Description

In the heart of Covington, this restaurant has become a contentious dining destination. While long-time patrons fondly recall its excellent barbecue, fried chicken, and homemade desserts, recent experiences reflect a decline. Customers describe the buffet as lackluster, with flavors overshadowed by excessive frying and unappetizing salads. Confusion in service, particularly regarding menu items, adds to frustrations. Yet, dedicated regulars remember the warm atmosphere and diverse menu that once made it a favorite, highlighting the need for a revival of its former culinary glory. For those seeking comfort food on a budget, it remains a mixed bag of nostalgia and disappointment.

Actual conversation we just had on the phone: “Do you do take away?” “Okay I’d like to place an order.” “What would you like?” “I’d like two prime ribs, one medium, one medium rare.” “I don’t think we have have ribs today.” “No, the prime rib. “The rib-eye?” “No, the prime rib. It’s a steak. On your menu.” “Hold on.” Placed on hold indefinitely. Hang up. Call back. “Can I speak to a manager?” “Hang on.” Pause. “They’re not here right now.” “Were you able to figure out if you have a prime rib?” That’s when she hangs up.

The fried chicken is great and if you're lucky, you might get some of the awesome coconut cake.

8 of us ate there Saturday night. The buffet was fantastic. Fried chicken, bbq chicken, pork chops riblets. Just about every vegetable you could think of. Salad bar was very good. Then about 10 desserts to chose from. First time I have ever eaten there. The sad thing, it wasn’t very crowded. I say “Come to Millington.” We do not have anything like this restaurant. I believe it would be packed in Millington, but I will still go back to Covington to eat there again! Definitely going to have to try their breakfast.

This is a buffet style restaurant. Normally, I do not like buffet; however, this was different. The area was kept very clean and attention was given to the steam table often. The vegetables tasted like fresh vegetables and were seasoned perfectly. The meats were not dried out and the ribs were simply delicious. The dining room was spacious and very clean. The food was just downright good.
