Chatters Restaurant — Restaurant in Lyons

Lady at the register was very nice as was our waitress. Went to eat here on Tuesday evening 2/25/20 at 7 pm, coming from out of town looking for some good food. Appearance of the place was average, nothing fancy as was the buffet. Just a few items which was surprising considering the reviews. Fried chicken, pork chop pieces/bits...and I do mean pieces, rice, gravy, green beans, greens WITH STEMS???, lima beans, not so good looking mac and cheese, corn bread/rolls, small salad bar and small pieces of cake with drink. That's it, not too much to brag about. They were low on dark meat fried chicken and pork chop pieces when we arrived, a lot of other people stopped in and checked the food bar but ended up leaving due to lack of food. They lost a lot of business because of it. Although there was definitely a lack of fresh food, we were able to be satisfied with at least their fried chicken, I had to ask and wait 15 minites for some to be cooked. I doubt if I'd ever return if in town again due to the small amount of food items on their food bar...but their fried chicken was awesome! We ended up ordering a to go shrimp dinner and that was fine. Overall...not too bad but buffet...

Old Buffet Style Restaurant that has seen better days. The food remaind good home style cooking, however the prices are now way too high. For example: My partner and I are both seniors. We ordered the buffet which is self serve. We each had 1 piece of chicken and 2 vegetables; collards and green beans (not fresh/canned), a roll and a box made dessert. He had tea. I had water. The total price was $26 and change. That's way too much money for what we got and self serve in old dirty settings with black mold around the A/C vents and hideous green decor! We aren't blind to the surroundings because we haven't been eating, meeting and greeting there for decades. Sorry, not sorry, but we won't be back. Can't afford it on a fixed income when it's not worth the price! I guess if you "pig out"...

I came here on a Friday night with family and it was the seafood buffet night. That’s not what I was interested in…I’ve been hearing about this fried chicken all the way in Fla. My family from Lyons co-signed and said the Fried Chicken is legit.

So yes on seafood night I ordered a plate of 1/4 of fried chicken white meat (Breast and full wing) and crinkle fries. The chicken was nice and crispy. It had great flavor and the breading wasn’t salty. The chicken was moist and had consistent flavor throughout. My 2 pc was so good I had eaten 2 more full wings. I prob could’ve eaten another 3-4 pcs of chicken.

This review was solely based on my experience of the fried chicken which is the only thing I had. This place is known for their chicken and I to can now co-sign on this...
