We saw the buffet and asked if they had any mullet. Our server, Rebecca, said not on the buffet, but she could ask if Summer would cook some up for us. She did, and it was very good. We also liked the coleslaw, greens, okra, and pumpkin pie. Very friendly and attentive staff!

GREAT Southern cooking on the buffet! Catfish nuggets and fried chicken seasoned and cooked to perfection. Everything was wonderful. Drink included. The owner is very nice. Cozy country family atmosphere. Like a good family reunion with great food.

My husband Saud he wanted fresh mullet so when we came back through town we stopped in because I saw the sign "fresh mullet ". They had all you could eat and Ms Sarah asked me if we wanted some with meat on them and went to cook them. The smile on my husband's face was priceless. All the food was delicious and our young waitress was a blessing. Will definitely be back soon.

LOOKING FOR REAL SOUTHERN FOOD? This is where it's at..... We eat here every chance we get . Home cooked food without doing the dishes. You can tell it's made with love and it is all cooked and seasoned to perfection. It's just like being at grandma's. Never ever had anything there, that wasn't simply delicious. Hands down our family favorite. ♥️🌴♥️ Michael & Robin Reeves

Service and food was good and plentiful, but I have never went to a buffet with fried chicken and fish that didn't have potatoes or fries.

Great food but always the same things on the buffet. Fried chicken, fried pork chops and fried fish. They actually had baked chicken the last time I was there so hopefully they will start having a better variety. All in all it's a good place to eat.

So Florala really needed the upgrade that The Big R has recently received. New and improved menu and hours, with an attention to taste and variety is a winner. Well done!

COUNTRY COOKING!! If you are looking for a “home cooked” country meal - this place hits the spot. Good recipes and a lunch buffet where you can sample all your favorites.

This establishment has become a hot dog stop if I'm not mistaken. The price of the new place is reasonable. The service is home like as usual. Very laid back atmosphere here

The owner was very rude to me and my husband ,giving snarky remarks, saying we'll when are you leaving in a rude manner and when I said we had planned on a week she shook her head rolled her eyes and walked off. When my husband spoke to her she raised the price of what we were quoted and said she would only take cash up front. My husband then told her we would find somewhere else to stay and then she said you got my money . Then when we were packing up to leave she banged on the door and said, you need to get out. Just not a very nice person. I will never go there again.

We we're a family of 5 eating buffet since nobody brought us a menu. The food was extremely salty, employees setting out food weren't wearing gloves, they had a washup station right under buffet ledge that splashed water up on food items, employees chewing/eating while stocking the buffet, had to walk thru kitchen prep area to pay ticket, no inside bathroom. Definitely won't be returning.

We ordered hot dog and hamburger meals, which were absolutely horrible. Nothing tasted fresh, it tasted old and frozen with old cooking oil or something, and the sauce on it was disgusting. It was so bad we didn't finish it and had to leave and eat somewhere else. In addition to that the prices were absolutely outrageous for the size of the meals and what they were. Very dissatisfied and disappointed and will not be going back.

Well we never got to eat there. The owner denied us service because we had a service animal. She said she was allergic. Actually she said " no dogs, no dogs!!" I have a standard poodle as my service animal which is hypoallergenic so even if she were "allergic" my dog probably would not have bothered her. Not to mention in accordance with ADA, it is illegal to refuse service to someone with a disability & has a service animal for them. Needless to say the owner was rude and very disrespectful!

Didn't have things on the menu. over charged us for what she did have. charged almost $30 for 2 hamburger plates! menu said burger was only $6.50! we added fries and tea. Fry baskets weren't even or full! place was dead, only 1 other person there. She was telling everybody her life story while we ate, complaining about everything. both our jaws dropped when she said your bill is $28! No wonder there was no business!

I wish I read the reviews first. The food was overpriced for what you got, when we finished our large burger that was not big at all, We ordered a chocolate milkshake which tasted like the cheapest chocolate ice cream you can buy with some milk, when we finished I went to pay for the food where the sign said Pay Here I stood there and the lady started yelling from inside saying she was waiting on me on the other side of the sign which looks like a place for only people that work there to go her attitude was terrible she looked like she weighed 400 pounds at least and the only interest she had was talking to her regular customer. If you are just passing by this is not a place you would want to go. Waitress seemed pretty nice and the people inside were very country-folk and seem Pleasant. If it wasn't for the overpriced food and then for the lady getting an attitude when it was time to pay it would have been okay.
