Met my family for our monthly dinner. The buffet was wonderful, had something for everyone. It was almost like eating at home. We could visit and not have to yell. The staff was helpful and friendly

Nice employees and very good homemade food. Had a late breakfast Western omelet, and it was delicious. My wife had ham and bacon sandwich with 10/10 fries! Great food , generous servings and above average taste. Shop local!!!

We try to pop by at least once a week. I live for their home made jams, and pies, and their fry sauce is top notch. Ordered a sugar free coconut cream pie for my father in law for Christmas and plan to order custom cupcakes for my sons class for Valentines Day. Love their burgers also. Service is great.

We tried the seafood buffet. The salad bar had a lot of options, the hot bar had hushpuppies, shrimp pasta, gumbo, salmon and more, along with the crab and shrimp, the dessert options were wonderful. This buffet was well-worth the money! Very upscale food for a tiny town!

As a person with food allergies I was very impressed with the way they went above and beyond with fixing my breakfast in a safe manner. They took the time to do it right, will eat here again...
