★★★★★ 5.0 Hilary Chapman · Nov 2025

Down Home is a true hometown staple—fresh food, friendly service, and the kind of place where they learn your name and treat you like family. Famous for its expansive salad bar, mouthwatering fried chicken, their best-in-town, fall-off-the-bone BBQ ribs, and all the classic fixings, Down Home is a must-visit for anyone passing through or craving comfort done right. If you’re on the go, their fried chicken is available in generous family-sized portions, always cooked fresh, perfectly crispy, and never greasy. And if you’re in the mood for something sweet, don’t leave without trying their homemade pies or warm, gooey cinnamon rolls.

Ordered the cowboy burger with curly fries. Burger was dried out and flavorless, possibly not even seasoned. It looked and tasted like someone kept smashing it while cooking which is a rookie mistake since all of the juice and flavor was gone. Curly fries were just a soggy, oily clump. Wife got the buffet, the fried chicken was pretty good.

A must stop for our family when we are in town. The people are so kind, locals & staff and the food is always great. Can't wait to go back "Down Home"
