Country Pride - Manning

I had an amazing experience at the TA restaurant! When I walked in, I was thrilled to find a place that offered more than just the usual fast food options like Popeyes, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut. The food variety was impressive, especially the buffet and home-cooked meals. Unlike standard fast food establishments, this restaurant had real servers, and the atmosphere was clean and inviting. It was really enjoyable, with uplifting quotes displayed at each booth. I'm sharing some pictures because I truly believe this place is a hidden gem! Thank you for providing such a fantastic dining experience for travelers looking for a great meal. While I might still choose Popeyes, Taco Bell, or Pizza Hut occasionally, I’ll definitely make this restaurant my top choice on my next visit—unless I'm really craving those Pizza Hut breadsticks!

I waited over 25 minutes for the waitress to come to our table. She was friendly, but since she was the only server on duty at that time, I understand that it wasn't entirely her fault. We ended up waiting for more than an hour for our food to be prepared. The manager was sitting at a table with her friends, and it wasn't until she wanted their food rushed that she finally got up to help in the kitchen. When our meals finally arrived, the eggs were overcooked, and the food lacked any flavor at all. This was, without a doubt, the worst dining experience I've ever had. Just to clarify, we couldn't leave because my husband is a truck driver and was on the clock. I genuinely believe the management needs to reevaluate their staffing, or at the very least, hire a cook who knows what they're doing.

This was my first experience at this restaurant, and I genuinely hope it's my last. I ordered a dish called "Friday," which was supposed to come with rice, but all I got were two fish fillets and a few tomatoes. To add to my disappointment, the service was exceedingly rude, and I truly felt discriminated against.

The soup and salad bar is outstanding! It's included with many meals, and you can also add it to other dishes for a very reasonable price.

I had dinner at this restaurant tonight and found the experience quite disappointing. We waited over an hour for our food, and it took an additional 30 minutes to get drink refills. There was only one waitress and one cook, which appeared to cause issues for several other customers as well.
