Small hometown diner with lots of regular locals. Large buffet with homestyle dishes. Fried fish. Spaghetti, meatloaf, chicken, all the side dishes you would expect from a homestyle buffet and a salad bar. It's not fancy but really good food for the price!

Waitress was nice when we came inBrought us a drink, then we were ghosted the rest of the time. Passed right by us bringing more drink and checking on them. But didn't ask if we were ok, needed anything, nothing. I guess we were invisible.Like the restaurant but waitresses need to do better. We are as good as the other diners. The tip was about half what we normally give because of the service. He gave more than I would have

If you want good country cooking at an affordable price. We love the Asian Catfish served after 2. They also have an awesome salad bar or you can order from their menu. They always have peach cobbler, banana pudding and strawberry cake for dessert as well.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.

This is where the locals eat. You will notice that we all know each other. The food is great and atmosphere is like dining with family. Lots of history here. There is a Cracker Barrel right next door to filter out the travelers who don't know any better. Emma's is so much better and friendlier. It might be crowded, but that should be a clue that it is worth the effort.
