I went to this restaurant based on the high reviews from this site as well as other sites that sang…read morethe praises of this restaurant. I drove well over two hours JUST TO GET THERE and once we were there we had to wait until they had enough people to seat a whole table, no problem there. Once we sat and we got to look at the food I was immediately disappointed. A good portion of the items on the table were canned vegetables, black eyed peas, lima beans, green beans, beets, and some sort of canned corn salad. Everything was served in hard plastic bowls that rotated on a dais and was constantly being refreshed/reheated by wait staff. Many of the reviews I read expressed a grand fondness for the fried eggplant. I wasn't so sure about that not a big fan to begin with, but this was also disappointing, crispy on one side, soggy on the other and the sponginess of the eggplant itself was not appealing. There was however, one exceptionally good item on the table that saved this from being a complete and total waste of time. The fried chicken was absolutely outstanding, and I would opt to go back just for that but ONLY if I was in town for something else. There was also an assortment of "desserts" if that is what you can call them. There was a brownie/flourless chocolate cake abomination, some canned banana pudding concoction, there may have been bread pudding, I am not sure, and a slice of pie that disappeared as soon as it was on the dais, it never made its way to me before it was gone. The concept is actually quite unique and the experience was delightful, however the execution falls way short regarding the food. I would love to recommend the restaurant but it you are an adventurous eater, I would tell you to pass on this one as it is not worth getting up early, leaving two hours before the restaurant opens to get there during their paltry hours of 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and then having to drive back home with regret and your dinner sitting in your gut like a stone.

This was a neat experience. Think buffet, but sitting at a table with a lazy Susan and a lot of…read moreother strangers getting a variety of entrees and sides and desserts. I tried to sample as much as I could. Some things I like a lot more than others. I would go back just for the fried green tomatoes. The fried chicken was also good. I liked the variety. Biscuits were a little dry. My biggest issue is that the food was mostly lukewarm at best. I think it would have been so much better served even warm because cold food makes me feel like it isn't fresh. I appreciate that the menu does change up daily. I wish there was a way to identify what each dish is was. I'm not too picky but someone else might be. The service was probably the best thing there. It is in an old house and the tables are large so it's quite cozy. They are only open during lunch hours. This is not somewhere I think I would drive out of the way for, but I would go back if in the area or passing through again.

I found this restaurant from watching HGTV and decided we will eat there. My thoughts:…read more Customer Service: 10/10 Food: 2/10 I am giving it a 2 out of 10 because the presentation was perfect. However, I've never had any cold chicken and cold hard Jalapeño bread. In my conclusion, the food was yesterday's food. You may ask me how do you know? We arrived at 11:05 to place the order. We got our food at 11:15 which was quick. The chicken was cold. The mac & cheese was semi-warm and my okra was semi warm. You don't get this kind of food if a business opens at 11 AM and you receive your food at 11:15. That's why I am calling it yesterday's food. I wanted to ask so badly for them to just put it in the microwave because I saw it on HGTV and I wanted my food to be really great and I wanted to write a really good review for this business. However, I was highly disappointed. Now I am sure the food is probably hot on Sundays after people getting out of church in the south and all those good things. However, I was disappointed on a Thursday! Highly disappointed! The business is only open 3 hours a day so how could this happen? I am just glad we didn't have to stand in line for an hour and 30 minutes for some cold chicken. And I'll leave it at that!
