The buffet is so good!
Just so you know you can also get the buffet Togo.
The service has always been fantastic and very friendly. I would definitely recommend the Sunday all day brunch where you can get all the most delicious breakfast items all day long. If you don’t come on Sunday you can still get a great dinner or lunch any day of the week.

Servers are a little bit slow getting your stuff to you.
The catfish and chicken is pretty good.
Heard them say when they ran out of chicken and it takes 20 minutes to get it back on the bar.

Buffet for three people with military discounts.....over 57.00. NOT a fifty dollar buffet!! Day after we are all sick as heck!!!! Do not recommend. Food was dried out. Apparently not keeping up with food temperature and health concerns.

I hate writing this because I used to love this place. I was here today at 4pm and got the buffet. Worst I have ever experienced. Everything is dried out. The beef n cabbage soup is my favorite but god today it looked like it had been sitting on the bar for three days, all the soups did. I ate the fish which was good and the hamburger steamed are ok but the gravy has a slight bitter flavor. Not happy today. The bar definitely was not rotated out. The chilli tasted like it had been sitting for hours.
