Today from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Country Place Restaurant invites families to bring their mothers and grandmothers to the family-owned and operated restaurant for a buffet full of home-cooked recipes that Mom didn’t have to cook and won’t have to clean up after.
“Whether your mother or grandmother lives at the end of a country lane or on a brick-lined street in town, you’re sure to have sweet memories of Sunday dinner at her home – we surely do,” says Sharon Trussell, who manages the restaurant with her husband Mike and son Jeremy. “What better way to bring back those memories or spend time with her than enjoying yummy food! Show mom love with a home-cooked meal she would cook for you but doesn’t have to.”
The Trussells have hosted their Mother’s Day buffet for more than 30 years and say they see many of their regular customers come back year after year to enjoy the feast with family.
The special buffet costs $11.95 per diner and includes access to a long line of Southern-style favorites such as fried chicken, baked ham, tender roast beef and Granny’s oven-baked boneless chicken. A huge selection of sides like broccoli casserole and steamed squash as well as a variety of delicious house-made desserts such as carrot cake and strawberry shortcake will be available. The buffet will also feature a full salad bar.
“We’ll have a buffet selection fit for a queen,” says Trussell. “And of course it wouldn’t be a dinner like you were at grandma’s without a delicious homemade dessert selection. Our lemon ice box pie and banana pudding are famous.”
