Buckner's Family Restaurant

This truly is a family style restaurant. The huge lazy Suzanne in the middle of the table holds a variety of delicious home cooked food that you dip on to your plate and if a bowl is empty they go get another one and bring it out. The waitresses are great and checked on us throughout our meal. At the end we asked for coffee. They brewed a fresh pot and brought out fresh coffee that was so good! We really enjoyed Buckets and recommend if you’re looking to have a good home cooked meal! Only thing I’d suggest is they have more napkins on the table.

The food was good, but the service was better. Lots of friendly smiles everywhere. Such an inviting environment. Loved the turn table with all the fixings I can think of Two things that would have made it a little better gravy and ice cream for the cobbler. It is a family style restaurants but they give you the option to sit with just your family if you like.

I’d heard that Buckner’s had the best fried chicken in Georgia and I had to find out for myself. Taste is subjective, but I’d have to agree. This is the best fried chicken I’ve had in Georgia as of the time of this posting. Now, I’m not from Georgia and my sample size isn’t exhaustive, but it certainly is in the top three from anywhere, for me that is. I do enjoy the family style dining and a chance to have some nice conversation with folks that didn’t arrive with you. I would recommend trying both barbecue sauces on the fried chicken, but the suggestion I wouldn’t have anticipated to be so good came from a gentleman sharing the table with us. He suggested drizzling some honey on the fried chicken. I did not expect that to be the best bite of the meal, but man o’ man, it was. Other notab

Buckner has been around since 1980 and offers that down home feel. The round tables with the lazy-susan in the center at your table allows you to stay seated. The servers are very aware when selections are getting low and keep them stocked. Another benefit of the round table is having the opportunity to share a table with other guests if so desired, with added bonus as leaving as if you've known those guests for years.

A must stop by if your traveling through for lunch or dinner. Amazing sweet tea, southern style. Everything was phenomenal. We will definitely be stopping back when we are up in Jackson.
