Unfortunately, my most recent visit was the complete opposite. We were seated all the way in the back near an exit, next to a very large and extremely loud party. There were also flies in the area, which made the seating even less enjoyable. Between the noise, bright lights, and overall atmosphere, it wasn't a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. The hostess told us it would be fine to move to the bar, so we did. However, our waitress seemed very upset that we moved, even though the bar wasn't her section. Before we could even order drinks, the situation became uncomfortable due to the negative attitude and lack of communication. Instead of asking if something was wrong or if there was anything they could do to improve our experience, there seemed to be frustration directed toward us for simply wanting to relocate. What made the experience worse was the staff members were talking about the situation rather than addressing it professionally. At that point, we decided to leave without ordering. I've worked in customer service and understand that busy shifts and large parties can be stressful. However, guests should never feel like an inconvenience for wanting a comfortable place to dine. The difference between my first visit and this one was night and day. I hope management takes this as constructive feedback because the restaurant clearly has the potential to provide excellent service--I experienced it myself on my first visit.

You can tell everyone who works there has a system and I think is family? Honestly I would join their family to eat this food every day. My boyfriend got the meatloaf, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and cookie pudding (like a layered banana pudding that tasted like a fluffy cloud and had the perfect ratio of cream/pudding to vanilla wafers). I got the smothered pork, green beans, and yams with a delicious, perfectly baked strawberry cake with what I'm sure was homemade icing, light and smooth and not too sweet. The pork was so juicy and savory that it just melted in your mouth. The green beans and meatloaf had the BEST seasoning. Every bite made me feel like the critic in Ratatouille who senses his inner child eating at his mom's house. The mac and cheese, corn bread, and mashed potatoes were no slouches either. They were serving Thanksgiving coziness with every morsel. The YAMS. I mean. The light crisp on the surface of the bake, the expert-level control on the cinnamon use, all brought so much warmth to my heart, and I'm pretty sure it healed my soreness from yesterday's hike.

Ordered lunch togo from here today for the first time and WOW was I impressed! Ordered the Vegan Fried Chicken(mushrooms) with a side of Mac n cheese and a small kale salad. The mushrooms were amazingly crispy, the kale salad chocked full of good stuff with a really tasty dressing, and that Mac n cheese was one of the best I've EVER had. Portions were good, I had my leftovers a few hours later for dinner bc it was THAT GOOD. Can't wait to go back to try the other menu items. The big meat eater that was with me tried a bite of everything and said he regretted he'd gotten a burger elsewhere instead! read more

I was picking up a book at the library and it's right next door, they advertised on the sign they have toiletries so I thought they might have toilet paper. I didn't see any so I asked. There was a woman filling a bag with ice cream and told the person behind the counter to get it from the back, the clerk was trying to ask her how much to charge, but she didn't respond and then she left. So the clerk comes back with one roll of toilet paper unwrapped like it was taken from their bathroom. I was like, ok, fine, thinking she might charge me .50¢ or $1. I also was buying a yerba mate drink. She rang it up and it was over $7, I asked how much the drink was she said $3.49, so you are charging me over $3 for a single roll of toilet paper, and she says yes. I said no, I will get toilet paper somewhere else, I am not paying you over $3 for a roll of toilet paper, that's insane. I gave her cash, she was still holding the money in her hand telling me I could get something else. I was so confused why she just didn't take that off, she had not put the money in the register, the transaction was not complete, she was still holding the money. I pointed at the money in her hand, and looked at her as if she was trying to make a simple situation hard. She kept repeating you can get something else, I've already rang it up. I wasn't about to argue with her in front of the small child sitting on the counter. So i said well can I get another drink? Still confused why she just didn't give me my money. So I just left with two yerba mate drinks, so strange. I went around the corner to another store and got 4 rolls of toilet paper in a package for $2.49. Seriously!

The bacon jam was another favorite--we liked it so much that we ordered a large container to take home. I make a bacon vinaigrette dressing from time to time and wanted to try using it, and it turned out perfectly.

The biscuits absolutely live up to the hype. Nothing more to say, definitely order these. Biscuit and Gravy Meal -- $13.99 The biscuit was easily a 7 out of 5. Seriously, that good. The gravy was good as well, and the whole meal really hit the spot. Countryman Bowl -- $14.99 This one was just okay. There was plenty of bacon and ham, but the potatoes were cold and tasted like they had been sitting under a heat lamp before being thrown onto the plate. If the potatoes and eggs had been served hot, this could have been very good. As served, it was just average. Unfortunately, the service took a sharp turn after we ordered. Our server never came back to the table, our drinks remained empty for the rest of the meal, the coffee we ordered never arrived, and the kids' side of bacon was never brought out. Overall, The Buttered Biscuit has excellent biscuits, a clean dining room, and a promising start to service but the experience needs more consistency.
