The buffet is buffet food. Once you've had it, you're good for a long while. I would like to go…read moremore often because Lexington doesn't have many places to eat, and the majority of them aren't anything special, but until they offer a variety instead of the exact same food every time, I will only go on occasion when someone asks me to go with them. I've found that sometimes food on the buffet is too salty (and I like salt). Once the turnip greens were so salty that I had to spit them out. It was as if someone had poured a whole cup of salt in them. The catfish is also usually very salty. Nothing on the buffet is labeled, so you may have to ask about some of the meat if it's your first time to go. The salad bar is very small and minimum, so I prefer to get slaw instead, but I no longer do that. Sometimes the slaw had a strange taste and smell as if it was going bad. Once it was so completely soured that it almost made me gag. I let the server know and she just took it away. Toward the end of the meal, she brought another bowl and said it was freshly made. She never apologized. She actually acted put out over it. Needless to say, I've learned to be cautious with the turnip greens and slaw. The dessert bar is terrible. I mean that. If you like pudding with whipped cream on top (they usually have chocolate and banana), and sometimes a low-quality overly sweet store- bought cobbler, then you'll like it. They also have ice cream, but it isn't the smooth kind. It is more like the type you make at home. My advice is to order off the menu. You will not have the variety, or the amount, but you will have a better meal. The location is good. The parking is good. It's a large place so you can usually get a table pretty quickly.

It's a cute spot with ample seating (you seat yourself) and pretty views of a (man-made?) pond from the windows as you dine. There's a solid selection of seafood and traditional southern fare. I really enjoyed the corn muffins, chicken & dumplins, and chicken tenders and chocolate cobbler. It's a solid selection and the service was fast and friendly. As others have mentioned - if you leave hungry that's likely on you as the diverse selection has a little bit of something for everyone. If i'm passing through the area again, Brooksie's will definitely be on my food list!

We had the country fried chicken with mashed potatoes and turnip geeens. The turnip greens were so good and my wife said the chicken was very good. I had the fried pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes and okra. All of it was delicious! For dessert we had blueberry lemon cake and coconut cake. Pictures do not to them justice. They were so huge the lid barely closed on the to go box. It was like 1/4 of a cake. We left there stuffed with four to go boxes for two people! Highly recommend!

I've come here because my grandparents from Paris recommended this place as a good 18th birthday dinner spot, and even though they may be just a little crazy, I am so glad I listened to them. The food is outstanding. I tried their Cheesesteak with French Fries, and I didn't even take a picture of it, I was that excited, and it was nothing short of outstanding. You get a lot of it too. If I wasn't a big back I would've had the entire thing for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the same can be said for their dessert cakes. The staff were excellent as well, they were friendly, and certainly helped making our first visit a welcoming experience, and I earnestly hope they are satisfied with working here. If you are a foodie, a travelling foodie, or just someone who just likes going to establishments in towns you don't even know the name of, I tell you now that you NEED to go to this place. P.S. Forget all the other beverages you can have with your food, GRAB THE TEA. Sweet or unsweet, their tea tastes HEAVENLY.

My salad came in a nice sized bowl, with tomato, cheese, and hard-boiled eggs. It was topped with fried chicken but the coating on the chicken was thinner than I expected. Still tasty though. The rest of the table had the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy and Texas toast. The Texas toast could have used some butter. The batter on the chicken fried steak was perfectly done, light and crispy. Everyone at the table raved about the gravy. Sweet tea was...really sweet. I had the unsweetened tea, which i enjoyed. They offer a half sweet and half unsweet mix if you ask for it. I had the buttermilk pie, which is basically a chess pie. It was one of the best chess pies I've had on this trip. Bathrooms were super clean, which is important to me. Bottom line, this is southern comfort food, done right. Highly recommend if you're ever out this way.

As someone who grew up in a rural community outside a small town, I have a deep love and appreciation for restaurants like The Pond! The staff was amazing and friendly! We had 7 of us in our party. We were seated very quickly. We were tended to with care. When looking at the menu, I was surprised (in a very good way) at the prices. The amount of food you get for the price beats any place I've eaten in the city, for sure! I ordered the fried shrimp dinner which comes with the fried shrimp, a choice of a baked potato, fries? Or potato wedges. It also comes with slaw, white beans, and hush puppies. I chose to go with a loaded baked potato. The shrimp I got was AMAZING! It wasn't the dinky little shrimps you get at big chain restaurants. These were big plump shrimps. That loaded baked potato was also delicious! I'm pretty sure I inhaled it. I'm a sucker for a good slaw and I could have eaten a large bowl of it. I'm not one who particularly likes white beans or hush puppies, so I didn't try those. I got flu after the slaw, potato, and just half of my shrimp. I was a bit disappointed because I didn't get to try their desserts. I am looking forward to visiting The Pond again on my next visit!
