Thunderbird Motel

OK, so I was having lunch at a famous place in Savannah where you have to stand in line for hours to eat at a table with strangers and it was from these folks that I learned about the great buffet at this place. Wow, what a tip! I stopped at this place on I-​95 while returning to New York the other day for lunch. It is basically a motel dining room buffet so you enter through the motel entrance. Met by a lovely southern accented hostess we payed our $ 16 (for the both of us!!!) and proceed to the buffet table. This amazing buffet had Fried chicken, baked chicken, sausage, chitlins, beef stew, stewed chicken, barbecued pork, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, string beans, butter beans, black eyed peas, collard greens, corn bread and biscuits as well as a few other things (so many on this buffet, I forgot). The fried chicken, mostly dark meat and wings, was moist and tender with a fantastic crunchy coating. The sausages were nice and spicy, baked chicken thigh, flavorful and all the extras were hot and delicious. The return to the buffet for dessert was a treat with three types of cobblers, a number of cakes and pies as well as banana pudding. The standout was the peach cobbler with the best and flakiest crust I ever tasted! Our waitress never stopped filling our glasses with delicious sweet tea as well. So, if you find yourself on I-​95 heading for your destination and feel a little hunger pang coming on make this another destination. It’s worth the stop.
