★★★☆☆ 3.0 OHZ WIN · Nov 2025

ate here today, round 10:30 am based on reviews I read that were very positive. Well!!! here we go!!! I never understand why buffet set ups NEVER label what the food is and leave you to guess, I just don't get it. Labeling what crap is takes NOOOO TIME at all, lame to not do it. The fried chicken was OUTSTANDING, COOKED TO PERFECTION. I also had some stewed yellow squash, it had NO herbs or seasoning & was mushy, maybe slightly over cooked I guess. I also took a fried chic gizzard to taste it and I was unable to eat it, it was not cooked properly, was like shoe leather and I was totally unable to chew it up, ended up spitting it out. Biscuit was ok and the yeast roll was much better. Meatballs I had were just ok, no notable awesome flavor, just ok. The meatball was tender though. Don't thi

This was my first visit; and I let the staff know. The food was pretty good, but I am not inclined to return. Paul’s cashier expresses a condescending disposition of being bothered by simple questions. When I asked questions: She responded rudely, as if answers should have been known info to a first time patron. The food is self-serve. Not the best set up, as it wasn’t properly covered or heat- regulated. Although she was rude, I treated the cashier with courtesy, as I would anyone handling my food. When the cashier looked into my box, which I had no issue with as it was self service buffet; she didn’t clean her hands. She opened boxes after just handling cash, and disregarded the need for hand-washing, sanitizing, or gloves before handling my food. I was inclined to just leave the food

It does not get more Southern than this and it comes complete with some of the best Southern hospitality from the staff. You can choose a meat and two vegetables buffet style. They have a huge variety, just note if your looking for healthy go elsewhere. The food was great and for the food you get, you can’t beat the price!

What a little gem to stumble upon! Tasted like my Granny's on a Sunday after Church! If you allow yourself time to slow down and take the scenic route, you'll find the friendliest people and some of the best fried chicken you've ever had ! Yum!
