My wife and I had the lobster bisque soup, seemed too good to pass on.we split a salad and the fish of the day entrée. The next day we both said we wished we had left the soup and salad for two full entrees. I called, they still had the fish so we returned but each of us had an order of the blackened Kingfish, no regrets as it was wonderful.. just had to say it. Two nights in a row with no regrets. An excellent place to dine for sure!

You walk in pay for your buffet , and sit where you like . Real casual dining experience. The only negative thing i experienced was the dessertb, they were out of both cobblers for a little bit , didnt want to wait l,so tried a piece of each of the cakes they had in bowls. Chocolate Cake wasn't bad, butbwhat i believe to pineapple cake or something was very dry no flavor. I dont go to buffets for the deserts, so..the chicken an the rest of the food made up for the issue. A closer to home buffet , they did have a sign up for all you can eat crab legs on Sat 3-7pm.

Three of us came here for an early dinner and were seated promptly…read more This was a small buffet dinner and had a salad bar, meats and veggies to choose from. The desserts were on a table in the back and were pre cut so I imagine they were dried out. I found an empty pan where there was supposed to have been a hot cobbler but it was not filled while we were there. The waitress was friendly and attentive. When I went up the first time there was no shrimp and I was very disappointed. I tried the fried chicken but it wasn't that good. The veggies I tried were good. Some were fresh and some were not. The second time I went up there was shrimp so I felt a lot better about the dinner. The shrimp were done well and the sauce I found was good. The atmosphere is homey/country and nothing fancy. I only saw tables but there was another room that I didn't go in so it might have had some other kind of seating. It's as expensive as the larger buffet's , even with a senior discount, which was a surprise. Tea is an extra charge, so I can't comment on that. I would give it another try if in the area again.

Stopped in while in Gainesville as we are huge fans of MSB!…read more Service was 3 stars as the staffed seemed to lack in some areas. Cashier was very helpful but our orders were getting mixed up and coming out randomly and not together. Wait time was longer than usual and it had to be because the kitchen wasn't getting the orders right. Food was good , except my fried green tomatoes were overly fried and very hard. My maple vanilla latte wasn't as delicious as back home so I had to work my magic at the coffee area to make it taste better. Tables in dining area were super sticky to the point the receipt stuck to the table. Not sure how long this location has been open but it seemed a bit of a mess today.

It is the same folks inside, the same food, and the same experience... which is excellence. This place has become a local favorite, and there is a vibe of familiarity between the staff and the customers that you don't see in chain restaurants. If you are looking for a local place that caters to the region, this should definitely be on your list!

We sat outside under the overhang, which was comfortable and enjoyable. One person ordered the huevos rancheros, while the other two had the avocado toast with feta cheese. Everything was delicious, and the portions were HUGE--so much food that I actually had to take someone home with me! One note for management: please don't wash the tables while guests are eating. I completely understand the importance of cleaning the tables, especially between customers, but the smell from the sponges and cleaning products was really unpleasant while we were trying to enjoy our meal. Maybe cleaning the tables before or after the dining period would help. Overall, a good meal, quick seating, friendly service, and very generous portions. We'll definitely be back! But please listen to my suggestion!

Unlike that chain, these kind folks have breakfast all-day and a variety of classic southern food. Burgers, omelettes, fried shrimp, fish, salmon patties, lots of sides and, of course, sweet tea. I ordered the half-and-half fried shrimp and fish combo. Both were freshly-fried and the fries were nicely seasoned. To say these folks were enthusiastic is an understatement, and it shows in the quality of their food. They told me an updated menu is in the works, and they currently open at 6am and close around 2pm daily. Will definitely be back!

I wasn't expecting that at all, but it ended up being awesome. The shrimp and grits were amazing. I don't know what they put in those grits, but they were seriously scrumptious. The chicken wings and sliders were also really good. The place itself is really nice and well put together. Our server was good too and even gave us some recommendations for breweries in the area, which was appreciated. Overall, great food, great service, and a really nice atmosphere. Highly recommend.

I wasn't a huge fan, they tasted like hotdogs and were fried as well. I ordered "The Smitty" which was a brisket sandwich with sliced sausage,cheese, pickles and onions. The portion was huge! I ate some meat before I could actually eat the sandwich-a good thing. They have various sauces on the table and my favorite was by far the mojo. The collard greens were just okay. The pulled pork had a decent flavor, but it was more like pork chunks instead of that nice pulled texture.
