What a neat little place in the country. Eating family style with some awesome comfort food. The service was quick and anticipated our needs. Super friendly employees working very hard to make sure their customers have a great experience. We will sure go back to this place next time we're in GA.

One of my favorite Sunday dinner spots!!! Great for the whole family or groups!! Great southern food! The service is always great!

Family style buffet restaurant. So good. Drinks were kept full, and food was placed on a lazy Susan, it was hot, fresh and so good!

Amazing southern style dining experience during my travels. Food & service were excellent

There's something to be said for a restaurant that has been in business for more than 40 years - especially one in a smaller town like Jackson, GA. My family and I have made a stop at Buckner's part of the road trip home from visiting family in south GA or beach trips to Florida. The food doesn't change much from one visit to the next. You'll always get the same perfect fried chicken (so flavorful!) and delicious stewed tomatoes (trust me, they're out of this world.) Other side dishes may change occasionally, but for the most part you'll have the same down-home food in a down-home atmosphere. Customers are seated family style and the meal moves quickly. Servers are friendly and efficient, and will offer to send you home with anything left on the table (for a really reasonable fee.) Buckner's has been part of our "long drive" tradition for decades and looks like it always will be!

The food was good and plentiful and service was perfect. It was a little noisy, but that's normal in a family restaurant.

I was thinking about what I would say in my review as I waddled back to our truck. Lord have mercy, that was some good food! I had a bite of everything, It was all really good, but a couple items stand out. The first item was a true surprise, stewed tomatoes! I mean, smack your Grandma good! I honestly can't say I've ever had them before and if they are all this good, I've made a 60 year mistake by not trying them before. The ham was absolutely delicious, as was the cream corn, chicken, green beans, Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and Apple Cobbler. The only disappointment was the 1& 1/2 hour wait, but it was worth it for the joy in our tummy.!

Torn between a 4-star and a 5-star rating so I went with the 5 star based on the Chicken and the concept. Been a good while since I have dined Family Style and I can only think of one place in the Charlotte Metro that still does it this way. Drove down to Marietta GA on Thanksgiving Day and had Dinner with my Ex-Wife and my two sons. Very pleasant and since we only get down very infrequently now, we went ahead and let the Grandkids open their Christmas Present. Next day, we went to Town Center of Cobb so the Grandkids could visit with Santa. After that, we had lunch with Brian and his Family at Marlow's Tavern (Kennesaw location). More about that under separate review. On Saturday, we had lunch with Chris and Jen and Jen's Mother. Chris had to be at work at 4:00 pm so we needed to do some planning based on logistics, Chris and Jen live in Locust Grove GA which is SE of Atlanta off of I-75. On my Facebook Page, there is a feed called "Only in ... Insert State of City" About three weeks ago, on the 'Only in Georgia" Buckner's Family Restaurant was featured with a very good review. Suggested this to Chris and he agreed although he had never been. Jen had been a long time ago, so she had no comments. Restaurant opened at 11:00 am so we tried to time our arrival as close as possible so that Chris would not be rushed to get to work on time. At the Comfort Inn in Marietta, I pulled up the Restaurant on Yelp and asked for directions. Don't normally use this function but was actually blown away by it because it not only showed the route but also showed traffic congestion and presence of police. Total distance was a little over 50 miles. We got there at 10:58am just before they opened but had to wait another 10 minutes for Chris and Jen and Jen's Mother to arrive. We walked in and paid upfront and were immediately escorted to the dining room. It's all you can eat so come hungry. The dining room is very large and consist of a series of round tables with an elevated Lazy Susan in the Center. I would guess that each table seats around 10 people but since I did not count, that is only an estimate. Server came by and took our beverage orders. Beverages came out shortly followed by stock the Lazy Susan with a myriad of dishes. My wife was leery up front of the menu because there were only two meats and that is BBQ and Fried Chicken. She is a Yankee from PA and has never developed a taste for good Southern BBQ and she was afraid that the Chicken would be all skin and grease. Bruckner's proved her wrong. While she did not try the BBQ, she loved the Fried Chicken. I liked it as well as did everyone else at the table. Nice and light, not greasy and very moist and tasteful. While she did not try the BBQ, did and it was very good. I took a dinner roll and made a small sandwich out of it. In addition, they had stewed tomatoes, lima beans, creamed corn, green beans, cooked potatoes and more. All were good although will admit, I did not partake of the Green Beans. Green Beans are the one this I will not eat. As one menu item is depleted, it is replenished. Same with your beverages. As I said, it's all you can eat and the wait staff if very attentive to make sure you never run out. Nice and clean and well maintained. Just west of the Exit 201 on I-75. Head west toward Jackson GA and turn right at the first light and proceed about 1/2 miles and it's on the right.

Dinner tonight consisted of fried chicken, smoked pork, stewed tomatoes, boiled potatoes, creamed corn, green beans, fresh Lima beans, Mac and cheese and coke slaw. Dinner includes corn bread and rolls and peach cobbler for dessert! Drink included! Price is 19.99 adults, 5 & up is $12.99 and under 5 eat free. Everything was delicious!! The peach cobbler was the best I ever had (even better than Grandmas!!!!) Bring cash to tip your server! Highly recommend!!!!
