    a variety of food items

    Surly, argumentative & rude employees. Buffet was half empty? Ask why and the response was. Wa yu wan??? It wasn't even 9:00pm and they wouldn't restock the buffet and were mopping the floors. We were told " Wi close 9:30"! The front door clearly says 10:00pm

    The most disgusting Chinese buffet I have ever been to. I do not have high standards for this type of place, but some places can be decent or surprisingly better at the same price. This place is horrible. The food is old cheap and tastes disgusting. It appears to be popular with obese African Americans who seem to just down the fried chicken wings, lo mein, and fake ice cream. Anyone else who eats here must not have taste buds or be so concerned with shoveling large amounts of food into their stomach that they just don't care. To add insult to injury the waitress was rude and demanded I add a tip to the credit card bill literally moments after being given the receipt. I strongly urge anyone with a sense of self respect to avoid this place.

    The place is absolutely filthy! From wall-to-wall, floor to ceiling. The bathrooms are even worse!

    All you can eat lunch buffet for $6.99. Totally worth the money. Not much variety in the number of the dishes but the food was okay.

    This was a hidden gem for sure!! It's an eclectic looking building with a random variety of items…read moreto purchase, local I would guess, which was already cool. The building is a combination of other buildings that you just want to explore, but on the inside, most are open for dining. And I would imagine in peak season, they need the space! The buffet was delicious, affordable, with beverages included in the price! Service was great, too! They make up your plate for you, fill your drinks, and even bus your table. Conveniently located right outside of Santee State Park or near the Santee National Golf Course, it's an easy trip to make no matter why you are in town!! The buffet is Southern Comfort foods at their best, BBQ, collards, fried fish, veggies, etc and it gets an additional items for dinner. Check it out if you're in the area!!

    We were driving south on 95 and wanted to find a place to sit down for lunch but not take too long…read more This place fits the bill perfectly. It is only about 2.5 miles off I-95 at the entrance to the state park. We got to the road with no problem but passed it and had to turn around. It is tucked off the side of the road. As other reviewers mentioned, it is a buffet (no other option). You are separated from the food by a plexiglass shield, and you just point to what you want. Yes, the fried chicken was fabulous, and the pulled pork was good, too. Since I hadn't ever had tomato pie, I can't compare it to others, but it was good. All home cooked food... If you are on a diet, you might want to skip it. The only sugar-free drink offering was unsweet tea as the diet pepsi was out. I opted for 1/2 sweet and 1/2 unsweet. They fill your drinks for you and check on you in the dining area. Banana pudding for dessert? Yes, please!

    My schedule gets real hectic sometimes, but I still have to eat. I didn't want fast food this…read moreparticular day so I went here to get dinner to go. I had not been here in a long time. I think the price is very reasonable for what you can get. There was a variety of options to choose from. I did have a not so great encounter with a cashier, but the manager on duty addressed it immediately. All, I'm going to say is...be sure to check your receipt after your purchase. I would go again.

    I go here every 6 months with family. The fish next to the shrimp was awesome. The strawberries…read morewere frozen and thawed out so they had a glaze on them and the macaroni was better than Bob Evans. Lots of desserts and the pot roast was a bit dry but the butterfly shrimp made up for it However my experience was terrible thanks to the tall skinny white guy who was cooking the steaks. I stood in line to get a steak and told him medium rare. He put a burnt piece of steak on my plate and walked away to put new steaks on the grill. I sat down upset and found out a family member was giving a medium steak that he refused to eat so I traded with him. Before leaving I wanted to discuss my experience with the steak guy so he wouldn't mess up other people food. He denied the whole thing and told me that never happened. I asked one of the waitress for his name but she didn't know. I left giving him the middle finger. From now on -- place a number by each steak photo. 1 for rare and 5 for burnt ( well done). We can give the cook our fingers instead of talking through a sneeze guard in case the cook is too busy to pay attention to what we said. Don't fire the idiot but do as I advise. I went there 7pm 5/4/26 anniversary (star wars day)
