It is a very nice place to eat especially when living on a budget & fixed income. The food is delicious & you get way more than enough to eat.

Great place for breakfast. After seeing the buffet set up for lunch, I was jealous too. Homemade peach cobbler.

I stopped here with a co-worker while we were traveling for work. They had a buffet - cafeteria style - and gave generous servings of the mains and sides. The food was great! The smothered pork chop reminded me of my great-aunt's pork chops! My co-worker enjoyed her chicken alfredo. Everything we had was flavorful and like homestyle comfort food. The pinto beans were perfect for warming me from the chill and wind of the day and had bacon in it. The cornbread (plain and jalapeño) were both great, not sweet like some places. Regretfully, neither of us could finish our plates because there was more than enough food. We did take our desserts with us for a snack later. The staff were friendly and attentive. We did not feel rushed, even though were were leaving close to 2pm. No frills, more than enough food, very reasonable prices for the amount of food, and the wonderful customer service will definitely make me come back here when I'm in the area. I would recommend it for anyone who wants delicious home-cooked style meals.
