Carriage House Restaurant

We were blown away by the great home cooking. Favorites on the buffet were the chicken pot pie, green beans, fried chicken and red velvet cake to boot!  Will come here again next time we're passing through.

We dine here often when in Townsend. I think sometimes people see a buffet and forget this place also has a menu !!  The service is always friendly and prompt, the servers have been here for years !  Menu items I can recommend are the fried grouper......awesome, generous portions.....ask for a take out box. The sliders are wonderful, they actually make their burgers with really good beef. The sweet tea is great, and refilled regularly, servers will offer some for the road as well.
    As for the country buffet, the salad bar is very good with lots of selection although the iceberg lettuce can be a bit brown on the edges at times. The vegetables are pretty much what a tourist would think was southern home cooking, actually it's more out of a can. BUT......the fried chicken is VERY good.....And with the buffet, the brownies they make routinely are great.
   I recommend you try it.....we enjoy the breakfast here as well.

Very homey and "country". Husband got a burger and I got a grilled cheese and veggie soup. Both were decent... nothing to write home about, but affordable (10% discount if you're staying at the Talley Ho Inn) and decent. Many of the items looked very heavy. The service was very quick and friendly.
