Elmer’s Restaurant

1^st time here, was told this is a buffet, to my knowledge a buffet is a restaurant where you serve yourself & can get what you want, if there is something on the buffet you have never had, you can get just a taste to try it first before wasting alot of food. If you like it, go back for more! Or, after you finish your 1^st plate & want more, you can go back for more. WELL… this place has a different discription of buffet… it is a meat & 3 & they serve you. Around 3:00 PM on Saturday, 6−25−16, another couple, my husband & I went in, only 4 other tables occupied, at the «buffet» there was ONE Fried Pork Chop, Fried Chicken & Fried Chicken Strips & HB Steak & gravy. Veggies… rice, blackeye peas, english peas that had been there so long they had that dried out look on the top & mac & cheese (which was empty) we were to told it was being swapped out for squash. I asked how the squash was cooked & the young girl RUDELY said, squash! I asked if it was fried or boiled? & she said… squash!!! SERIOUSLY!!! Get with the program here, I guess she could see I was irritated, she smiled & said boiled! I then stated that a buffet is a restaurant where you serve yourself & can get what you want, when did it become a meat & 3??? She said this is always the way the buffet has been! After sitting, we needed ketchup, pepper sauce, butter, honey mustard ect., I asked that same girl behind the buffet & she pointed to a table & said its over there! The only service was for the delivery of our drinks, don’t drink too fast cause I had to ask for a refill!!!
Everyone needs to wear name tags, I can’t tell you anyones name, expecially the girl behind the“buffet”!! Don’t believe their website either, dessert is something else of another discussion!!!
NOPE… WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE!!!

It’s pretty far out, but it’s worth the drive! Great southern cooking at an affordable price. Expect to see a lot of other customers if it’s a Sunday!

Great country restaurant. The fried pork chops are really good, as is the catfish. Everything is reasonably priced and it is a good value. The veggies are all good.

Elmer’s is a great place to go for good ol’ Southern cookin… While you can order off the menu, it seems like most people go through the buffet line where a server dishes up your choice of meats (deep fried pork chops, fried chicken livers, or fried chicken) and then 3 sides (i.e. black eyed peas, green beans, collard greens, potato salad, etc.) You also get your choice of cornbread (the best I’ve had in a long time!) or a roll, and a dessert (i.e. pecan pie, chocolate pie, banana pudding). Everything we had was wonderful… Delicious down home cookin!!!
