★★★★★ 5.0 Cynthia Ellison · Mar 2026

We tried the seafood buffet. The salad bar had a lot of options, the hot bar had hushpuppies, shrimp pasta, gumbo, salmon and more, along with the crab and shrimp, the dessert options were wonderful. This buffet was well-worth the money! Very upscale food for a tiny town!

We try to pop by at least once a week. I live for their home made jams, and pies, and their fry sauce is top notch. Ordered a sugar free coconut cream pie for my father in law for Christmas and plan to order custom cupcakes for my sons class for Valentines Day. Love their burgers also. Service is great.

Met my family for our monthly dinner. The buffet was wonderful, had something for everyone. It was almost like eating at home. We could visit and not have to yell. The staff was helpful and friendly

I enjoyed the BEST ham n beans I have ever had today. Twice a month on Tuesday ham n beans with pan fried potatoes with onions and cornbread. Mmm Mmm

As a person with food allergies I was very impressed with the way they went above and beyond with fixing my breakfast in a safe manner. They took the time to do it right, will eat here again...😁
