★★★★★ 5.0 Bubba Logan · Jan 2026

Stopped in for dinner while in town on business and definitely loved the food and great service

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 William Fitzgerald · Nov 2025

Seafood buffet includes shrimp. And if u want crab legs it's $7 a cluster more 3 people $122 .00 when I told the waitress it was a little misleading her response was I know it's kinda misleading. No it's a lie just like Berrys seafood is they put shrimp on a 34$ buffet and call it a seafood but if u want the rest of the sea food on the buffet it's more. First time here and last. I have driven past this place for years and finally had time to stop wish I didn't. Do ur self a favor and keep driving own by and go elsewhere to eat all they r missing church crosses to ease ur pocket book when u pay

★★★★★ 5.0 James Royal · May 2025

Great place for good ole southern hospitality and foods, very large place. Very friendly folks running the place and staying on top with professional service for everyone, definitely worth checking out the all you can eat buffet which for sure can fill you up on your favorite southern food.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Kuristien Allen · Dec 2025

Our first time here and I wasn’t impressed. Over $40 per person for a “seafood” buffet and THE only “seafood” on the buffet was: boiled shrimp, fried shrimp and fried oysters. That’s it. They had fried catfish but I don’t consider that a seafood option. It’s the south, there’s catfish everywhere. If you’re charging “casino crab leg buffet” prices then you need more than just fried shrimp and oysters on the buffet to justify the price. Now if the flavor was there, it might would justify it but the flavor was bland. It just wasn’t there. Our waitress came twice- once to get our drink order and once more to give us our check. The service is extremely lacking and poor. And no it wasn’t busy.
