Delicious! Great servers!! Only thing, it's a little expensive.. 18 dollars a person for lunch buffet. Bring some lower lunch prices and some specials.. they'll pack in there even deeper yall.

Ate here for the first time today after church (March 30 2025) . I was expecting a long wait but surprisingly we quickly got a table. Service was good and food was excellent. Our favorite was fried tomatoes and fat back. It was an hour drive from home but well worth it. We will be back.

The first thing you notice is the front porch & the wall painting that says fried green tomatoes. They welcome you right on in and both the atmosphere and they decour are charming and warm. They make you feel right at home. Our group got there for the breakfast bar and it was amazing. The grits were smooth and hot, the scrambled eggs were fluffy. They offered a variety of breakfast meats including what looked like a liver pudding or Scrapple. The biscuits and gravy were melt in your mouth delicious. They had a separate bar for butter and cheese, etc. Directly behind that bar, on the counter, were two mason jars filled with fresh whipped strawberry and honey butters. They had a loaf of banana bread out next to them. The strawberry butter is so good on a biscuit! It's worth saying that my coffee never got cold either, the service is thoughtful and friendly. Overall, my meal was perfect and on the next trip to the mountains I will aim at getting there for lunch to try their fried green tomatoes. I love this place!

For a buffet style you cannot beat the food. The peach cobbler was chef's kiss Vienna was a wonderful server that took great care of us. We were traveling through from The triad of NC and we're not disappointed.

If you leave here hungry it is your own fault. There is a reason the line is out the door every weekend. The food was amazing. Everyone that worked there was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back again.

This is an excellent place to eat!!! I love to go on Fridays because they have fried fish!!! It is really, really good! Their fried chicken is the best in the area for sure! A real gem of a place to eat! It is only a couple dollars more than most sit down restaurants, and it is a buffet! Check it out when you are in the area!!!
