Reviews of Sarah Lee's Southern Cooking (Restaurant)

Brandi Jones

Food was out of this world.... Great Customer Service. And it a soul food buffet. All they ask if you don't waste food or you have to pay $10. Lol that's fair. One of my favorite stops now. Great owner as well he even pulled his selves up to help.

William Holland

Small buffet but 8 vegetables, 3 meats, a very tasty salad bar, tasty banana pudding. Enjoyed the coziness of the dining room, very tasty southern cooking . Very reasonable prices for a buffet. Wish it was closer to home.

Mark Pratt

Food not so great and service was slow. I and my coworkers made reservations a day in advance for a going away luncheon. When we arrived, the buffet wasn't ready and the food we ordered from the menu took forever to arrive at our tables. We were terribly disappointed at the service and the food was not all that great.

Glad my fiancee introduced me to this amazing restaurant. The staff is amazing MEALS ARE VERY VERY TASTY seasoned to perfection. I couldnt forget to mention how amazing the atmosphere is. I fell in love with the ostrich seating. Plus had the opportunity to meet the person behind the great establishment. Keep up the great work.

Yolanda Sabrena

The food was ok. They ran out of the popular dishes. Wait staff seemed confused and forgot things frequently.

The staff could slow down a bit, doing too much at one time

Call before you go....the hours posted above are incorrect. I walked in at 7pm on a day they are listed as being open until 8pm and was told they were closed and just hadn’t changed the sign yet.

Sherman Jones

I had the pleasure of having lunch there with a colleague that said I HAD TO TRY IT. The vegetables were fresh and the fried chicken was better than I could have imagined. Taking my family soon!

Sherry Dowell

Wonderful food and environment! Everything is delicious!!!

Brenda Bowers

Have been by twice during posted hours of operations. Both times they were closed. If you say your open till 8pm, then you should be open. Sorry to say we will not make another trip here.

Summer Chappell

No line, no waiting. Decent food. Limited selection. Great service! The banana pudding lacked pudding but the bananas and the wafers were on point. I would go back.

Josh Bull

Amazing home cooked meals. Different main courses each day with everything Sunday. Monday HB Steak; Tuesday Closed; Wednesday Smothered Pork Chops; Thursday Country Fried Steak and dressing;, Friday, Fish and Spaghetti; Saturday Fish, BBQ Chicken and Pork Chops. Staff treats you like family and customers do too. You must go there if you like country home cooking!

Gary Miller

Stopped here on a Sunday (2pm) after errands, and felt really underdressed. They only have the buffet on Sunday. The food was great, the service was better! My personal favorites were the salisbury steak, catfish, the dressing was close to my grandmother's in taste. My stomach wasn't big enough to try everything.

Danielle Shorter-Thomas

Greatttt Food, I love the greens. Great customer service.

Mac Jones

I love the place great food good prices.... Good fast service ..

Martha Fry

Its buffet. You will find what you want.

cary ballard

Food is decent, but some lady just stood at the register and watched videos the entire time I was there. I am not sure if she is the owner, but she keeps calling for other people to do stuff so I assume she is. It’s very distracting having to listen to other people’s phones, especially those of people that work at the place. At least turn the freaking thing down so it’s not too disruptive to your customers. My waitress was great though.

samella calhoun

Good food, friendly staff, a charming clean place.. Love going to this soul food restaurant with family.

Miss April

I had purchase a to-go plate. I had love the southern hospitality fron the hostesses. Great food, and to be honest the corn muffins are not like my mother's. They are not sweet like cake. Everything else has soul and love in the food. And only people who will understand that statement are food lovers. What a wonderful place to visit it's almost like you never had lost touch with a friend or family member. The two young ladies who are the hostess are wonderful! I highly recommend this place. The menu is reasonable which is just a buffet. It goes up a dollar more to I believe $9.99 after a certain time frame. The collard greens are exactly how my mother had cooked them. The collard greens have brought back wonderful childhood memories. The sauerkraut is full of flavor. The banana pudding is just perfect it's not too sweet.

Joseph Hagy

Super friendly staff. Always smiling. Always polite. Food is great and really is like a home cooked meal!

Lashell Stephens-Jones

This is a great pace to go. They are the only buffet in the area. Baked chicken, fried chicken, greens, cabbage, rams, salad and peach cobbler are favorites. The main serving meal is lunch. Go, and you will not be disappointed.

Byron Moore

I love the new location, more room, more servers and the food is still oh so wonderful. Ms. Lee is truly an amazing cook.

Nikolas Coleman

The chicken here is amazing. Both fried and grill d

Lisa Collins

Great southern cooking

Magen Gulley

Food was great but the price from the all you can eat buffet on Saturdays arn't really worth it. They don't have bread on the buffet. But, the environment was clean, the owner was very friendly. They care about their customers. But my only complaints are no variety at the buffet and kinda pricey.

Jacob Carroll

Sorry. Wish I could give a good review, but I cant review a restaurant thats never open when they say they will be. Two evenings in a row I've driven out of my way to try the buffet only to be greeted with a closed sign. First time at 7pm. Second time at 6pm. Your website says you're open til 8pm. What happened guys? Coming from someone who has cooked in the restaurant industry himself for 16 years, this is a huge pet peeve of mine. Tighten up.

Jarrod Marshall

It's Southern food ya hear!!

michael hensley

Shelia Jefferson

Joseph Socha
