Delicious everything! My favorite was the baked tomatoes and it was the best coleslaw ever (I’m kind of a coleslaw snob). Great service to our school group that included special needs children and just a great experience!

Fun and unique place to have a buffet dinner (lunchtime). The corn bread is delicious!Cobbler is too sweet, but most people like it that way.Serving staff and owners are friendly. Service is excellent.

When you walk in here, you're definitely walking back in time. Just right outside of Thomas Jefferson's home. It's a nice little spot to grab yourself a couple of beers before getting back on highway. It's a small park by itself. You have a new portion that's been built onto it with the definite old vibe that was going on. You had the mill off to the right along with the original store that was there set up for Every day view end of guest. The service was great. People responded very fast. The beers were good. Didn't have time to grab. Anything to eat is we already on our way to dinner. The next time I am out here, I would definitely be sitting down. Grabbing the table and relaxing at the nice dark quaint spot. Heavy around Charlottesville, make sure you stop by on the way out. Definitely, A spot to stop at and relax for a bit.

At $24.95 per person for the buffet, you are paying for the"experience". For that price the wait staff should be in period dress. The waitress was very sweet, but it was serve a yourself buffet. She offered to bring you extra servings to the table or refill your drinks. It was not worth the price.

Once you step through the door, you go back in time. You will be offered a delicious Southern Style Buffet and provided outstanding service by Dilan and Katherine! They epitomize Southern Hospitality! I highly recommend this wonderful Dining Experience!

this place is a must go when i come for the summer. unfortunately last time i went, food was mediocre which was suprising since the other previous years it was scrumptious. food is quite expensive and not a lot of options (of course buffet) service is always friendly and great atmosphere as well.
