    It'd been 20+ years since I ate here. Slim Jim's still on the menu and as good as I remembered.

    Love this place!! They can SEASON that breakfast. The one of few places in Sumter that can cook. Gets crowded but understandable.

    Breakfast buffet needed to be kept well supplied. Was out of many items. It was over priced should include coffee with buffet.

    Was very busy for Thanksgiving dinner. However we had a small group and didn't want to cook. The staff was pleasant which made it enjoyable in spite of it being so packed. Food was decent, except honestly for the turkey. It tasted like it was boiled but otherwise everything was delicious including the fried chicken and the pie and peach cobbler
