service was superb! Waitresses were attentive.Cooks were always asking how do items taste.Fresh food was brought out often. I wish other restaurants cared about what we thought about how their food tastes. Furthermore, I will be back soon with my family. Thanks for a wonderful meal!“

“Can you please add gravy or no gravy to the chicken and dressing on your menu? I don't like gravy on mine. Also please add more cranberry sauce to the chicken and dressing. The amt. is so scant. Also we need to have a choice of pie when we order. You send whatever you have the most of it seems. And I've ordered tea and haven't got recently. I order fairly frequently from dumplins. I use delivery. The food is good. And the portion sizes are enough for 2 meals for me. Thank you.“

“Jackson TN was the half way point to where we were going. We wanted to stay away from commercial restaurants and saw this place had great reviews. We got chicken strips and pork chops. The chicken strips were very good. Not over cooked at all. The onion rings were also cooked perfectly. The pork chop was so very good. The seasoning was great, it was tender and not dry. Highly recommend.“

“New to town and wanted something fresh for lunch and found this place scrolling around on Google maps. My group tried 3 of their sandwiches and everyone really enjoyed them. Box lunch is a deal that comes with your sandwhich, choice of a side (we did potato and mac salad, potato was the fave), a drink, and a large homemade cookie. Cookies were amazing! Price was 11.50 per box lunch at the time of this review, very reasonable for the quantity and quality of food you get. Also, the ladies behind the counter were nice as can be, new lunch spot for sure!“

There were so many choices for Appetizers we order a bunch of them. By the time we got our Entrée's we were quite full. Brylie, our server was most accommodating and made sure our orders were made to our specifications. She kept coming back to make sure all was fine and kept refilling our glasses. The owner Aaron also came by a few times to make sure we were totally happy with our meals. If you look at the pictures below I'm sure you'll see the portions are Plentiful and L@@k Delicious. I will definitely be returning again and again. Thank you for a Pleasant Experience.“

Food came out decently quickly after ordering for 5. Prices didn't seem too high for what you got. The tenders came with 5 in my meal and two sides which was filling. I would come here again and I recommend the Buffalo Tenders with ranch, they were in-fact fire 🔥“

“Called several times and got hung up on. Finally got ahold of someone, they put me back on hild and said they were slammed and working alone which i can sympathize with, but shouldn't have had such an attitude because i wanted to place an order. We were wondering why the price was so high after the call....they upchanged for both of my sides with shrimp and didn't mention that there would be an upcharge. Walked in to get food and was just standing there while 2 people looked at me. Had to ask the gentleman could someone help me he said I would have to wait on someone else to check out. Waited several minutes only for him to check me out anyways. Rung me up, I paid n he just walked away. Didn't get bread or silverware. We eat here alot and this time was very disappointing. Don't know if we'll be back for a while. That's pricey meals for bad service.

Our waitress finally appeared and we explained to her that another lady had taken our drink orders but she never delivered them. Our original waitress ended up getting our drinks and then took our order. Evidently the original waitress was slammed with customers but when she was able she did check with us frequently asking us if there was anything else we needed. We will return in the future.“
