I have to say. This place has moved up my list of where to go eat when visiting home in MS. Saturday nights Seafood buffet is really really good. The oysters were cooked just perfect. The fish was seasoned great! Hubby says the frog legs were seasoned really well and he really enjoyed them. There were some of the shrimp dishes that the shrimp was over cooked..but over all….this place is doing a great job and I hope anyone that sees this review will go give them a try! Seafood is only on Sat night…..hopefully it will continue to do well and they will consider expanding to other nights as well. I wish I had thought to take a pic of the buffet or at least my plate …..but I was way too busy eating!!

Clean and very well organized. Waitress accommodating and timely. Wide variety of shrimp, fish, fried oysters, then corn fritters, ribs, peach cobbler, etc…I was very pleasantly surprised by the overall variety of food. We certainly will be coming back soon and often.

We went as a group and had a wonderful time. The fish was excellent along with all of the other items on the bar and fixings. They were continually being updated with fresh cooked or fresh made items. Vegetables were spot on and they also had turnupgreens on our visit. That along was desert enough however they also had a desert bar. I had the banana pudding. I can't imagine anyone leaving there without a smile or still hungry. It is a great place to go especially for Ackerman and the surrounding areas. Great staff and atmosphere. Make a plan to visit.

I was going to try out the new place I’d been hearing about. Googled to find the times open, looked at the menu on google on the drive down, when we got there, it’s no menu, just buffet.. Fish and Shrimp was delicious on the buffet.. We had a sweet server that was trying to stay on top of things.. I was not going for the buffet, and with a buffet I would have expected more options.. Will give them awhile to get things going before I return. And it took a minute to figure out where you enter at, no signs.. It’s on the side of building not front. Would have drove away had someone not came out the side door and we asked.
