Emma's Family Restaurant, situated across from Cracker Barrel on Interstate 24, offers a buffet and by-plate food ordering. The restaurant is known for its clean environment and is often visited by locals, including fire department personnel. The menu features hearty "big man" food, a salad bar, and the standout dessert, "OMGoodness, the best strawberry shortcake." It is kid-friendly and wheelchair accessible, with normal-height dining tables and moveable chairs. Southern dishes like fried chicken, peach cobbler, banana pudding, and chocolate cake remain popular choices. The home-cooked food and friendly service have earned the restaurant positive reviews, making it a recommended stop for travelers. While many enjoy the buffet, some recent reviews mention mixed experiences with breakfast items, like the Western omelette and scrambled eggs, suggesting that some meals might be hit or miss. Overall, Emma's Family Restaurant continues to be a favorite for its good food and attentive service.
