    Ok, let me say first that the atmosphere and the workers there are super nice and appears to be a great buffet. However, beware of places that say they serve several meats and vegetables. We had catfish, chicken tenders, fried chicken, hamburger steak, corn dogs, sweet and sour chicken, chicken fried steak, and chicken livers and several kinds of vegetables. Most items were warm not hot at all. The hamburger steak and the chicken fried steak looked like banquet frozen meal meat and tasted even worse. The chicken livers were inedible. They were pink inside and I have had a lot of chicken livers in my life none like these! The catfish was tough and I couldn't find one thing on the bar that even looked good. Everything is bland and the glazed carrots on the buffet were so tough and shriveled up that looked like they had been sitting for days. None of the vegetables looked good. They have a dessert bar as well with ice cream, but this is where I drew the line. When we walked over there to get dessert there was a piece of chocolate cake sitting there. We almost grabbed it until we see gnats flying out of the cake. They weren't on top of it they were flying from the inside of the cake, almost as if they have been living inside of the cake. If you look at the pecan pie picture you can see the gnat on the plate but the chocolate cake if you zoom in you can clearly see the gnats on it. Disgusting to say the least and regret even stopping in! One of the nastiest buffets I think I have been to and after spending $45.00 we should have just got us a pizza and called it a day! I hate leaving reviews like this but it needs to be said. Stay away from here it is not good at all!!! Marvin's in Fayetteville and Mildred's in Ardmore are some of the best buffets I have ever been to! 10/10 and worth the drive.

    Stumbled into the Plantation buffet restaurant today after having seen it recommended on Facebook and happening to be in the area. We apparently arrived for the lunch buffet which cost 13.99 a person. I had a fantastic time, it was super fun to load up my plates and get a little bit of everything. My first plate I got pulled bbq pork, baked beans, mashed potatoes with gravy, a hush puppy, hot okra, corn and some kind of green bean and potato dish with beef. This plate was delicious. I loved the baked beans and pork the best, but the potatoes and gravy were also really good! The hot okra was way too spicy for me unfortunately, but luckily I only grabbed a couple to try. Second plate was orange blossom chicken, rice, Mac n cheese, and more pulled pork and baked beans and a hush puppy. I did not enjoy the Mac n cheese, it had almost zero flavor at all, but everything else on this plate was great. My husband got some similar items but he started with the salad bar and made a big salad. For dessert I had a little plate of cheese cake, two plates of carrot cake, and a cup of vanilla ice cream. The dessert were all very yummy! The restaurant is very large inside with ample tables, interesting decor, and a kids zone in the back that looked to have arcade games. The bathrooms were super clean, in fact a young woman had just finished cleaning the bathrooms as I was entering. All in all we both left very full for a price tag of 13.99 each. Getting to try so many different things was really fun. By my second plate I was getting full and there was still other things I would've liked to try but I wanted room for dessert as well. This place was kept very clean and there were a lot of staff around tending to things and keeping everything orderly and nice. This place exceeded my expectations for a buffet.

    When you're ever in Dickson, Tennessee make sure you eat at the Plantation Restaurant. The restaurant is locally owned by Chris and Marcia Lucas and the southern food is absolutely off the chart. When you first walk in the first thing that stands out are all the American flags. Then you're really going to notice that on the three walls in front of you are tributes to active military veterans, Viet Nam veterans and to fallen police officer's. You have to take time to visit all three walls and see the table set for the MIA and POWs. When I came in it wasn't long before I was seated by my hostess Amanda. She was pleasant and she immediately gave me a rundown on everything that was available as well as the history. Here are some of the items on the Buffet: Fried chicken, smoked pulled pork,baked beans, lima beans, black-eyed peas,fried okra, peas, grits, white cream gravy, steamed rice. They even had orange blossom chicken, turnip greens, fried gizzards, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy along with fried cabbage and yes ham hock and white beans. I was really stuffed trying all the items here at the plantation buffet. If you leave hungry it is your fault. For those of you who prefer seafood they have that as well. They have delicious mouthwatering shrimp cocktail, fried butterfly shrimp, baked fish, chicken gumbo, low country boil, beef brisket, blackened fish as well as jumbo shrimp. You really can't go wrong here at the plantation restaurant. No meal would be complete without some of their desserts. There is something for everyone. Assorted pies and cakes and top it off with ice cream. Better yet, try some delicious banana putting or peach cobbler. I understand on Sundays they have my favorite blackberry cobbler so if you're ever in Dickson Tennessee don't miss the opportunity to stop by the Plantation Restaurant.

    Before I came to this restaurant the first time. I read all the reviews and saw the overall rating of 3.almost convinced me to go somewhere else. However, we were hungry and I didn't feel like going all over looking for somewhere else to eat. Well that was three visits ago and every time that we have come the food has been very tasty, hot and satisfying. I waited to write this review since it seems to depend on the time of day that you come. We have come close to closing, in the middle of the shift, it hasn't mattered, same awesome food and friendly great service. Based on the negative reviews, I would either say that a lot changed or they were disgruntled employees or the competition. I would be willing to say that those people are full of something. That comment about the veteran is crap for sure as this place is a shrine to veterans. Is it possible that a table wasn't available for him when he was ready, possibly. But I can't believe as friendly as these people are, it had to be a misunderstanding, check out my pictures. Also, dont use this app to navigate here or you will get lost. It is just down the road from the Walmart, on the same side of the street.

    Not good at all. Food was bland. Service was good and the place was clean. I won't go back there to eat again.

    If you like perfectly crispy, juicy, hot, flavorful fried chicken, well seasoned collard greens,…read morespicy cornbread, lumpy mashed potatoes and thick gravy, this is the place to be. Was driving through from Minnesota to Orlando and stopped near Shelbyville for the night. The place where my friend and I stayed recommended the Dinner Table and it was definitely a great suggestion for local food. The restaurant is obviously a local go to and staple establishment. The tables are covered in red and white checkered table coverings, the inside a modest and no frills look. The servers are attentive and keep the sweet and unsweetened tea a flowin'. The buffet includes a salad bar, dessert bar and then the goodies mentioned about. They also have fried porkchops, beans, mac n cheese, cheesey penne in tomato sauce, and some other goodies in the lunch buffet. I filled to the brim and 4 hours later still felt satisfied! Next time, I will want to stop by for breakfast, which I bet is equally great!

    I'm trying to find the words for this restaurant, it changed its name to Arnies . This was my…read morefirst time here . The young lady serving us was very polite and friendly.The food on the other hand was just awful, I wouldn't even feed this to my dog. We made mention to the server who thanked us for our concern. We didn't get compensation or anything, so now I'll probably be stuck in the bathroom the whole rest of the night .
