Farmhouse Cafe is our go to lunch spot whenever in the area and we have never been disappointed! We…read morewere greeted and seated immediately. They warm up the table with this amazing cornbread & hot rolls Today I had the fried catfish with fries and coleslaw. It was deliciously light & flaky but so filling I only ate 1 filet. The coleslaw was the best I've ever had! Ever! And I don't normally eat/like hush puppies but I always try and thumbs up; different from what I've tried in years past. My husband had the chicken fried steak with okra & mashed potatoes which I got a 'it was good' response which really means... he ate all of it with no complaints. Lol very rare to get a 'fantastic' or 'delicious' outta him. There are no booths, which is my preferred dining experience but we're not here for the comfort! The table was a little wobbly but I didn't care, I love staring at the pie shelf while dining! Nicely country style decorum. Great food delivered quickly with a smile! prices are inline with the quality/quantity! Thank you! Happy New Year!

Finally we had banana pie and coconut pie as dessert. I know we ordered lots of fried food and it was good. The pies were not good. The banana was all brown and the coconut time was so thick and not good at all. I will go back if I visited the town again

I feel like I have to give this place 5 stars. The food is 4 to 4.5 (so far) but the fact that it's…read moretiny, local, family run, everything made from scratch just pushes it up that extra notch. Chicken fried chicken was juicy and properly seasoned and the best we'd ever had. Ditto for the green beans and the okra. She wouldn't tell us what she puts in the green beans, but it's some combination of bacon grease and magic, I swear. The okra was fresh cut, fresh battered, fresh fried, unlike every other place I get it where you can tell it's out of a bag. Hot water cornbread was ah-mazing. I only wish I had honey to slather on it along with the butter. White gravy was fantastic, with just a hint of sweetness we couldn't quite put our finger on. Chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes were delicious, but also the only things I can say were on par with some of our other favorites. Prices are extremely reasonable. And the service is as down home and personal as you would expect at a place like Sylvia Mae's. But don't expect quick delivery of your food. Everything is made to order and it takes time, so settle in and be patient. We will definitely return here as often as we can when we are in the area.

Occasionally you stumble upon something truly special. This unassuming small business is exactly…read morewhat you want it to be. It is a meeting place, a comfort zone, a haven of good nature and community. The food is simple and good. The person providing the food is honest and real. This establishment is a lifeline of stability in an otherwise downtrodden neighborhood. THIS is the reason we have yelp...to discover and highlight businesses that actually deserve recognition. Sylvia Mae's is all of these things and more. Go visit...manage expectations and enjoy the moment. There aren't many places like this left.

My sister and I were passing through Crockett and decided to stop at Davy Crockett Grill. As we…read morewere walking up to the restaurant I stop a couple leaving and asked what was good to eat there. She told me everything was good. We walked inside and the staff told us we could sit wherever we wanted. Our waitress came over and was very nice and chatted with us for a bit. We told her we're passing through and our reason for being in Groveton. She gave two referrals for attorneys and that's just what we needed. I wish I could remember our waitress's name. As far as the food, everything was delicious. They give complimentary fried pork rinds that are made in house. We had two boats of them and got a bag to take home. My sister and I both ordered the fried catfish and fries. Great flavor and not greasy. I would recommend Davy Crockett Grill to anyone.

They do have an overflow room that can accommodate a larger group.

Today's choices were liver & onions, beef tips & rice, chicken spaghetti, collards, scalloped potatoes, corn and pinto beans. I ordered the liver & onions, scalloped potato, collards and cornbread. My husband ordered the beef tips & rice as well as the collards and pinto beans. Everything was so delicious but my favorites were the beef tips & rice and the scalloped potatoes. Th restaurant is simple but very clean and the service is polite and attentive. I would definitely come back. I heard they have oxtail on Saturday....oohhh La la!!!!

If you want a drink that is extra. If you want something other than fast food but more like what you would cook at home - try it. Everything that my husband and I had I can cook better at home. For starters, I would buy fresh mustard/turnip greens to cook and not get mine from a can. Same with the sweet potatoes. The rice was instant rice that was not cooked properly and was crunchy. When I asked for rice and gravy, the young woman serving me looked confused because there was no "gravy" selection and I had to point to the gravy with the hamburger steak- which by the way was frozen hamburger patties, not fresh hamburger meat hand shaped. So, if that sounds like good home cooking, go for it. I'll probably just stay home and cook.

The salad stuff was fresh and the dressings were all good. On the hot side of the buffet they had chicken friend steak, ham, turkey and dressings, bbq brisket and friend chicken. Everything was excellent! The sides were all great. I imagine their homemade pies are amazing but I was too full to try any of them! I will 100% be back anytime I am nearby!!!

My dad has been coming here for years, I believe this was my first time…read more My dad went for the buffet, and I ordered a la carte. First, the service was excellent, I believe our server was named Presley. Very kind, always checking on us and keeping our water and tea full. On the buffet, my dad enjoyed the salad he had, but was surprised at the little variety offered that day. He said last time he was there with my brother there was more to choose from. He then got the fried chicken, which was greasy and barely any chicken on the thigh. I tried to find a drumstick but it was just breasts, thighs and a few wings. He did like the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. As for the fried okra, you have to eat it fresh. It is sitting under a heat lamp just makes it soggy and slimy. I ordered 4 vegetables a la carte which came out to be as much as the all you can eat buffet. First, their onion rings are OUTSTANDING! So is their homemade ranch. What was disappointing was the green beans, they definitely came out of a can and were heated. At $3.99 I expected fresh. There may have been a small piece of onion in it. Not sure if that was how it was cooked or if it fell in from another dish. The black-eyed peas were tasty. I also had a cup of the chicken corn chowder which was good. However, there was pieces of cubed chicken in it which also made me think that it was a prepackaged soup and not homemade. My dad got the coconut cream pie, which tasted good, but could have used more coconut then just on the top. He wanted bread pudding or peach cobbler, however at the time of day we were there, they had been picked over way too much, not leaving much for anyone else to enjoy. I did like the selections in the gift shop and purchased a tea towel before we left. I always like to try a place 3 times so I may stop in and try something else. Again, great customer service.
