“ This place is a local favorite for good reason! Their buffet is on the smaller side, but they make up for that by having high quality on all the food. This place has good southern comfort food for a fair price. Fried chicken, catfish and asparagus were my favorites from the buffet, and the blackberry cobbler and banana pudding were top tier. Really good service too, I never saw the bottom of my glass! ”
