I’ve been here several times and I brought my friend for the first time for a Valentine’s breakfast and she loved it!! Now she’s curious about the dinner. This place never fails with the food and service.

Exceptional buffet restaurant. Clean, well attended & the food was excellent. Even at 2:00 on a weekday, everything was fresh & restocked frequently. Catfish & fried chicken are worth the price of admission alone! Must try if you’re looking for good old fashioned, down-home food.

This is an absolute must stop if you’re passing through or if Jackson is your destination. No matter what your plans are. Make sure that you make time for this place because it is truly an unforgettable experience for the entire family. I could stop it just the food, it’s amazing in it of itself but then the retail space, the ice cream, which is unbelievable, the whole entire ambience is out of this world.
Truly a unique Tenneessee experience and a little bit of everything Tennessee all on one campus. I have to admit that the ice cream parlor and soda shop was my absolute favorite. Considering even after we stuffed ourselves with food, everyone walked out with something cold, be it a shake or ice cream cone I’d say my family feels the same way as I do.

Anytime I get a chance to stop in Jackson,TN I have to visit Casey Jones buffet. It’s gone up in price over the years but what hasn’t . Delicious food and plethora of options. If your appetite, is it big enough for the buffet? Get you a to-go place!

We absolutely loved the buffet! Everything was very tasty, well seasoned and delicious. If I had anything negative to say it would be that most of the food was lukewarm—just not hot enough. We didn’t have time to see everything here this trip, but we will be back to eat again and shop around!

I was blessed with the opportunity to try this restaurant out after hearing about it from one of my coworkers. The food was pretty good. The catfish was extremely good. The only thing I didnt really like was the taste of the lemonade. Overall this place is pretty nice, it reminds me of a Cracker Barrel before they became woke.

4/24 – Brookie’s Barn. I went to try their food on a recommendation. I thought I went the wrong way, but it’s deep in the back. You walk in and seat yourself. I waited to get the okay to eat. Regular customers sat down and went straight to the buffet.
Rachel was the server on duty and she did great handling the customers. I never went without water or felt like I couldn’t ask for anything. She’s great!
Linda kept the food stocked up with fresh dishes. She looks out for her customers and lets them know she is bringing more out. Linda has a good attitude and makes one feel welcomed and comfortable.
The food is great. Like I said, it’s all fresh and warm. The variety of choices is plentiful. If you feel they don’t have enough, then you might be a little picky.
I’m a big man with a strong appetite, and I enjoyed a little bit of everything. I recommend you try the apple fritters. They were delicious . If you’re into comfort foods, this is the place!

Traveling through Tennessee, my family stopped at Brook Shawn’s Old Country Buffet. We were very disappointed. The food looked and tasted like it had been on the buffet ALL day. Nothing was fresh. If you like southern greens and beans, I guess this is your place. This place is a tourist trap. On their website, they advertise 17.99 for dinner on a Friday. We were charged 25.99. When we asked about it, they got a little snarky. When we shown the website they did refund some of the money with attitude. If you want a good quality meal, DO NOT STOP HERE! If Tennessee’s health department inspected this establishment, they would be shut down.

This is a really cute little country store. They have a southern-style food buffet with lots of choices of meats and vegetables. You can look at the buffet menu by day on their website. You walk into the store and pay for the buffet and your drink. They offer discounts for military and first responders and anyone 60 and over. There is also a large salad bar. The food is really good. There are lots of charging stations in the parking lot and a small train museum and gift shop. This was a great stop for us on a trip from Memphis to Nashville.

Buffet style restaurant at $19.99 per plate it’s a bit pricey but the food is worth it. You pay at the counter before entering the dining area but a waitress will bring drinks and clear plates for you. We had a little redhead named Amy and she was outstanding. For the food the fried catfish, ribs & peach cobbler are a must. It’s all good so just give it a try. There is also a gift shop, diner and ice cream shop on site.
