Evan's Country Buffet

DON'T do it... DON'T eat here. Shall I repeat myself? No, once is enough. 2 of went here for lunch last week only because The Neighboorhood Grill was closed for 'equipment malfunction'?? So we drove into old towne, and found this place. Went it, buffet was cheap, $4.99 I think. People, there's a reason why. Where shall I start - Salad portion, 1 lettuce, in 2 different bowls, but, same lettuce, minimal items to put on the salad - celery was brown in one bowl, green in another, I went for the green version. Passed on the cucumbers, cut in quarters, they were multi color as they had turned mushy near the rind and in toward the center. Meats, well, & this is true, I'm not kidding, I starred at them, what I think were the meats, but had to ask the counter guy what were the meats as I couldn't tell by looking at them.ps, there were maybe 4 other people in here at lunch. He said pork chops, OK, I could see those in the gravy, meat loaf, well, I saw something with red sauce on it, but, pushing back the red sauce, that was not ground beef under it, maybe cabbage? Whatever, it was not meatloaf. And finally, BBQ.... well, I guess that was the shredded stuff with so much sauce on it, I thought it was sloppy joes. So, I tried that, but could only eat 1 bite.Although he did not say ham was one of the meat items, I swear there was a shredded ham dish (in the veggie section). It was the only 'meat' item I could eat more than 1 bite of, but my associate took 1 bite of it and could not eat any more.Veggies, there were several, I could see they were lima beans, and brown beans, for example, but could taste no difference in either.Way... way.... way.... way.... too many items on the buffet. Folks, go for Quality, not Quantity. No clue how this place stays in business.On the way back to the office, we asked ourselves: What days were the food we just ate actually cooked???

Great food, reasonable price, and a gritty, laid back atmosphere. Food is some of the best I've had at a buffet and at 5.99, all you can eat, it's a great deal. Everything is made from scatch, the ranch dressing is out of this world. (Owner gave me the recipe.) This is a place I would drive out of my way for. Don't forget to try the cornbread muffins!
