Fried chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy, okra, and pot roast to die for. Absolutely delicious. Huge cakes in many different flavors waiting for you to enjoy a slice. Num num

The only reason it gets two stars is because the waitress was very pleasant. I hope she finds a better place to work. Pancakes were just store bought mix. Syrup was Mrs. Buttersworth they couldn’t be bothered to put in a bottle. The sausage tasted like it was maybe a few days passed… how do you make eggs taste meh?

As locals, my hubby & I have made Granny Cantrell's a favorite for lunch or early dinner over the last few years... even telling our friends & neighbors. We have tried their buffet entrées that change throughout the week. Time has definitely overshadowed food quality: we have experienced, believe it or not, my hubby loves Meat Loaf, however, what we experienced there in the past was meatless Meat Loaf...just filler, period. I am not exaggerating. We stayed away because of the several disappointments in the past 6 months. We decided to visit last Friday, only to find mashed potatoes that you could not consume to the overload of salt...just last Friday! Way undercooked fish... transparent fish flesh is NOT appetizing.
I did not finish my meal...it was that unappetizing. I told my hubby, NEVER again. We always buy the white plate, however, the quality is so poor that you are wasting your money.
I loved their beef liver, their chicken liver menu days...and of course their fried chicken, and even their baked chicken (which happened to be very good last Friday.)We have tried...but not anymore.
(Also, I witnessed a kitchen staff wipe his brow, then wipe the serving area of the buffet.)
