Little poppyseed sprinkles were a nice added touch. The sandwich was full of meat and fresh veggies. No skimping here. Since we split the sandwich, we were charged an extra $1.50 but it was worth it as we each got our own side of chips and a pickle. The restaurant was clean. It was constantly busy as we sat inside and ate so it must be a local fav. Great stop.

Oddly enough, despite it being prime lunch hour, the place was nearly empty. That should've been a red flag, but I decided to give it a try, I used to come here a few years ago but the service and quality of the food had deteriorated so badly that I stopped coming. Unfortunately, nothings changed since my last time here, it literally looks like someone wrapped up my sandwich and then hulk smashed it. The taste isn't the same either. I guess I'm stuck going to Lake Butler for Skips still.

We started with spicy and classic margaritas--both were perfectly made. The bread service was fresh and delicious, and my French onion soup had great flavor. Colby's side salad was super fresh too. For dinner, I got the homemade chicken tenders (so good--NOT processed at all), and Colby had the Honey Pig Roll, Bang Bang Roll sushi , and the Cajun Seafood dish with fresh fish, large shrimp, and andouille sausage in a tasty house-made Cajun sauce. Everything was flavorful and well prepared. Our server was really busy but still did a solid job. The décor was amazing, and the live music at the bar makes us want to come back soon. We definitely recommend--just wish the brew house offered more local craft beer options!

Looking around for the Mexican restaurant that I used to go to, I found that it had been turned into Two Fat Guys over the years. Alright, I'll give that a go instead! Inside there are a couple of tall tables to eat at, and then a side area for normal table seating to eat at. The ordering system is counter service, and after I went through the menu I went with a standard cheeseburger and some fries along with a drink. The wait wasn't long, and I got my food and sat down. First, the fries... They were limp and not that great. Also, I asked for some hot sauce, only to find out they did not have any. Ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper... That's it for condiments, as I found out from the completely disinterested staff. The burger was alright... not outstanding, but also not bad. My recommendation? If you are hungry for a burger, sure, go for it... get it to go, because the ambiance and staff are certainly not going to be a positive light on your day. Skip the fries, they aren't worth it. Sadly, given this experience I fully expect to see a completely different place here within a couple of years, unless something changes drastically.

When you see the daily specials on their menu, you know it's the real deal. Not only is there fried chicken and chicken n dumplings, but the vegetable sides include such grandma favorites as Jello with fruit and often several kinds of peas . . . and rutabagas, any time you actually can find rutabagas on a restaurant menu you know they're not playing around in the kitchen and they're catering to old timers who themselves know how to cook. I had chicken n dumplings with fried eggplant and cucumbers and onions salad as my sides and cornbread came along with the plate as well. Everything was delicious. The cucumbers tasted fresh from someone's garden--like they had that just-picked taste you don't normally encounter in restaurants at all. Service was fine, an older waitress who checked on me and kept the iced tea coming. The interior is comfy, old license plates on the wall, regulars greeting each other and coming over to each other's tables. But the food is what stands out: not at all fancy, indeed, it doesn't taste like restaurant food but literally like eating at a Southern friend's grandma's house and I don't believe there could be a higher recommendation than that.

As we drove by we noticed the parking lot was full and looked like a pretty popular place so we decided to turn around and give it a try. OMG. Talk about a place where the locals go... It was fantastic! The inside was decorated with old license plates. The staff seemed to enjoy their job, and the waitress that we had look like she was having a great time with all of the customers. She was very sweet and prompt. We had the Salisbury steak and fried chicken sandwich with handmade onion rings. Deliciously crispy! If you're in the area, make sure you stop in.

The turkey is always done to perfection, the ham yummy and plenty of sides and desserts. The salad bar was completely vacant, however...this was somewhat disheartening, considering how supposedly "health minded" American adults are these days. That was our first stop of the day. Cabbage slaw, carrot salad, macaroni salad, olives, huge delicious slices of beautiful tomatoes, gorgeous slices of cucumbers, nicely green lettuce, several types of peppers and ham. Cheese, salad dressing of every kind...best stop so far! Smoked pork, ribs, fried fish, yeast rolls, sliced roast beef, ham, turkey slices, meatloaf, fried chicken, baked chicken, green bean casserole, mac & cheese, cornbread dressing, turkey gravy, mashed potatoes, lima beans, black eyed peas, creamed corn, greens, rice, fried okra... Pumpkin pie, pecan pie, lemon meringue, peach cobbler, soft serve ice cream, chocolate cream pie, cookies, brownies...oh, I'm exhausted just from trying to list everything! There was so so so much more than what I even listed here, plus the absolute best waitress and Arnold Palmer maker! Why cook at home, burden yourself, spend HOURS cleaning up afterwards and hours more packing everything away? Take yourself and your loved ones out to Ole Times Country Buffet just one time for the holidays and you'll never go back to cooking again! (I sure haven't)

It was maybe 10/15 mins off the highway, so if you're traveling down as well and have some time to stop over I would recommend it. My wife and I got a plate of chicken breast with rice, black beans, plantains, and empanadas. The lady who owns the restaurant was so nice and walked us through the menu and told us a bit about how long they've been in the area. She shared that many of the restaurants nearby have been closing down, so they appreciated us coming in to support their business. Overall, we thought the food was good and everything was cooked to perfection but unfortunately we couldn't finish it because it was entirely too salty. I know seasoning preferences can vary based on the person, so I would still recommend you stop in and try them for yourself, but for me, it was just too much salt to finish the meal.
