Country Kitchen

I remember this place mainly being an antique shop. This place has always been great. A good little country buffet and great family atmosphere and service.

My first time here. It looks like a little country store. My party arrived about 20 mins before closing & everyone was so nice. They were running low on some items because they were closing. However, what I had was delicious! The fried chicken was the best! The batter was seasoned perfectly. The fried fish was good as well. I also enjoyed the green beans. I didn't enjoy the cabbage. It was too soggy. Overall I will definitely eat there again when I'm in the area.

I visited our local eatery, Country Kitchen for lunch in Gonzales, Louisiana. It was established in 1986, but it has been over fifteen years since I have visited the restaurant. I have no specific reason other than my work schedule in the past prevented regular visits. It is particularly unique, but relaxed atmosphere with antique paraphernalia on the walls and on display throughout; but the majority of the space is for dining and a serve yourself all you can eat buffet open Sunday-Friday from 10:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Plates and bowls are on the wall next to the buffet along with a Keurig machine stocked with Louisiana's own Community Coffee Cafe Blend pods. From what I recall, little has changed over the years, except it is open on Friday evenings 5-8 P.m. for dinner. Today's buffet featured classic and local staples: fried chicken, baked chicken, meat loaf, pastalya, taco casserole, chicken and dumplings, shrimp and corn soup, egg rolls, and red beans and rice. Seasoned sides: corn, Italian green beans, carrots, mashed potatoes, sweet peas, yellow squash. Bread sides: biscuits, corn bread, and jalapeño corn bread. There is a full salad bar, with mixed green lettuce, pepperoni, cubed ham, and imitation crab meat with cucumbers, beets and a variety of dressings, imitation bacon bits, croutons and sesame seeds. The dessert bar had bread pudding, apple crisp, peach cobbler, and banana pudding, plus soft serve. Every item is made with love and the food is down home Southern cooking, like visiting grandma with the family. I came craving home made fried chicken, but couldn't resist sampling red beans and rice, Italian green beans, shrimp and corn soup and peach cobbler. The fried chicken was delicious and crispy with choices of white or dark meat. The shrimp and corn soup was loaded with shrimp and just enough spice, however a bit watery for me. The Italian green beans were seasoned to perfection with pieces of bacon and the red beans and rice were delicious and loaded with bacon and sliced sausage. My waitress, however was mostly absent and only attentive near closing, yet I observed other waitresses were very interactive and friendly. Bus boys were very efficient in clearing my dishes. If you are looking for family oriented, local, variety "Southern down home cooking" in a relaxed setting for $15 with tax, Country Kitchen is a winner. I look forward to a return visit on another day of the week for different choices on the buffet.

Like you walked into grandma's house and she's cooking Sunday dinner!! Loved everything about this place Highly recommend the shrimp and corn soup ! Friendly everyone! Antiques everywhere! You could tell some people go there every day for dinner. Even the ice cream tasted homemade. 10/10

The food was OK, service was excellent atmosphere was decent. My husband especially loves their peach cobbler.

Food and decor needs improvement. I love flavor and this works for those who can't cook and will eat anything I guess. I know this is harsh but I only give my true thoughts on my reviews.

Congested buffet, way too many people buffet wasn't full most of the time. Food was ok , bathroom was horrible , won't be going back

The food was down home good. Simple, fresh and tasty. The staff and owners were awesome. Fantastic place for lunch with friends family of during your workday.

Decent food for decent price. Hit or miss on the desserts. Spaghetti and cheese is sometimes too salty.

I would leave a negative review if I could. Food was disgusting. I sat down and seen a huge roach crawling on the wall that was not far from the food. I was immediately disgusted and wanted no more to eat. I got the fried chicken and it was raw and pink on the inside. Spaghetti was the one decent thing but was still lacking flavor.
