Absolute garbage. Sorry but I was hoodwinked by locals and I took my out of state family to give it a try. I was so embarrassed. The food was absolutely less than cafeteria grade. read more

The setting is clean and neat. The staff is extremely welcoming and polite. They were quick to refill drinks and assist with anything. The atmosphere is a diverse cross section of the community. The patrons were all happy, having great conversations and they had good music playing. I would highly recommend eating here. Especially because the food is fresh and the desert selection is awesome!!! We'll return if passing through Brookhaven in the future. read more

Poppa's Buffet & Grill - The fried pickles, fries, and shrimp are amazing - Seafood Near Me - Brookhaven, Mississippi

Stopped in for lunch from the recommendation from my customer. I was traveling from Madison, MS to Hammond, LA. It was a quick lunch so buffet was a perfect option! I will say that the vast variety of food available was overwhelming! I think I was only able to try a fraction of what was available. Great for a quick stop while on the road! read more

Excellent food and service! Friendly staff. Glass was always We were just passing through but would come back if ever in the area read more

Very good selection of food (We went on a Saturday night). Service was great as well.

I was visiting Brookhaven for a week and was told by locals this was the place that one must try when here. I am glad I took their advice. The food was great, some of the best fried catfish! The service was prompt and friendly. I made a few trips to Poppa's firming my visit. If you want great variety of good food, you need to try Poppa's Buffet. read more

My first time here and it was Great! Huge selection to choose from whether main course, sides, desserts or salad bar. Service was outstanding...kept the drinks filled and keep asking if needed anything. Will definitely be back and highly recommend. read more

The food was good some off it was a lil salty for my taste but my favorites was backed fish, boiled shrimp, crab salad, Mac and cheese and crab bites ... Boiled Shrimp read more

See all

Went there 4-10-23, OMG I was so surprised, I read the reviews both good and bad so I didn't know what to expect. The place was clean including the bathroom, the buffet was constantly tended to, the people were very nice and asked if we needed anything more than once. I am hoping this wasn't a fluke and hope the next time I go back it's just as good, oh and the food was good and hot, especially the fried chicken, we can't wait to go back read more

I like a lot of things about Poppa's. I've seen several things negative, but even if there are things you might not like, consider the choices in McComb and Brookhaven. Other than the Dinner Bell in McComb, it's the best place to eat good food. read more

Poppa's offers a wide variety of items on their buffet to meet everyone's dietary needs. I especially loves the large salad bar and fresh fruits. They also have wonderful pies and desserts. read more

The food is consistent and great! Staff is friendly.. love the fried chicken and fish

Drove up to Brookhaven from our home in Denham Springs to meet my brother & his wife for his belated birthday (they live in McComb and come here quite often it seems because SEVERAL of the servers came up and spoke with them). The buffet was pretty big. I started with fried catfish filets covered with etouffee, fried shrimp, fried oysters, etouffee over rice and a bit of mustard greens. Everything was seasoned very well, batter was tasty, perfection. Next I had the boiled shrimp, which was VERY tasty, omg wish I could've eaten more of these! The only downside and it's not a biggy, the etouffee was a bit garlicky for my tastes and what I'm used to in S. Louisiana. But like I said, no biggy. All in all a very good meal, gonna have to return. read more

We just from Atlanta to Wesson, MS and found Poppa's. Our first time there we absolutely loved it. The food was awesome and the service was great. The food was hot and fresh. They had fried fish, boiled shrimp, shrimp and grits, fried shrimp, and the list goes on. My favorite was the fish filets and the boiled shrimp. We will most definitely make this one of our regular eating places. read more

Great food. Buffet has large enough selection that you can seriously put a hurting on yourself. Wonderful service and clean establishment.

So far this is my Favorite Restaurant since i arrived in Mississippi. The sever are polite and fast.The place is very professional and clean Tuesday is 55+ day. Side orders of crab legs are delicious fresh $12.99 as long as you get a Buffet which is $18.00 with sr.discount .you will love it get there EARLY read more

Poppa's Buffet & Grill - you will love it - Seafood Near Me - Brookhaven, Mississippi

The BEST home cooking buffet I've ever been to ! HUGE buffet with everything you could ever want ! Absolutely WONDERFUL !! read more

Pretty good. Large buffet with a nice salad bar, and lots of fried seafood and decent sides. Sweet tea was great. Most impressive thing however was the dessert bar which featured at least 12 homemade pies (custard, pecan, chocolate cream, etc.), banana split layered dessert, lemon icebox dessert, and a variety of other cobblers and crisps and ice cream. I'd go back just for the desserts, to be honest. read more

Had Sunday buffet lunch here with six adults. The bars were loaded with food & continually refilled. Our waitress was very attentive but most importantly the food was delicious. We tried a great variety of the dishes and were happy with all we had selected. read more

This restaurant most certainly gets the elusive 5 star from me. The food and always has been fantastic. I mean, if you visit the south and you don't get yourself some fiddles from a country restaurant, then what are you even doing with your life?! Fried okra, fried catfish, fried chicken, maccoroni, black eyed peas and the list goes on. AMAZING! read more

I am not a fan of buffets. So consider that when reading my review. Seafood Friday night. Fried oysters were soggy. Fried fish was overcooked. Hush puppies overcooked. Cole slaw was wilted. The entire food bar was not very appealing. The boiled shrimp was good. The broccoli salad was not bad. Fried dill pickles were excellent. The place was very clean. Bathrooms were good. Check out was quick It's Somewhat expensive for warm food other people have stirred. $48 for two people. read more

I love the home cooking on the buffet. I love sampling a little bit of everything. The desserts are especially wonderful. They have a really good salad bar too. read more

Traveling through and stopped at Poppa's and quite impressed. Very good food and great service!

