    Fried chicken w candid yams, cornbread, and fries
    Carly P.

    Real southern cornbread! Fried Okra is not pictured but defiantly a must. The Togo is in the back of the gas station

    Beef rib, Mac-n-cheese and potato salad
    Tiffaby H.

    The food is great with a few minor issues. But overall the taste is great, the quality is good, and the service is excellent. We had the smoked Beef Rib, and the smoked prime rib. Our sides were Max-n-cheese, potato salad and collard greens. Now for the excellent parts, the sides were very good and they don't cook their vegetables with PORK! Huge plus! The greens were seasoned well and you could taste the garlic and it wasn't overpowering. The potato salad was awesome! I do t like traditional mustard potato salad and this was a cross between mustard and German and maybe ranch... great taste and fresh! The Mac-n-cheese tasted like grandmas Màc the only thing it's a little dry. They may need to add a little more butter and cream for a less dry texture but the FLAVOR is perfect! Just the right amount of pepper and not over salted or sugared. The prime rib was smoked well and tender! The beef rib was nice, not as pictured but about 4/6oz of meat on the bone. All was tender! It could have used a coast of seasonings while on the smoker... but the smoke was awesome! I personally make the nest beef ribs, but these won't disappoint anyone looking for beef rib. I only suggest that for the price you should get at least two! I've paid less for far larger ribs in Texas, and this is as close to Texas ribs as you're gonna get around here. Now the one bad thing... there was NO AIR FLOW! We wanted to eat in because we don't live in the area and it was stifling. We are hurriedly and couldn't really relax to enjoy the food. Also, our table wasn't properly cleaned. There were left over straw sleeve from someone previously and no napkins. We just got napkins from a near by table but with Covid they should be more mindful of cleaning tables entirely and properly.

    Chicken tettrazini with unmelted cheese and looks more like soup

    Ordered chicken tettrazini on September 28, 2023. Yet when I got home and opened container, this is what I found. The cheese is not even melted, noodles and broth look more like a soup and only 4 small pieces of chicken were included in this gob. The pictures say it all. Money wasted and still hungry

    Wonderful buffet experience. You don't hear that from me, and likely anyone else very often, but in…read morethis case, it is the truth! I am not sure how I have never found this place before now, but I can tell you that everyone else has. This place was packed! Parking was a nightmare. I cut off a cop and stole his parking spot. Yea! Stick it to the man, Adam! Giant community tables full of buffet goers. I wasn't sure if I could find a seat. I was impressed by the size at that point and then realized on the way out there was a whole second floor as well. It is freaking huge! When you pay, there is a little old lady that douses your hands with sprays of sanitizer. I did not care to partake, she did not care, and insisted. We aren't buddies. You can see the stank face she gave me. I don't care though, hater gonna hate. The buffet is rich with country foods. I was in love from the jump. Fast moving buffet food is my jam. They had all the things I like and tons of other things you folks like. I made two trips, I barely got most of the second down so I didn't get to enjoy dessert. That's ok, I like protein way better than sweet things. Thank you Allah for statin drugs! I had all the fried things! Fried chicken livers are some of my faves, especially if there is mashed potatoes and gravy involved. The fried chicken itself was great. Hell it was all good. I see why it's so damn busy. I think it was like $16 maybe. That's with a drink and endless food and dessert. My server was such a sweet lady and the bus staff were great too. They made sure you didn't want for anything and never had a dirty plate in front of you. I will be back as soon as possible. Planning a visit now! '26 - 102

    The young man at the car rental station said I needed to try this place. He said they were closed…read moreon Monday so I didn't even try to go (I don't think they were closed). I wanted to go Tuesday but coworkers didn't want to go out. Tried to go Wednesday but they were closed for dinner. My flight was leaving later in the day on Thursday and I had to try to go. Online it said they were open at 10 am. I checked out of the hotel and headed to the restaurant. There were already a lot of people waiting for them to open. To my surprise they opened at 10:30. When the doors opened people were "fighting" to get inside. This is a buffet setting. You pay before eating. To go plates are available for purchase. There is an upstairs eating area. I think there were 3 hot stations, a cold station, and a desert station and an ice cream machine. All the food looked so good. I had to get a little taste of everything. The fried chicken and fried chicken livers were Hands down my favorite things. I like greens that are tangy with a little spicy - these were not that. The cornbread was hard couldn't eat it. Everything else was ok. Nothing that I had that "gotta go back for more" feeling (except the chicken). There were so many offerings, and they have Pepsi products. They have a drink station but The servers bring you drinks. I definitely would go back again if I'm in the area.
