Stopped in for breakfast as we were passing through town. The buffet was really quite good and very affordable. $18 for 2 people. It was hit or miss on a couple things but a broad base buffet is hard to please everyone. Still highly recommend, best bacon I’ve had at a restaurant in years. Giving 4-stars because the staff was not overly friendly. Never checked on us or brought us more drinks and barely said two words when we checked out. Hoping they were just having an off day. Would still eat here again though. *Edit: Very much appreciate the response and can definitely understand the extra work short staffing brings. Thank you, best wishes and we will see you soon!

In my 60 years of eating at sale barn cafes, this one was the best. Even better than the Sealy TX sale barn, which I would have previously rated the best.
