Best fried chicken in Bay County, and probably the entire panhandle!! Wide selection of tasty entrées and sides. Fantastic desserts too! This is an inexpensive and delicious buffet but should improve on giving drink refills.

We ate breakfast there two weekends in a row; it's all you can eat and has a great selection of food. The service is always great and very friendly employees. The coffee is good. Highly recommend.

Selina G.

One of the best southern cookin’ restaurants in Bay County! The mac & cheese and fried chicken are to die for. I and my family have been eating here for years.
