    Western sandwich
    Robert R.

    Arrived on a Wed am about 9:30 am. No waiting for a table. Wait staff were super friendly. I ordered a Western Omelette served on a English Muffin. How'd they do that? They tucked in the edges. It tasted like an omelette. The pressure needed to bite through the muffin turned it into potential mess. But it worked out. Prices were good, a friendly place. Worth going back to

    Bacon Cheddar BBQ Burger

    Stopped in on my way outta town for lunch. My 1st time visiting and plan to return for breakfast when I'm back in MB! This is a cute lil diner that sits on the corner of a strip mall. I arrived around 12n on Monday Oct 10th. It was not busy at all, only a few other guests enjoying their meals. I got a table immediately and the server was about 3 steps behind me as I sat down. I cannot recall her name but she was friendly and pleasant! Thoroughly enjoyed my juicy cheddar bacon cheeseburger, hot crispy seasoned fries and deliciously made sweet tea! The restaurant was clean as well as the restroom! I definitely recommend giving them a try!

    I had the French toast and a side of sausage. Both were excellent. Our waitress was very nice. I'll be back soon.

    Great Service and okay food!…read more We went to Paula Deen's during the afternoon so it was pretty slow which was nice! As soon as we walked in we got greeted by the super friendly staff in the gift shop! Then we took the escalators upstairs to the restaurant area (the building was very clean as well). We went upstairs got seated right away. There menus work by a family style buffet. But one thing they will inform you, YOU CAN NOT TAKE ANYTHING TO-GO besides desert!! We ordered a variety of things! (Listed in pictures along with a menu). Overall the service was amazing! Our waitress was great checking on us often, refilling drinks etc. The food was alright! We were a little disappointed in the Country fried steak (seemed a bit tough), Mac and Cheese and Meatloaf (both seemed to be sitting for a while before we were served). The fried okra and fish were very good though! Would highly recommend those! Then we got one of each of the deserts (picture below). The Banana pudding and Ooey gooey butter cake were our favorites!! Very good!! After we ate, we went back down t

I used to watch her cooking show all the time back when I had cable and food network. It was a pleasant surprise when we walked in that she was there!!! It was a long line to have her sign her cookbook and take a picture with her. Being pregnant and hungry, I settled for admiring her from afar, but I was stoked to see her and it made me more excited to try her restaurant. The shop is downstairs and the restaurant seating is on second floor. They have an elevator and an escalator that takes you up there. Our waiter explained to us the concept of the restaurant, which is like a family dining Buffet. You choose your price point by selecting the number of dishes you want to eat, and it is unlimited. We chose "The Savannah" which allowed us to get 3 meats and 4 sides. We ordered the fried chicken, catfish and ribs for our proteins, and the collard greens, mac and cheese, cheesy grits and fried okra as our sides. Whenever you want more, you simply tell your waiter to bring you another order of the particular side or protein you want. Since it is a buffet, keep in mind that you cannot take anything to go. I feel like our eyes were bigger than our stomach and we wasted so much food. Overall, the food was not as spectacular as I had imagined. It was bland "southern" food that lacked the soulfulness I expected. Everything could have used more seasoning. It was so disappointing! It made me think, did Paula actually go to the kitchen and taste this food? Because she surely would not approve and it has her name on it! The "best thing" if I had to say there was a best, was the fried chicken, grits and collard greens. The complimentary biscuits were thick and dry. The catfish was thin and fried too hard. The mac and cheese was watery. The ooey gooey butter cake was good, but very thin. I can say that unless they get a real southern chef that can throw down, I don't have to come again.

The mimosa flight is a fun way to start the meal--bright, refreshing, and even topped with playful touches like candy that make it feel a little extra special without being over the top. It's definitely one of those menu items you order just for the experience as much as the drink itself. The breakfast bowls are the real star here though. Packed, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, they come together in a way that feels both hearty and fresh at the same time. Every bite delivers, and it's the kind of meal that keeps you thinking about coming back before you've even left.

We were immediately seated and we had a good waitress. Food wise, this place clearly has its hits and misses. The Hits: The Smoked Salmon Benedict-a great portion size and made perfectly well The Grits- OMG, if I could have licked the bowl they came in I would have The Coffee- tasted great, nice and strong The Misses: Pancakes-a little mushy, could have been cooked a little while longer Corned Beef Benedict- found the corned beef to be very dry I was not a fan at all Mimosa- fantastic that it is made with fresh squeezed orange juice, but also could use a little more champagne. I would have given it 3 1/2 stars if Yelp Allowed me, I would come back again in the future and try other menu items.
