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.

During our camping trip at the nearby Victoria Bryant State Park, we stumbled upon this hidden gem! The fried chicken here is hands down the best we've ever had - perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The buffet, which includes a nice salad bar, is only $14. I opted for an entree with 3 sides for $11.99, and the portion was so generous that I ended up taking some home with me. My friend tried the fried catfish, which was also delicious with a mild flavor. The mashed potatoes were real and slightly lumpy, just the way we like them. The workers had the best attitude and were so friendly! Thank you for a wonderful meal experience. Meal type: Lunch.

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!
