  This is a good place to eat if you like Southern style food. It is buffet style. The selection is adequate, but it's no Golden Corral. The atmosphere is nice. The place is decorated with racing memorabilia, especially Petty stuff. I had the fried chicken, creamed potatoes, green beans, blackeyed peas, and biscuits. The food was delicious. The only thing I didn't like was that the price of the buffet does not include dessert. Overall, very good place.

  This rural, buffet restaurant is as Southern, as Country as it gets, and has been now for close to 30 years, serving up Fried Chicken, Country Style Steak, Fried Seafood Fri & Sat), Biscuits, Hush Puppies, REAL Mashed Potatoes, and excellent  Fried Squash. Throw in a nice salad bar, a few great pie choices, and the friendliest service you could hope for, and you have yourself an excellent country cooking dining experience.
  
  The restaurant is a bit larger than most restaurants of this style, and it's a bit worn, and rather dimly lit. The walls are fully decorated with NSCAR memorabilia, with special homage to native son, Richard Petty, who grew up in the nearby community of Level Cross. The buffet is not especially large, nor is it particularly varied - there is fried chicken, country style steak, fried squash, real mashed potatoes, hush puppies, biscuits, and other country veggies every time, with fried seafood thrown in on Fri & Sat nights, and Country Ham available from time to time.
  
  The Hush Puppies are as good as any I've ever had - ever! They do not use a mix, but rather prepare their own with flour, corn meal, the tiniest dash of sugar, and liquid - then they fry them perfectly crisp, tender & full of flavor inside. The biscuits have nothing to hang their heads about - dense, yet lite tasting, full of flavor.
  
  The CS Steak is very, very nice, and the accompanying gravy is as good as it get, especially when loaded on those thick, creamy mashed potatoes, or sloshed over a biscuit. The Fried Chicken was a bit overdone on this visit, not something I'd encountered previously.  The Fried Squash is special here - it is very thinly sliced, and I mean mandolin thin sliced, lightly batter in corn meal, and carefully fried to a delicate level - an amazing preparation of this vegetable.
  
  The service is as down home friendly and engaging as you could want, and yet very efficient. The owner stopped by to chat, a most pleasant gentleman.  Almost everything about this visit was 5 Star quality, except for the fried chicken, and the overall breadth of the buffet. The price for everything for 2 was $21.29, unquestionably a real value!

  We used to go here quite often, however, the last few trips were nothing to write home about. The lady who seats you is the nicest one there, everyone else acts like it's too much to be friendly anymore.
  Squash is the best thing and really the only reason to go. The salad bar was old lettuce and they really don't have a lot of healthy choices, mostly fried everything... If the salad bar was more fresh then that would be even better!

  Definitely has personality but the buffet was amazing. I ate my body weight in country ham, biscuits, and fried chicken. Yummy and worth the money! MmMmmmm

  Last night we celebrated my parents 50 anniversary here . What a disappointment . From the moment we got there it was if we were a bother . My dad has not been well for some time - we often don't know when this will be our last time together as a whole family. The lady, who I think was the manager, acted "put off" the entire evening. They had given us partitions to separate us from the rest of the restaurant. Take note my dad cannot hear well and we were trying to help with this . At one point in the evening it fell over by accident. The lady came
  Running over demanding that "we be careful." It was an accident . They yelled at us for moving the tables and then when we attempted to move them back, after the event, she snidely told me "they would handle it because it had to be certain way."
  My parents are the most unselfish, giving people I have ever known. All we wanted was a nice evening. Snyders was making a lot of money off of us. To be a small town, family oriented business they sure did go out of their way to make us feel as if we were a pain in their butt . My family has eaten here for years . I, and many of my other family members, will not be returning. And on top of everything else, the food was gross - overcooked, greasy, and unfulfilling .
