Been going to this Restaurant for over 25 yrs. I love this restaurant, the food & the owners. If you haven't been here you are MISSING OUT! Delicious home cooked food & great desserts. read more

What an amazing little gem in the middle of northeast Oklahoma. The food is off the charts with the most incredible yams I have ever eaten. The wait staff is very friendly and attentive. You can always ask for another plate and go back for more. read more

Food is always fresh and buffet stays stocked the ladies make sure of that! Good salad, fruit, and desert bar. Always leave satisfied and feel the pricing is reasonable. I drive a little over a 100 miles to eat there. My wife and I like it that much. read more

food the restaurant is buffet style, with one buffet bar in the room where our party sat and another, to the right from the entrance, that i did not raid, pun intentional, for the locals. nevertheless, the buffet bar in the room where we sat was plentiful and bountiful, and transitioned smoothly from the salad bar half to the main course food items. i got a plate and started eating fairly early upon getting to the table, but the two plates stacked at each place on the table helped me pace the meal, first with a course from the salad bar portion, then moving to the main course items, and dessert, obviously, a favorite of the auntie ma among our group. so, in order, i got a salad bar plate including a family favorite, beets, a main course plate with influence from lunch conversation and personal fav, chicken of the southern fry variety, and drumstick and thigh variations. and then, a generous half, including a perfectly flaky crust, also of a light texture. service the service was really good, with the two workers who served our table both displaying excellent service and customer interaction skills, and the worker at the register maintaining a steady flow in the waiting area up front. ambiance [[HIGHLIGHT]]continuing from the service section, the steady flow of customers is especially significant considering the location of a spacious gift shop just past the waiting area, which has a limit on space and seating, and of which includes fashionable clothing as well as snazzy knickknacks, and what have you.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]i'm also appreciative of the tasteful you of chinaware dishes, which as i mentioned to a unky of mines, the restaurant uses practically as well by stacking 2 at each place to pace the meal in courses.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Country Cottage Restaurant - salad course on top the china double plate is genius - American Near Me - Locust Grove, Oklahoma

Wonderful buffet...great value, good food, cheerful service...we came in starved, left stuffed and satisfied. Momma said the chicken noodle soup rocked..taking her work since I'm allergic. I had chicken fried steak and ham...with smashed taters, yams, Mac'n cheese, fried cabbage/onions and fresh baked rolls...topped of with a slice coconut cream pie...although their were a LOT of dessert options. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Decor is a bit dated...but it matches the name.... I have yet to taste decor, so it doesnt bother me at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Small boutique when you come in...lots of fun gifts, clothing, jewelry... We stopped in after a weekend of camping...the Sunday after church crowd was finishing up, and we came in...tired, dirty, smelling like campfire...and we were welcomed like we were family...maybe the stinky side, but family none-the-less.. Definitely worth the visit if you are looking for a buffet of American comfort foods. read more

This was my first time to eat at this restaurant. I definitely will be returning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Much of the artwork focused on a Christian theme.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The buffet selections were varied and homemade. They use their own smoker for meat selection. My server was attentive and made me feel welcome. Desert choices were yummy! read more

My wife and I stopped here several years ago. So we had to stop again while in the neighborhood. Things have changed very little over the years. There is plenty of parking. The restaurant is designed to look like a Victorian house. The decor inside also reflects the Victorian era. This is a buffet style restaurant. With a nice salad bar. The buffet is well maintained. The food is American style. You won't find half empty trays of food that have been on the buffet for too long. The service was friendly, efficient and professional. All in all our experience this time was as pleasant as the last time several years ago read more

It's really good and amazing I love it so good food love the mac & cheese and the meat and the mashed potatoes

The food was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was very crowded though.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had called ahead but still about an hour to be seated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a Sunday afternoon so we knew it would be packed and we just chilled out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was worth the wait. read more

