If you like KFC this is the place to have the absolute best of the original recipe. We got the all you can eat option, but with the large amount of sides, we could only eat two pieces. Several choices of sides, but unfortunately, they don't have cole slaw. The rolls were very good and there's plenty to choose from on the salad bar. They have a full menu so there's more than chicken to order. The service is very good and attentive. Lots of photos of the the Sanders throughout and there's also a giftshop. Their home is right next to the restaurant too.

The restaurant had lots of options, but the food itself was underwhelming. I got Fried chicken with Nashville flavor. The chicken was soggy even though it was freshly made. I thought it was because mine was Nashville hot, but my wife got the regular fried chicken and it was still the same. The salad bar looked good and very valuable for the money. The service was good and waitress was friendly. They had a small museum upstairs and it was interesting to see those. I won't be back but definitely a must try at least once bc of it's significance to Ky

From the time we stepped into the building I was impressed with the old country charm! Our server Lisha was attentive, friendly, totally on the ball! She was a joy! The food was incredible and the variety great. Very old school all the way around. This is a must see, eat and enjoy! Oh and the welcoming committee/manager is just great! Friendly, soft and cuddly!

Sunday lunch buffet at Claudia Sanders Dinner House. We try to make it out there a few times a year. Today they had fried chicken and buffalo style chicken. They also had their standard pork loin and roast beef carving station and salad bar. The salad bar always looks great but neither of us wanted to make room for it. All the other fixings were great. Beets, mashed potatoes, green beans, chicken pot pie, corn pudding, boneless BBQ chicken, vegetable medley, cabbage, and derby pie.

This is the hidden gem of Kentucky! Col would be proud of his wife's legacy here in Shelbyville. To start off they bring out this all you can eat bread (yummy). My wife went with the boneless chicken meal that come with two sides Mac N Cheese and mashed potatoes no gravy for her. I choose the Claudia's two piece white meat dinner my sides were mashed potatoes and gravy, and Mac n cheese. This is Military friendly location.
