“We stopped there to have dinner on our return trip to TN from FL. This was our second visit and I was surprised that we were the only overnight RV travelers. Food was tasty and the service was great, too. Clearly marked signs for RV parking is a huge bonus!“
“My biggest complaint with this place is they don't have any real dishes and they don't have any real silverware. I just do not like to eat with a plastic fork on pieces of paper. So I probably will only go rarely. I think if I gotta take out it would be cold and unpleasant when I got to my destination. The menu has attractive options and they have first class employees perhaps the best I've seen in Lexington at similar restaurants.“
“Carolina Buffet is a country cooking paradise where everyone can enjoy a great meal. As soon as you walk in, you'll be met with friendly faces and the delicious smell of home-cooked food. The buffet is truly amazing, with a wide range of classic Southern comfort foods as well as tasty dishes from around the world. There is food for everyone, whether you want fried chicken, BBQ ribs, or fresh fish. The food is always hot, fresh, and given with a smile. It's a great place to get together with family and friends because it's cozy and the staff is helpful. Carolina Buffet is the place to go for a hearty meal that makes you feel like you're at home.“
“This was a dinner date and the service and food were spot-on! The server was very observant and left us alone unless she saw a need! She made great suggestions for wine pairings. The food, the wine, and the atmosphere made for a great evening and date.“
“The lady you have working the drive thru window 4/21 around 10 am is always SO PLEASANT everytime I come. It’s hard to not smile when she talks to you even just to ask your order. She shows up to work everyday I come by with a smile and eager to serve customers. Wanted to make sure her bosses saw that it doesn’t go unnoticed“
“Wowza! This place served up a grilled chicken sandwich that rocked my taste buds like a concert! Paired it with a diet coke because, you know, gotta watch that figure while indulging in deliciousness. The sandwich was so juicy, it had me questioning if chickens secretly moonlight as magicians. And the coke? Well, it fizzed and danced like it was auditioning for a soda commercial.But seriously, folks, this joint knows how to do food right. The ambiance was cozy, the staff was as friendly as a litter of golden retriever puppies, and the whole experience left me grinning like a Cheshire cat.In conclusion, if I could, I'd eat here every single day without hesitation. Do yourself a flavor and swing by for a grilled chicken sandwich extravaganza! Five stars !!!“
“It must be really nice because of the many people I saw going in,however I was actually next door at JD Fashion purchasing a few things.But I made a mental note to self...go check out Southern Seafood next time you're in the area ? cause it seems to be popular.“
“I always wish I could give 1/2 stars because some things are not worth the full star, but this will do. My husband and I enjoyed our experience. It was our first time eating here. It is a bit pricey so if you're on a budget I don't recommend going or only go for special occasions. We enjoyed our drinks and the cheese board. My husband got quail and waffles, which he loved. I got the bbq plate with ribs. I liked the bbq, but the ribs are smoked, and that's not my thing. Also, the mustard bbq sauce they put on it is a bit spicy, and I'm not one to eat a lot of spicy stuff. I am gluten-free, and I had contracted them beforehand about their options, which they have. I told the waiter I was gluten-free, and that is an allergy, but I was still served 2 rolls on my plate. I just removed the rolls and didn't make a big deal about it, but the waiter didn't even recognize the error when he came and checked on us. We also had the strawberry ice cream for dessert. You are quite packed into the place, so people sit very close to you, making for a not so intimate atmosphere. We overall enjoyed our experience and will probably go back in the future.“
“I stop here for breakfast several times a week some weeks and this is the easily the most consistent restaurant around! Always on point- fast, friendly, CLEAN and they never mess up your order. The line could be wrapped around the building, and you'd still be out of there in under 5 minutes.“
“Although the music was jazz, it was way too loud specially for people that wear hearing aids. The food was very good. It was nice to see prime rib on the menu and would love to see that again on Mother's Day, which we have already booked! Thank you to all of your people that work on this day, it makes Easter nice for us“
