We came here after recommendation from a friend. We were seated in a less busy area; maybe us wearing masks directed that choice. The mashed potatoes were piping hot and smooth, and the fried chicken was very crispy and well seasoned. I’ve heard their grouper fried fish is good on Fridays as well, but we did not try that. We were well tended to – our waitress was very friendly and refilled our waters very promptly. I was just slightly uncomfortable by some of the stares we got….But, if you are able to ignore the politically forward decor, this is a great place to dine and enjoy a good ole American meal for a good price.

Our server is always friendly and on the spot with all of her tables. She was Great! We got there at 1015. Salad bar was open and the lunch was good at 1040. Our drink was never empty. Thank you

The best fried chicken in the area! Maybe the state! Smoothest and creamiest mashed potatoes I’ve had outside of a Michelin star restaurant and better than most of them!!

Absolutely delicious!! I had the roast beef Manhattan, with real beef roast, and the flavor was amazing! My husband had the buffet and loved every bit of it. He said the chicken was perfect and the green beans tasted like home grown. There were also meat balls that he said tasted like delicious little meatloaves.

Great fried chicken. The stuffing was great, potatoes not so much. The salads were great, hot veggies not so much. Friendly Folks work her and eat here.

One of the best meals we had on our visit. When they say, “We cook like your Grandma.” they mean it. Everything was delicious.

. Nothing to choose from for a buffet for about 15.00. 1 meat, 1 veg , mashed potatoes were good but runny, stuffing was no flavor but salt. Rolls and 2 desserts. Ice cream was even bad. Toppings were old and stale in containers. The ac vent above our table was so blocked up with dirt it was horrible. Stuff probably falls from the filers they can’t breath and bad on your ac . We will not be back there were 4 of us. Yoders will get my business back. 10 times better.

Used to eat here quite a bit as there are minimal choices of restaurants in this area. Headed in the door the other day and by the salad bar stood a life sized cardboard cutout of Donald Trump. We left and won’t be going back. Businesses should know to keep politics off limits. The food choices aren’t usually very good anyway, so we’ll just go elsewhere.