The stuff I hear about the fryer in the back ... from people who work there is enough to make me never want to eat here !! Not washing there hands is the least of your worry's .. read more

Good price, excellent food, & great service. One of the best resteraunts in Brookhaven. I would definitely recommend! Have not had a bad experience yet! read more

Poppa's Buffet & Grill - Snack plate! - Seafood Near Me - Brookhaven, Mississippi

The only buffet in town, and all homemade so you couldn't ask for much more! Overall.. if you're patient, and want a relatively expensive buffet of good food you don't mind spending a pretty penny on, and wait awhile for.. I recommend! Definitely be selective with the days you choose to go tho, and watch for hours. They are only open for certain hours of the day. Lunches during the week are the "not as" busy times, but not as great of a selection as the weekends. Sunday's lunch.. you can forget about getting a table if you aren't there right at opening. You'll be waiting a good 45 mins to an hour for a table. It's the hot spot after church lunch! However, the food selections are the best. Fish, chicken, ham, the southern sides, the salad bar.. it's all delicious! But it just depends on how patient of a person you are.. cause after the wait for the table, you have to wait in long lines just to get to the buffet. It's like waiting for a line at Disneyland. And with saying that, once you get to the bar you might miss out on something you wanted that round after waiting cause it'll be all gone, and nobody has filled it yet. Of course they're always on their best to restock, but it's always hit and miss! But their homemade pies if they haven't ran out are always a nice way to end. Service.. I'm knocking a star off for that. I've never had a meal here with "good" service, and I ate here every Sunday for 2 years. Yes, it's only a buffet, and yes it's always busy.. but you hardly will get refills, and plates will stack so fast on your table. So with it a buffet and it's their only job to refill drinks, and take plates it's pretty sorry. Plus their attitudes are terrible. I've never seen a waitress we've had there ever crack a smile. They generally just walk over to your table, hover, and stand there looking at you without saying a weird till you just shout your drink at her. You even have to pay at the counter so they don't do much so I don't know why their so glum. If you're patient, and don't mind spending the money, I'd say go for it! read more

This is by far the best Country Buffet we've ever been to. The food was amazing and each Buffet for salad, desserts, bread and main dishes were so clean and presentable. No scattered food on the buffets at all. The cleanest buffet I've ever seen! We even overheard one of the employees looking over the food, to have a dish removed because it didn't look appealing and to bring something else out in its place. Staff were very nice and accommodating and asking more than once if everything was okay. We'll be back for sure! read more

One of the best buffets I've eaten. If you've eaten Momma Hamils and love it, you will most definitely love this place. The flavor jumped out in everything I've eaten. Rib are cooked to perfection. The only thing that I ate and was ok, was the corn. Sweet Tea was perfect. What more can I say. Also be expecting to have a wait time on Sunday. read more

Great place to eat. Excellent food and lots of it. Good Hardy food. Stuff that stucks to your stomachs. Fresh fruit and yogurt. I've cream, cookies, pies, cake. You can't lose here. Definitely a Repeat Performance. Along with some mellow country tunes playing in the background. read more

This is some good food! It just made my heart and my stomach smile! Great customer service, a large selection of food and all the entrées I tried were seasoned well. To Top it off, I meet a Family from The Brave Nation, Alcorn State University (Class of 87, 89 & 72)! It is on my list of Must Return To Enjoy Again! #JustFull read more

After reading the reviews i had to try poppas buffet and grill and i have to say some of the best crab legs I have had in a while. They were sweet and hot. If you don't opt for the crab legs the fried catfish was excellent. I will be back. read more

I only stopped in two places driving through Mississippi, Poppa's was one of those places! Awesome soul food. Definitely a must go if you're in the area!!!!! read more

Lettuce was OLD! Which was bad because I don't like their other food. It is not worth the price. And $7.50 for old lettuce was ridiculous but if I wanted a dessert I had to ADD another $2.50. So $10 for old lettuce and a piece of pie that I can get from Walmart!! I vote no. read more

In town for a family reunion -- Poppas catered the BBQ, Fish Fry as well as Sunday dinner event for three days. Where do I start -- all of the food was delicious and the staff very were hospitable. I do not think anyone felt slighted on any of the catered family meals. read more

Delicious food! 1st time eating here and we will definitely come back. Friendly staff and very clean restaurant

I stopped in to grab a to go plate, and I found that the the food was unusually bland, not at all appetizing in the least. None of the food had even an ounce of seasoning or salt. Service is always great, but I was disappointed in the way the food tasted today because I know the cooks can cook ten times better than what was served today. read more

We are out of towners who decided to stop here for lunch during a weekday. The place was very busy which is a good sign. The staff was very nice and food was good. The buffet offered your standard southern comfort foods like fried chicken, fried catfish, Mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, okra, etc. A good salad bar and a very impressive dessert selection. All for a very affordable price. read more
