3 /5 Catfish Texas (John Crouch): Travelled to Tyler Texas on business and while out there I got the idea to look for the old school county buffet. I found Loggins. The reviews rated it as 4.5 and the menu seemed right up my alley. When I arrived and walked in there was a large crowd which made me feel good. The parking lot was full another good sign. After I sat down and ordered a water I walked to the buffet. It was smaller than expect but options where fish, spagethi, goulash, fried chicken, chicken fried steak and side. I tried the fish as yall know and it was super fries, so much that you could not eat. The other dishes where all overly cooked and everything lacked seasoning at all. The mac and cheese was more like a soup . The food was abysmal. The only thing that was good was the sweet potatoes but they were right our of a can and warmed up. Same thing you get from a grocery store. The staff was great and the homemade pie was okay. But its the staff that makes it. Nothing like hearing sweetie and dear. They were attentive and working hard. Which is the only reason this place is a 3 star. If you looking for a replacement for old country buffet this is not it. But the staff reminds you that old Town kindness we all remember from our youth. Sorry to say I am a one and done for Loggins Buffet.
