Emma's Family Restaurant

Really good buffet! Brussel sprouts were great! Good selection. Excellent chocolate cobbler! Worth the drive!

Stopped here while on our way home to Florida and it was great! We normally pass on buffets, but we decided to give Emma’s a try and very happy we did. The fried chicken and sweet tea are amazing!!!

Fast and super friendly service. Quick and easy buffet. Their breakfast bar is really good. It's only available during the weekend. Give them a shot and if your a sweet tea drinker you will love theirs.

I discovered this place about 9 years ago, not long before I stopped frequently traveling between Nashville and Chattanooga on I-24. I used to go there pretty often when it was more convenient, now I have to make a special trip to Manchester whenever I want to go there (a little over an hour each way), which I did today, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This place is every bit as good as it was nine years ago when I first started going there and the food is consistently good. I think they have a menu, but when you walk in and see that big buffet I can't imagine why anybody would order from a menu! I went for lunch and I hope my three photos tell the story. First plate was turnip greens, mashed potatoes and gravy, breaded okra, sauerkraut and sausage, and cornbread. Second plate was more sauerkraut and sausage (it was that good), green beans, corn, macaroni and cheese, a pork chop, and a chicken leg. Third and final plate was a salad, a couple of pickle spears, mixed fruit, and chocolate pudding. This is the only food you will want for the entire day if you go here! And this is just the food I actually ate, there was quite a bit more on the buffet I did not get. If this is your kind of thing, it's hard to beat Emma's. This meal (with water to drink) cost $6.29

Didn't realize that we would be walking into a lunch buffet, so this was a good surprise! Everything was seasoned great. Fried chicken batter was very tasty and the chicken was moist. There was a good spread for the salad bar, with a lot of fresh lettuce. Friendly servers refilling drinks and grabbing plates.
