Great food. Large selection, service by everyone is efficient. The interior decor is amazing. Pictures and of all military service members from around the world. Also a section with Elvis Presley and his pictures.

Wonderful buffet and real down home cooking like grandma used to make. Lots of good veggies and fried chicken and pulled pork. Top it off with the dessert bar and you'll walk away stuffed! The highlight of the meal is the opportunity to browse the walls and look at all of the pictures of the men who served in our armed forces. It's a real history lesson of the fine people of Dickson and surrounding areas.

Stumbled into the Plantation buffet restaurant today after having seen it recommended on Facebook and happening to be in the area. We apparently arrived for the lunch buffet which cost 13.99 a person. I had a fantastic time, it was super fun to load up my plates and get a little bit of everything. My first plate I got pulled bbq pork, baked beans, mashed potatoes with gravy, a hush puppy, hot okra, corn and some kind of green bean and potato dish with beef. This plate was delicious. I loved the baked beans and pork the best, but the potatoes and gravy were also really good! The hot okra was way too spicy for me unfortunately, but luckily I only grabbed a couple to try. Second plate was orange blossom chicken, rice, Mac n cheese, and more pulled pork and baked beans and a hush puppy. I did not enjoy the Mac n cheese, it had almost zero flavor at all, but everything else on this plate was great. My husband got some similar items but he started with the salad bar and made a big salad. For dessert I had a little plate of cheese cake, two plates of carrot cake, and a cup of vanilla ice cream. The dessert were all very yummy! The restaurant is very large inside with ample tables, interesting decor, and a kids zone in the back that looked to have arcade games. The bathrooms were super clean, in fact a young woman had just finished cleaning the bathrooms as I was entering. All in all we both left very full for a price tag of 13.99 each. Getting to try so many different things was really fun. By my second plate I was getting full and there was still other things I would've liked to try but I wanted room for dessert as well. This place was kept very clean and there were a lot of staff around tending to things and keeping everything orderly and nice. This place exceeded my expectations for a buffet.

Yesterday my wife and I met our friends for lunch at The Plantation Restaurant, and I was definitely impressed by this exceptional Southern Style buffet. When you walk in, the first thing you notice is the large open seating area with a high ceiling. On the wall to the right is a wonderful tribute to veterans, with several photos and other military memorabilia. The folks we were dining with actually have their photo on the wall. The music was an oldies playlist, and it fit the atmosphere perfectly. The service was friendly and very good. To the left is a large buffet area filled with a wide variety of Southern staple dishes, and there were so many great choices that I couldn't try them all this time around. There is a large salad bar with everything you need for a fresh tasty salad, and the dessert bar was along the back wall with a wide selection of pies, cakes, cobblers, ice cream, and cookies. I really enjoyed the chicken fried steak with sawmill gravy, and the hot chicken was terrific. They had real smoked pulled pork which was delicious. I also found a new first-time favorite with the hot breaded okra! They did offer liver and gizzards which our friend seemed to enjoy very much. There was hominy, bean dishes, and fried catfish with either corn meal or batter dipped breading. They really cover all the Southern-style bases, and you definitely felt like you had all the choices available that you could possibly want. The Saturday lunch buffet bill totaled $21 for the two of us, which I thought was a great deal. The Friday and Saturday dinner buffets are $12.99 which I would definitely pay for this quality of food. This is a Southern-style buffet that will easily become one of your go-to favorites. We told our friends that we'd meet them here for lunch again very soon!

When you're ever in Dickson, Tennessee make sure you eat at the Plantation Restaurant. The restaurant is locally owned by Chris and Marcia Lucas and the southern food is absolutely off the chart. When you first walk in the first thing that stands out are all the American flags. Then you're really going to notice that on the three walls in front of you are tributes to active military veterans, Viet Nam veterans and to fallen police officer's. You have to take time to visit all three walls and see the table set for the MIA and POWs. When I came in it wasn't long before I was seated by my hostess Amanda. She was pleasant and she immediately gave me a rundown on everything that was available as well as the history. Here are some of the items on the Buffet: Fried chicken, smoked pulled pork,baked beans, lima beans, black-eyed peas,fried okra, peas, grits, white cream gravy, steamed rice. They even had orange blossom chicken, turnip greens, fried gizzards, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy along with fried cabbage and yes ham hock and white beans. I was really stuffed trying all the items here at the plantation buffet. If you leave hungry it is your fault. For those of you who prefer seafood they have that as well. They have delicious mouthwatering shrimp cocktail, fried butterfly shrimp, baked fish, chicken gumbo, low country boil, beef brisket, blackened fish as well as jumbo shrimp. You really can't go wrong here at the plantation restaurant. No meal would be complete without some of their desserts. There is something for everyone. Assorted pies and cakes and top it off with ice cream. Better yet, try some delicious banana putting or peach cobbler. I understand on Sundays they have my favorite blackberry cobbler so if you're ever in Dickson Tennessee don't miss the opportunity to stop by the Plantation Restaurant.