“5 stars, because the food is *chefs kiss” I picked up my to-go order during a lunch rush and when I got home I realized it was not what I had ordered. I called once I realized the mistake and Crystal (manager) was so polite and even asked ME how I wanted it to be handled. I completely understand how hectic it gets and sometimes things get mixed up. No biggie, I was able to go back and get my correct order with Crystals help. She even gave me a cookie. So with that being said…. 5 STARS.“
“Tried this place for the first and it was okay. The service was great and I loved the old timey feel to that place. I got the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy and cabbage. The chicken had good flavor to it but was a bit dry but the mashed potatoes and gravy were delicious. The cabbage was cooked well but it turns out I don’t like it when it’s cooked with ham hock (not a mark against lizard thicket since it’s a personal preference and not anything they did wrong). I didn’t try the rolls there but the cornbread muffin was very dry and dense. It felt like I was chewing on the muffin for 5 minutes before I finally washed it down with my drink.“
“Debbie was AMAZING!! We had 3 to order the shrimp & grits and when we told her the tasso gravy was not to their liking, she quickly resolved the issue..KUDDOS to her!! She was personable & friendly. Thank You to the ladies that assisted her with our party. The food was GREAT! Steak, chicken breast, salmon & burger were ALL TOP NOTCH! Will be coming back. Must try ALL the desserts...Delicious“
“I worked here for many years and although I am not a fan of Mr. Robert Williams as he is mean to most of the staff, I am a fan of all the other Williams!! I do like the customers and I very much like the food! I must still give credit to the cleanliness of the restaurants and the quality of the food. The food is absolutely delicious! So I will not take away from that. My favorites are Flounder, macaroni and cheese, cabbage, collards, beef stew…. Oh! The salads are amazing with the fried chicken and egg! Omlets are good, don’t really like the bread anymore, that is probably because I ate it from the age of 16-30 haha. Nice friendly atmosphere from the customer perspective and good service! If you ever run into Mr. Matt Williams; He is one of the kindest people I ever met! John Williams too! They are wonderful people.I would suggest if you are looking for great service and food do go here… if you have the pleasure of being waited on by Gloria, Marilyn, April, or Genie…. You will truly get great service, and the food is always yummy!Cheers to Southern Food and a nice atmosphere to dine in, if you must get it to go, most locations have a drive through. Best Manager overall, “Dalton”.!Thanks for reading my review, and hope you decide to eat here, so that you know true Southern Food and Hospitality!Parking: Parking is A okay!Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly environment, not sure if they still provide the crayons and paper but I do believe so!Wheelchair accessibility: There is an easy way near the front door to have wheelchair access at each location.“

“I had an amazing experience with the crab legs – it felt like heaven! The Jamaican jerk butter was absolutely amazing – you have to try it! My daughter enjoyed the chicken tenders and fries, which were so delicious. Everything was seasoned to perfection! The service was fantastic, and everyone was super friendly and helpful. I can't remember the last time I finished all my food from a restaurant. Looking forward to returning for more delightful meals!“
“I’ve lived in the Columbia neighborhood of Earlewood for years and never knew about this gem!Staff are excellent, super friendly.The meatloaf is amazing, also enjoyed the greens, broccoli casserole, macaroni and cheese, too! 6 stars if I could!“
“My first experience here and I enjoyed the food and service immensely! My waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food was great! I'm definitely returning and would highly recommend to anyone wanting some country style cooking. Oh! Prices were pleasantly low key. Thanks!“
“Ribs had a nice, mildly sweet, smokey flavor . The ribs are not the most tender, they aren't smoked for long. Mash potatoes and gravy was tasty. Broccoli casserole is ok. They try way harder than most restaurants with the Mac and cheese. 3 sides, 4 bones of ribs, $15. And the plate is heavy! They're not stingy with portions. I will try their very affordable chicken baskets next time. Customer Service was good.“
“We were visiting Columbia and wanted to stop somewhere with some homemade burgers. We stopped here, and it was worth it. The people were friendly, the food was freshly made and the taste was amazing. The burgers were definitely homemade. Reminds me of a mom n pops spot back home.“
