This diner is located in a back street, next to a market and close enough to a strip mall with restaurants. It's a quiet place although lots of people come in and out. We sat down, got our coffee, ate our meals, and wondered if we could eat more. The food was so tasty that we really wanted to take more food with us. I had a chicken fried steak and my gf had an omelette. Every table around us was busy eating, we were not the only ones who appreciated this food. For a humble place with delicious food, the prices were average. The coffee could use a little help, as well as the A/C, but all in all, it was a win for us hungry bears.

We've had their catering and most of the meal was good, but huge delay getting it out to us. When we finally ate at the restaurant I was disappointed with the dried out over cooked chicken, and the almost burnt ribs, which is a shame because the one that wasn't overcooked was really good. The other food was good and their cobbler was delicious. It's like they are so close to being excellent, but someone is definitely over cooking the food or they're leaving it under the heat lamps too long which is unhealthy. We'll give them one more try and if it's still no good then we probably won't be back. Server was real sweet, but she had to step in when our server ignored us. To be honest we were really hoping they were good as we miss Blue Willow Inn style buffets.

There were a lot of items on the menu to try and it was hard to decide. Ended up sharing a platter and an order of onion rings. The platter consisted of two sides and 3 different fried items.

I think the waitress forgot to put my onion rings order in because when our food came out I asked her about it and it took a while for the onion rings to come out after our meal. Hush puppies were a bit dry though. Nice environment and friendly staff.

The food is served buffet-style and the offerings are Southern home cooking. The star of the show is the fried catfish, which on my recent visit felt like it melted in my mouth. Chicken, country ham tilapia, and Brunswick stew are among other offerings. There are also desserts. My only complaint on our recent visit was that the Brunswick stew was only lukewarm. On the night we visited, there was a bluegrass band for entertainment, but ambiance is sparse. This is a place that you come to eat, not to stare at the walls. Service is friendly, but being a buffet place, there isn't a lot of interaction aside from drinks and refills.

It's a buffet, of mostly fried food, seafood. They had some really great green beans, fried okra, fried shrimp, fried fish, Brunswick stew, and biscuits. There were some other things to try, including a couple of cobblers for dessert. there were some nice young ladies, cleaning off the tables and being active in the dining room, which was nice. They were watching to make sure our drinks were filled. The food was hot and good. I'm not sure if they redid the decorations inside, but they have some old Timey things on the walls, kinda like a country place! You do have to wait in line and go through the buffet, but everybody was courteous. It's definitely worth the money.

I've seen better being thrown in a pigpen. They had these little black round things that were harder than the tray they were laying in. I asked what they were and was told Salisbury steak and if you soak them in gravy on your plate they'll surely soften up some. The chicken tenders had to be picked up and gnawed on. The potatoes didn't taste instant or like real potatoes. They were watery and very bland. The puddle of creamed corn ran everywhere. Had no consistency and the bread peach cobbler was horrible. The taste was acceptable but the texture was like wet spur dough bread soaked in water. Had to pay $2 extra if you wanted a soda, then they didn't have coke. I got the sweet tea, they didn't have lemon but she offered to go cut me some. She never came back. Take your money and go to Golden Coral. This place makes Golden Coral fit for a King. It is simply nasty.
