First time coming and was pleasantly surprised by the hospitality. Had the hot buffet after tax it was 17 and change, total 25 after tip. However, not all the food was hot. The catfish (not hot), ribs (hot), chicken tenders (not hot), roast (hot), Mac n cheese (hot), mashed taters (not hot), and green beans (not hot) all tasted amazing. My server was a skinny young lady (sorry I forgot her name) that was super nice and attentive. Very helpful and didn't rush like other buffet places. I will definitely make this a monthly eating stop. Maybe even weekly

We stopped here on our way back up from TN. SUPER glad we did! (Great choice Holli!) It's decor is super cute without being kitschy or overdone. The sign says Betty's OK Country Cooking Lies. All lies! We all had the breakfast buffet. I had tall, fluffy biscuits, covered in absolutely tasty sausage gravy with a pile of crispy bacon and a few sausage patties. We topped it off with pie! My butterscotch slice was to die for and I'm the coconut, chocolate and house pecan were too Shoutout to Sara, our waitress, who couldn't have been sweeter! This 8s the type of southern breakfast you miss after lining up north for so long. Great food, served by friendly folk. Absolutely recommend! If you happen to stop in, tell Sara we said Hi And make sure you tip WELL!

Walked in and automatically felt at home. Our server Seth was very kind and made us feel welcomed. Placed our order and within no time our order was served. The food was fresh and delicious.

One of the best small restaurants around here. Great food, tenderloin is awesome. Family atmosphere and will accommodate for larger families. Service is prompt and friendly. Highly recommend stopping by and getting your belly full.

We stayed overnight in Columbia and stopped here for breakfast on the way out of town. We loved it! Had the breakfast buffet and had everything we wanted on it. The biscuits and gravy were great, bacon, eggs. Reasonable price for the two of us, spouse had coffee too and our bill was under 20 bucks. If we are ever back in the area we will stop again.

We had the best experience. Our first time trying this place and it was amazing. The best and friendly waitress. Her name was Karen. So please ask for her . We will be back again. They also have a great all you can eat bar. The pricing is very reasonable. The entire restaurant and bathroom are spotless cleaned.

The food is always great every time we eat here. Good down home, country cooking! They do need to keep the buffet stocked better during busy times so they don't run out of their most popular items, leaving some customers not getting any.
