    The buffet is buffet food. Once you've had it, you're good for a long while. I would like to go…read moremore often because Lexington doesn't have many places to eat, and the majority of them aren't anything special, but until they offer a variety instead of the exact same food every time, I will only go on occasion when someone asks me to go with them. I've found that sometimes food on the buffet is too salty (and I like salt). Once the turnip greens were so salty that I had to spit them out. It was as if someone had poured a whole cup of salt in them. The catfish is also usually very salty. Nothing on the buffet is labeled, so you may have to ask about some of the meat if it's your first time to go. The salad bar is very small and minimum, so I prefer to get slaw instead, but I no longer do that. Sometimes the slaw had a strange taste and smell as if it was going bad. Once it was so completely soured that it almost made me gag. I let the server know and she just took it away. Toward the end of the meal, she brought another bowl and said it was freshly made. She never apologized. She actually acted put out over it. Needless to say, I've learned to be cautious with the turnip greens and slaw. The dessert bar is terrible. I mean that. If you like pudding with whipped cream on top (they usually have chocolate and banana), and sometimes a low-quality overly sweet store- bought cobbler, then you'll like it. They also have ice cream, but it isn't the smooth kind. It is more like the type you make at home. My advice is to order off the menu. You will not have the variety, or the amount, but you will have a better meal. The location is good. The parking is good. It's a large place so you can usually get a table pretty quickly.

    Food was good. Service was excellent…read more Comfortable atmosphere Would go again when in the area.

    I did not consider the service or ambiance, the food was so good, they could throw things at me and…read moreI'd sit there and eat. This place needs to double the chef's salary, cause that person can cook! Like many places that serve excellent food in rural Tennessee, it is nothing spectacular. In fact, you'd never suspect that inside that nondescript building, where two kitchen workers are shooting hoops on the two goals behind the place, is a culinary nirvana. Parking lot was packed, always a great indicator. I highly recommend this place. I also like serving myself. Always feel bougie when folks wait on me. No worries here. They're prompt with the drinks and the rest is up to you. The price is more than reasonable. Two people at the dinner buffet, gave the cashier 30 bucks and got paper change. Can't beat that with a stick.

    We got the buffet and we were really not impressed by it. The food must have been sitting there for…read morea long while because the chicken was dry and hard. They had chow mein noodles but they needed to be replenished. Just as a heads up, the (so called) "crab" ragoons are NOT crab but IMITATION crab. If you could only know how that junk is made, you would NEVER eat it again!!!!! The "service " was sorely lacking. The server couldn't understand us when we asked her if she had club soda. Also, she NEVER came back to check on us or take our empty dishes. Ambience???? Not here. A little on the noisy side. No romance and seating is only fair to middling. As far as a return trip.....well, maybe we will try something on the menu next time. We will see....the jury is still out on this one. will update soon.
