Nice clean restaurant, service was great and food was super fresh and tasty. It is a little pricy at around $19 a person but the food is better quality than normal buffets. The banana pudding was so good, it wasn’t box jello with whip cream, it was made old fashioned with meringue on top. Will visit again.

Very good Southern-style country hot buffet restaurant located in Locust Grove! Tim has sold all of his restaurants and has opened only this particular restaurant. Tim ison staff all the time (according to the waitress) and does all the cooking. It is all-you-can-eat, which includes drinks. Location: from Bill Gardner Blvd, turn onto Tanger Blvd (like you're going to the outlet mall) drive past Tanger Mall, go past the drivers license office, continue straight. Right before you come to a red-light intersection, you will see a BP station on right. Turn into the BP gas station. The building consists of 2 establishments, the BP store and Tim's on the end. We went on a Friday for lunch about 12:30pm. No problem parking. Not crowded. You pay at the cashier. Senior discounts are offered. Just recently, a salad bar was added. Grab a large plate, utensils, & napkins and "Go For It!" All you can eat! Friday is fried fish & chicken. Both are plentiful, hot, and good! Mashed potatoes, 2 types of gravy offered, lima & butter beans, & green beans, creamed corn, collards, slaw, potatoe salad, French fries, cabbage and sausage, jalapeño cornbread, biscuits, regular cornbread, everything hot and delicious! Let's don't forget the dessert! Choices are banana pudding, strawberry cobbler and peach cobbler! Can't decide. Try all 3 , like my husband did! I noticed the bar was filled constantly with hot food! Once you filled your plate, walk into the dining area and grab a table! Waitress will get your drinks for you. Now, the place is very casual and laid back. The floor is a little scuffed up, but hey, think of all the chairs being scooted around! The place is clean! Once someone leaves the restaurant, the table is cleaned immediately! Will i come here again? Yes! Just what Locust Grove needed, a good southern homestyle restaurant, instead of fast food restaurants. Please note the days and hours when the restaurant will be opened.

Everything about this place is awesome! Food is wonderful , super friendly staff , and you won't be leaving home hungry there are lots of different choices to choose from. If yall see this review share it to you're friends , family , neighbors or just anybody and keep this place in business for many yeara to come. Great work Tim's!

We stopped in for our first meal at Tim’s and had a wonderful meal! The service was wonderful and everyone working there was very pleasant. They were attentive and very friendly! The food was outstanding. The fried chicken, fresh vegetables and peach cobbler were delicious along with everything else! The restaurant was super clean also.

Lovely place. I went to their first opening, the food was delicious, the building was clean, and the staff were friendly. The lima beans and roast beef were my favorite. I had the peach cobbler for dessert and the flavor and texture are perfectly balanced. Nice décor and plenty of seating.

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Tim's last month when I was home visiting family. Let me just say, you cannot get food like this where I live in South Florida. It was just as good as Mama makes, but she got to enjoy her meal with me without any of the trouble of cooking it. The fried chicken? Delicious. Friday fried catfish? Heavenly. All the fixin's? Perfection. I can't wait to come back next time I'm in town.

Stopped in today for the first time and took carryout. The food is great and very reasonably priced. I had fried chicken, corn, collards, and mac and cheese. Yummy! The ladies at the counter and the ones bringing out food refills were super sweet. One said "I'll see you next time." Yes, you will indeed. I'm glad y'all are there and on my main route home.

Tim and wife are experts at adding a lot of Southern love to every item on the buffet. They are veteran's of the comfort food scene. It is impossible to make everyone happy so you won't find any sage in the dressing BUT! Right away you WILL recognize that consideration, thought and legitimate effort goes into everything they serve. You will not be disappointed ... jay
