Good down-home buffet 😋; I will definitely return. The food was flavorful and comforting, especially the hash and rice (my favorite!). My only minor issue is that the dining area sits directly in the path of the entrance, so there’s a steady flow of customer traffic coming through. It can feel a bit busy at times. Overall, a great spot for a satisfying meal.

A family owned business thar serves it buffet style.. most of the time buffet burn you on good food but this was the real deal. Not only good barbecue butMac cheese and greens . Hushpuppies all were delicious ...the place was filling up almost full when we left at 3:30 a crowd of about 10 coming in as we left .. great job and a good price .. service was fine .

Not sure what in the macaroni and cheese this is but nothing like any I've eaten before burnt cheese and noodles. The barbecue sandwich had more sauce than meat bbq should have the flavor you should not have to cover it In sauce to eat it. When we arrive there was no smoke and no smell of bbq so not real sure where they cook it.

Best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had. Love the buffet style. As a bigger guy I definitely got my moneys worth. Very nice sweet older lady behind the register. Gave family owned/involvement vibes. Great southern comfort food and hospitality. Great sweet tea. If you want to know what real “southern cooking” is like, this is it.

BEST food on planet Earth!!!!! No joke! I have literally been eating here since I was born and there's no place I'd rather be. The atmosphere is very down home Southern family vibes. Their hash & rice is an institution- absolute MUST have!
