Veggies and side Turnip greens Mashed potatoes Mac and cheese Cabbage Corn Rutabaga Pinto beans Green beens Rice Entrees Spaghetti Baked chicken Fried chicken Pulled pork Fried fish Buffalo Bites Chicken and Dumplings Chicken livers Also turnip soup Salad bar Rolls, cornbread and a bunch of desserts. One interesting thing is that while it is all you can eat, they serve it cafeteria style. So you tell them what you want and they put it on the plate. This must have changed since COVID. You used to be able to serve yourself. The food is good, but it taste like someone is cooking scared. Nothing had any seasoning. Nothing popped with flavor. No smoke on the pulled pork (I got outside meat to be able to taste it) Bland spaghetti, bland chicken and dumplings, bland greens, bland, bland, bland - except for the fried chicken and fried fish which were okay, compared to the rest. Service was not overly friendly, or even friendly either. Pretty much here's your seat, here's your drink. I would probably come back one more time. Definitely will not come back if the next time is like this time. 2 1-2 stars is what I would give it. Rounding up to 3 in memory of a place that used to be a lot better.

The food was delicately prepared and the spices were used in a way that left you with just a hint of flavor that was perfect and enhanced each bite! After dinner we drove around the city looking longingly at the uniqueness of each home and the flower lined streets and driveways! Fair Hope we will return!

Good margaritas, great fries, good Blackened Shrimp Bahn Mi. The not so good. My husband ordered the House Ground Burger, medium well. When it arrived, it looked great until he picked it up to take a bite and this plate filled with blood. The burger was rare at best. The server was as shocked as we were and quickly removed the plate. Unfortunately, the second try was still not medium well. It was somewhere between medium rare and rare.
