Finn Oliver's Family Restaurant

The food is great, if you are looking for homemade food, this is the place. It's buffet all the way

“This was our first time at the lunch buffet and it was absolutely delicious. I went with my wife and baby, and we had an amazing time together. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and we definitely plan to come back. Highly recommended!”

On Monday August 4, 2025 I took my daughter for lunch. When you first walk in you feel like it may be a good southern Mom & Pop buffet experience. When we got to our table the waitress came over, asked what we were drinking, we said 1 coke and 1 water, she said do u want lemon? I said no thank u, and she asked if we had been there before. We responded, no it was our 1st time there. She quickly explained a little bit about what to expect from each bar. We got our plate, went back to table and we had 2 sweet teas with lemon. Not what we ordered but we like tea so we just kept them. The food looked pretty good at first. But as we started eating the food tasted old and nasty. The fried chicken seemed like they had cooked it 2 days prior, then recooked it 2 more times. It was so dry. Then my daughter says “ have u tried the fried fish because it tastes bad, like idk what that taste is” another customer from a different table heard her and he said “PINESOL…. It tastes like PINESOL and soap and cleaner. He also said he told his daughter that if he died it was from that fish. Cabbage and greens were vinegary and kinda tasted like cleaning products & dirt. Meatloaf wasn’t horrible but seemed old. The stew meat was tender but had zero flavor and zero gravy. Rice&gravy was the most decent thing and the tea was ok. The Mac n cheese wasn’t the absolute worst I’ve ever had. Like u can eat it. But it wasn’t good. A fly was in potato salad. Bbq was decent. Green beans decent but no flavor. I could not eat much of it because it was not good overall. I did not go back for 2nds or to try anything different. The banana and Oreo puddings even seemed old. Seen what looked like a bug leg in pudding but could’ve been from bananas but I didn’t see actual bananas in it, so idk….both were Not completely terrible but not good. Cake was dry. Waitress had came back to ask if we wanted refills, I said yes and asked her to switch my daughter’s tea out for the coke she originally ordered. She never brought refills or coke. I don’t see a return visit here in the future. Overall not a good experience.

Traveling from SC back home to VA. While on 95 googled restaurants near me. Finn Oliver popped up. Glad it didn't. Buffet only, food was a 10. Country settings, friendly atmosphere and our waitress was great. Highly recommend.

Decent place to eat country food. Nothing spectacular but it's a good little meal. Sometimes heavily seasoned but food is normally good and hot.

Beautiful fresh fruit and salad. Great country style buffet, all delicious.

Usually a takeout plate is 8.00 to 9.00. They raised the prices. Same food has before, now it's 24.59. This is too much for a small takeout plate.

Taste delicious, the ice cream machine was out of order. 😢 I wanted some. Next time I visit I have high hopes it will be working and then I will change my review to a 5 Star ⭐.
