    Amazing food. Settled in a little village type setting called Casey Jones Village. Cute little gift shop with lots of things to choose from. Something for everyone from the itty bitty to the old timers. Friendly employees. Similar to Cracker Barrel but better food, more room & all you can eat. Great atmosphere. Good service. Stopped on the way to our destination & on the way back.

    We had an early dinner on Friday night-arrived before 5 pm. I had read the menu on line so we knew what was on the buffet. I'll list the food I tried-fried chicken ,fresh & great-chicken nuggets-ok but fresh-mashed potatoes fresh & great, cabbage -great, green beans with red potatoes-great, Mac & cheese ok spoon was coated. Fried catfish-fresh but did not try it. Greens-great, salad bar-fresh & good, fritters -seemed undercooked, yeast rolls-very good. The desert bar was the probably-three cobblers-2 were picked through & weren't ever replaced with fresh-apple & black berry. Cornbread tamale pie-picked over -just ok. The smaller peach cobbler was replaced twice. There was no banana pudding. I asked for cobblers & banana pudding twice within our 2 hour meal on a Friday night. We were about to leave the banana pudding came out. It was runny ,bland ,mostly cookies. No bread pudding on buffet. Cute place with great service. Ice cream shop & cute country store with nice t shirts & other apparel. We were disappointed in the buffet.

    This location is a tried and true. Food always delish and service just as good. We always stop by here when we are in the area or just coming on purpose. There is a train museum on site. And other little shops and stuff to explore. Inside you will find an old fashion candy store and ice cream shop. And the deli on the other side serves the same buffet food for the to-go crowd. I love the ambience of the old county style of days gone by.

    What a cute place. It reminded me of Cracker Barrel except they offer much more. The first thing you notice is the ice cream and candy section. Then your eyes move to the right and they sell an assortment of accessories and shirts. But the main reason we came here was to EAT! That's straight and to the left. The dining areas are split into sections and there is plenty of seating. There was a large salad bar, 4 types of soups(also gumbo at the farthest section), a small dessert section with a choice of peach or blackberry cobbler, and 3 hot bars. My favorites were the fried chicken and fried catfish. Everything was delicious and the waitstaff never let our drinks run out. Next time we go to Jackson, I want some more of that buffet and pick up some honey and a t-shirt too.

    Hash brown casserole, grits, potatoes...

    So this review is specifically for the breakfast buffet, which is only on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning, but I'm sure the dinner buffet is just as good! The selection of food was everything southern- biscuits, gravy, hash brown casserole, salty ham, grits, flapjacks, and more... and the food itself was so delicious. Everything was hot, the restaurant was full of people, and the service was fantastic. If you're looking for a place in Jackson to really enjoy a hot breakfast where it feels like great granny made everything herself, I'd highly recommend going here!

    If you are a fan of Appalachian grandma food, this is the spot for you. Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn bread, white beans... So good. All you are to eat. Plenty of seating, nice and spread out. You don't feel like you are right on top of the next table. We were a party of five on Friday evening at 6:30 PM. Seated pretty promptly and lots of refills. A great road trip spot!

    We stopped here for lunch on our way to Nashville. The only option was buffet. The buffet was huge with lots of options of meat, veggies and a lot of really good food. My favorites were the fried chicken and the Mac and cheese. The fried cornbread (a first for me) was delicious. Save a bit of room for the blackberry cobbler and banana pudding. If your traveling I40 in Tennessee near Jackson, you should stop here.

    You owe it to yourself to stop by and see these people if you're ever within an hour of Jackson, TN. These folks will treat you like family and I'm convinced there are older ladies doing the cooking. They have bluegrass picking on Thursday nights. There's a lady grilling hot water cornbread to order. The lovely Jessica B. and Amanda C. will make certain your sweet tea never gets halfway to empty. You'll want to hug someone's neck before you leave.

    Service was good, food was not... especially considering it was basic breakfast staples that should be hard to mess up.

I loved visiting the store with all of the cool souvenirs and other little trinkets. They also had lots of cool stuff for the kiddos and all of the old school candy for us. On to the food and service! Everything was just lovely. Our server was so amazing and would check on us often throughout our visit. Not only was she kind, but the hostess and the cashier that took our payments. The food was delicious. I had the fish, baked chicken, roast, and fried pork chops for my meats. All of them were seasoned to perfection. For my sides, I had the spinach casserole, greens, mac and cheese. I enjoyed my veggies (so did baby boy, lol). The sweat tea to top it off tasted homemade. It reminded me of the tea my grandmother would make back in the day. Added bonus...the play area for children. My baby boy had an amazing time playing! Great experience!

We were going to do lunch at whatever…read morechain restaurant was available off the exit until we saw a billboard for Casey Jones Village. I'm so glad that we came here instead. I can totally understand why field trips and tour busses stop here. They have a restaurant, general store, a museum, garden, church, little walking area and a train. We spent an hour here and could've easily spent an hour or two more. The food was typical southern comfort style, hot and fresh and hearty. The staff were friendly. There's plenty of parking in the huge lot.
