    Really GREAT food and service has been great also! Catfish on Thursday and Friday is worth going for!!! My wife loves the fried green tomatoes, but you have to get there early due to them being a big favorite!

    I have been here MANY times, but will NOT be back! The food is good. The servers are friendly. Sadly, the management stinks. My hubby and I went to Mildred's for dinner tonight. We were told to sit anywhere we wanted. The air in the main dining room was out (again), so we headed to the new section (where the air usually works). We were told that section was closed, so we left to go eat at Cassie's (where the air conditioning works). I called to talk to the manager. I told him what happened, and he said, "It is a maintenance issue that we have been dealing with for a while." I asked why the ONLY section with air conditioning was closed, and he said, "Well, if you don't want to eat here, that's fine " I will NOT be back. The food is good, but not good enough to sit in the heat....or be verbally mistreated by the manager.

    Didn't live up to the hype. I went to Mildred's for the first time and I was underwhelmed. Don't misunderstand, the food was pretty good and our waitress was nice. But when a restaurant advertises that they are "one of the top 20 buffets in America" then they set a very high bar for themselves.... And for me the experience fell short. I ate there for lunch on a weekday. The tables were a little too close together. When I reached to pull out my chair the back of the chair broke off... When it comes to the food, the veggies and sides we're delicious. My chicken and dumplings we're good. But my mom's chicken breast and my grandmother's meatloaf was dry. The ice cream was delicious! For me the best parts were the sides and the ice cream.

    Had a steak, .medium. baked potato and rice. Steak and potato were great. Rice was literally room temp. Hot food should be served hot. Asked for hot rice. Server told me that she would put it in the warmer for me because they don't have a microwave. Grateful for her honesty, however, I didn't want the same cold rice heated up. Food temp is important. Can't imagine I will be making the drive back to Mildred's. Too bad, because I wanted to like this restaurant. As we were leaving I passed by the buffet, which had already had all pans removed. The water in the hot wells was disgusting. I mean, not one days worth of gunk, but gunk built up over days, weeks,months. Those wells need to be cleaned daily. Yikes!! Eat there at your own risk. Sorry to be so brutal. But it is what it is.

    Not quite as good as in the past, but was overall still good. The desserts were not good tho. Peach cobbler looked bad, watery, and undercooked. Others just not good. Main courses were great and most sides good to great tho. Fried catfish still amazingly good for all you can eat
