Best catfish on the planet!! Kids love the chicken spaghetti and their slaw is amazing. The Pineapple desert from the buffet isn’t every night, but if it’s available you need to try it! Kids under 5 eat free.

Delicious food and friendly service. Good variety of items on the buffet. Definitely try the chicken and dumplings. Hard to choose which dessert to try - so we tried 4 of them and they were all amazing. The banana split pie and the coconut cake were the best though :) 10/10 recommend
