Reen K.

This was my first time at this restaurant. I haven't been to a buffet, in a while. The restaurant is really well kept, the taste of the food was decent, and the employees were very friendly and attentive. It's a very busy restaurant, and very family oriented. Since I don't eat much of buffets, but if I did want to dine here again, I would.

Great food for a great price! Greens, Fried green tomatoes, fried chicken, pulled pork, fruit's and veggies, mashed potatoes, Banana pudding, buttermilk pie, peach cobbler and that's just a few of the things that found there way to my plate. Honestly for an all you can eat place the food is fantastic! Food turn around is fast as there are lots of patrons who eat here. Bottom line is this place is a gem.

Inexpensive buffet in Newnan. They specialize in Southern style food. Yummy. The fried chicken seems to be everyone's favorite, but I like the oven roasted chicken. Tons of sides - mashed potatoes, greens, corn, collards, etc. The restaurant can be quite chaotic during busy times and long waits, you can see why once you smell the food! Lots of parking. Restrooms are clean and decent (especially for a busy family establishment). Service is actually really really good, they always refill drinks, check on you, and take away your plates... 100 points to team Fried Tomatoes!

I'm not a fan of buffet's at all, but the buzz around town for good southern cooked food and desserts kept calling my name. Upon arriving, the feeling of buffet vibes had me skeptical...however after sinking my teeth into some of little bit of everything; fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, green beans, cabbage, yams, mac & cheese, and more. Your RIGHT...I over did it! I had no room for the fresh hot peach cobbler (which is what I came for) . The food tasted like big mama's cooking, good ole down south food. So yes, I'm going back when I don't feel like cooking my own southern meal. By far, service was excellent! The waitress served up our drinks quick and was on top of our refills, without us even asking. Establishment was clean, with a family quiet vibe. FYI, take out meals available. Load up a to go box, weigh it on their scale, pay and go! By far the best buffet! My favorite, is the fried green tomatoes!

I was hating on this place lmaooo. I am not gonna lie, idk if the pictures do it Justice but this was fire fire fire lol. So it takes on an older crowd but I appreciate that, cause all I see is frugal beautiful people. You pay before you eat, my mom paid this go round so I ain't exactly sure, but I know it was around $50 for 4 of us to take part of this DELICIOUS BUFFET. Lemme break it down best I can, (I know imma do my review as sooner to the time I eat the food)-- fire: chicken, yams, cabbage; good: Mac and cheese, peach cobbler, cookie, greens. The service is great to and they keep that food fresh about every 15 min. Need to find a better drink option with all that tastiness they got though. And they got a salad bar

Anyone who enters will immediately be offered to to be seated. They keep their service simple as possible. Party size, drink preference, and you're good to go! Lunch is generally busy at this place so food on the bar gets replenished frequently, so expect fresh food during those hours! Also, pay special attention to the dish, Walnut Chicken, it is the best!

It's not an upscale buffet whatsoever but we were just excited to try the food. Well the overall food experience was just disappointing. Lo mein noodles had no flavor, rice noodles were ICE COLD, honey chicken/chicken and broccoli/ general tso chicken/ pepper chicken was lackluster and straight mushy. The chicken wings and dumplings tasted good but yet again the dumplings were COLD. My boyfriend was disappointed that there were no fresh fruit, he said they were just straight canned fruits and no taste. We were just overall disappointed. I would say spend the extra 5-10 dollars and find another buffet with flavorful and hot food.

I think my toddler could eat it as well if he'd been there but the flavor was very refreshing and it was enough that I could've eaten just that I got the eggplant special which came with long slices of grilled eggplant with meat and bell peppers and a side of rice. Their rice was a bit dry but it went well with the sauce - they said it's their 3/5 spice but id call it a high mild. If you like spicy food, you're going to have to ask for whatever I'd past their idea of 5/5 spice lol since my toddler was home, I dumped a ton of chili oil, dried chili powder and sambal onto my food from the sauce bucket on the table The egg rolls were awesome. The dipping sauce is interesting - looks like syrup but it tastes like sweet and sour sauce so I think they make it in house without the typical food coloring so ++ for that The coconut cheesecake is a small slice of basque style cheesecake and it wasn't sweet at all but not a strong coconut flavor though. My mom loves coconut cake so we'll try that one next time We also got the brisket noodle soup & my mom really enjoyed it. The service was great - our server was Thai and spoke fluently in both languages. Its got a small town feel with generous portions and likeable staff The parking was easy - it's all street but it wasn't crowded so we parked out front

