    I have been seeing others rave about this buffet in St. Mays. It looked good from their pictures. I finally went at closing time (3 minutes until 2:00pm). Not only did they welcome me in, the food was excellent, especially for a buffet. Everything was seasoned so well! The restaurant was so clean, many buffets are not, & the service was exceptional. I cannot brag enough about this place. Regular buffet price is $16.00, while the senior discount price I received was $15.00. Extremely well worth the money & time to try here even if you don't go for buffets! Will be back that's for sure.

    Traveling through the area, we turned to Yelp for somewhere local for lunch. Thus, we ended up at the Lunchbox. Apparently they relocated from a previous location & we got rerouted. Eventually we found it. The decor is simple with lots of lunch boxes set around the room. You walk in & pay first. A waitress stopped us after we paid & asked what we wanted to drink. We proceeded to the buffet to get food & went to find a seat. We saw the waitress take drinks to an empty table on the other side of the restaurant. We didn't know if we were supposed to get up & move or stay where we were. So we stayed & another server came up & asked what we wanted to drink, so we stayed where we were. The process was just kinda confusing. The food: overall it wasn't bad. There were several things that were yummy, others that were not. The mashed potatoes were almost black because they had so much pepper in them - I couldn't eat it. My hubby got what he though was beef/gravy - it was liver. He basically threw up when he took a bite. So keep in mind that the daily meats are listed behind the register & the items are not labeled on the buffet. We would probably try it again, but it was just ok.

    All I need to say is FABULOUSLY FABULOUS HOME Cooking. This little place was found on a recommendation and wow they were right. There was 6 of us and 1 child and the cost was $60 for the all you could eat buffet. Everyone tried a little of all of the items on the buffet. There was baked and fried chicken, pork chops, fall off the bone ribs and the sides of veggies was endless. The restaurant also had 7up biscuits which were very good. There was also a salad bar and a dessert bar. Our waitress was very good about keeping all of the drinks refilled. The restaurant even gave us a cup of water for the dog. The decor is rustic with different lunch boxes all over the walls. I give this place 5 stars for the amazing home cooked food. No frozen stuff here. We will definitely return on our next trip

    All kidding aside, if you want really good southern food served in a buffet setting (which I generally don't care for) then this is the place!
