Everything is massive, from the barn like building, to the massive buffet, including seating for hundreds; in this Hwy-49 roadside seafood venue. Located 8 miles south of I-20, the proximity to Jackson isn’t bad: They also have a 2nd location on south in Magee, if you’re heading toward Hattiesburg. The buffet has it all: catfish, shrimp, chicken, and just about every country style vegetable one can think of. The salad bar is impressive: including a full time server, who is constantly keeping that bar stocked, clean and looking fantastic. The dessert bar showcases the usual southern suspects: including pecan pie, chocolate pie, banana pudding and more. Try the homemade coconut cream pie, it’s delicious. Normally, I’m not one to recommend a buffet, as they’re generally low quality, picked over, and have a sloppy appearance. So, I’ve never thought one this side of maybe an upscale offerings on the Vegas strip, deserved a 5 star rating(btw: those worthy, run about $40-$75). But Berry’s is a different story: The quality is actually quite good for a buffet in this price range; especially the desserts. But as I touched on, it’s the approach taken here by the servers, to keep the bar stocked, clean, and appealing; that raised my rating. Sure the food is good, but the appeal and cleanliness is excellent. Service in the dining area is tops as well. My glass stayed full, and plates taken away quickly; and all while wearing a genuine smile. For these reasons, I’m giving it the 5… And I definitely think it’s worth a visit….

Be aware of this place!!!!!!! On Friday evenings they serve crab legs and even if you do not eat them, you still have to pay the buffet price for them ($43.95). More explanations are below. Food-Nothing fancy and it did not give me the, “I definitely have to go back and eat there again” vibe! The food is average! Service- My server’s service was subpar. She bought my ticket at least 5 mins after we got our first plate. She never came back to check to my table after I asked about menu prices due to the confusion of what was on the menu. Atmosphere-Being that the server gave “attitude” and not so much of a “friendly ambience”, it definitely affected the atmosphere. This area only gets one star! Unfortunately, the visit to this particular restaurant did not go well. Menu prices reflected one thing while my receipt reflected another. To try and fix the problem, I asked for a price adjustment due to the confusion with the menu vs.my receipt. The server (Brandy) basically said the price was the price. I asked for a manger. The server came back and stated, “The manager is busy.” Once the manager came to our table, I asked why did my receipt reflect the price attached while the menu for buffet was $34 and change. She said the menus were a tad bit confusing because on Friday nights they have unlimited crab legs for $45. I then said, we didn’t have crab legs. However, the manger said that was Friday’s price regardless of whether we have them or not although the menu didn’t clearly state that. The manager agreed with me about the menu causing confusion and she said they were recently printed. She proceeded to say she would go call the GM to determine if they would be able to do a price adjustment. After the manger called the GM, she came back and said that they would not be able to adjust the price. The menu needs to be reprinted again without the confusing prices!!!

Stopped here while traveling and had no idea what to expect, or that it was a buffet when I entered. As I was looking for catfish and Jerry’s (a place I had been to before was closed) so when I saw this restaurant with many cars, I decided to stop and give it a try. I did notice the 40 foot Cross nearby but didn’t realize that was an indicator of the restaurant decor. Growing up in the south, I’m accustomed to seeing the Cross as artwork and a sign of faith and peace. The staff was friendly and helpful, the buffet food was average in my opinion. Fried okra delicious, boiled shrimp good, fried catfish average and small pieces, chicken livers delicious, black eyed peas mushy. If you are not a Christian, then you may want to reconsider stopping. The owner's faith is on full display throughout the restaurant, with numerous paintings of Jesus throughout the restaurant and the televisions playing beautiful Christian music. There is also a Mayberry display with Barney Fife and his police car, Andy, Aunt Bea and Opie. If you are someone who likes to eat a large quantity on tin plates, then this is your place. For me, it wasn’t worth the $27 I paid. That said, I am glad I went as the decor is not something you would see outside of the Bible Belt, at least in a public business.

One thing for sure is that this is a Christian family. I love the paintings of Christ. The restaurant is decorated very nice and I do recommend visiting if you have never gone. The only issue with me is the price of seafood buffet ($34). Before I forget to mention there is an ATM on site and it’s in walking distance to a pretty nice dollar tree. It has been over a decade since I’ve been to this restaurant. We went on a Friday night for seafood buffet. $34 is a lot of money for a buffet with no crab legs! 😃 And to be honest for a buffet did not have healthy any vegetables nor really good salad bar. The atmosphere is great and I absolutely love the decor. There is plenty of seating etc. I love the rustic look and unique design and plenty of parking. I absolutely love the old farm equipment and how each dining area has a unique theme. The food was okay, I didn’t have anything that was extremely delicious. They did keep area clean and neat. I like that plates are stored in cabinet. I just can’t see myself spending $34 for a buffet. Not like it’s Texas de Brazil or similar. There has to be something more for that kind of money. Just seems something is missing… For me, I’ll visit every blue moon but definitely not a place I will frequent.

Alway stop here, coming and going to Pensacola Beach from Arkansas if the time is correct. Driving home Monday night it was Dinner scheduled. 1st time we've made it for a dinner. Food was hot, tasty and great as always. Best cooked food hands down! I understand you had 2 parties of 60, scheduled on the boards, but service was lacking. Arrived at 7:30 p.m. and waited over 10 minutes at the podium to be seated, white employees just looked at us. 1 of your parties was finished and the other still had some around. A young man with white apron came out from kitchen area and finally seated us after I went back to checkout stand and ask if we were going to be seated. He was very kind and allowed me to pick anywhere. A waitress finally came to table and we only saw her once more for the evening. Drinks were not refilled, ticket to checkout wasn't presented and she had to be radio called for us to check out. This is definitely a 1st for me at Barry's for the years I've been coming and many meals I've eaten. You've got a great day-time person in LeighAnn McNair Cameron, you might want her to train your night crew. I'd also recommend, staffing more people when you know 120 extra folks are coming. Thank you Always my favorite spot!
