"Be sure to sample the cracklin' cornbread, the blackberry cobbler, and the white beans with ham that taste just as good as any grandmother's." Julianna Brown, Southern Living Magazine - Quoted from the April 2005 issue of Southern Living Magazine - The Ultimate Resource for Life in the South www.southernliving.com

One of the most trusted names in travel today:
"While you are in Jackson, tour the train museum and sip a root beer at Casey Jones Village, (tel. 1-800-748-9588), an old-time country store and soda fountain in Jackson named for the legendary turn-of-the-century railroad conductor who lost his life rescuing others in a train wreck. Let the kids blow off some steam (so to speak) by climbing aboard a real turn-of-the-century locomotive."

Jackson Area Plectral Society:
"Our old time traditional music is an inheritance that has been passed along to us for preservation. I can think of no other place than the Old Country Store and Casey Jones Village for our music to call home. Thank you so much." ~John Few

"The food was very delicious & the atmosphere is great. Remind us of our Grandmother's Southern cooking. You need to keep Wanda as a waitress because she is an asset to your restaurant. Her service was wonderful going beyond her duties as a waitress to make sure we enjoyed our dinner. We will be back the next time we visit Jackson!"

"Best Restaurant in Jackson!" ~David

"Your server treated us like royalty! The food was excellent!"
~George and Faith Newcastle, Ontario Cananda

Andrew has a great attitude and the restaurant has a great atmosphere! Thanks for the great food!" ~Tammy from Mt. Pleasant, Texas

"I have the fondest memories of the Old Country Store from childhood ..there are too many to number. We were suddenly living in another time from the moment we entered the front door. It was truly a magical place. I am now 50 and my brother is not far behind. I am so happy to know the tradition keeps going for all the other families who need to connect to their Southern roots. It's a comforting feeling to know you all are still there." ~Kim from Illinois

"We were in here last night for supper. It was excellent then and excellent this morning. Our waitress, Amanda was just as great as Willie. My husband and I are very impressed with the food, the courtesy and overall appearance of everything! Also, thank you for saving our table. :)"

"We'll be back!" ~The Taylor Family

"I honestly believe you employ the best cooks in the state. The food is consistently excellent. The wait staff is always prompt and very friendly. We stop here every time we come through Tennessee."

"Enjoyed last night's buffet so much we came back for breakfast! Thanks!"

"Food is always excellent as is service. We enjoy telling our friends about y'all because they all agree the food is always fresh, hot and reminds you of Mom's Sunday Dinner. :) Keep up the great work!"

To Management: "Nate, our server, was one of the most gracious and kind people we have had the pleasure of dining with and being served by. Our compliments to him and your staff. Nate could be a role model for the position that he holds. Thanks!"

"Really enjoyed the pancakes and steaming hot toppings. Also the cinnamon cake was delicious. Great variety of food and all hot and fresh. Great meal!" ~Tony & Beverly Clarksville, TN

"My Yankee wife even liked it: everything!"

"By far the best food and place to eat ever. We drove approximately 400 miles mainly to eat here." ~Pauline and Ronald

"My husband and I visited the Village on a tour in November. It was like going back in time. I expected to meet up with someone from "Little House on the Prairie" or "The Waltons"...both wonderful shows. It was fantastic. We have never been anywhere quite like it. I was so engrossed in looking around at all the things I forgot to pick up my fudge which I was upset about as I have heard it delicious. We did buy the cookbook. I bought some Christmas decorations and they are a fantastic memory of our trip. Thanks once again." ~Mandy and Carl from Shrewsbury, England United Kingdom.

"This is the BEST place from Texas to Michigan. We find ourselves waiting overnight to eat breakfast here and planning our trips to make sure we are going through at dinner time. We've told everybody. Thanks! Love the music too!" ~John and Betty

"Everything was Fantastic! If the food in Heaven is like this, that will be great!"

"Best place to eat on the Interstate System!"
