The kind lady bussing tables was outstanding, and efficient. The place is well lighted and kept clean especially for the size.

The turkey is always done to perfection, the ham yummy and plenty of sides and desserts. The salad bar was completely vacant, however...this was somewhat disheartening, considering how supposedly "health minded" American adults are these days. That was our first stop of the day. Cabbage slaw, carrot salad, macaroni salad, olives, huge delicious slices of beautiful tomatoes, gorgeous slices of cucumbers, nicely green lettuce, several types of peppers and ham. Cheese, salad dressing of every kind...best stop so far! Smoked pork, ribs, fried fish, yeast rolls, sliced roast beef, ham, turkey slices, meatloaf, fried chicken, baked chicken, green bean casserole, mac & cheese, cornbread dressing, turkey gravy, mashed potatoes, lima beans, black eyed peas, creamed corn, greens, rice, fried okra... Pumpkin pie, pecan pie, lemon meringue, peach cobbler, soft serve ice cream, chocolate cream pie, cookies, brownies...oh, I'm exhausted just from trying to list everything! There was so so so much more than what I even listed here, plus the absolute best waitress and Arnold Palmer maker! Why cook at home, burden yourself, spend HOURS cleaning up afterwards and hours more packing everything away? Take yourself and your loved ones out to Ole Times Country Buffet just one time for the holidays and you'll never go back to cooking again! (I sure haven't)

You name it, it was on this country buffet There was also a salad bar and a dessert area. If your coming for atmosphere head on past this strip mall country buffet, but if your coming for some delicious food this is the place. Now I did ask about the all over the place reviews and the waitress said they had been working out some kinks and it all good now. Our waitress was awesome and you don't pay extra for all the mismatched chairs. It's a place to definitely get your eat on.

When I went, it had two types of fried chicken, meatloaf, and a number of sides. Everything was REALLY good. I'm not a big fried chicken connoisseur. But, if I'm having it, this would be a contender for top recipe. If you are on a road trip or find yourself in Lake City, this unassuming little spot is worth a try. My family enjoyed the food and still comments about what a find this is. Overall: Highly recommended.

You walk in pay for your buffet , and sit where you like . Real casual dining experience. The only negative thing i experienced was the dessertb, they were out of both cobblers for a little bit , didnt want to wait l,so tried a piece of each of the cakes they had in bowls. Chocolate Cake wasn't bad, butbwhat i believe to pineapple cake or something was very dry no flavor. I dont go to buffets for the deserts, so..the chicken an the rest of the food made up for the issue. A closer to home buffet , they did have a sign up for all you can eat crab legs on Sat 3-7pm.

Three of us came here for an early dinner and were seated promptly…read more This was a small buffet dinner and had a salad bar, meats and veggies to choose from. The desserts were on a table in the back and were pre cut so I imagine they were dried out. I found an empty pan where there was supposed to have been a hot cobbler but it was not filled while we were there. The waitress was friendly and attentive. When I went up the first time there was no shrimp and I was very disappointed. I tried the fried chicken but it wasn't that good. The veggies I tried were good. Some were fresh and some were not. The second time I went up there was shrimp so I felt a lot better about the dinner. The shrimp were done well and the sauce I found was good. The atmosphere is homey/country and nothing fancy. I only saw tables but there was another room that I didn't go in so it might have had some other kind of seating. It's as expensive as the larger buffet's , even with a senior discount, which was a surprise. Tea is an extra charge, so I can't comment on that. I would give it another try if in the area again.

My first encounter with her was when I asked for a refill of my iced water which had very little left on my glass but this server said; "there's still water!" I said yes I see that but there's very little left. She then proceeded to get the water with an attitude staring at me with a raised eyebrow the whole time until she got my water which was really irritating and uncomfortable. Then came our latest encounter with her was Sunday August 16, 2026 at dinner time and she was our server again. Everything was going well until she started refilling our drinks again. She suddenly approached us holding a glass of sweet tea instead of getting the pitcher, she refilled my drink first and spilled a lot of it on the table we were like "whoah!! Careful!", she just proceeded pouring what's left on that glass of sweet tea she was holding, God knows where it actually came from. She did not bother cleaning and wiping her mess on our table and did not bother to apologize. We were all pissed off with this kind of immature and childish behaviour. She was so nice to the table next to us but to us she was plainly rude. When it was time to pay, my friends wanted to give her a $5 tip. I told them No! Give her $2, that's what she deserves. I am very generous in giving tip only for those servers and staffs who are nice and happy to provide their service to us! When she came to our table and saw the $2, she said; Oh my God! Just $2??!! The audacity, for you to expect a good tip whilst being rude to us! Hell you don't deserve any tip in my opinion. Please know that tip is not mandatory and you don't expect to give us a shitty service and expect a good tip. My tip for you girl; "if you don't like your job being a server, please just quit and look for another job where you don't interact with people.

Was not a disappointment and need to pace myself next time. I was not prepared for the choices and quality so now I'm on the couch thinking about restraint and my lack of will power! All kidding aside, if you want really good southern food served in a buffet setting (which I generally don't care for) then this is the place! I'm now a regular so just save us a 2 seat by the window please. ***Great food and great service at a good price. Outstanding value.

They cook food fresh and it doesn't sit long because the place is always packed. They had fried and BBQ chicken, pork cops and shrimp along with a ton of vegatables and sides, all freshly cooked. There is nothing fancy about this place, just a plain decor with more great food than most people are able to even sample in 1 sitting. At 16 dollars per person, including a drink, it is a bargain of a buffet price as well.

This is one of three primary local restaurants and you will learn quickly where the cowboys, hunters, loggers, fishermen and other regulars sit to talk.
