We are from Texas and that was some of the best breakfast we had in a long time. We will be back and the price was not bad and it is a all you can eat buffet they are only open on Sundays.

Great breakfast buffet. Wide selection and cooked well in southern tradition. Sausage gravy, biscuits and grits were very good!

The food was fresh and hot. The biscuits and gravy were VERY good. Even the scrambled eggs were great which is impressive for a buffet. Coffee was also hot and fresh. Great place to stop when your hungry and want to get full and not empty your wallet.

If you haven't had breakfast here, you are missing out on so much. Yes, the food is excellent. But the history on display is unlike anything you've seen.

This breakfast buffet is a true hidden gem! They are only open Sundays and have the best breakfast. The food is to die for the staff is friendly but the best part is the history behind the restaurant. The entire place is a history museum. We love looking at all the artifacts collected. They have a whole room dedicated to WW2 memorabilia.

This place is nothing short of a true gem. The history alone, inside the building, makes it a must see. The buffett is outstanding and it's 100 pluses, in my book, because of the country ham. Our waitress has been there forever and she was a real treat. Loved everything about it. She told us they also had another place in Owensboro and we will be checking that out as well.

The Sunday morning breakfast Buffett is the greatest. I got so full on breakfast that morning that pretty much the rest of my day was ruined. Food was spot on and the atmosphere was great (old time movie posters and such). Service was great, the food was great, all around an great morning. Definitely recommend to others. Sunday morning weekly plans !!
