Cooks Cafe Express - DeLand

The waitress Kim was excellent, It was all home cooked food. The food was excellent the reason I didn't give it a 5 star they didn't use real butter and on their salad bar they didn't have chopped celery and hard boiled eggs. Whatever kind of butter that used, Didn't work well with mashed potatoes And vegetables. I'm used to land O' lakes butter. Please who's ever reading this make sure you use real butter. I don't mind paying extra for good butter.

'Comfy ' place. A buffet kinda place...yes, it 's got the line...yes, it 's got a nice variety of salads, soup, FABULOUS lamb (and ham and roast beef , and your typical 'buffet ' vegetables...and desserts you can only dream about! (There was a cake...at least 12 inches high! The basket of piping hot bread and not just slices of bread or re warmed rolls a buttery/garlicky light bread that you HAD to eat! It was THAT good! Plusses? The LAMB and the carver who serves all the meats. The 'garlic mashed potatoes '. The bread...served by the wait staff. The genuine warmth of the wait staff! And the desserts (also served by wait staff . And if you get there at a busy time, waiting in the outside gardens is also a plus! Next time you travel through DeLand, stop at Cooks.

Fabulous food, great service (ask for Christine! and reasonable prices in a homey, relaxed and beautiful atmosphere. What more can you want?!

Let's get to the important part the food was excellent, the people were incredibly polite, I would call it modern Southern manners. I enjoyed the parmesan encrusted fish she was pleased with the lamb everything was perfectly cooked you do get your own sides plenty to choose from and a large salad bar. I can't get over how thoroughly enjoyable our lunch was we had paid to get dessert with it. We were full so they made us dessert to go definitely a positive experience that you will enjoy

Amazing old school buffet. Prices were nice a d you get unlimited salad bar with a choice of a serving of meat. The Lamb and roast beef were amazing. The desserts were all home made and huge. Totally worth the cost. We enjoyed our meal and has some left to take home as well.
