Cypress Inn Restaurant

Stop. Go in. Sit down. Relax and enjoy. Don't hurry. Just be in this place, with these kind people. The food is so southern it was irresistible. We were peckish and intended to share meal, but instead we rolled out after sampling almost everything on the flavorful buffet. Such a nice surprise. Old. Quaint. Full of locals. Amazing. Stop reading and go fill your plate.

Always a great experience when stopping by Cypress Inn Restaurant! Great food! Reasonable prices! Friendly folks! One of the last gems still around. They dont make places like this anymore! We were happy they were still open and still awesome!

Small town whole in the wall This place is the classic dive, you know. Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives loved the decor awesome. My first time eating here it was good but not great . Overall, give it a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10 We got pancakes, breakfast sandwiches , and biscuits gravy over medium eggs bacon . However, this place is NO whole in the wall. Are you going ? Just how sure are you 50%, 75%, or ? Of going to heaven The Bible says: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after that the judgment. Hebrews 9: 27 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3: 3 Behold I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door. I will come in to him, and will sup with him and he with me. REVELATION 3:20 The word "sup" means relationship amazing. The God Heaven desires a relationship with YOU!! That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9

We stopped for lunch because I read a review that said "best fried chicken." The restaurant was very busy but there were two empty tables. My friends ordered from the menu and I got the buffet. It was fantastic and amazingly quick! I would happily eat here daily if I lived in the area. Will definitely be a destination point when in that area!!

Don’t let my four star rating keep you away from this ancient little building of southern awesomeness. The staff, the building and the food are all wonderful reasons to plan your trip around a visit to this century old Christ centered establishment. It does look a little rough on the exterior but once inside you’ll enjoy a clean front end with fresh smiles and enough pecky cypress to panel NASA’s VAB! (Maybe I overstated that one, LOL) My wife was hungry for a really good burger, which they promised and boy, did they deliver... It was mouth-watering smash-burger perfection! I couldn’t resist the southern buffet that was still fresh at the end of the night with a light, crisp coating on the fried chicken and pork chops, flavorful southern sides and almost gooey chocolate sheet cake for desert.

Staff is super friendly and the little buffet was amazing! If we ever come through this way again we will definitely stop in again

Excellent home style food from their burgers to their Friday night seafood!! The best friendly service!
