While it wasn't overly fancy, I truly enjoyed everything I had on my plate. I was concerned that the brisket or chicken might be dry, but I was happily surprised by their rich flavor. The banana pudding for dessert was a wonderful way to end the meal!

If you love freshly baked homemade bread and pies adorned with tall meringue, this is the place to be. Lunch is a bit on the pricey side, but it's absolutely worth every cent.

While I usually opt to order from the menu because I’m a huge fan of the pork chops, every dish I’ve tried here has been excellent. We visited with a large group of over 15 people, and the service was top-notch. I won’t attempt to review every item we ordered, but I can confidently say that the brisket, fried fish, and pork chops were all delicious and loved by everyone. The desserts are wonderful too! Make sure to arrive hungry and leave space for the soft serve ice cream or the homemade pies.

Every dish of comfort food was incredibly tasty, from the unlimited, melt-in-your-mouth brisket to the perfectly seasoned fried chicken. They even offered chicken fried steak on the buffet. The price also included a selection of their homemade pies, adding great value. There's a gift shop with local products right at the entrance. We’ll definitely be back!
