\"Country<\/a>I was out on a buffet drive, down I-64, I-75 and environs.\u00a0 I had done my research in advance (‘natch) and had made up my mind to go to a different location, originally, but a last minute check on YELP showed a gaggle of bad reviews lately.<\/p>\n

When they are grouped together in rapid succession, it makes me nervous.<\/p>\n

So I instead opted for Country Cookin, an unassuming joint in a nondescript strip mall in the middle of town, not so easy to find.<\/p>\n

They have three tables of hot entrees, one of salad, and one of desserts, and the food is quite typically representative of the region. There are probably about a dozen hot entrees, including fried chicken, catfish, shrimp, a couple of beef dishes, baked and fried ham, and one or two features that change daily.<\/p>\n

I rolled in on a Saturday afternoon, just past most people’s lunch time and attendance was pretty sparse, yet the serving trays were well attended to. Beverage orders were taken and delivered and I hit the serving lines, loading up on catfish, fried ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, and some excellent smoky greens.<\/p>\n

The salad offerings aren’t as extensive as most places, but that’s fine with me, I’m not there for the salad.<\/p>\n

While the desserts (cobblers, puddings, etc) looked great, I passed to have most capacity for catfish.<\/p>\n

This room is a little dated.\u00a0 The restaurant isn’t as bright and shiny as buffets built in recent years.\u00a0 But I found the food well prepared and tasty, with no skimping on ingredient quality.\u00a0 Yes, I’d to it again.\u00a0 Lunch and beverages for two, under $25.<\/p>\n
