I have eaten at this restaurant quite often, and the food on the buffet is very fresh and not dried out except when they have fried fish, usually on the dinner buffet. The fish was rubbery, with a strange taste to it. The buffet offers a great salad bar and desert bar to compliment the hot bar. There is also a variety of ice creams in a freezer to choose from. The waiters and waitresses have always been very nice, and the service is top-notch! The restaurant doesn't offer much of an atmosphere, but they do have two televisions, usually one for the kids and one for the adults. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant due to the selection of food they offer. I would, however, like to see them offer more dishes involving seafood, in particular crab meat and shrimp. They do offer one dish that involves crab, and that is their stuffed crab, and it has always been very tasty! So the next time you are in Pikeville, Kentucky, stop in and enjoy! I know I will! **Update 6-5-2026** The food on the bar was good and fresh and being Friday it was a seafood buffet with added items that aren't usually on the buffet bar during the week. They had crawfish, several different dishes involving shrimp. They had mussels which I typically do not eat but they fixed it like most buffets fix clams with black beans and jalapeno but they added green peppers instead. It is the first time I liked any dish with mussels. They also had fried scallops and fried fish but my favorite is the stuffed clams. They are very good and taste amazing! I usually dine here with my son when we have business to take care of in Pikeville and he really likes it. He looks forward to eating here whenever I mention that I have to go to Pikeville. We topped everything off with a cup of ice cream with a fried donut. The cashier, waitress, and waiters are always friendly and provide great service! They always have refills coming when we need them. It was a very good meal in a welcoming atmosphere. By the time we got home, my son told me to let him know when I was going back...lol

The service was amazing, our server hosted us well and the owner kept checking in with us and chatting with us. My complements to the chef, thank you so much, your food was amazing! Would totally recommend for southern style hospitality and amazing food!

I love this restaurant but, every time I'm here I order the same thing. Buffet to go and it usually runs about $20. Well this time it cost $30. The cost of everything is going up except for wages. This is almost to expensive for a single person to eat the buffet.
