As with the AP location, the chicken...fried or baked...is the real winner. Awesome chicken. Of the sides, so close to home cooking. The only thing I didn't care for was the enchiladas. The carne guisada didn't really make me want seconds either. We had an attendant who was pregnant (didn't catch her name) and she was great. Never let our drinks bottom out and didn't let empty plates (there were only a couple) stay on the table long. There were some rude people in our area and she dealt with them pleasantly. There's no secret why Butter Churn has been around so long. It's really good home-style comfort food at a very reasonable price. Just ask to not be set next to the buffet section. People can really pile up plates there and it's sad to witness. read more

Butter Churn Restaurant - Buffet station. Sitting too close to this can be off-putting as you witness the gluttony of most people. - American Near Me - Sinton, Texas

Thirty years and still churning--I think that's their motto. Rotary meets here weekly and that's a good sign. Don't stop here unless you plan to eat abundantly. It's not intended for a light meal. Here you get to choose from about a half dozen meat or fish dishes, more than that of vegetables, a well-stocked salad bar, and a variety of desserts. None of them are likely to be the best you ever had, but they are all pretty good. And it's all you can eat! The place has a clean, organized, well-kept look. read more

Butter Churn Restaurant - Janie. She is amazing. - American Near Me - Sinton, Texas

Good comfort food for when cooking is not an option. Buffet areas are separated into 4 sections (salad, entrees and sides, entrees and sides, desserts and breads). Gloves and masks were required to go to the buffet line (gloves were provided). All the foods were the appropriate temperatures. Some of the fried options were a little overcooked, specifically the shrimp. Many of the sides tasted homemade rather than already prepared, specifically mashed potatoes. We didn't eat any dessert but they had a couple of different cobblers. Service was very accommodating and took care of any needs we had, before we had them. Prices were as expected ($15 pp). read more

Everything is Excellent ! Staff , Food and prices too ! Wonderful place to eat with family and friends!

3 for service. The waitress was super sweet to my daughter & us. 1 for the food. The food was no good. At all. The fried chicken wings still had feathers on them. The other chicken was dry as heck. The fish had zero flavor. The salad bar was ok. Spanish rice had literally zero flavor. The only thing I would've gotten seconds of was mashed potatoes. I have no idea why the reviews are so high. My daughter enjoyed the ice cream & her salad but she didn't eat much of anything else. The bathrooms were bad & had a horrible stench that made eating not very appetizing once we got back to our table. read more

Good food! Great salad bar! Overall good experience. Something for everyone. Prices were very reasonable.

Great lunch! I was really hungry and this place hit the spot. A couple of spots actually.the food was great, the staff was very friendly and I'll be back again the next time I'm passing through Sinton read more

Food was good. Waitress was good. Cashier when we went to pay was extremely rude!We had driven 50 miles to meet my sister for her birthday and since it wasn't "day of" she said they couldn't give it to us, even though it was just "day after" Then, she even "overcharged" me to add insult to injury! Cashier could've explained it to us nicely, instead of being So Rude! We will not go back there! read more

There for Thanksgiving Lunch, excellent meal!! They had ALL the traditional ingredients and more!! The waitress Elly was just superb, friendly, attentive, and "on the spot" with drinks. Never a dirty dish on the table, or a used napkin!! This place is a winner, even not on Thanksgiving day..been going here over 20 years. read more

This food was not worth $14.99. I really wanted a warm roll, however they were cold the entire time. I went back a couple of times but each time I got a cold roll and the waitress never went by so I could ask for warm ones. The food was either bland or too salty. There aren't very many options for the price. It was $65 for three adults and one child... who didn't like anything except the ice cream. She kept saying Golden Corral is way better. I don't even know if we had a waitress. The only time we were addressed was when we were asked what we want to drink and if we were finished with plates. read more

Omg this place is amazing definitely make a trip here very good food there was nothing that I tasted that I did not like it was wonderful the desserts or to die for the people oh wonderful and it is a big Buffet and salad bar highly recommend read more

Good variety and selection of foods. Excellent service. Clean environment and quiet atmosphere. Friendly people. Price is right for the buffet. read more

