Tabby D’s

I used to come here with my uncle so I am a little sentimental about this place. They have a great buffet and salad bar — lots of good choices and always fresh. They keep it well stocked and clean. This is a nice alternative to some of the other dining places in the area. It has a nice atmosphere and quieter for better conversation. Quick in and out for lunch. Great service.

I have been here several times. I love the salad bar and southern cooking. This is a great buffet. The building is a little dated and the wait can be out the door sometimes but overall this is a great place to go eat.

I’m usually not the biggest fan of «Southern home cooking» but I definitely wanted to try this place out. A ton of people at work recommended it. They were right! It was delicious!
Came here for lunch today and was confused a bit. The outside says that its a Christian Book Store so I was unsure of where the restaurant was. I walked in and you pay on your right. A hostess then leads you to the left where the dining area is. It was $ 9.00 for the buffet and I left a $ 2.00 tip. I grabbed my plate and went up to see their offerings. It was a small area but offered a decent variety. Here is what I got…
Chicken– They had fried chicken today. I got a thigh and a wing. They coating was decently thick and perfectly done. It was pretty tasty. I may have to come back on chicken finger day like Kelly P was speaking about. I bet they are delicious!
Collard Greens– These were damn good! I’ve had collards a few times now and these were definitely tasty! I ate a huge helping of these.
Mashed Potatoes– I had a big scoop of these too. They were piping hot and super duper smooth. Light as air like a mashed potato pillow. Delicious!
Prime Rib– Got a slice of this and it was alright. I’ve had better but it was still pretty decent… especially for a buffet.
Desserts– I had a slice of coconut chess pie and a slice of red velvet cake. I should have saved more room for dessert. The pie was delicious! If it was not homemade, I would be surprised. It was really good! The cake was delicious too. The cream cheese frosting and moist cake were a winner!
Service was friendly enough. Your cost includes your drink too which is nice. I left full and everyone in the place was definitely enjoying their food. Total locals place from what I gathered. I may be back for chicken finger day. For $ 11.00 after tip it was a great value for some good «Down South Home Cooking».

I travel a lot for work and have the opportunity to eat at all kinds of new places. A recent work trip took our group to Andalusia, AL, and Tabby D’s was recommended by a local. I was slightly skeptical, and even more so when I saw that it was attached to the front of an EconoLodge.
This is a buffet-​style place that specializes in home cooking. We went on a Wednesday, which I believe was roast beef and ribs day. The side dishes are rotated and on different days consisted of black-​eyed peas, lima beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, rice and gravy (or no gravy, if you wish), fried cauliflower, steamed veggies, macaroni and cheese, and jalapeño cornbread. Our waitress overheard us saying we were visiting and invited us back for the next day, which was chicken finger day. She said, «I guarantee you they are the best chicken tenders you will ever eat.» After that kind of challenge, who can say no?
So the next day we returned, again thinking there was no way the food could live up to the hype. We all got our plates of chicken and as people started to eat, all you could hear was, «OH my GOSH.» «Mmmmmm!» «Holy cow.» They really were the best chicken fingers I had ever had. Thin, flaky batter on the outside and falling apart on the inside.
I forgot to mention my other favorite thing, which is the blackberry cobbler. They rotate cobblers as well and have a different one every day, but all their desserts are good. We were in the area again for work this week, and we drove 45 minutes out of the way to eat lunch there today, on chicken finger day. If you are in the area and are looking for some authentic Southern food, all you can eat, then try Tabby D’s. It doesn’t look like much, but it will leave you pleasantly surprised and looking for reasons to come back to this small town as often as possible.
Price: $ 9 for all you can eat buffet
