Southern goodness!!! We went on Sunday for lunch. It's a buffet with all the southern fixings momma has at Sunday lunch. There's fried chicken, turkey and dressing, sweet potato souffle, mashed potatoes, broccoli casserole, Mac n cheese, creamed corn, and the list goes on. There's a wait, but it moves quickly.

Amazing little fueling station style restaurant with a buffet. Our lunch was fresh and homemade. I felt like I was at a family dinner. Everyone from the staff to the guest was friendly and glad to show us around. Our waitress basically went through and explained everything on the bar and desserts, but once I tasted the banana pudding, I was hooked! I definitely recommend stopping by if you're passing by Dalton, GA.

My gf and I ate lunch here today for the first time. I must say that I wished I would have started coming here sooner! I’m not big on buffet style restaurants, but this place was amazing. I really love all the southern style foods that they have to offer. We will be back!

This is a wonderful little hidden gem! My husband and I were looking for a Mom & Pop type restaurant on our trip and we found it here. The food was delicious, the service was wonderful, and the atmosphere was very delightful. Highly recommend!!

Unique southern buffet. One of the best deals in town. Where else can you get delicious vegetables, soups, salads, and a variety of meat entrees including drinks and dessert for just over the price of fast food. The building has two rooms decorated in a two fold style. One is a 50's garage motif and the other is a heavily glassed southern elegance. One of my favorite places in Dalton.
