    First time at Vivians. We have a trailer 20 minutes from here. Just have to say that the home cooked buffet was fantastic. We had a party of 9 and I have to say that as busy as this place was we were definitely taken care of. The service was exceptional and the food reminded me of the home cooked meals at my grandma's on Sundays. The owners made a point to visit each table. This to me shows dedication to their customers. Big city restaurants could learn from this small town restaurant. Look forward to coming again for a regular dinner. Great food, great service and a great time. Thank you.

    Excellent food. Very friendly service. Very good for the price. My new favorite sunday breakfast spot! ***edit, few years later. Food here is absolutely amazing. Just had the brisket dinner and an order of garlic parmesan chicken wings. Nice portions. One thing that really stands out to me here is the quality of the cooking, everything is always done to absolute perfection. Their cakes are phenomenal too!

    Stopped in for first time, the smell was amazing. They smoke their own meats right there, Sundays is a buffet. Which is not what we wanted, not that it wouldn't have been delicious. We just wanted something small, not aware of Sundays is just the buffet. But the chef made a exception for us. Which was great, so we got a lg ceasar salad, smoked brisket on bun, and chicken ceasar wrap. Everything was totally amazing, our waitress Michelle, I believe her name was. Was also very amazing, the restaurant is not crazy big. But she was very attentive to all her customers, and it was busy. And getting busier as we were leaving. So if ever out Courtland way, you must stop in.

    This is one of the best buffets I have ever had. Everything is fresh, delicious, and hot. Very yummy, the cheese cake was amazing! The sausages, the brisket, the veggies and fruit were perfect. We will be back!

    Our new favorite spot! My family and I had an amazing experience here for dinner. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere warm and welcoming, and our server couldn’t have been friendlier. They even went above and beyond for our 2yr old bringing her a fun sippy cup and some crayons with paper to keep her entertained. It was such a lovely evening overall. We’re already looking forward to our next family outing to enjoy more of their incredible homemade food!

    Absolutely outstanding buffet experience! We visited for the Sunday Buffet and were delighted by the exceptional quality of the food. I highly recommend giving it a try. We were fortunate to find a table, but noticed they accept reservations, which I suggest considering due to its popularity. The beef brisket was the best I've ever had!

    Vivian's Country Cookin' offers the best breakfast and brunch I have ever had! The food is homemade, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better!!! The omelette bar is amazing, with any fixings you could choose. The cozy booths and charming atmosphere add to the delightful experience. A unique highlight is the charming train in the ceiling that travels around through a miniature countryside—such a delightful touch! This place has quickly become our new favorite restaurant. My husband loves fried chicken and he said their fried chicken is way better than any chicken place. We just loved this place on first visit and will be regulars. Highly recommend!!!!!
