When our relatives told us to get there before 10 for thanksgiving dinner, we thought they were nuts…. Until we got there. They were smart, the line ended up being A SOLID QUARTER MILE LONG. We had come from ohio, the people in front of us came from Virginia. To eat there. We were the only people that didn’t have to wait a long time, I feel sorry for those at the end of that quarter mile. I was very surprised at the all you can eat format, it made me wish I was bulimic . I know, I’m insensitive. Anyway, the waitress was super nice, the table was a little small for the amount of food on there. As other people have mentioned, they bring out a lot of small portions of stuff. If I was broke and hungry, I could eat for years off of what other people didn’t eat that was brought out. Not a criticism, just an observation. Anyway, they brought out turkey and ham, I had the ham, it was three thin cold strips on a plate. I feel like it would be a lot better if these slices were thicker. The ham itself was very good. The mac and cheese was real. They didn’t load it up with flour to save money. The strawberry salad was incredible. The server interrupted us a lot, but it’s thanksgiving, there is a quarter mile line outside and she had a job to do so I didn’t take offense. They only take cash. That alone would be reason to return. They also give to the community, when disaster struck recently they were there for everybody. They make sure everybody was fed and water at no charge. What a great way to make sure your business succeeds! It took a long time to pay and get out of there but again, it’s thanksgiving.
Will I go back? I definitely will. What makes this place all that? It’s the food. It’s real. And that’s really all it is. Real food. You don’t see a Sysco truck backing up. They don’t buy Frozen turkey roll.
I gave four stars out of five only because of what a zoo it was, I’m sure this is going to upgrade to five on my next visit.

Seated. Waited 10 minutes
Walk back to host desk to ask if there are any servers on duty. She walks back to dining room with me and gets a server. Cornbread and rolls very good. Tea great, coffee fair.
Chicken tenders, small pieces of dried out chicken some too hard to eat. Alaskan white fish, that could be anything as long as it’s white, way overcooked. Tartar sauce good. All side dishes barely warm and flavorless. Carrot soufle and potatoes ok. White gravy flavorless and barely warm. Desserts were good. Server was pleasant.
We visited due to being highly rated but certainly did not experience anything to deserve a high rating.

Family style dinner. Daily menu on chalkboard outside right of building. Park over there for sure. We came in other side and didn’t see menu. You choose two meats for table and get all the sides along with bread for table. Everyone gets their own dessert. Not sure on prices but was $65 for 3 adults and one 4 year old.
Food was delicious. Can’t take leftovers but you will leave full. Recommend the buttermilk chicken if available.

We had a party of 6 and came this past Sunday. First the lady at the counter said 20-30 minute wait and we were seated 1 hour after. We received only 1 refill on my wife’s and I drinks the entire meal and my daughter finally got her refill after desert after asking several times. They brought out super tiny portions for a table of 6. Everytime we would ask for more it took forever to get sides. We went because they had a bunch of deserts advertised including pumpkin pie but at the end the waitress said All they had was ice cream or banana pudding. Maybe it was an off day but was terrible from start to finish and it takes a lot for me to leave a bad review on a mom and pop place. Below is a picture of the tiny portions for the price you pay.

Wow. Just WOW. What wonderful home cooked food. Truly a delicious restaurant with friendly caring service. Not a typical restaurant as they do not give you a menu. It is a pick your meat and get what you get as sides. Which was a wonderful selection of sides. Meatloaf and fried chicken tenders were SO good. All the sides were delicious too. Dessert is included- we choose butterscotch pie and peanut butter pie. It did not disappoint. Kids ages 3-5 also were just 5 bucks!! Lemonade and sweet tea tasted homemade and were perfect! We will definitely be back before we leave this little town!

Food was great. I do wish they’d offer more than 2 meats. It was just my wife and I. We felt the service was lacking, and it wasn’t that busy yet. Our server kept paying us by to help another table with more people yet we were supposed to be served by him. Other than the service, all was good. We drove 2 1/2 hours to try this place. We’d do it again!

Five out of five of our party says they will not be back.
Long wait which was fine. Waited about 10 mins for drink, we were asked if we saw the menu, I said no we dont have menu she said they were on the wall in the waiting hall. Rolls and cornbread came out we all loved the cornbread. The fried chicken is only breast and legs, I guess they keep the thighs for something else. The chicken leg bones were black almost like a rot and bone broke in half. The breast were not done at all pink inside but crispy on outside.
The catfish was ok, the sides were like leftovers from yesterday’s supper, spongy snd dry, my grandmother would have walked back to the kitchen threw her apron on and taught them a thing or two. I truly have no idea what the hype is about this place.
One star for cornbread
Second star for the scenic drive there.
If you go get the ham and catfish while walking out the smoked ham smelled delish.
There you go have a back yard pull up party for tailgating cornbread, ham and sweet tea back door only $10. This would be the only way I would ever come back.
We ate here once before about two years ago, I could have swore I said no more but again I was outvoted and too tired to make a fuss, I would have been better off throwing a hundred out the window.

Great dining experience, exceptional service, tremendous family and warm atmosphere. I unexpectedly met Rachel the Owner and her father the “Farmer”. Treated my family and I like we were eating Thanksgiving dinner in their home. Same can be said of the serving staff, everyone infectiously friendly and serving with smiling faces. Highly recommend, worth the beautiful and scenic drive from any Tri-City area. Also know these folk are local heroes from the 2024 floods. They fed thousands of people in the area when families couldn’t feed themselves when they lost their homes and power. They did this at no cost to those they served. Check them out, you will not be disappointed.
