    I had the good fortune to find this restaurant while passing through Lexington. The food was so fantastic and Gladys is an absolute joy! I don't live near here but I might travel back through just to eat here again. I do believe it was the best coleslaw I've ever eaten.

    Lunch.

    Ate there for my second time today. First time was breakfast, and this time was lunch. Lunch was from the cafeteria line, and the food was basic southern food that was well cooked and seasoned. Cornbread was excellent. The breakfast was very good with perfectly cooked eggs over easy, good biscuits, and excellent gravy. .

    Best restaurant in the town. Pretty much the only restaurant in town where you can sit down. Fairly priced and food is good and plentiful.

    The food is good. They could use a some help with customer service. They must not work for tips.

    Wonderful buffet experience. You don't hear that from me, and likely anyone else very often, but in…read morethis case, it is the truth! I am not sure how I have never found this place before now, but I can tell you that everyone else has. This place was packed! Parking was a nightmare. I cut off a cop and stole his parking spot. Yea! Stick it to the man, Adam! Giant community tables full of buffet goers. I wasn't sure if I could find a seat. I was impressed by the size at that point and then realized on the way out there was a whole second floor as well. It is freaking huge! When you pay, there is a little old lady that douses your hands with sprays of sanitizer. I did not care to partake, she did not care, and insisted. We aren't buddies. You can see the stank face she gave me. I don't care though, hater gonna hate. The buffet is rich with country foods. I was in love from the jump. Fast moving buffet food is my jam. They had all the things I like and tons of other things you folks like. I made two trips, I barely got most of the second down so I didn't get to enjoy dessert. That's ok, I like protein way better than sweet things. Thank you Allah for statin drugs! I had all the fried things! Fried chicken livers are some of my faves, especially if there is mashed potatoes and gravy involved. The fried chicken itself was great. Hell it was all good. I see why it's so damn busy. I think it was like $16 maybe. That's with a drink and endless food and dessert. My server was such a sweet lady and the bus staff were great too. They made sure you didn't want for anything and never had a dirty plate in front of you. I will be back as soon as possible. Planning a visit now! '26 - 102
