Loretta Lynn’s Kitchen

Like everyone else — was drawn in by the name and hoping for comfort food but huge disappointment. The biscuits were like sponges and even the butter fails — it’s actually whipped oil. It was an amusing stop only for how sad and out of date it all was. Sending an SOS to Loretta… this place could be a landmark instead of disappointing roadside attraction.

Called them for a to go order & they wouldnt even answer
Steer clear of this dump… it really looks like a health hazards.
If you want the worst food on the planet, you might like this place it is A DUMP!!!

Food was excellent and Lenny of it on the buffet. Particularly good were sweet potato casserole, cornbread dressing and sweet corn. Wait staff was very attentive. Good stop on a trip across Tennessee.

I’m really sorry to say I did eat here for breakfast but will never go back! Hard to think that Loretta Lynn’s name is attached to this eatery. Pancakes hard, gravy thin as paint. Biscuits so hard they crumbled when trying to open. Ham so thin like paper. Tea was good. Their were four of us and we all felt very disappointed. Wasted 46 $ quick.

Food was awful… buffet was mostly inedible. I didn’t know anyone could mess up jello and chocolate pudding until I ate here. Only edible thing was the mashed potatoes. I would have rather eaten at the gas station than here.

This place is an outdated shrine with terrible bland food. The sweet tea tasted like tap water with sugar in it. The macaroni and cheese was gelatinous and without flavor. The corn bread was rock hard, salty, and had a fishy flavor. The salad bar consisted of wet iceberg lettuce, various buckets of mayonnaise covered noodles, pudding, jello, and cucumbers that looked like used condoms. Huge waste of money. Service was good though. Too bad the food tasted like old microwaved leftovers.

For buffet food it was pretty good, classic country food. Staff very friendly and accomodating.

Until they take him off of the currency, Alexander Hamilton is enough to get you an all-​you-​can-​eat buffet here at Loretta Lynn’s. I’m going to call this place under-​rated on Unilocal.The macaroni and cheese, which is usually the only benchmark that matters, isn’t that great. Creamy, but not quite cheesy enough, although the endless quantity was nice. But the buffet I got was catfish, brisket, chicken, livers, corn bread, hush puppies, and a lot of other things, which made for a great meal overall.
And the food is only half the fun. Our waitress was the epitome of southern charm, telling us everything we wanted to know about Loretta, her sister, and the restaurant when we asked. The décor — from Loretta Lynn pictures on the wall to the life size model on stage — and the store selling Loretta themed travel goodies give the place a bit more weirdness, and a bit more fun. All around worth stopping in if you’re driving through!

I had both the breakfast and lunch buffet on two separate days.
The breakfast buffet is $ 7.99 and about a .5 star. The bacon & country ham were the same texture, potatoes hard, and sausage patties beyond greasy to the point of inedible. They did have what seemed to be canned peaches and canned cantaloupe in syrup…
The lunch buffet $ 9.99 had fried chicken and pulled pork. The fried chicken was good! But the BBQ was just simmering in liquid fat and all the sides were extremely bland with little taste. White beans and cornbread was okay.
I gave two stars because the ladies that work there are nice.
I do not recommend stopping by for breakfast or lunch.

Uh I’m thinking Loretta doesn’t have much to do with this place other than lend her name to it. I’m almost positive she stopped giving them cooking advice a long, long time ago.
I had the country fried steak platter which included mashed potatoes and BROWN gravy, creamed corn and green beans. Oh there was something that resembled a biscuit but I could have used it as a hockey puck. The country fried steak would have to be 10x better than it was to be even considered mediocre. The corn and green beans were good — mashed potatoes were lumpy and since they came with brown gravy I am at a loss for words.
I had pecan pie a la mode since I obviously was still starving — I can’t describe how disappointing it was … BTW I wanted cobbler — hell even Cracker Barrel has cobbler! Loretta Lynn’s country kitchen did not.
The gift shop was an ode to the confederacy. Does anyone down here realize the south lost? 150 years ago? Get the hell over it.
I’ve driven past this place numerous times telling myself I should stop in someday. Next time I’ll just keep on driving.

Loretta Lynn would be upset if she came in and tasted the food, everything had no taste, it all tasted bad, $ 13 bucks down the drain. The floors are dirty, the plates are dirty, I would not eat there even if the food was free. I was trying to figure out why everyone was going to McDonalds across the street. Now I know why!

Underwhelming is an understatement. Actually stopped on this exit just to eat here. Should have had the hotel cold bar breakfast instead. Do not go for the buffet. Nothing is seasoned and all is over cooked.
Asked for fresh eggs and toast, brought runny eggs and toast with no butter. You have to ask for butter and they will «bring it». Goes along with no seasoning I guess.
–Pass it up, unless you wanna see 1980’s Waffle House meets wanna be Cracker Barrel.

Mediocre catfish and racist cookie jars. Proceed with caution. There’s a Subway across the street, just saying.
