    We were just passing through and saw this on Yelp. Stopped in to eat lunch. Lots of cars…read more Buffet. Needed more meat choices, but the fried chicken was good. The Brussel sprouts were way too salty for my taste and so were the green beans. The mashed potatoes and yam patties were good. I would have liked the bread to have been warm The service was good. Our server was efficient and the tea was good Would stop again if in the area at the right time. Lots of hometown people go there. It was friendly enough

    And we now come to the tale of the wrong turn, and how it led me to a cool restaurant with an…read moreawesome name! I've run many trips to Montgomery Alabama, and I'm always looking another exciting way back to Mobile, mostly because Interstate 65 is some of the most boring road you'll ever drive, unless you're a big fan of trees. So I took a right turn I didn't intend and hit US 331 and found myself in a cute town called Highland Home, with "It Don't Matter Family Restaurant". I mean, with a name like that, how could I not stop?! So I parked on that very rainy afternoon, and went inside for something to eat. Now, this is exactly what you think of when you think of southern cooking. The menu was extensive and had everything you could want. Tables were spread out across the giant floor area, covered in table cloths. There is a buffet, for those with a large appetite. Very country, quaint and quiet. So I checked in on Yelp (Pro-tip: make sure you do this upon being seated). I perused the menu, and decided on the chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and fried okra. My waitress was friendly, and quickly took the order to the kitchen, and it arrived shortly after. This was a great choice! The chicken was juicy, and the breading was seasoned perfectly, the potatoes are the real deal, and the fried okra was some of the best I've ever had. The menu and the buffet were both full of choices, so I'm looking forward to going back and seeing what other southern culinary trouble I can get into.
