Lucky Buffet, West Memphis, AR

Lucky Buffet

Lucky Buffet is a seafood buffet in West Memphis south of I-40 and west of Seventh Street. I went there a few weeks ago.

The price was pretty decent, about $19 for all you can eat, and they had a good selection of food but the restaurant was a little dirty. I noticed a couple of gnats (I think that's what they were) crawling around on the salad bar after we had eaten our meal. I was going to get a small salad but then decided against it because of that.

Otherwise it was okay. I can't really recommend them. I didn't get sick or anything I was just a little put off by the lack of cleanliness. It's also worth mentioning that it was pretty hot in the restaurant. The air was working but I noticed on the thermostat as we were leaving that it was set pretty high, about 80 I think.

Jack's is a small diner in Coldwater on the square at the corner of Highway 51 and Central Avenue. I went there a couple of weeks ago for lunch on the way out of town and it was pretty good. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries. The price was decent but maybe a little high, but not bad.

It's sort of "out of the way" unless you happen to be passing through Coldwater on Highway 51 but it's worth a stop if you're in the area.

 

Hole in One Grill, Marion, AR

Hole in One Grill is the cafe at the Brownstone Country Club in Marion on Club Circle west of Highway I-55 North. I went over there a couple of weeks ago for lunch.

Unfortunately I wasn't that impressed. The food was okay but definitely just mediocre. I ordered boneless wings and a cheeseburger and both where average.

The prices were a little high, presumably because it's a grill at a country club, which made it a little worse. The service was also a little below average.

I was very surprised but it happens sometimes.

If you're in the area and try them let me know if you have a different experience.

Eggs Up is a new breakfast restaurant on Goodman Road just east of Pleasant Hill Road in Olive Branch. I went there a couple of weeks ago for the first time and really enjoyed it. I don't normally want breakfast food so I don't order it very often. I ordered pancakes with sausage and eggs.

I went back a couple of weeks later and got a ham sandwich and it was good also.

I definitely recommend trying them out.

Dog and Bone is a British pub in Memphis on Madison just west of Cooper Street. I believe this is the only British pub in Memphis and one of the owners is British so many of the recipes are authentic, at least according to the waiter. I went there one night last week for the first time and it was great. I was so impressed I went back the next night with a friend.

The first night I ordered Shepherd's Pie and the next night I ordered fish and chips with a sausage and cheese plate and my friend ordered bangers and mash. Everything both nights was fantastic and so was the service. The waiter was Dillon and he was great.

The prices aren't particularly cheap but they aren't overpriced at all and I highly recommend them.

Butler's Fish and Steak Buffet, New Albany, MS

Butler's

MAP

Butler's is a small buffet in New Albany on North Glenfield Road a few blocks north of Highway 78. I went there this past weekend for dinner and it was really good.

They have several prices. The buffet by itself is one price then there are add ons for crab legs, either for one serving or for all you can eat. I didn't not get the crab legs. The basic buffet is about $33 which sound kind of pricey but it's not for what you get.

They had several types of fish, several types of shrimp, several types of oyster, and a couple of types of clams, and steak and barbecued ribs. Many so called seafood buffets that I have been to have seafood but a very limited selection. I was really impressed with Butler's.

They also had a few other items like macaroni and cheese, spaghetti, and some other home style food like that and everything I got was really good.

I highly recommend them and will definitely go back!

Burning Bush is a small soul food cafe in Olive Branch on Hacks Cross just a couple of blocks north of Highway 302. I went there a couple of weeks ago for lunch and I highly recommend them.

I ordered catfish with macaroni and cheese and it was all very good. The service was a little slow but not bad and the prices were a little higher than what I would call average but also not bad. It's a small privately owned restaurant so I don't mind paying a little more.

The service was also very good. It's worth nothing the only drinks they have are sweet tea, lemonade, and water.
