    Great buffet choices
    John S.

    Typical southern buffet dining Everything is delicious My Jersey friend loved it--he's open minded.

    Buffet start
    Mandy L.

    For what it is - an all you can eat buffet - I was impressed. As long as you don't walk into this place expecting anything healthy or gourmet, you'll be happy. As far as buffets go though, the food was top notch buffet quality! I was a little turned off that we had to pay just to put our names on the list. If you get tired of waiting, there's no turning back....

    Pecan pie, cherry cobbler, strawberry shortcake

    Excellent buffet fried chicken and fish with traditional vegetables done southern style. Good choices on the salad bar and dessert bars too. Fine pecan pie and cherry cobbler. Reasonable price and senior discount

    Variety. Home cooking. Friendly staff. Comparatively covid conscious (they did great during the height of the pandemic, but I think they aren't necessarily prepared for the rising covid conditions. Yet I love the food, and it is one of my first picks every time I make it to Bardstown. They deserve a shot! This is a definite no frills kinda place, but my mama would've loved it, and so do I. Today I had their fried fish (always good), and though it is verboten, I had the teeniest bite of their awesome Chicken and Dumplings. Yum! Don't forget dessert!

    Me and my family came here with high expectations. We seen tons of Facebook post showing multiple…read morebars with food and wide variety. We showed up and they had one meat option out which was what looked like left over fajitas, and like 2 side items. We had to prepay full price and we thought maybe they are still putting items out or in the middle of refreshing. We was wrong they never added more food to bar or brought out more variety. The only thing they had a large variety of and wasn't almost out was prepackaged little Debbie snack cakes. Also place was not the cleanest.

    This is the best buffet I have had in 20 years! All the ingredients and real and fresh. It all…read moretastes home made. Almost every item was juicy and perfectly seasoned. I started with a huge center cut pork chop. It had a great grilled flavor and a very interesting tomato based sauce. Next there was tasty smoked sausage which was surrounded by a large variety of grilled vegetables. I don't eat veggies but I could tell those who do would be happy as well. Then I had some tasty taco beef and I topped it with some cool bean sauce and cheese and sour cream. I also had a nice piece of steak very flavorful. The iced tea was nice and strong. I also had a glass of orange and even it was better than normal it was strong on syrup with a good bite. Next the deserts. At first I was disappointed because they looked like they came from Walmart. However, when I tasted them I was blown away again. The lemon cake was moist and tasted like the delicious lemon archway cookies from my childhood. Next I tried a pumpkin cream log. The spices were perfect and the filling had an excellent balance of tangy cream cheese and sweet. The lunch buffet was $15 drink included. Not only was it the most real and flavorful meal I've had in years but the couple running the place are super friendly and keep the buffet very well maintained. The place was completely clean including the restrooms. The only thing I was missing was some bread or mashed potatoes, but I think they have those sometimes just not the day I went.
