★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Michael Singleton · Mar 2026

So I drove to Brookhaven to try the buffet and some off the menu items. When we arrived the restraunt was filled with riff raff and there was someone down on their face getting arrested outside the front door. I or anyone that I know will not be going here to eat anytime soon. Good thing Brookhaven has many other choices. Bad first impression.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jerry LaGrange · Jun 2024

We've been at Pappas several times lately. It's changed and it's going downhill that particular day. There was only two meats chicken that they always have and is really good but not enough to serve all the people in the building and a chicken fried steak. That was all right. The rest are fillers and desserts fruit bar. Nothing to write home about dessert bar. It's always good salads in a big selection. It was great too. Hopefully they'll pick back up and put it away. It used to be. We'll try again in a month or two.. So don't be disappointed if you go and don't like it. You did give it a try and tell them Y'all was not satisfied.

Had not been Poppa's restaurant for nearly 2 years but my expectations were greatly lifted as I thoroughly enjoyed my meal!

★★★★★ 5.0 Ramsey Hammad · Jun 2024

This place came highly recommended by my work colleagues who live in the area. The buffet was massive and had a huge selection of Southern comfort food. Practically every single thing you could ever imagine from the Southern cuisine was on the buffet. The prices are very reasonable too.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 SHANNON JENKINS · Dec 2025

This was our first time coming, the food was warm and not hot. My only complaint and regret was that I looked online at the buffet pictures and saw crab legs and to be told that we had to pay another $18.99 on top of $22.98 for the buffet was very heart breaking. We spent roughly $58 just to eat food that I could have brought from the grocery store and stayed home. Furthermore, my daughter paid $43 for her and her 6 year old son to eat, $10 is too much for the kids seafood buffet and no crab legs or crawfish was put out without paying another extra charge to get those items, I'm very DISAPPOINTED BY THIS FIRST TIME EXPERIENCE AND I WISH I COULD GET MY MONEY BACK OR ATLEAST GET A COMPLIMENTARY CRAB LEGS MEAL TO CHANGE MY DECISION IN THE FUTURE. Finally, we drove almost 2 hours from Vidalia
