Waited 15 minutes at table, place wasn’t super crowded, never had anyone even ask if I wanted water or drink.

Was on a business road trip from Austin to Houston for the dealership I worked at. Me and the coworker who were assigned to do the trip stopped here to eat and take a break. I ended up ordering a chicken sandwich and it was one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. It tasted traditional but with much of flavor and juiciness you expect from fine dining even though this place gave off Cracker Barrel vibes. The service was amazing and the atmosphere was relaxing and it was pouring rain outside. If I ever come to Columbus TX or be in a trip that passes by, I am stopping here to eat. I cannot wait to have a chance to go back once I have an opportunity to do so.

I ate here for the first time last night with my family- 6 in total. Looking forward to a new place. We made our order and didn’t do the buffet because most items didn’t appeal to us. It wasn’t busy when we first came in. Nothing overly complicated, besides a plain and dry burger. As we were waiting we were right by the waitress station. No one stopped to tell us timelines or offer refills. When only 4 meals came and an appetizer only minutes earlier, nothing was said about the other meals. I asked for refills which cups were obviously empty. As staff was rushing by we asked about the other orders now that it was clear they weren't coming….

We all the sudden were meant as if we were an inconvenience. 1 meal came. Then still waiting for the hamburger….other tables got hamburgers order and sat well after us.

Then it came with cheese and my child very hungry just started crying. Again nothing was said. Then a ticket was handed over.

Sadly it was not the experience we expected. But had a conversation happened instead of being left with no information. It would have been appreciated. It is the first time we have ever not left a tip. But again the dynamic changed dramatically at the end and it was truly not enjoyable. The bill was around $120 so not a cheap evening out.

Ate there on a Friday night with less than 25 people seated. Saw 4 waitresses plus greeter/cashier and bus person. Salad bar was ok but the rest of the buffet was nothing to be excited about. Stale, lukewarm/catfish with no cocktail sauce and cold, hard rolls with no butter, to name the most disappointing. Waitress took quite a while to see we were needing assistance and longer to actually bring them to the table. We had almost finished eating by then. Food was very expensive and unfortunately not worth it!! Not much of a Golden Corral fan but the food there has always been warm and tasty. I do not recommend!!

Drove through this part of town on our way home. Came in expecting great things but left disappointed. We stood behind two guys in line to be seated. We were making jokes on how long it was taking. Cashier was checking ppl out and a couple of waitresses walked by. No one acknowledged us!

Finally a WAITRESS came to seat the two men before us-20 minutes on our clock but not knowing how long it was for them. We were seated by another blonde girl who asked if we are waiting to be seated. Duh! We are at the “Wait to be seated “ podium! She seated us but stated the menus were sticky so went to get other ones.
The restaurant was not that busy and we wondered why it took so long to be seated!!?? I literally counted 4 tables with people and 5 tables that were dirty. Yes, a few people left for we saw them check out, but those tables all around our table were not clean. Could we not have been seated somewhere not as messy?

Finally our waitress comes out to take our order.
Nothing fancy. We ordered chicken salad sandwich and fried chicken sandwich with fries. 2 sandwiches! 15 minutes later I get my platter with fries and chicken salad sandwich. It was delicious. Thank God!
Waitress told my spouse he would have to wait a few minutes for his fried chicken sandwich, because the cook didn’t “drop it to be fried yet”.

10 minutes later; Ended up giving my spouse the other 1/2 of my fries and sandwich because his didn’t come out in a timely manner. At this point we didn’t see our waitress again. So, we asked the busboy to get our waitress to inform that we are not needing the FC sandwich, which she stated it should be out very soon. But at this time we both have finished the one meal.

Kudos to the busboy cleaning all the messy tables quickly once he came out!

The food is great! The service was absolutely divine and the atmosphere was great! If you get the chicken fried steak, try the battered fries, you will not be disappointed!

Good menu of plated meals with generous servings, sandwiches,and burgers, plus a buffet option with several protein options, and a large (fresh) salad bar buffet, and several tasty-looking pies. Plenty of options for a satisfying meal. Service was good, as well. There's a small shop at the entrance selling fudge, bulk candies, and candles. Columbus was chosen as a halfway point to meet a friend for lunch. This was a good choice. Worth the trip.
