Bigfoot Crossing Campground and Eatery: Reviews & Ratings
Fun casual place to eat. Paper plates and plastic utensils... great buffet, very good salads. Everyone working was very nice and friendly and helpful. Used plates are picked up quickly. Refill on drinks are quickly brought to the table. Large variety of meat on buffet, including steak, shrimp, chicken, chicken wings. Grilled pineapple is a unique treat.
OUTSTANDING! ! You must come experience their food in a quaint country setting. The staff is amazing as well as the food. Well worth the drive and you will not be disappointed. Be prepared to come back. We live a 1/2 hour away and made a couple trips already. You can dine outside as well and enjoy the country setting.
Fabulous and Friendly. This is a little jewl in the middle of nowhere! Steak, brisket, fried chicken, baked fish, steamed crab legs, mash potatoes, gravy, gumbo, shrimp, salad and perfect sweet tea. Everything was fresh and delicous! Very clean too.
Great lil place to stop and eat. They had a menu to order food from or you could opt for their buffet! The food on the buffet was good and fresh. Also, check out Spider, the wood carver at the corner of the lot. Great guy to talk to. He's there on the weekends so try to catch him early. He makes fantastic art and some of his creations are for sale!
An amazing hidden gem in our local area! I had no idea this restaurant was near Milton. We had the buffet with brazilian style beef, Cornish hen, and pork roast.... Very tender and flavorful. It has a small salad bar and refill drinks. We paid as we first came in, small family business with 1 waitress that did it all! Amazing little eatery with a built in bar and coffee shop! I was very impressed with this local business!
Pros: Good variety, friendly service, helpful staff, warm family environment. Top food: catfish, potatoes, grilled pineapple, fried chicken Cons: Pork butt was a little dry, bbq was tasty but no heat (options might be available for more heat, maybe ask if you are into bbq with a bite), the cups they give you are flimsy. One split in half when a kiddo tried to put the lid on. My only recommendation would be to invest in higher quality cups. Came here by word-of-mouth, and we are so grateful for the recommendation! The outside is decorated in these absolutely insanely awesome wooden sculptures. All for sale! Very affordable price for this quality art! We got there on a Saturday around 4 pm, and there were only a few other people in the dining area. The place was clean and warm. There was a good variety of food choices. I would categorize it as "Southern Basics."" As well as a salad bar. The catfish absolutely rocked. Some of the best fried chicken (only thighs noted) I've ever had, as well as a grill that is absolutely delicious. YOU MUST TRY THEIR GRILLED . They have a little bakery with a lovely array of desserts. Mostly different kinds of cheese cake. But also a lemon cake that is very delicious!! It was dense like a cake pop. Service was prompt and friendly. Beth, Hayley, and Jewell did an amazing job making us feel right at home. We had a little spill, and they didn't seem inconvenienced or annoyed like you might see at other places. What surprised me the most was the cost. This place is crazy affordable for families. Strongly recommend for folks looking for great food at a low cost.
Wasn’t sure about passing through but I thank God I did this food was amazing. Great suggestions by the cashier and owners were welcoming. Also the wood carver “Spider” in the front has great art and a positive example of the American dream alive. Thank you.
Very clean and friendly atmosphere. Food was delicious and tasted fresh. Good flavor with alot of options. Can't wait to try the pastel de nata for dessert!
