Every time I visit Dallas I drive down 90 minutes and enjoy. (TBH, family in town, but still. I make it my business to stop here.) CRISPY chicken, for real, with fresh baked yeast rolls! And as good as the chicken is, the catfish is even better. I grew up in Florida, catfish U buy we fry everywhere. Jim's Krispy has catfish down to a perfect science. Always juicy, always flaky, always well seasoned crispy fry. Perfection! The fried okra is done right. They just know how to fry anything well. Periodt. (Except maybe the fries? I don't know. I'm too full to eat them). I'm so hard pressed to find fish this good in LA area. Gotta come all the way to Mexia for consistency! To top it all off, the prices are super reasonable! I guess that why the place looks rundown. Not profiting enough to upgrade. That's fine with me! Check my receipt! August 2025.

The brisket is the star of the show: juicy, perfectly prepared, and packed with mouth‑watering flavor that makes your eyes roll back. The chicken is bronzed, smoked, and tastes like little pieces of heaven. I'm not even a pork fan, but I devoured every bite of their pork ribs -- absolute flavor bombs. The green beans are so good they'll make you want to kick the chair out from under your favorite cousin. Our server Brooklyn was polite, patient, and made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. She's a front‑facing star -- let her shine. I love this place. Call it Flav‑tastic or BBQ‑ambrosia, because it truly felt like a gift to my taste buds.

The salad stuff was fresh and the dressings were all good. On the hot side of the buffet they had chicken friend steak, ham, turkey and dressings, bbq brisket and friend chicken. Everything was excellent! The sides were all great. I imagine their homemade pies are amazing but I was too full to try any of them! I will 100% be back anytime I am nearby!!!

My dad has been coming here for years, I believe this was my first time…read more My dad went for the buffet, and I ordered a la carte. First, the service was excellent, I believe our server was named Presley. Very kind, always checking on us and keeping our water and tea full. On the buffet, my dad enjoyed the salad he had, but was surprised at the little variety offered that day. He said last time he was there with my brother there was more to choose from. He then got the fried chicken, which was greasy and barely any chicken on the thigh. I tried to find a drumstick but it was just breasts, thighs and a few wings. He did like the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. As for the fried okra, you have to eat it fresh. It is sitting under a heat lamp just makes it soggy and slimy. I ordered 4 vegetables a la carte which came out to be as much as the all you can eat buffet. First, their onion rings are OUTSTANDING! So is their homemade ranch. What was disappointing was the green beans, they definitely came out of a can and were heated. At $3.99 I expected fresh. There may have been a small piece of onion in it. Not sure if that was how it was cooked or if it fell in from another dish. The black-eyed peas were tasty. I also had a cup of the chicken corn chowder which was good. However, there was pieces of cubed chicken in it which also made me think that it was a prepackaged soup and not homemade. My dad got the coconut cream pie, which tasted good, but could have used more coconut then just on the top. He wanted bread pudding or peach cobbler, however at the time of day we were there, they had been picked over way too much, not leaving much for anyone else to enjoy. I did like the selections in the gift shop and purchased a tea towel before we left. I always like to try a place 3 times so I may stop in and try something else. Again, great customer service.

And while the other one is great and fabulous, this one is one star better. A huge selection of baked goods, coffee, decor, clothing, drinks and more. The Kissing Pig Cafe has so many food options, too! Mrs. K. has not had a kolache in years and she's now pescatarian which presents certain challenges. It would be awesome if they had some kolaches with just cheese or were sweet, so while I had one with ham and cheese and one with sausage in cheese, she was at least able to enjoy a strawberry and cream danish as well as the always awesome poppyseed kolache. It's possible that a pecan square was purchased for later consumption, too. The self-serve coffee was great and we enjoyed all of this inside at a comfortable table. And after that, more shopping. So much great stuff to choose from here and very, very clean restrooms. If you're overwhelmed by that massive baked goods counter, just ask for recommendations. They'll get you sorted for sure!

Excellent selection of kolaches and klobasneky. You can also buy sandwiches. Minus: as on previous visits, I have found that they are often out of poppyseed and prune kolaches. Not the servers' fault but you would think management would be keen to bake more of what sells most. Then there are the sandwiches. If you want pork, you'll get value. But if you want brisket, look out! I've never seen a more miserly portion offered for 13 dollars. I understand that brisket is expensive now. But I still get it at various restaurants and have to say that it was a five dollar sandwich for thirteen bucks. Additionally, the sandwich maker apparently does not know what and order for "moist" brisket means. Mine proved rather dry.
