I just love it! Ambiance is as close to mom's kitchen as it gets! We drove 30 minutes from Huntsville to have lunch. And the price--in a metropolitan area, you'd pay 3x the price of a plate. Delicious!!

Wife, kids and I made the journey up to Mildred's from Huntsville - it was worth the trip! This…read moreplace was hopping on a Saturday afternoon, we got here right at 1130ish and were able to easily find a seat. Plenty of parking available despite being busy. There are two buffet islands, one with main course and sides and some desert, the other with a salad bar and more desert options. There is also an ice cream machine that my wife swears tastes just like Chik-fil-a's. The food is almost all southern, and some of it got rotated out while we ate (the chicken and dumplings gave way to country fried steak and gravy). Fried Chicken, pulled pork, mashed potatoes, fried okra, corn, green beans, man n cheese -- the list goes on and on. By and large, the food was exceptional. The fried chicken was moist and the breading is flavorful, the mashed potatoes were good. Pulled pork was succulent and the BBQ sauce was great. The strawberry shortcake was delicious. Only downsides from my visit was that the corn bread was a tad dry and not sweat (that's a preference thing) and there was no gravy for the mashed potatoes. That being said the yeast rolls are great. The chicken fried steak got rotated in with some pepper gravy (a bit watery) but these were the only nitpicks I found with my visit. Overall the best southern food and best buffet near Huntsville. My waitress ('Granny') was hustling, she made sure the plates were cleared and the drinks stayed full. Everyone seemed to know her and she was able to be friendly with the locals while taking care of business. All of the employees I saw were busy, wiping down the buffet lines, bringing in heaps of food and just making it a great experience. The value was phenomenal -- $12.50 for adults and $7 for kids. I wish they served Coke products and lived next door then they'd be perfect. If you're reading about this place and you live in Hunstville, its worth the drive. If you're a local, its probably a staple and you already know. 5 stars, would recommend. Thanks!

Was driving through from Minnesota to Orlando and stopped near Shelbyville for the night. The place where my friend and I stayed recommended the Dinner Table and it was definitely a great suggestion for local food. The restaurant is obviously a local go to and staple establishment. The tables are covered in red and white checkered table coverings, the inside a modest and no frills look. The servers are attentive and keep the sweet and unsweetened tea a flowin'. The buffet includes a salad bar, dessert bar and then the goodies mentioned about. They also have fried porkchops, beans, mac n cheese, cheesey penne in tomato sauce, and some other goodies in the lunch buffet. I filled to the brim and 4 hours later still felt satisfied! Next time, I will want to stop by for breakfast, which I bet is equally great!

She kindly remembered me and was so very gracious and generous. The Enchiladas Suizas are just as delicious--the sauce is bold and zesty without being spicy. This time I asked her to bring more shredded cheese--"por favor dame más queso rallado!" She answered with pleasure and brought back a generous cupful. I promptly poured all over the refried beans and enchiladas. Much better! I saw that $3 queso was added to the check but I love cheese and don't mind. Now you know it's an option for ANY order. Choose as you prefer. If anything, I recommend this place even more. Take the extra drive! This is real Mexican, served to true Lexican flavors.

It makes for a comfortable setting. My client spoke with passion about this establishment and told me that it was once one if the only restaurants in Ardmore, Tennessee. That is certainly not true anymore, but by the amount of people here, it is still a beloved fixture in this community. We had their queso dip, which was pretty amazing. I also went with their chile Colorado. It had a nice bite to it. I have to commend the staff here. They were honestly amazing. I would definitely recommend here if you find yourself in Ardmore, Tennessee and craving Mexican food.
