| - Stumble across them when I was looking for brunch options in that area. $13.95 brunch buffet? With prime rib and shrimp & grits? What?!
So for Valentine's Day, I decided to take my girl friend there for our 2nd annual V-Day date/birthday meal. I called ahead to confirm that it's still the same price (you know how places LOVE to hike the price on holidays) and made a reservation.
The place is smack in the middle of Baxter. Lovely looking white house, with parking behind the building as well as on street. By the time i arrived my friend already had a table right by the food stations (and we last minute added 2 more people).
Overall the food was plentiful. There was breakfast items (ex. omelet station, biscuit, gravy, grits, bacon, eggs, fried potato) and lunch items (fried chicken tenders, salad, salmon etc.) I have to say the "shrimp & grits" tasted good but lacking shrimps. The salmon was a bit overcooked, which is inevitably when served in a buffet. Prime rib (more like rib roast) was REALLY good, but we almost missed it because you have to ask the waiter to bring it from kitchen. Soup was good; butternut bisque was super creamy - I'm sure it's fat free - and gumbo wasn't an authentic gumbo but tasted good. Coffee was strong and good for $2. They even had a few small dessert items to choose from.
The service was good, Big Mike took care of us. For the money I think it was a good value for brunch (hence 4-stars).
