From beginning to end this was a fantastic meal, atmosphere, and venue. The management was very helpful and answered all my questions; especially since I am a non-meat eater at a meat heavy restaurant. Walking in, not only are there plenty of pic ops, but it...Read More

The service here was really excellent for a BBQ joint. The buffet has a large selection of meats, veggies, sides, and even dessert. You can sit inside with the live band or eat outside if the weather is nice. Great place to visit!

This place is amazing. The wait in a Saturday night was a little long but well worth it. The catfish and shrimp are on point as well as the BBQ. Also, having Jack Nelson playing live really put this place over the top. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

The parking is not in a paved lot, however, so be prepared for a bit of a bumpy stretch, but nothing particularly bad (think gravel or grass). The aisles are open enough, and the tables are a good height.

This place is always great. The buffet is probably the best I've ever had. If you leave still hungry you're doing something wrong.
