Farmhouse Country Cafeteria — Restaurant in Lexington

Went for Thanksgiving w/ a party of 4. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Firstly, the food was to die for....the catfish is known around town to be particularly good. The holiday meal had roasted pork, succulent turkey, spiced ham. Sides a plenty for good country eating... Lovely salad bar, included in the buffet. For picky eaters, send them to the kids' buffet for fries and chicken nuggets, and the like. Ice cream soft-serve and a variety of homemade desserts. (For reference: the regular buffet has the same amt of food options..., but the non-holiday meals tend to see fried chicken, meatloaf, etc. on the line.)

We normally visit on Sundays for the buffet. I just wanted to drop a line about the wonderful holiday experience we had with The Farmhouse, as the family periodically mentioned it, throughout the day and into the next. Mr. Bob, you outdid yourself. We will be coming next Thanksgiving, and -next time-calling in the family from Nashville. Thank you for keeping it affordable, as well.

Service is on point. Kudos to the host, who did an excellent job seating multiple large parties, and generally keeping mayhem from breaking out. (Many folks trying to get to buffet before drink orders, getting settled. As a waitress myself, I appreciated the professionalism and ease/grace with which he handled that line when the door first opened : ). Our server was similarly excellent; she kept my cute little coffee cup filled, even with a bazillion other things going on. Just great, from start to finish.

We are so grateful for you, Farmhouse. God Bless You All and thank you for working through your own holiday, so we could...

We were excited about this place after seeing the reviews but out experience made us feel like we were in the wrong restaurant. The buffet was loaded with food so I tried a little of everything. The vegetables tasted like they were from a can. The catfish was pretty tasty. The ribs were not good. The pulled pork was ok but cold. The crawfish had no seasoning and an absolutely waste of time. Please leave that dish to the cajuns. The “crabmeat” it imitation and I think they tried to seer it for flavor but it didn’t help. The baked chicken was dry and cold. I’ll stop there but for $19 each I expected much more. Lastly what kind of a Southern Country buffet doesn’t have fried chicken? My two stars is only because the staff were nice. That doesn’t make up for the poor food though. The owner responded five months after this review and made up some lame story about a football team being disrespectful. What a joke. I was with my wife and daughter. I have over nine millions views of my reviews and pics. I give honest reviews based upon my experience and my opinion. The restaurants response is a lame attempt to protect their reputation which based on my visit should be garbage. There are plenty of other places to eat. I suggest picking...

Extremely overpriced!!! It is bad enough that this buffet costs $14.99 per person, but to pay that much for poor quality food and a limited selection, is adding insult to injury. At best, this would be a $9.99 buffet if the food was good, but I left feeling very much taken advantage of. The white beans and black eye peas were hard and either undercooked or came from a can, the turnip greens very tough and full of stalks, the BBQ was dry and tasteless, the catfish fillets very rubbery, there was no mashed potatoes and gravy, the salad bar items very very limited and ranch dressing had a cheap store bought taste, there was no cheese on the salad bar. Staff is very slow to refill empty pans on buffet, saw no adults working there-only kids. There are a lot of much better country-style buffets in surrounding area for a lower price. This was my third time to eat here and it has gotten worse each time. I will never go back to this restaurant, which is sad because it is very close and convenient to my home. Food was so much better when it was K.C's Farmhouse. I don't know if the same people own it or if it was sold before it became "Farmhouse...