I hadn't been to Country Cottage in many years and had been told it was better than ever. We had a basketball in Locust Grove and took the chance to give it a try while there. Let me say it did not disappoint! The fried chicken was some of the best I had ever had! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It looks like a an old family home and is welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They do have a menu for those that don't want to eat off the buffet which my son did. Next time he said he will be eating the buffet because he said ours looked so good and he is 10. Definitely recommend and can't wait to visit again! read more

Been disappointed last few times we've been. Their steam tables are not keeping the food warm. Gave it three tries after many years of coming here since we're local But won't be back for a while. We have reported this to staff. read more

Country cottage is one of NE Oklahoma's best kept secrets. It's family owned and operated, and it's the best home cookin' ever. You can order from a menu, but the buffet is incredible. They have different themed options each day, but they always offer fried chicken and chicken fried steak. I tried some of the Mexican choices on the Friday buffet at lunch, and it was delicious too. I've never had a bad bite! It's all so good. Wait staff are nice and attentive. And the inside is decorated just like grandma's cottage. The desserts are amazing, and they have a huge selection. There is also a little boutique shopping on your way in and out like Cracker Barrel style, and they have cute clothes, gifts, and more. read more

The food was excellent. But the waitress was horrible. She gave us sweet tea instead of unsweet tea. Never brought us additional plates for the buffet. Stood leaning against the wall talking to one lady for almost 15 minutes. Finally came back to our table and refilled out tea with SWEET tea again They need to change their staff immediately!! read more

Callie is best waitress ever !! We love this place and wish it was in Arkansas not OKLAHOMA but love it and want to go anytime we can!

Love the fried chicken and the sweet corn is really good. I've always had the buffet for the chicken but apparently they have a regular menu that you can order from but we never have. Sometime we'll have to try the menu. The staff are great and check on you regularly! Worth the drive (which I wish was closer) read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Food, service and ambiance were all great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The wait staff was attentive. The food was good old country cooking.

If you want some excellent home cooked food this is the place to go.after you finish your main course, they have a great dessert bar to choose from. read more

The best Country style Buffett Still around! Made from scratch recipes, and The Best Chicken Tenders Salad around. You better be Hungry!

A delightful surprise on a trip to Arkansas. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A rambling, clean, cottage--very busy still at 2 pm on a weekday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The comfort-food buffet was large, varied, expertly-prepared, and constantly refreshed. Excellent fried chicken, chicken and dumplings, sausage, meat loaf. Broad salad bar and extensive desserts. A bargain at $11. Quick, friendly service. read more

First time and it was excellent. A variety of food entrees and desserts. Beautiful setting

It's chicken can't be beat! The atmosphere is what's serene, Victorian, comfortable. No loud rock and roll screaming music! They have tablecloths! The foods that they do have are all excellent! When we go there, we sit in the back room, it's quiet and we can enjoy the Country Cottage.... 5 star... read more

Ez review, recommend, absolutley. I've traveled there from Rogers Arkansas just to eat there, time after time and already looking for the next beautiful day to ride over there. They have a video you really should watch, its linked to their page. I can't wait to go back. If you are a foodie or just love those little place to eat this is it. Period. If you don't eat here in your life time, your hunt for food will never be complete as long as you need to eat. I found this place by accident, pulling off the highway, hungry wanting a quick snack to get back on the road but when we saw the outside, I knew I had found my shangri-la of food, lol. Its the best. Ever. read more

For an $8 buffet, it was ok. Unfortunately, it was $13 plus surcharge, plus tip. The the kids liked the fried chicken, but all of the other items looked and tasted like they came out of a can. Way too much salt on everything and really no other flavor. Most of the veggies were a bit soggy. read more

What a wonderful place to enjoy a meal. Basically a "made from scratch" restaurant that has friendly hometown servers and kind, professional managers. There's a nostalgic feeling of what good restaurants used to be like here and they have brought that feeling back for those of us today who are lucky enough to pass through Locust Grove, Oklahoma. I'd come back at least twice a week if I didn't live in Dallas. Favorites were the fried chicken and vanilla pudding for dessert! read more

