  One of my favorite places to eat in Baldwin County!  Great buffet and environment!  Every time I've eaten here it has been excellent!

  NO! NO! NO! Don't do it. I can't remember when I've had food this bad. It's too much to describe. I'll just say keep driving. The highlight of the restaurant was the waitress.  Save your money.

  Take a step back in time to a place who's decor matches its customers. Canned drinks with a mix of plastic and glass cups. Fancy plastic plates instead of using real dish's. A linen table cloth covered up by a paper table protection. For a mid week this place should have some customers for right up the street is Lambert's cafe and they had a 1 hr wait . In the heart of Foley this place is dead . The hot food is Luke warm on food that should hot. The cold food is Luke warm . The selection is small and honestly the food is sub par . The deserts were no better , all dishes were room temp nothing was hot or kept cold . 14.95 for the lunch buffet and 18.95 for dinner and you get money off if you bring a church bulletins in on Sunday or Monday . Over all chef ramsey needs to go there and give that place a makeover

  The environment is really nice and cool, but the food was average and could've been warmer. Price for food is RIDICULOUS. Staff was kind and diligent.

  I've read many of the reviews here, some good and some bad.  My wife and I had been disappointed with the family Thanksgiving dinner last Thursday and had kind of eaten junk and just got by for a few days after going to our tailgate, which is tailgate food, which ours is good, but we wanted to try to get back the Thanksgiving dinner experience now that we were home.  Sunday is a good time to come since you can get your buffet 2 for 1 if you bring your church bulletin.  We had come here after church so we had our bulletin.  The buffet was unique in its offerings.  The "salad" part consisted of many cold type salads, not lettuce and your standard fare, but things like macaroni salad, broccoli salad, chicken salad, and maybe 15 more that I didn't try.  I did a broccoli salad and a green pea type salad, which I liked both.  There was also cold boiled shrimp as well, which I ate, although they were kind of hard to peel.  They also had seafood gumbo and shrimp bisque for a soup.  I got the gumbo, which I like the flavor, but could have used less rice and more seafood.  Another gentleman said he tried both and like the shrimp bisque better.  As for our main course, we both got the turkey and dressing.  Turkey was plenty moist and dressing was also very good.  We both had the green beans that included new potatoes.  I liked them myself as did my wife.  The macaroni and cheese was not the best I have had but it was good.  I am not a sweet potato fan for the most part, but I truly liked the praline sweet potato casserole.  Flavor was great.  The cranberry sauce was also very good.  Fried Brussel sprouts was a new twist for me and they were cooked perfectly.  The baked tomatoes were also good.  There were also fried crab claws on the buffet as well, which I loved.  Other things I saw were chicken, roast beef, and a few other items.  I couldn't eat that much for sure.  I had unsweetened tea which was fine.  Yes the Sprite my wife had, came from a can;  does that really matter people??  Kim was our server and she was more than awesome.  Yes, I know it is a buffet, but she kept it fun for us, very outgoing and friendly.  The deserts are also good like the bread pudding and my wife had something that we are not sure what it was but she did love it.  I could eat this all the time, but because of the amount of food, maybe twice a month for us.  We did walk when we got home of course.