Buffet. $8 lunch, $11 dinner and the buffet changes regularly. Not restaurant food! It's fresh farm stuff; NOT typical prepackaged, made to corporate specs, bland chain food ala Golden Corral. If you'd rather go exclusively to KFC than to fry your own chicken once in a while, that might not be a big deal to you; but it is to me! We ate dinner, then lunch the next day and found the following (partial list): Country style Soup, Salad, and Cold Sides Bar: Soup of the day, all the typical salad fixin's including fresh spinach (no bleu cheese dressing), cottage cheese, peaches, watermelon, various pickles - including okra, different jello salads, variety of puddings. Several kinds of meat: (didn't try them all) Hunks of smoked brisket, fried catfish, fried chicken breast strips, sauteed pounded chicken, pork chops, roast beef, pulled pork. tex-mex tamales (ground beef, no husks, in a pan of light sauce and cheese). Those were good, just different. There were two kinds of pinto beans, broad beans and bacon, green beans, peas, corn, carrots, mashed taters and gravy, Brussels sprouts in butter, stewed vine-ripe tomatoes(!), sauteed zucchini and yellow squash, spinach, sauteed mushrooms, fried cabbage, hot rolls, cornbread (no sugar, so don't be scared to cover it w/ beans!) white rice and very meaty egg rolls - which were excellent, I had two. Peach cobbler, pear cobbler (I think) and the best pecan pie I have ever eaten in my 48 years. It has kind of spoiled my hopes of future pecan pies, but I will try dark Karo syrup and Mexican vanilla and maybe that will help improve my recipe. Also: home made soft serve ice cream, w/ a choice of crushed Oreos or pecans and chocolate syrup. Waffle and regular cones or enjoy it by the cup. Wow. It was so good. Service is cheerfully efficient and all the staff were very proud to be working there. They ostentatiously appreciated how much we ostentatiously appreciated their fine food. I will always remember this wonderful restaurant. read more

For the cost of an unlimited buffet meal, this place can't be beat. We went on a vacation outing and stopped for lunch only to find a high salad bar and several choices of meats and vegetables all for $10 an adult. Food was fresh and very good. Nothing fancy just good home cooking. And the deserts were just an added extra read more

This place is a gem in the city of Sinton. Had to work across the street from it and I am SO happy I did. Delicious food, no wait (as long as they have tables) and overall amazing atmosphere. If I'm ever in the area I'll be back plenty more times. Also, great prices for the quality of food and quality of service. Overall amazing! read more

Great small town stop. Lots of good ol people. Definitely has to be a local favorite. Inexpensive, friendly and delicious.

One of our favorite restaurants to visit when we are in Port A. The one in Portland was packed and no room to park our truck and boat so we decided to head on home. We go thru Sinton and then I remembered there was a Butter Churn restaurant there!! We were super excited. We get there and find sparking spot across the street. We were seated right away! And as usual the food was phenomenal!!!!! We had turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potatoes and all kinds of veggies. The dessert was awesome too!!! We highly recommend this place!! We have been there several times and are never disappointed!!! Love it! read more

Never again. Drove over 50 miles to claim my free birthday meal and was refused due to being one day early. In years past I was always allowed a three day window before or after the date. Also being from out of town they had allowed the flexibility. The waitress herself had mentioned the 3 day window. Well, I used to be a regular there, at least once monthly will be no more. The food was ok, better on Sunday. Don't go on a Saturday. The selection is very limited. Reckon I'll be going to Golden Corral in the future. Bye Bye Butter Churn. read more

This buffet doesn't disappoint. I could eat a whole plate of sides. The salad bar is always fresh and the dessert bar is sooo good. The service is always good no matter how busy they are. Definitely get your moneys worth. read more

I think that if you're going to have a modified buffet then you need to modify the price. The entire salad bar went from huge to a small little cart with just a few items, and the main buffet had just a few dinner options. It was not worth $13.99/each... read more

Good food. Home cooking. Chicken was fantastic. Veggies fresh and hot If you're in Sinton it worth a stop. And don't forget the ice cream read more

A wonderful Sunday buffet! The food was excellent, home style cooking. We will definitely come back!

Very good, home cooked buffet, at Whataburger prices. Not much to look at from the outside, but the service & the food was fantastic for the price. Drinks a little pricey, but crushed ice & styrofoam cups were a nice touch. Only concern: one restroom/toilet... at least only one that I saw. read more