First, GO! Good food and good service. Met the in-laws and other relies here for lunch. When we got there the place was decorated for Christmas and gave you a very homy feeling. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by every staff member we saw and they seemed to go out of their way to make us feel welcome. Once seated our server was immediately there. She was very friendly & personable. Once our drinks were ordered we had a set of nice plates on the table to choose from. And not some regular restaurant style plates either. Rather they seemed sort of like something you'd see in your grandma's kitchen that she would bring out for guests. They were pretty nice plates. Anyway, we walked up to what we thought was the main buffet only to find out it was the 2nd one, that was smaller, but had some food there. After seeing the main one who had was double the size, the small one seemed like a it was just added as a nice gesture. But I digress. Prior to our attendance at the Cottage, we cheated and looked up a Youtube video about the place. Our take away from that was that they were known somewhat for their Country fried steak & fried chicken. So it was obvious what I was looking for when I got there. They were both really good. I think most of our family responded more to how much they enjoyed the country fried steak than the chicken but we all agreed the chicken was good too. I also had some grilled chicken strips and they were delicious. While the line at the buffet was decent it moved along at a steady and easy pace. They seemed to keep every thing pretty clean which was probably pretty easy as they replaced trays often. As I started to get towards the dessert side of the buffet there was a lady waiting who said they were getting ready to bring out grilled pork tenderloin. I didn't take it due to the amount I already had but my wife had some and her words, "amazing." Everything I had was good. Cornbread with turkey dressing, chicken, seasoned red potatoes, country fried steak, gravy all just worth the trip. Desserts did not disappoint either. And tons to choose from. Wish I wouldn't talk so much (my wife does too! Just ask her! ) or id have some sweet pics for ya. Overall, just go and thank me later. read more

We had been once about 3 yrs ago, and again Tue evening. We had good memories about our first visit several years ago, but not this time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]None of the 3 of us thought the buffet items looked very good, and the entire dining area was very worn down and dirty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Waitress could only find one filthy greasy menu for us to order from.... Obviously most people pay the $13 for the all you can stand to eat buffet. Two of our party got chicken Caesar salads and while not bad. It certainly wasn't good, the Romain lettuce was not cold, and the Caesar dressing was something cheap out of a bottle. I got a chicken fried steak sandwich, and the pathetic little chicken fried steak patty was obviously something that had been frozen and thrown in a microwave before being slapped on the Texas toast. It was barely edible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Low rating is mostly for the cleanliness of the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Won't be going back. But if you like all-u-can eat buffets, you still might like the place. Nice people working there. read more

Amazing food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Amazing atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Incredible service! Love this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place for the family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Best restaurant around. read more

Locust grove is so lucky to have this place! Such a cool restaurant to take a trip to enjoy. We found this place on yelp and decided to take a road trip and try it. This restaurant looks like it was built into an old house and felt like you are enjoying a family dinner. Once you walk in, they have their own shop with assorted items from clothing to toys. There was no disappointment in the food or the service. All of the food is homemade and fresh on the buffet line (yes, this place is a country cooking buffet!) and was so delicious. There is a salad bar and a dessert bar with many choices. The Swedish meatballs were sooo good, and the fried chicken tastes like my grandma made it! Wish I could come here anytime, because it was amazing! read more

The food is fresh and the correct temperature, plenty of choices, all are good. The trick is to leave before you get too full.

