    Pros; The food overall was great, the fried chicken was outstanding. Staff were great, very attentive and friendly.

    Cons;  The place could use a make-over!  Locals probably wouldn't care, if I were the owners, I would be looking to expand my customer base and hours by making the place more attractive.

    Stopped in here because I was already in Eastman and wanted to eat somewhere I hadn't eaten before. It's an excellent southern food buffet. I went with green beans, brussel sprouts, collards, friend chicken, and biscuits.

    The fried chicken was great: had plenty of flavor and not too salty. The green beans and collards were absolutely delicious. The brussel sprouts were a bit softer than I'd like: I understand that some of that was the effect of sitting under a lamp, but I figure that to compensate they should initially be cooked to be just a little bit crisp so that the time under the lamp doesn't make them too soft.

    The biscuits were also great. I always appreciate biscuits that can stay soft while under a heat lamp (especially because I am a bad southerner and don't have them with gravy). So this gets props from me.

    There wasn't any fried shrimp out this time (which I'd been looking forward to from another review), but that just gives me an excuse to come back again.

    It's a buffet-the fried chicken was fantastic and the shrimp was really good. I didn't expect (1) Shrimp or (2) The shrimp to be properly cooked. Most buffet shrimp is pretty much rubber. Service was friendly. Obviously a popular place but seating was plentiful and the line moves fast.

    This local haunt was very good. We stopped for lunch and were NOT disappointed.  The veggies, meats, and most importantly the dessert were delicious!!!  The Trackside Cafe will certainly be on my list when passing through Eastman.

    We were in Eastman going to a doctor's appointment and had to eat lunch. Found this place using yelp and I'm glad we stopped.  The fried chicken and salmon croquettes were delicious.  They also had a good salad bar and dessert bar. People were also friendly.
