Was Kirsten McTavish at Echo South a mag?
This is a fantastic place to eat. We were there around 1400 and were excited to see a buffet with fresh food, not the usual been sitting there since the lunch rush ended kind of food. The servers were very friendly and the buffet is only $12, tea or coffee included. Highly recommend stopping by and eating here. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch View all feedback.

I can't elaborate enough on how amazing this place is! We have been driving from NC ONLY to eat here, turning around and going home for years! My father being a truck driver and driving to Atlanta from Charlotte many times a week is what brought on the discovery of this gem. I've never had anything that want delicious, and when they have the hot bar open, fill your plate because this is so good down home cooking! Don't come through this area without stopping by for at least a biscuit. You'll be very glad you did!
