For a small town like Sandersville, this a big hearty meal with prices so cheap you’ll drive a ways for it.
You walk in the door and go straight to the table with trays and silverware, then hit the buffet. Then by the drink counter, and pick your own table.
We went at 11:45am and the parking lot was pretty full but not everyone goes to the restaurant that parks there.
There was definitely a line, but it moved quickly. They had stuff I’ve never seen on a buffet, like hoecakes, corn nuggets, fatback, fried squash medallions, cheese grits, and Brunswick stew, alongside your normal offerings of potato salad, macaroni salad, mixed salad and fixings, cornbread muffins and biscuits, black-eyed peas and rice, fried chicken, fried fish, green beans with ham hocks, macaroni and cheese, some kind of cherry or raspberry cobbler, and they had the most delicious chocolate chip cookie pie with whipped cream. I hardly ever have dessert but I went back for seconds on that. You could tell the cookies and cream were homemade. Hell, everything was.
Plenty of open tables and everyone was friendly, like you’d expect in rural Georgia.
They kept our glasses filled and cleared our trays as soon as we sat back to relax before round two.
It was just the two of us but we overheard a family of 6 ate for $52 because two were kids under 10 and they ate free.
It’s $12.96 per person for an all you can eat country homemade buffet makes for a rare gem in a cute town.

Everything was fresh and yummy!
Southern cuisine is my favorite !

Very well run and the food is delicious! Brought a crew from work their for lunch and everyone enjoyed it, though some ate too much and were worthless the rest of the day!

Great place to have lunch. Buffet style restaurant with home cooking and a nice salad bar. I just wish they were open for breakfast and dinner.

We are all about trying new things. we were in the area and was going to Mexican but they were packed so we decided to try Chester Dean’s or Pickle Barrel; we ended up at Chester Dean’s because it smelled delicious and the menu online looked good. Well, it wasn’t as good as it looked/smelled. The bbq was dry and most other items tasted watered down. The skin on the fried chicken was good and the tea was good, but that’s about it. Not a lot to choose from as they have only one bar line that consists of a few meats, a few veggies, dessert and salad. Honestly wasn’t impressed at all with the food. The service was ok, as soon as I walked in to see if they had room for 2, I was able to be seated immediately, so that’s a reasonable accommodation. I gave 4 stars because we’d never been there before so I thought someone brought us our drinks, so we just sat at the table for about 5 minutes waiting on someone to take our drink order not knowing you get your own when you go to fix your plate. Not once did they come and refill our cups though, we had to grab another glass when we ran out (they filled others cups though). The place was clean for the most part – however I didn’t notice them wiping down tables at all after people left (they might have but I just saw one of the girls take an old cup of water off the table after the last person left and immediately put someone else at that table). The layout of the restaurant is pretty crazy and hard to get through to the bar or back to your table if you’re sitting in the back room where we were because the register is in the middle of the restaurant in a “hallway” right in front of two doorways. This may be a good place for acquired taste buds, but we tried it and did not like it – nothing “country style” about it except the decor.

A wonderful discovery on our road trip from Lake Oconee to Florida (while avoiding the interstate highways on the Sunday after Thanksgiving). They opened right as we got there, and a line of Sunday regulars had already formed, indicating to us that the food would be great… and it was!

This was my first time eating there and it was 2 o’clock when I arrived and they closed at 3 which was fine and there was 4 of us we got our food and sit down, after 10 minutes of sitting down the people from the bar was coming up to us asking us if we wanted anything else to eat if so we need to go get it but I don’t like wasting food so I said I would wait then when I went there was no food like 30 minutes before closing What The Heck then same way with drink and I wanted dessert but I don’t eat fast and they were taking it up and I asked for a to go container and was told by a rude young lady telling me That Is The Rules heck I spent 50 dollars and didn’t even enjoy my food that was horrible never been rushed before while eating out they were just damn right rude and when I told the manager she was I sorry but didn’t seem to care as well, wow I told her I do reviews all the time on aces I visit and gone to and she was like who cares the attitude of that whole town is horrible,very rude and could care less attitude. If you are 1 hour close to them closing don’t go unless you can eat fast and don’t care bring rushed .

Lots of anonymous dishes which need to be labeled so people know what is on display in their buffet.
Food was good but has been better…