We used to eat at M.L.'s prior location near the movie theater in Ashley Park occasionally. A few…read moreyears ago, they shut down and pursued a different restaurant venue in Newnan. We learned a couple of months ago that they were apparently re-opening M.L.'s in a new location on Hwy 34 a few miles east of Newnan. We put it on our list to check out after the holidays. We called when they opened (for lunch) and made a dinner reservation for that evening (a Saturday). We arrived around 5:30 p.m. Parking is in an adjacent lot which seemed to fill up quickly. We found a space. There appeared to be other parking lots semi-adjoining this, so you can probably find a space nearby if their main lot is full. The layout here is a bar up front with a large, high-ceilinged dining space behind (and another separate 'party room' up front, I think). The open plan makes the acoustics a bit loud. We had eaten in this space once before in one of its prior restaurant incarnations. We were seated in a far corner. Our server was chatty and checked on us often at first (less so as the place filled up, as he got busier). The acoustics led to them mis-hearing my wife's wine order, but they quickly fixed that. Our salads came out quickly and the entrees lagged a bit due to the place filling up (understandable). By the time we were half done, I think every table was taken. Reservations are advisable, definitely. My fettuccini was quite good. At the end, we split a dessert, which took quite a while to arrive. The price was a bit higher than I remembered from the old location (maybe that's just inflation?). It seemed to be in that zone of not-quite-fine-dining but almost-fine-dining-prices. It wasn't too out of line, but I may not go back here just on a whim. I *will* very likely be back, though.

If I could leave less than 1 star, I would. The food was of shockingly low quality. We got the…read morewhole story about the owner and his mom and her picture and yada dada da but the food fell incredibly short of authentic. We were a large party and ordered all over the menu. The items were as follows: Eggplant Parmesan: lacking sauce and it was served on a bed of overcooked and naked angel hair noodles. I couldn't believe they weren't even al dente and the water wasn't even salted. Chicken Cesar salad: hard to mess this one up and I can't say I'm disappointed. It was exactly what I expected and I'm glad to have played it safe Barramundi: this was NOT barramundi. This was tilapia at best. Barramundi is a sea bass. This was thin and overcooked in a "white wine sauce" that tasted like lemon and milk. It was incredibly disappointing Shrimp scampi: the shrimp was overcooked and they tasted fishy. Low quality and the sauce was lacking that punch of garlic one would look for. Too heavy on the lemon which I assume was intentional to mask the fishy flavor Chicken tenders: wow. Just wow. They were from a package at best. Can you at least obtain something of higher quality? Strawberry salad: seriously?! It was just mixed greens and a few slices of strawberries with plain walnuts. So minimal and not worth the price Garlic bread with mozzarella: O M G. The plate was HUGE. This by far was not made in house. Tasted like Texas toast with a slice of cheese melted on top. Cannoli: burnt shell and overly sweet inside Creme brûlée: one side was firm and the other was soupy. Made me worried about having undercooked eggs and getting sick Chocolate cake: we were literally told this was homemade in house. Cooked from a box is not "homemade" - it's prepared. Low quality, artificial flavor. The coffee was disgusting. I'm sorry. I try to be so polite when leaving reviews but that was by far the worst coffee I have ever had in my life. M Tiramisu: tasted basically like baileys and whipped cream. For an Italian restaurant, you would hope they could at least get this menu item right... but nope. The service was sub par, I think it's because there were so many of us but a lot of things were missed. I asked for a glass of wine and it never came. Another individual had to ask for their beer multiple times, just to be brought a glass of red wine.... And then they still forgot about the beer to make it right. The servers were nice, however. I think they probably don't have the tools to succeed and know the food isn't up to the standards it should be Lastly it was HOT and HUMID in the room. The thermostat didn't work and we were told it barely works at all. That was disappointing and made for an even more uncomfortable experience. *oh, and for yall that think the portion sizes are small... they are HUGE which would have been amazing if the food was good. Portion sizes don't matter if the food is not worth eating. I would not patron this restaurant again. The calories were not worth it at all.

Any host would love for their guests to arrive at this venue. The beautiful flowers at the entrance and the nature path of trees we drove through to reach the parking lot are welcoming. The complimentary shuttle service will bring you from the Two01 parking area to the main building. We were greeted with smiling faces. We were seated with an amazing view of the lake surrounded by nature. Every one of our guests spoke highly about their overall experience and raved about Chef Tara and her assistant chef, and our servers Natalie and Lily. Chef Tara accommodated our party of 15. From our appetizers flatbread w/chicken, spinach and artichoke dip, ceasar salad and chef salad, ribeye steaks, salmon, and sides were all cooked to "Perfection."
