“Your basic north and south carolina Steak House/Buffet, I didn’t try a steak. The buffet is pretty darn extensive and surprisingly good I thought.
8 or so variously prepared types of meat and seafood, at least a dozen sides of all sorts: every kind of southern standard food I could name and 3 things I could not tell by appearance. One even remained a mystery after tasting it. I thought the Lima beans and greens were seasoned nicely. Assortment of breads and rolls, corn bread of course but it was over by the desserts and I don’t believe in sweet corn bread so I didn’t try it. Soups but I didn’t get over to them, regular salad bar, fruit, about 10 dessert choices. Everything looked fresh and replenished frequently. There are no plates or trays when you come in but there is silverware, although come to think of it that was probably for folks ordering from the steakhouse/roasted meats menu which was posted up over the cashier area. I think everyday has a different steakhouse special (beef tips over brown gravy and rice on my day maybe? And as a lapsed vegetarian, I don’t know what “tips” are in this context…) after ordering a beverage (remember all ice tea is sweet ice tea) and paying for the drink and buffet at the cashier as you enter (no option to tip at that juncture), you move left toward the buffet room. You pick a spot on longish, potentially communal tables (booths along the walls) plop down your receipt and a waitress comes over with 6 plastic, old fashioned dinner plates. By old fashioned I mean like from the 60’s/70’s before everything got supersized. Are you cut off after that 6th plate? I would think and hope so and I was full by plate 5 and I filled each plate pretty good.
The ambience is…just watching other people eat and enjoy food. Older folks, half black, half white, didn’t see any Hispanic or Asian, only a few kids and the rare baby, lots of greetings of people recognizing one another. It’s not exactly an Army Chow Hall effect but it’s a bit in that direction; a little loud, a little austere. Nobody comes for the atmosphere. It’s the plentiful variety of good food at a decent price. I went on a Tuesday afternoon I think and they automatically gave me a senior early bird discount (I’m under 65) I paid $14.74 and left 4 dollar bills by my last plate and I would guess cash tipping was sporadic; it is a lot of fixed income folks at a buffet after all, but the waitress’s are constantly clearing your used plates, refilling your drinks and carrying stuff out of the kitchen, wiping down tables and booths, helping oldsters, being cheerful, etc. Give them a couple bucks at least, come on people.
I live about 45min away and I was in town just for an appointment but I think I’ll go back every couple months for the nice drive and the quite good buffet. Cheers.“

“We had an amazing dinner tonight and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch—our server was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made great recommendations without being pushover. The team kept everything running smoothly, refilling drinks promptly and checking in just the right amount.
The steaks were absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked to order, juicy, flavorful, and clearly high-quality cuts. Sides were solid too . But that salad bar was fresh, well-stocked with a huge variety of crisp greens, toppings, dressings, and extras that made it feel like a meal on its own.
If you’re craving a classic steakhouse meal with exceptional service and a generous salad bar, this place is a winner. We’ll definitely be back—highly recommend!“
