Paula Deen's Family Kitchen

Great southern food served family style. My family ordered fried chicken, fried catfish, pot roast, mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese,collared greens and broccoli casserole. All the food was excellent. You could eat as much as you want. The waiter was excellent. So why 4 stars and not five? You can order as much as you want, but can’t take any home and actually I get that! Place would go broke just after a visit or two from my family. However, if you only order the first round of food, you should be able to take that home. We had chicken and fish and as far as I know it was thrown away!

This is very good quality southern comfort food. I have been many times and the food is always delicious and consistent. I was born and raised locally and the food here tastes just like what we cook at home. I would highly recommend the fried chicken and beef roast. I enjoy the views from the upstairs dining room looking out over the lake. This is family style dining so you order 3 meats, 4 sides for the table and everyone shares. You can get refills on all the food you order but you can't take anything home. (They tell you this before you eat) The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is sometimes the service is lackluster. Of course it all depends on the server. The food makes up for it most of the time.

Food was decent, nothing spectacular. For the place we were eating at and for $23 a person, I was expecting some of the best, if not the best, southern style food I've had. It’s nice it’s buffet style with what you order but save yourself about $5-$10 a person and go elsewhere or your southern cooking cravings. Waitress was nice and helpful and kept the refills of drinks and food coming. It was something to experience but would not recommend unless you absolutely just want to eat at Paula Deans.

What a great family style restaurant. The style of eating is great and the family environment is so refreshing. They give you everything from two meats, vegetable, starch and desert and its brought to you on individual plates so everyone at the table can have a taste. The food was just like down home cooking should be and I should know because my mom and grandma are masters. The food was seasoned and the flavor was what you get when the food is good. Thank you for keeping with the tradition and quality of "down home cooking" . The drinks were bananas!!

The best food EVER!! So delicious! Our family enjoyed the restaurant and store while on vacation! We had to go back a second time before we headed home! It is kind of pricey but we all felt all the food was worth the money! My kids loved that they could take their dessert home with them in a little bag since everyone was so full from eating all the delicious food!
