"I have not been to this restaurant. I live in NC. But I saw Ms. Ree on YouTube making a Cinnamon Apple Bake and just wanted to say that I was impressed with her love and appreciation for the Lord. I am also a Christian, and it's just very uplifting in the world today when you meet another "sister" in Christ who gives God glory and praise. God bless you Ms. Ree. I look forward to meeting you in Heaven one day! In Christ, Jerrie Farmer - Fuquay, North Carolina."

"First time eating here and it was really good. That home cooked feeling of good food especially on a buffet is priceless. Everything on the buffet was good. Fried chicken, tenders, meatloaf, vegetables and the salad was excellent. The dessert with the banana pudding and the others were delicious. One of my favorite dishes was the cut up hot dogs and the sauerkraut was old school and awesome. Definitely will be back."
