We went there this past Sunday for brunch. The food was ... edible. I guess. The buffet had fried chicken(probably buckets from Walmart), fried fish(very salty), green beans(too much pepper), pasta & meatballs(imagine family pack of frozen pasta dinner), pork chops(dry as shoe leather), new potatoes and slaw and fruit cocktail(from a can). It was pathetic. I recommend the White Castle across the street.
Good food and great service - just the ticket for road-weary travellers on Easter Sunday. We called for 12:30 reservations from the road and were initially told they couldn't seat us till 3 p.m. I said that wouldn't work as we needed to continue on to Chicago, and asked if where else they recommend we go for southern fried chicken. I guess I said the magic words - because they took my name, said they'd squeeze us in - and we were seated when we arrived. We enjoyed a fabulous Sunday buffet--including the famous fried chicken. Service was superb and food was excellent. You MUST have the Derby Pie when you go!
Food good! Service not good. We waited and waited then waited some more. Lunch took us from 1-3 pm. Our server would just disappear. Needs to keep closer watch on customers needs.
