Brooks Shaw's Old Country Store

This is the original Old Country Store! It's the best buffet you're going to find in a 100 mile radius. Their breakfast buffet is always made fresh and it's as if your grandmother is in the kitchen cooking it all-- just the way you like it. The wait staff is extremely friendly and attentive. Unlike most buffets, this one is also priced just right. I'm happy to give them an A recommendation. If you haven't had the original Old Country Store, you're missing out.

We had an early dinner on Friday night-arrived before 5 pm. I had read the menu on line so we knew what was on the buffet. I'll list the food I tried-fried chicken ,fresh & great-chicken nuggets-ok but fresh-mashed potatoes fresh & great, cabbage -great, green beans with red potatoes-great, Mac & cheese ok spoon was coated. Fried catfish-fresh but did not try it. Greens-great, salad bar-fresh & good, fritters -seemed undercooked, yeast rolls-very good. The desert bar was the probably-three cobblers-2 were picked through & weren't ever replaced with fresh-apple & black berry. Cornbread tamale pie-picked over -just ok. The smaller peach cobbler was replaced twice. There was no banana pudding. I asked for cobblers & banana pudding twice within our 2 hour meal on a Friday night. We were about to leave the banana pudding came out. It was runny ,bland ,mostly cookies. No bread pudding on buffet. Cute place with great service. Ice cream shop & cute country store with nice t shirts & other apparel. We were disappointed in the buffet.

Being a guy who often travels around for work and having to eat by myself, I tend to eat a lot of buffets. Guy eating by himself in a restaurant or a bar comes across as creepy. But a fat dude by himself at a buffet? It's not only commonplace, but maybe even becomes sympathetic. Anyways, all this actually means is I typically have to settle for eating trash every night. That's until today, at least.Everything was shot, fresh, and constantly rotating. Absolutely nothing felt frozen, instant, or from the can. You can probably just alternate full plates of Mac N Cheese with Mashed potatoes and gravy, and leave completely happy. Possibly the best buffet I've been to.

Stopped for dinner in early December '23 and it did not disappoint! Paid for the dinner and was seated in a wooden booth. Server quickly arrived - friendly and knowledgeable- took our drink order and told us to help ourselves to the buffet. Most items did not need name cards..... although it would be nice .... Everything hot and tasty. We will stop again and try breakfast buffet!Had ice cream in the ice cream shoppe with every kind of candy known with a number of them hard to find. Then strolled the store - which has many items as you can imagine fromCard and keychains to t-shirts and winter hats ! Great experience and will return !

This location is a tried and true. Food always delish and service just as good. We always stop by here when we are in the area or just coming on purpose. There is a train museum on site. And other little shops and stuff to explore. Inside you will find an old fashion candy store and ice cream shop. And the deli on the other side serves the same buffet food for the to-go crowd. I love the ambience of the old county style of days gone by.

You owe it to yourself to stop by and see these people if you're ever within an hour of Jackson, TN. These folks will treat you like family and I'm convinced there are older ladies doing the cooking. They have bluegrass picking on Thursday nights. There's a lady grilling hot water cornbread to order. The lovely Jessica B. and Amanda C. will make certain your sweet tea never gets halfway to empty. You'll want to hug someone's neck before you leave.

Amazing food. Settled in a little village type setting called Casey Jones Village. Cute little gift shop with lots of things to choose from. Something for everyone from the itty bitty to the old timers. Friendly employees. Similar to Cracker Barrel but better food, more room & all you can eat. Great atmosphere. Good service. Stopped on the way to our destination & on the way back.

Great experience. Wonderful southern food. Staff was so friendly and kind. Neat area to stop in and visit.

Worst meal I have ever had. It was dirty and the food was disgusting. It was cold, dried out and no taste to the food at all. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY -- GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Just left there6:45pm July 16 and it was the worst buffet I've seen. The food was dried out , beans thick, fried chicken cold, overall it was horrible for my girlfriend and grandson. Would give 0 stars if it was a choice