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! The food, variety, service...SUPERB! Thank goodness we live in Arkansas...we would eat here all the time and weigh 1000 pounds read more

We drove 40 minutes to visit Country Cottage for lunch today and we were not disappointed. They were busy but not crowded. Staff was friendly and attentive, kept our ice tea filled. Very reasonably priced for delicious home-style cooking, $25 for two. We will definitely be back! A nice selection of salads, main course, vegetables and desserts. Fried chicken was tendered and delicious. Smoked pulled pork also perfectly cooked. Of course as I tend to do at buffets, I ate too much! The tables were clean, they offered table and chair seating and booths. No complaints from me read more

This used to be the great place to eat up until our last visit. The restaurant is now charging a fee to use credit or debit cards. When I went to the buffet there wasn't any chicken fried steak just an empty pan. Generally staff are very good about replenishing the food but not this time. I waited around awhile hoping some chicken fried steak would come out. When I ask one of the staff members about the chicken fried steak not being on the buffet she kinda shrugged and said but we have chicken over there. I waited a while longer and saw some things that made this my last visit. A staff member brought out a fresh pan of gravy. She picked up the pan present on the steam table, emptied it into the fresh pan, stirred it a bit and put the pan on the steam table. While I waited hoping some chicken fried steak would arrive I watched several other items on the steam table where a remaining portion was mixed into a new portion. A new pan of chicken was brought out and I watched as the items left on the steam table were put in the front of a fresh pan. I stood waiting for the chicken fried steak to come out for quite awhile. In addition to seeing older item from the steam table mixed in with fresh items I never saw any of the staff use a thermometer to check the temperature of the food. I did witness fresh salad dressing brought out and again the salad dressing that was on the buffet table was emptied into the new container and mixed in with the spoon by the staff member. Who knows how many times today this has happened. My previous visits I had not seen the mixing of fresh items with items that were on the steam table. This is a way for customers to get very sick. The staff are very friendly. read more

Food was hot but ran out so had to wait 10 minutes. This buffet is not as big as used to be in the early 2005. The food has lesser choices. The building needs some repairs and don't know how passing safety inspections. The women's bathroom door would not lock properly. Service was very good. Have not decided if going back soon. read more

This place is awesome and the Buffet is homestyle. Great atmosphere and very friendly owner and waitstaff. They also have a menu that you can order off of and their double hamburger is to die for. read more

We love a buffet and we're not even that old! Anyway let me tell you about the fried chicken!! The breading was light, crispy, and fresh, and inside was tender moist chicken. Really took me back to my grandma frying chicken in her cast iron skillet. Yummy! The rolls were divine, as were the mashed potatoes, cheesecake, and homemade blue cheese dressing (creamy, garlicky, and mild). We even bought some to go! Those things were exceptional and everything else i had was really good. We were traveling through the area and went out of our way about 10-15 minutes to eat there and it was totally worth it! read more

Pleasantly surprised that this was a buffet inside! Our server was so kind and I really enjoyed the homey atmosphere. Food was delicious!

This place is awesome! Over the top friendly folks. Amazing choice on the evening buffet bar for dinner and desserts. You won't go away hungry. If you grew up in the mid-west, you will feel right at home. read more

Oh whatever. There was a problem with a water main and people got sick a while back. I'm not sure the restaurant should even be faulted for that... stuff happens. The food here was actually pretty good! The rolls were the best I've ever had. There was a ton of people, being a Sunday, so there was a wait for a table and a wait in the buffet line. The food seems homemade and the entrees really are good. The desserts are in desperate need of revamping and the ice cream tastes like ice milk. It's okay though because you probably won't have room for dessert anyway. read more

Visited August 25. We drove like an hour to get here, and I had my doubts. But the buffet was great! I'm not saying it was an hour-drive great; I'm not sure any buffet fits that for me. But if you'll be passing within a few miles, I highly recommend it! The prices were fair, the gift shop was nice, and the food was yummy! The only downside may be they had too many desserts to try! First-world problems, I know. But seriously, I think they make all the desserts from scratch. Their cheesecake was *amazing.* Later, I went to the WinStar Casino and tried their cheesecake, and I wanted to teleport myself back to the Country Cottage. (And WinStar is no slouch.) Now I'm curious what County Cottage's recipe for the cheesecake is, like if they do something special compared to a standard recipe. It wasn't bland or too sweet; it was just very satisfying. Mmm... Also, the staff was friendly! Thank you! read more

Good food, service was great. Recommend the buffet, some of the food could have been a little warmer but generally very good.
