Customer Reviews

"They have the option for take home or buffet . I chose take home. I built my plate off of the buffet and everything was sooo good! I got a drink and this plate for $12, it all looked home made. The workers were super friendly. They did not have banana pudding at the time, but I will definitely be back to try it. Definitely recommend, hidden gem in Hinesville. Update: Went the next day another plate. They had ribs and baked spaghetti. Absolutely delcious I paid $11 for this plate with drink included. This sweet tea is really good too! I also had the banana pudding for desert, I got 3 of these cups for $8, they charge by weight. It was well worth the trip. The Glenville location (30 minutes from this location) is offering a Thanksgiving special by the way."

"The food was delicious. I wasn't aware it was a buffet style restaurant and initially I was just looking for ribs, but it was fine. I was able to try a couple of different things, as well as the ribs. The ribs were a little dry, but the flavor and all the rest of the food was out of this world! I have never in my life, tasted mac & cheese that good, the okra and the greens Definitely recommend checking them out!"

"I got there at five and they close at six, so I decided to do take out. Fried chicken was seasoned to perfection. I ate the ribs off the bone. My veggies were still hot even after I got back to my destination. This was my first time. This won't be my last! The peach tea was sweetened to PERFECTION!! Errrrrybody can't do that! My only complaint was the boiled okra was spicy. DANG!!!"

"Great customer service and great food. The restaurant was clean, I did not have the pleasure of visiting the restroom so I can't rate it. This a and upgrade from the restaurant that was previously there."

"I've had their breakfast & brunch buffets several times. I wasn't impressed with today's breakfast offering. In the past I've had link, patty, & smoked sausage; bacon; chicken; shrimp; and fish. But today, there was only smoked sausage, bacon, & turkey bacon. In addition, I asked for some butter to add to my grits (which were MARVELOUS), but I received Country Crock spread - disappointing. I'd be willing to pay extra fir real butter (in the future). Eggbeaters (substitute eggs) should only be served when requested. Regular eggs should be beat up, then poured on the grill. Most people prefer the egg white to be mixed in with the yolk (optics matter too). Last but not least - if you're advertising BBQ as a main attraction, it should ALWAYS be available. Just my humble opinion. And I WILL be coming back!! Hopefully today was a bad day, which is unfortunate since ita Juneteenth holiday....."
