    Wife and I had lunch there today off the steam table. Food was excellent - just country cooking at its best. Service was great - very friendly people, working hard. Meat plus 2 veggies, bread with drink and desert , $10.00 total. Awesome Lunch Place.

    The food was really tasty. The portions are slightly small but the total bill for one (1) having the buffet was $10. The folks that work there are very friendly. I enjoy these locally owned establishments. Definitely will revisit next time I'm in the area.

    They offer buffet or menu items. I went at one and ordered the grilled chicken plate. Portions were small but very good. Cost was under ten dollars including the drink.

    This place is a quiet little cafe serving comfort food of the south. We have eaten lunch here and today we are eating breakfast here today. You get plenty of food and the service is top notch. You can order from the menu or get off the buffet. If you order, there will be a long wait but your food is made fresh when you order.

    Great home cooked food for lunch. I would consider this the best place for lunch in Winfield. The prices are very reasonable, the food is outstanding, and the staff is very friendly. The only down side is that they stay very busy and the dining area fills up quick... but that is to be expected at a restaurant that serves good food.

    Had the smoked sausage egg and cheese biscuit. Biscuit tasted like corn bread and crumbled. The smoked sausage felt heated instead of cooked. Egg and cheese were okay. I’ll have to try their lunch and update my review. But their biscuit was not impressive. I’ve had better at the chevron down the road.
