Every Memorial Day my man and I go to visit the family graves. We have to drive through Mount Sterling every time and we try to eat at a different place each time. Sometimes we do not get anything other than the Dairy Freeze, as it is the only thing open on the holiday. But this holiday we went on Sunday, not actually on Memorial Day and we had a choice of several places that were open. We decided to try out Ben & Joy's and we are glad that we did. It was Sunday Buffet, yummy. My man tried everything and liked everything, a couple of things were missing some seasoning. I had very little due to having a hangover from the night before. But I did have the mashed potatoes with gravy and corn. Both were wonderful, I did have to add some salt and pepper but it was still great. I also had a fried chicken wing that was great, even an hour later when I could actually eat it. It is like stepping back in time. The decor appears to be original and from the at least the 1950's. That being said it was still as clean as you would expect for the bygone era but it was not dirty. You could tell that the place has been there for quite a while. Everyone was very nice and there were all types of people eating, so I do not feel that they do not accept certain kinds of people like another reviewer stated. We sat ourselves and the few staff there were there were nice, even if they were quiet. The staff did not come to the table every few minutes, only two or three times during our whole meal, it was very pleasant. Unlike some more recent\newer restaurants where it seems like the staff wants to be your friend and sit down with you or pester you eight times during your meal.

Had breakfast here while visiting Deer Creek. Food was relatively good, though nothing fantastic. Just very ordinary breakfast fare. Real issue was the less than enthusiastic waitress. She wasn't unpleasant but definitely was not the least bit interested in conversing or even faking at being happy to see new faces. Perhaps they only want the locals to eat there.

Very good, especially for a small town. Waitstaff very friendly, the decor like stepping back in time - just the kind of thing small towns are known for and exactly what we were hoping for - very charming. You can order off the menu or take advantage of the hot & cold buffet - and I was VERY impressed with the buffet. Standard small town fare - good old meat, HOMEMADE mashed potatoes, several vegetables, two different kinds of HOMEMADE bean soup, etc. You could shut your eyes and swear you're eating your grandma's cooking. We loved it. The salad bar wasn't fancy either, not a huge selection but I wouldn't expect it to be - the restaurant obviously knows its usual clientele and does what its good at and that's a good thing. Bravo! We'll be back!

I went to this place once with a friend and we couldn't get anyone to wait on us. They had a buffet so we helped ourselves and left without leaving a tip. The woman at the register acted as though it was some kind of mistake when we told her but it was clear that our kind wasn't welcome there.

Ben & Joy's is HANDS DOWN, my favorite Sunday afternoon spot for a buffet brunch. Brief history: I found out about Ben & Joy's one Sunday while producing a Walmart commercial in the area. I was searching for a mom to be in the spot who was from Mt. Sterling, Ohio. We decided to meet at a store that unbeknownst to us, was closed. The only other open establishment was B&J's. Walking in, the room was full of family style tables, chock full of locals in their Sunday's best attire from church service. All packed in for the famous Ben & Joy's fried chicken Sunday buffet! We got a table, and for me it was an instant classic! For $10, you can eat as much as you want! The marque item is the fried chicken, which is some of the best I have ever had! I ask for honey and hot sauce which I like with mine. The family recipe is a light salty batter. They bring a 600 hotel pan out of the kitchen chock full of chicken every 10 or 15 minutes. The rest of the bar is a familiar salad bar, mashed potatoes, brisket, noodles in gravy, and steamed veggies. There are also home baked pies and a la carte items as well. I give Ben & Joy's a 5 STARS for the chicken and atmosphere, which is all you need! The rest of the food I would rank as average buffet offerings, but seriously, the chicken is so outrageously good, there is no need to even think about the other things on the buffet table. Like Thanksgiving where it is all about the stuffing and gravy. Who gives a rats behind about the carrots?!?! Other than the chicken, what makes this place so special is the fellowship inside. The first time I came in, I was so touched by the atmosphere, I asked who was behind it all and the waitress said a woman by the name of Joy. I asked her to send her to my table if she had a moment. A few minutes later a beautiful senior came up to me and introduced herself as Joy, grabbed my arm, and whisked me from the table. She gave me a tour of the kitchen, showed me the staff, and brought me to EVERY table and introduced me to practically everyone in the restaurant. She knew everyone by name, and there must have been close to 100 people eating like maniacs, all chicken filled plates, from an all too familiar Sunday service fast just waiting for that great meal. I felt like I had just been invited to someone's family reunion. So perhaps it was that love i tasted in the food, or the service towards her neighbors that Joy and her family tend to, and maybe it is the family recipe too. Maybe it was all of those things including my wanting to be a part of something larger than my regular Sunday routine. I have been back to Ben & Joy's a number of times and they treat me like family every time I stop in. It's a little bit of Sunday fried chicken heaven you should not miss out! When you go, do yourself a favor and say hi to Joy, she's amazing! ~ Keida Mascaro

The food was great. Service was friendly. Loved the vegetable soup and the pie was great (we had the lemon meringue, peanut butter and Coconut cream pie) I think we might come back for dinner :-)
