Been trying to find a good buffet spot since we moved to Tennessee. The salad bar had ample…read moreselections for toppings and they actually give you a "real" plate for your salad instead of one of those mini plates that you see so often on a salad bar. The hot bar had fried chicken, Salisbury steak, chicken and dumplings, mashed potatoes, baked beans, deep fried squash and honey glazed carrots. The fried chicken was cooked well and very moist, it was just a bit under seasoned. Everything was else was prepared well and tasted good. They also had desserts, but I didn't try them. The restaurant was very clean and well lit. All of the staff was courteous, polite and friendly. They also have a menu that you can order from if you don't want the buffet. Good value for your dollar.

The banana pudding was good but everything else was greasy and over cooked burnt Salads other than cottage cheese was awful. The other location in Morrison was fantastic. Waiter here said they sold that location. Cashier took the 16.99 x 2 plus tax and tip and said sorry. Normally I take pictures of food but it was so bad I didn't even think out it.

You cannot get a more gourmet meal for a better price! The first time we ate here, I actually…read morethought there had been a mistake on the bill because I couldn't believe we had gotten this level of food for the price. The food at La Bella Pearl is thoughtfully created and beautifully executed, with French and Cajun influences woven into a farm-to-table, mountaintop dining experience. Every dish feels intentional without ever feeling fussy. The restaurant itself is set inside a beautiful old home, which makes the experience feel less like going out to a restaurant and more like being welcomed into Chef Tom's home for an incredible meal. The service and atmosphere are warm, relaxed, and unpretentious. You could absolutely dress up for a special date night, but you would feel just as comfortable coming in casually. They do not sell alcohol, but you are welcome to bring your own bottle, and the corkage fee is one of the lowest I have ever seen. La Bella Pearl is a true gem. From the moment you pull up, it feels as though you have stumbled upon the pearl inside an oyster, tucked away on the mountain and waiting to be discovered. Do not sleep on this place. It is easily one of the best dining values I have found anywhere, and the kind of restaurant you almost want to keep a secret.

Didn't realize they had lunch weekdays and brunch on Saturdays. Every time we've gone, we're treated kindly with attentive service. Our most recent visit, Stephanie offered guidance on their sides, shared information on the brunch, and made sure we had a good experience. From the burgers to the shrimp Poboy at lunch, you also have steak and fresh fish options for dinner. The truffle fries are a favorite for our group as well as the pasta specials. If you have a little one, be sure to ask your server if they have any options available for children. They've been very kind to our granddaughter when she's gone along with us and we are grateful. While there is a small bar, it's quaint and cozy and actually holds more than you expect as they're seating near the kitchen. UPDATE: return the next day for the brunch. Had the Nashville hot chicken and waffles. Mic drop!

Positive - Except for the watery, chunky, bitter tasting remoulade sauce, the Po Boy was excellent…read more Large, flavorful shrimp, nice bun, and fries were good. It would have been one of the best ever if not for the remoulade, which appeared to be either homemade (poorly), spoiled, or both. Negatives - Arriving, waiting to be seated, a young man behind the bar (dark hair, beard), glanced our way but never acknowledged us. A young woman finally seated us, and took our drink orders. Friendly, but incompetent. My wife ordered the Club Sandwich, NO AVOCADO, NO TOMATO. I ordered the Po Boy. My wife then asked for some mayo on the side. Since the server wrote down nothing, I then had to repeat my order. Food arrives, my wife's sandwich is loaded down with avocado and tomato. And here's why we will NEVER return. I went to the restroom. It's early, 11:30, only 3 other tables were occupied. The restroom was disgustingly FILTHY. Long ago dried excrement on the bottom of the seat, no toilet paper, and to top it off, NO SOAP in the dispenser, or anywhere. Meaning, employees using that restroom were not sanitizing their hands. Given that, do you want to eat food that's been handled by them? Attractive restaurant, obviously a lot of money invested to renovate it, so unfortunate no one is properly running it.

Came here for lunch a couple weeks ago and had a nice time…read more On the outskirts of Winchester, this restaurant has comfort food, breakfast, and American classics. It's a little rough around the edges / shabby-chic inside but there's plenty of seating and it definitely feels like a local place. Pleasant interactions between waitstaff and regulars, large groups of workers coming in, etc. I like that vibe. They let me seat myself and a waitress brought me a menu. I asked if I should get the plate lunch or the burger and she very emphatically recommended the burger. Not sure if that was a condemnation of the plate lunch or just a huge fan of the burger lol, but I followed her guidance and got a bacon burger and fries. I used the restroom while I waited for my food; it was a small one person lady's room but it was clean. My food came out in a timely manner and was fresh and hot. My waitress did not steer me wrong; it was a tasty, diner-style burger, well-seasoned and cooked nicely. The bacon was extra crispy, which is my preference. The fries were nothing-special crinkle cut fries, but they were hot and crispy enough. The burger was definitely the star though and worthy of another order. The price was reasonable and I was in and out quickly. A worthwhile stop in Winchester.
