88 Oaks Carolina Kitchen and Bar

Even though this is one of very few breakfast buffets in the area, I was expecting breakfast buffets I’ve experienced pre-Covid with things like an omelet station, fresh pastries and desserts, other cooked to order foods, and beverages like Bloody Mary’s or Bellinis. I didn’t expect this to be restaurant to be part of the hotel lobby. The buffet essentially is a glorified continental breakfast at any hotel, plus the opportunity to also get a 3 ingredient omelet that’s cooked in the kitchen. No fresh pastries or desserts (just prepackaged danishes and small muffins). No omelet station. No bar. The buffet bar consisted of powdered eggs, stale French Toast, fresh cut fruits like pineapple and melon, small yogurt cups, cereal bins, Saran-wrapped bagels, oatmeal and grits, seasoned potatoes, bacon strips, and sausage links. Didn’t think it was worth the $21 price.

Very pricey if you're not staying in the hotel, but an awesome restaurant indeed... and the servers are wonderful. Food is grade A!!!

Great black and blue burger.

Such a treat to have a great restaurant and bar inside the hotel. Love room service! Bartender was so nice. All the staff here is so nice.

Pleasantly shocked with the elegant flavors and presentation of both the seafood and bone in steak entrees. Very creative potato dishes, as well as salad additions. The attention given by our server, Anton, was outstanding.

The breakfast buffet is above average to excellent. Definitely pricey. The atmosphere is pleasant and the wait staff are friendly and helpful. I would prefer Waffle House but this was convenient good food with limited timeline.

I had room service so I can't speak on the atmosphere but the food was amazing. I would 100%eat here againEdit: I gabe them a card instead of charging to my room and they charged me twice. Once to my room and once on my card. It took me days to get someone to listen and, get it taken care of.

This restaurant is located inside the actual lobby area of the Hilton. Bar drinks were very generous, and the food was ok but a little overpriced. Muddle was great, burger was ok, and penne pasta was just ok.Not bad as long as you are ok with eating inside a giant hotel lobby

Parking: Shares parking with a very busy hotel

I travel a lot and frequent many hotel restaurants to have breakfast and I was surprised by the terrible place and service.

Outstanding customer service. Excellent food and customer service. I was there this past weekend for Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc Southeastern Regional Meeting. I'm a Hilton Honors member. Excellent service from start to finish. I had the breakfast buffet and was impressed. The hostess had a warm and welcoming presentation.She mad myself along with my wife at home.
