New Restaurant at Harrah's?

I was told last night that Harrah's is making a change to their restaurant lineup ... the Villa buffet is being taken out to put in a new Paula Deen restaurant. Anybody else heard this?

I ate at the Lady & Sons in GA about 4 years ago. That fried chicken was outrageously good (IMO).

Harrahs in Tunica has one. It is a Paula Deen themed buffet.

You’ve had her over to your place on several occasions through Food Network. Now she’d like to return the favor! Paula Deen warmly invites you to the Paula Deen Buffet, exclusive to Harrah’s Tunica. This 560-seat, cutting-edge restaurant is modeled after Paula’s own home. You’ll savor the Queen of Southern Cuisine’s down-home recipes in this unique upscale buffet.

Interesting. I'd like to see this happen...

Our experience and her restaurant in Savannah was less than stellar. The food was OK but overpriced for what it was and it was more of a tourist attraction than a good place to eat. Hopefully, the buffets are a better experience.

What I've read about her buffet in Tunica is that the spicing is "dumned down" to attract the lowest common denominator . . . mac and cheese pretty tasteless, cream gravy lacking spice and just bland, that sort of thing. Prices were decent. I was going to check it out anyways, but trip got changed.

Yes, I have heard that a few months ago.

We ate at her place in Savannah a few years ago. Sure, it's a tourist destination, with lines out the door. I honestly don't recall the prices. But.........best fried chicken EVER.

Never been to any of her places, but think everyone here should come over for the buffet, gamble a little and then go home....we need the revenue over here in Harrison County.
