Last night (June 25) our group 13 bike riders and support stopped at OleTimes for dinner. 1. Our waitress, Shelbie, was a delight. She was professional, efficient, and always very courteous. Our drinks never ran out! 2. The choices of meats and vegetables satisfied all palates. 3. Fresh salad ingredients. 4. Then, the desserts!! It was a great experience.
I was actually asked to create this by a staff member because according to them this is the best way to get corporate to fix the issues at this location, 4-5 years ago this use to be one of the better buffets ive ever been to, but my past few trips have been terrible, and this time there being no working A/C with the workers being required to wear jeans and nothing being done, the staff have great service and care and the food flavor and looks has declined by at least 90% over the past few years, me and my family will probably never return to any location again, its sad the employees cant even get corporate’s attention without having a customer leave a review. Staffs service and personalities are 100% but everything else lacks.
First time I went I fell in love. If you love southern cooking this is your place. They had me at chicken gizzards. Ribs, fried chicken all the sides that are a must in the south. If you have room after all that their desserts are so good. This is a gem.
Amazing Food and Service. Hands down the best buffet I've been to in a long time. Will be our go to spot for sure.
Kid-friendliness: Many things to choose from for the kids. Mine are a little picky but a good variety of options for them.

I’m not sure if they got new owners or chest changed everything about the restaurant there is never any fried chicken available other than the large pieces no one wants you wait 30 minutes for them to drop more chicken and then it’s gone when the first person in line gets it so I’m curious Why would you continue to put in five pieces of chicken when it is 12 noon? The quality of the food is not as good and it’s very disappointing. This is not just because of the hurricane this is the normal for the last year or since the first of the year.

Our group has just finished a long day cleaning up Hurricane debris in Ga, and FL. It was one of our birthdays as well. Stopped in, and was totally amazed at the experience. The staff were incredible, and a huge buffet before us. Full of country vittles for our eating pleasure. I believe I almost hurt myself, with multiple plates. Highly recommended.

Ole Times Country Buffet was where we stopped by for lunch after leaving Atlanta, enroute back to Miami. We had a great time dining at Golden Corral years ago so we decided to relive another diner-styled buffet – that is quite representative of our buffet experience in the USA, this time, at Ole Times Country Buffet…
Ole Times Country Buffet & Bar-B-Que is a buffet venue that offers a wide variety of food with a focus on Southern food and barbecue. You’ll be able to enjoy seafood, barbecue, pork ribs, fried chicken and many other vegetables and desserts here at Ole Times Country Buffet.
Inside, we love the country-style and homely interior decorations. You can see lots of wooden panelling, furnishings and furnitures within. If you look closely on the top that lines the restaurant, you’ll also find many different types of cookie jars on display! This is so cool and local! Upon entering, we paid our buffet at a total of $33 for 2 people. We also added a tip on the card which the cashier returned to us in cash. This allowed us to place the tip at the table before we leave.
The buffet selection at Ole Times Country Buffet and BBQ is very extensive. No matter your preferences, you’d likely be able to find something that suits your tastes. For vegans, you’ll find a great selection of salads and condiments as well as cooked vegetables (spinach and beans). For carnivores (like us), you’ll be happy to find barbecue meats, fried chicken, fish and chips and even grilled chicken. For desserts, you can choose from pies, cakes, cinnamon rolls and more! With so much choice at Ole Times Country Buffet, we found ourselves going for seconds and thirds and more…?

We had the best waitress, she made sure our drinks were always full and cleared off our table of the dishes right away, even though they were busy.

We have been many times but the last several times my family sits and waits over 40 minutes at lunchtime for chicken. The same 3 breasts were handled by everyone and no one took them. The staff continued to say 10 minutes more but we paid $60 for vegetables!!!!!! Don’t know if we will go again. Thus always happens. It’s just a way for you to make more money and not cook chicken!!!
