Hot date with the Hunny - the late December temperature was 75 - and where did we go? When going to…read moreand from a one-night campout at Toledo Bend Reservoir, I saw Fausto's Fried Chicken on the west side of the highway. It looked like a choke-and-puke that I enjoy going to: locally owned, very casual, unpretentious, low-priced. It's a 30 minute drive from us, so I suggested it to her, and she said yes. The inside of Fausto's is like what is to be expected from the outside. Enough tables & booths to seat 50, TVs on the wall, plastic plants, old license plates and a Bob's Big Boy sign for decor. It's the kind of place where local celebrity Micah Tyler would feel at home. If you want luxury dining, drive two hours to Houston's Galleria area. For a smidge under $20, we got a thigh & a leg each, she got fries, I got coleslaw, two Cokes. We sat down and got situated - and then someone brought out our dinner one minute later! Now THAT is fast food, and this isn't even a fast food joint. We both enjoyed the chicken. It was hot but not too hot, moist meat, light crunchy skin. Hot sauce bottles are near the drinks, I didn't see them until we were leaving :-( , the chicken would have tasted better with either Tabasco or Texas Pete's. The coleslaw was okay, a little dry. The Hunny wolfed down her fries. Fausto's is a good place to eat, whether for dates, families, sports teams, larger groups, or Micah Tyler. Its casual atmosphere is a good fit for the little Piney Woods town of Buna. It's likely a good fit for you too. Fausto's: making fried chicken great again.

Not the same chicken since the new owners took over. Not the same burgers either. The chicken used…read moreto have the right amount of spice to it, not now. The burgers also used to be a lot bigger too! We used to get three burgers and the family fries for take out, but the last time they were the size of something you'd get from Micky D's. Just a little disappointed from what it used to be.

For someone who is from Buna, I appreciate independently owned and ran family businesses who take…read moretheir valuable time to homecook meals from scratch, using homegrown knowledge and cooking methods just as you would do in your very own kitchen. Excusing the out of towners who may or may not be used to such southern cooking here where pride and honor in preparing a dish for either someone you attend church with, or meet from another city, it's highly acceptable to consider that they want you to enjoy your food at all costs, and wait times may indicate the positive, healthy energy chefs want you to feel after eating what they've prepared for you! Also a hardworking and previously restaurant worker as myself, I understand wait irritation, but it soon dissipates when tasting something reminiscent of my grandmother's cooking, knowing it is not only delicious, but healthier than any fast food chain or frozen and thawed half way cooked food you get served elsewhere. Take pride in a good day and may God bless them from one day that may leave them with a bad review. Keep up the GREAT work!

Seated ourselves and waitress brought us a menu promptly. We ordered the daily special of which took forever!! Very slow in getting the food to the customer. One would think with it being a daily special that it's already cooked and all that has to be done it dish it up and serve it. Finally, when we did get our food, it tasted like it was from a can. I could have done better by going home to eat!

I asked her if she could make a whiskey sour, and she did a good job making it for her first time. We started with the thai chili bang bang shrimp. We also shared the salmon entree, which came with a generous portion of rice and two sides. The food was really good. Before we left, we tried the frozen Mexican candy cocktail. I have never had a cocktail with hot sauce as an ingredient, but it was delicious. Very happy with my visit to MVPs!

Everything was very good but they need to work on the hash browns a little though (need to crisp them up). Had their burgers and sandwiches in the old location down the street, all were good. I'm hoping they'll get the tater tots back if they haven't already. The service was great, the prices were decent for the breakfast we had. They painted and fixed the place up inside since the old owners (El Flamingo) moved down the street. It looks a lot better inside. Parking lot could use some work (fill in big holes) but I suppose in due time.
