“ I love this place. The food is really good but the owner and workers are the best part of this place. I had a medical emergency while there the owner and the waitress's went above and beyond helping me and getting me help. They took very good care of me. I am thankful for the help I was given by the owner and the waitress's. I will forever be in their debt. If I hadn't got help so fast don't know if I would be here today. A very big Thank You to everyone. ”
“ I recently learned of M&J Country Buffet, so I decided to drive an hour to check it out. I was there at noon on a Thursday. There were numerous others eating and a couple commented it was their first time there also. First look at the size of the buffet, it seemed a bit small, but there are plenty of options as most steam table containers were half-size, not full-size, allowing double the amount of options in the same space. Entrees I remember were fried chicken, meatloaf, pork chops,chicken wings, country fried steak and gravy and mac and cheese, but I know I am forgetting something. Sides included greens, yams, mashed potatoes, gravies, corn, beans and others. There was a nice salad selection, all which appeared homemade. Desserts included peach cobbler, pineapple cobbler, soft serve ice cream, and sliced fruits. All foods I had were very good and hot. With smaller steam table containers, they needed to be refilled more frequently resulting in fresher foods. The staff kept the buffet fully supplied at all times. The price of the buffet was 13 including tax. Also included in the price was ice tea, coffee and water, but soft drinks are extra. I will be back. ”
“ A great place to eat. Fresh food, great variety, and fair price. It's my favorite diner in North Georgia. ”
“ True Southern dining at its best for just 13/person! We arrived at 11am when it opened, & it filled up with folks FAST. Offers an expansive buffet of delicious southern/American food like fried chicken, real mashed potatoes & gravy, mac & cheese, meatloaf, fried green tomatoes & other veggies, spaghetti, & so much more! Full salad bar, fruit bar, & delightful desserts from pecan pie to apple streusal, cookies, ice cream, and then some. Service was great, providing drinks quickly & removing finished plates to make room for more! Highly recommend for anyone looking for some awesome southern home-style comfort food! ”
“ Country buffet that I wasn't hungry for, but really wanted to try their fried chicken. Collards tasted vegetarian. ”
“ Probably the best food option in the town. I ate here three times and enjoyed every bite. I’m just sad I’m leaving town before Hot Wing buffet Thursday! Loved the baked chicken the best, fried chicken also good but could use a little more spices in the breading. Meatloaf was dry and a bit burnt, but the flavor was good. The collard greens were the best vegetable hands down. Super nice staff and oh that sweet tea was so good I’ve now got diabetes. I won’t be back in the area for 3 years but I guarantee I’ll stop in! ”
