Blah blah blah is all I can really say. the owners were super nice but my son ran out of drink after just a few minutes and was never offered a refill. we had to pay adult price for him to eat nothing but half of a bowl of rice. everything was straight out of a can or box including instant mashed potatoes which when I explained to the waitress that my son is accustomed to real home cooking with real potatoes she swore they use real Idaho potatoes there.... oh yes the ones that say Idaho on the box as I promise the mashed potatoes from KFC are better. The fried chicken tasted more like the grease it was fried in then fried chicken. My daughter ate the food but she will pretty much eat almost any food that is edible... I have had better mac and cheese out of a box... the only thing I can really say that was good was some type of pineapple cake and the strawberries. It is cheap if you are going to eat the food but to pay 7 dollars plus a dollar fifty for a drink for my son to eat half a bowl of rice and drink one glass of sprite is absurd. my daughter probably ate the cost of hers since it was only $4 for a child plate but I assure you I did not even eat my moneys worth and only had one glass of tea as it was never refilled either. they do seem to pay a lot of attention to their regulars but for us being first timers they seemed that they could have cared less if we were taken care of or not. but for the life of me I cant understand why they have regulars unless these poor people were raised on canned vegetables with no seasonings their entire lives. i was hesitant to try it after reading the reviews but figured what the heck someone said they had a lot of vegetables which is pretty much all my son eats . had I known that this was basically school food on a bad day we would not have bothered...

I live nearby and eat here every now and then. Its under $7 for all you can eat. So you get what you pay for. Mac n cheese is good(better when you add your own salt) I dont believe anyway there is really homemade but they prepare it well. Ice tea is .99.........the people that gave 1/2 star or are complaining were expecting a Golden Corral experience for half the price. If your low on cash and want to eat out, this is the spot. If you have extra cash, go to hibachi or Golden Corral where they have steak. Dont expect to find steak here or any expensive meat......oh yeah NEVER EAT THE MEATLOAF!!!!!!!! They have other locations but this is the only one Ive tried.

One of my favorite places to take the family. Ive eaten here often over the years and have never had a bad experience like these other people are claiming. The hospitality beats any restaurant Ive ever eaten at. For example, theyll seat elderly folks close to the bar so they wont have to walk as far, greet everyone when they walk through the door and love on kids for good behavior. The food is good, too... easily as good as youd get at a Ryans even though the variety isnt as huge (this is a much smaller place.) Its hard for a "mom & pop" place to compete, and since this place has been around for years, clearly theyre doing something right!

The atmosphere is friendly, kinda like you just came home, and you are greeted as you come in. The food is excellent, well placed, and replenish often. The food is well seasoned and consistent in taste each time we go there. We travel 10 miles to get there and it is worth each mile of the drive. We frequent the restaurant approximately 3 times a week to dine in. The workers are friendly and replenishes your drink often. They check with you often to make sure you are satisfied. We recommend this place highly.

Was looking for some homestyle southern cooking. Still looking. The food was either dry or runny. Some sort of fish (sign said salmon special ) kept between peach and apple cobbler. I feel bad for the wait staff. No amount of friendly and attentive service can make up for bad food. Save your time, this is not a diamond in the rough. I understand buffets can be hit and miss, but only the ketchup was fresh and it was in packs on the salad bar. Stirring water into food on the buffet does not make it fresh.

Not your normal place. I was born and raised in the South so I was surprised to see so many processed foods on the buffet. I was slightly appalled until I discovered it was owned by Koreans (or Chinese). 95% of the food was clearly not made from scratch. From the fried chicken all the way down to the Kraft box looking, tasteless mac n cheese. Mens restroom was out of order. My stall was out of toilet paper in the womens. Just messy. Wont be back. Wait staff was nice though.

its ok.. a bit over priced... the kids love it because they can make their own salad any way they want, one of the few occasions we can get them to eat a salad then they get to make their own sundae when theyre finished eating. The service is on par.. Pizza is better than CCs I give it only 3 stars because most of the hot food is bland and lacking any flavor.

So awful. There was a roach crawling on the side of the buffet counter. And as another poster mentioned the food is bland. The roach should have been the giveaway. Cant believe I stayed for at least one serving. So disgusting. Do yourself a favor...avoid this place.

Fantastic food! Great owners! GREAT service! Love this place! Great prices! If you want some great home cooking all you can eat visit them! We wish they were closer to us. We try to eat there at least every week if not once a week! On our way there tonight.

Food was dried out, especially the meat. It was tasteless. Yuck. Not that great of a selection either, for the price. Compare it to the Golden Corral and Green Tomatoes comes in very low on the scale. Will not go back again.

Clean, well run establishment with good wholesome food. The prices are reasonable and the staff is very attentive. Our waitress refilled our drinks repeatedly without being asked. We will definitely return in the future.

Great place, outstanding customer service! I definitely enjoyed the company that the staff provides. My family was very satisfied, could work on that peach cobbler but I loved that chocolate cake with that ice cream

Only been there for lunch a few times. Very laid back atmosphere. Friendly staff. Standard southern variety. Good fried and baked chicken, yeast rolls. Chicken noodle soup is the best Ive ever had away from home.

I wouldnt even give this place one star, but I had no option not to. I was eating here recently and 2 roaches climbed across my table. My advise, eat somewhere else or go home and eat.
