This place is known for their cinnamon buns because it's freshly made throughout the day. It's included when you order an entree and also part of that all-you-can-eat sides are potato salad, corn bread, broccoli salad, stewed cinnamon apples, baked beans, cheese grits and pickled beets. I ordered the grilled catfish with broccoli cheese casserole and a large hush puppy. I included pictures of my friends' entrees as well. My dinner was delicious but the star of the show were the cinnamon buns. I was so excited that I forgot to take a closeup picture of them...or maybe it was because I ate it so fast that I forgot to take a picture...LOL! I did take a picture of where the cinnamon buns were being made. They go so fast that every batch is hot and fresh.... absolutely heavenly!!!

This has been my favorite place for years! They never disappoint! Food is always on point even on busy nights. My only complaint is how very very much I miss the salad bar! It was the best ever! Prices have gotten high, but that's everywhere. 5 stars for what counts, food and service, was worth the hour and a half wait!

This place was great! I thought the food bar & unlimited cinnamon rolls were awesome. I ordered the coconut shrimp dinner and it was pretty good. The one hush puppy that’s included was the best part. My boyfriend got the shark for dinner and he didn’t like it at all, I tasted it as well and it was pretty weird and extremely chewy.. We would not recommend that. Overall it was not my favorite food place around this side of town, but it was worth a try.

Every single thing I ate was cooked perfectly. I definitely suggest the fried gator as an appetizer. When you order dinner, you get access to a buffet with delicious cheese grits, stewed cinnamon apples, baked beans, cornbread, potato salad, beets, and coleslaw. I got the dozen shrimp in garlic butter and the vegetable of the day which was black eyed peas. You also get a hush puppy that is DELISH and freshly made cinnamon rolls. The drinks are great too. The Whales Tail is nice and strong and the frozen rock lobster is fruity and fun! There was live music and the weather was perfect to eat outside in the evening.
