Let's start by saying that their chicken is just fantastic! Great flavor, juicy, as good as it gets. When ordering dinner's the side's get a little tricky, mashed potatoes and gravy are always safe, their gravy is good, the potatoes are serviceable. The stuffing and macaroni salads are okay and I have never had their potato salad as I am not a fan of it in general. What really falls short is the macaroni and cheese. Over cooked mushy pasta and flavorless cheese sauce.

I have had their pumpkin and chocolate creme pies before and both are good, as are other baked and dessert items like the cookies and brownies. In general you will have a great dining experience any time you come, just have may have to think about your sides. I guess whether it is expensive or not is up to each person. 20 piece all white meat meal with an extra side was over $60, which I think is fair when you figure it will feed 10 people.

This is my favorite place, since I was a teenager in the 70's, when it comes to having good chicken! It has always represented a state-of-the-art reference as to how a good grilled chicken should be and should taste like...! Chicken used is first rate quality and cooked properly, resulting very tasty and delicious. Their offer is not limited to chicken, but extended to soups and vegetables. Very good dessert is available too...! Everything is just yummy delicious, including take-out solutions. No wasteful waiting time, as all food is available right off the buffet, steaming hot and ready to eat. Prices are reasonable, location is picturesque and appeals to kids as well.

We ordered a luncheon for our out of town guests. The lunch was delivered to our office hot and perfectly prepared. We had their famously delicious chicken, stuffing, rolls, mashed potatoes, gravy and of course their selection of cookies. They also provide soda, plates and plastic wear. The prices are very good and you can feed many relatively inexpensive.

We discovered this place years ago and have continued to make it a destination multiple times a year. The Sunday buffet is unbelievable--barbecued chicken, ribs, fish, mashed potatoes, biscuits, chicken gravy, a vegetable (greens beans, mixed veggies......), baked Ziti, stuffing, homemade Cream of Broccoli or Chicken Noodle soup, homemade banana or pumpkin bread, corn bread you can ask for, Italian bread, fresh fruit, fresh strawberries and bananas, pudding, and at least three other dishes I can't remember at the moment; a salad bar with potato and macaroni salad plus all the toss salad fixings and cabbage with cole slaw dressing for you to make your own! The potato salad is our favorite. We forego the real mashed potatoes to have the potato salad hands down! The price is great, very reasonable. AND, you get dessert in the price too!

I have been to this place a few times. The buffet is good and has all you can eat chicken and ribs. Salad bar comes with it too and you get dessert also. The pie is good. Only thing is that the buffet does not seem to change much. Seems to be the same every time I go, but the chicken has nice flavor.
