The Gathering Table - Chiefland

It was great. Service was friendly and good. The salad bar was good. Most seemed homemade. The food was well seasoned. The crust on the fried chicken was not too fat and was a little salty what I personally love. We had to ask for bread what was unusual. Very recommended.

Normal stop when driving back from Biloxi. We live in Tarpon springs and it's only 101 miles away. Well worth the drive. This time we stopped today around 315 to find a wonderful lady named Laura . She was so friendly and so happy to be doing her job. The food as always was awesome. But today the service was top notch. This is a must stop.

I grew up southern and love the food. It’s hard to find in South Florida so when I’m in the rest of Florida I always seek out southern home Cookin. This spot hits all my buttons. The food is good, the buffet is very nice. The folks were friendly and took good care of us. We were there on a Sunday late morning after a campin trip and even with the large after church crowd to bump elbows with at the buffet it was a pleasurable experience. My wife hates buffets and is very picky, but even she was very happy and didn’t send anything back for a change. I’ll definitely seek them out next time I’m up that way!

We have driven past The Gathering Table for 28 years and never gotten to stop because we usually have a dog or two with us. But today 6/5/2022 we did not. While the buffet was disappointing because it consisted of canned vegetables and fried chicken chicken was amazing) but no salad bar , or other options our waitress made the visit worth it I really wish I had of gotten her name. She was the dark headed girl and she was just amazing! She was funny, sweet, fast and accurate. There fore she got a 50% tip even though I believe that if you can’t provide the full buffet you shouldn’t charge full price. I’m I saw several people leave because the buffet wasn’t up to pare. I’m assuming that it is usually much better than it was today because folks looked disappointed to not get what they must have been used too.

Breakfast, all you can eat buffet. What more can I say. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
