★★★★★ 5.0 Toasted Maple · Jan 2026

Really delicious!! We had to change our route to get a chance to take our breakfast here, really delicious and the taste really natural. Even the ketchup is 100% natural tomato. I am visiting the US, Traveled from Tennessee to Chicago today and I loved this place to eat. If I lived here I'll come really often!! Hope we visit again?

This is a great throwback to delicious simple food and ways. Clean dining room and bathrooms, helpful cheerful staff. Super mashed potatoes and gravy and the salad bar was so fresh. Salad bar had chopped chicken tenders so could be a complete meal but you wouldn't want to miss the desert. The day we were there they had meatloaf, both white and dark fried chicken, and Salisbury steak. Steak ran out while we were there and looked very delicious. Lunch buffet was 11.99. salad bar 8$. Excellent value.

Perfect gem in the area, definitely the best homemade food offered on a buffet. Super friendly family owners and extremely clean. Highly recommend

Just flat out great food, hand made by good folks. Each day they have different items for lunch, but you gotta save room for the desserts - best coconut cake I’ve ever had! Worth the drive off the highway.

The food is freshly prepared everyday and is very very good! Chicken is always perfect! Veggies are also very good! They are very friendly and help you if you need it. The service is great and they don't let you run out of drinks. The buffet is very well priced for the QUALITY and it's not junk you get at a lot of buffets. I eat one plate and I am pretty full! The food is so satisfying! Desserts are wonderful and fresh! Located right next to the fire department. Its just a great place to eat and they are so nice! Try it out you'll like it!!
