We came in on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty busy. It's a no-frills space inside but that's what I want in a classic meat and three! There's a menu on the wall with specials and a physical menu a well which was great. Our table had the chicken and dumpling special, fried catfish sandwich, fried okra, mashed and scallop potatoes, green beans, and cornbread. Everything was excellent and you could tell was home cooked. The fish, okra, mashed potatoes and chicken and dumplings were stand outs though. So good! We decided to grab two pies to go to share with some lucky friends, and got the peanut butter fudge and pecan plus a slice of the lemon meringue. Everything was so good but the peanut butter and pecan is very rich (obviously). Both were excellent but we should've grabbed some vanilla ice cream. The lemon meringue was excellent, and if we had known you need to order it in advance to get a whole pie we would've! Now we know for next time. Be sure to stop by The Rose Garden if you are in the area for excellent homemade southern cooking!

We've gotten the buffet both times. The buffet is only around $10. I think it's pretty good for that price. I haven't had anything bad here. I like their fried chicken. It's not overcooked or undercooked. The flavor is also good. The skin has a nice crunch to it. I also didn't think their bbq ribs were bad, either. It was nice and tender. I haven't had a bad side dish here. So I really don't have complaints about their sides. They also had a nice salad bar going. They had a lot on their salad bar. The staff were also pretty friendly. Will definitely be back if I'm ever in the area again!

They are open from 5:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. 7 days a week. The service is fast and friendly. Portions are large. You will not leave hungry. I got the Country Boy breakfast. For $9.99 it comes with two eggs, hash browns, gravy, choice of toast or biscuit, and choice of meat. I got the tenderloin and biscuit (you get 2 biscuits and 2 nice pieces of tenderloin). My husband ordered the 3 egg meat lovers omelet. It was very flavorful and full of sausage ham and bacon. The meat to egg ratio was equal. For $8.00 it came with choice of toast or biscuits. I would say these are the best prices in a 100 Mile radius . Yummy southern cooking. The dining room is large and open with tons of seating. The parking lot is huge with plenty of parking. I will definitely return.

Read my reviews and you'll see that B&G is a frequent mention, especially when I travel away from home. And if there was a Mount Rushmore for B&G, I'm would put Family Ties' up on it... right next to Mom's Restaurant in Franklin, Ohio (formerly located in Red Lion). , Small order for $4.95. Large for $5.95. I added two eggs over easy. This is 2026 pricing! The plate came out looking unassuming. I ordered a small plate which is one open face biscuit with plenty of Gravy on top. (I didn't take a pic because I was in the small booth next to what I assume is the back door. The sun was casting shadows so I missed a great photo op). Looks are deceiving. This is some seriously good stuff. So simple but Sooooooo Good. Please don't ever change this recipe. I will be back!

All these years we lived about 30 minutes away and never have been there... that changes now! It is worth the drive. HH & I arrived at 11:30am Thursday and the place was packed! Great sign for us. It was seat yourself, but we needed 4 seats. So while we waited by the door two men sitting at a 6 'top' table heard we would need the bigger table so they moved to a two top and gracefully gave us the 6 top. Very nice of them! Our server was the adorable MISSY! What a hoot! The visiting cousin was with her new fiancé and we were just meeting him that day. (He is a GREAT guy with a funny sense of humor... we approve;) Missy and David (fiancé) hit it off and she knew who 'pick on', and we all had great laughs! So much so that I think other people were leaning in to hear the jokes and fun stories! Cousin is GF and Missy was terrific in following up on her requests. Cousin & Fiancé each had the same breakfast eggs & meats plate that looked yummy! HH & I enjoyed our food as well. I had the Club Sandwich with tots. It was perfect! HH is a Meat loaf loving guy and heartily loved it with the fried okra. (The former TX guy loves him some fried okra)) We were having so much fun I forgot pictures of our plates All in all it was a wonderful visit made even better by Missy! 2.5 hours later we had to say good bye but agreed to be back!
