Reviews
"While visiting Alabama, I heard great things about this buffet. There is a large variety of foods. My main issue was that some things were well seasoned, and some things were very bland. This is an all you can eat buffet, so of course it's self-serve. But the waitresses that come around and fill your drink were so nice and friendly. The staff was welcoming also. I'm not saying that it's awful, but it's just "ok" tasting (nothing to write home about, lol), in my opinion. There is a large variety to choose from, though. PS., the whole fried catfish was good."
"Was greeted with a very warm welcome and smile. With my first bite, I felt as if I was sitting in my grandmother's kitchen eating a truly home cooked meal. The options were tremendous. The corn reminded me of fresh from the garden to take sweet corn, light, and fluffy cornbread and fried fish. Homemade banana pudding with just the right amount of sweetness. Very friendly server and kept our glasses full and table cleared of plates. I will definitely tell everyone to stop by for a down home cooked meal. Can't wait to go back with my family for a great meal and options for everyone."
"A good place for a great meal . Great staff. Everyone is friendly and welcoming"
