A Southern Buffet Done Right!…read more If you're ever in Colquitt, GA, make it a point to stop by Moby Dick's! This place is the real deal when it comes to classic Southern comfort food served buffet-style. The catfish was perfectly seasoned and fried to golden crispiness--truly some of the best I've had. The carving station was a standout, offering freshly sliced meat that was both tender and flavorful. The vegetables were home-cooked and tasted just like grandma used to make--creamy mac and cheese, seasoned greens, and more. The dessert bar? Absolutely to die for. I had the peach cobbler and it was warm, gooey, and full of flavor--just the way it should be. The atmosphere was lively and a bit noisy, but that's just part of the charm. It's a very family-oriented spot with self-seating and pay-at-the-front service. Everyone was kind, helpful, and kept things moving smoothly. Highly recommend if you're craving Southern hospitality and a full belly. I'll definitely be back!

The seafood platter had fried oysters, shrimp, and scallops with amazing fresh taste and maintained a nice texture. On the other hand, the fish was a bit dry and bland, while the crab cake just didn't taste very good. The other problem I had with the platter was the price - it wasn't worth paying 40+ bucks for how much seafood we got (shown in pics). The Tuna and Shrimp salad tasted great! No complaints about the great dressing and well-cooked shrimp & tuna. TLDR: Great quality seafood, but on the pricier side. Fried Captain's Platter: 8/10 Tuna & Shrimp Salad: 8.5/10

I was travelling through Southern Georgia and it came up to lunchtime. I figured a nice lunch at a…read morecountry buffet on Easter Sunday would be a perfect match. Surely a country buffet would be able to put up an incredible spread on Easter Sunday! I was wrong. Let's get started here... walking in, there are signs talking about social distancing, but very few of the patrons were actually bothering to follow them. Getting to the front counter, I was simply expected to know exactly how things operated there, despite my attire (motorcycle jacket, etc.) showing that I was probably not from the area. Instead I was greeted with attitude, and expected to know exactly what drinks were being served. No clue, and no list to read from, so I had to ask what drinks they had. OK, got through that hurdle. Now onto the process. BJ's does have a reasonable method for handling a buffet during the current crisis, and it seems safe. Going down the line, I encountered some very different personalities. Most were good, but it did not help with my impression of this place that the first one I had to deal with was on the surly side. I got my first plate, and sat down at a table to eat. The wait staff I had for drinks was polite and handled things well, so no complaints there. Let's get to the food. The fried chicken was probably the best part of the meal, but that isn't saying much. It at least tasted like fried chicken, had a good crispiness, and there was flavor. The rest of the plate, not so much... mashed potatoes and gravy? Zero flavor. Had to add a lot of salt to get things going. Same went for the mac-and-cheese. I have never encountered mac-and-cheese where I had to add salt (and a touch of hot sauce) to get any enjoyment out of it. Seriously, I couldn't taste cheese or pasta in that dish! How do you do that? The side of stuffing I got was alright, but nothing spectacular. Even with this mess, I still went back for seconds for some reason. I appreciate that they have signs up asking that if you go for seconds that you eat everything on your plate, as there are folks out there going hungry, but I pity them immensely if they have to eat this kind of food. For the second plate I changed things around, hoping that maybe I just happened to pick the very worst items on the menu. Nope. It got worse. I got the baked chicken and a pork chop this time around, along with what I can only assume was banana pudding. The chicken was overcooked, and turned to mush in my mouth. Chicken should never be mushy like that. The pork chop was actually fine, except that there don't appear to be any knives in the restaurant to allow you to cut your food properly. All I got was a fork and spoon, and didn't see any knives anywhere. Finally, the dessert... as I said, I can only assume it was banana pudding, because it had the consistency of cheesecake. Heck, it could have been cheesecake, but with a banana flavor. Regardless, it was weird, and had the distinct feel of being pre-processed in a factory somewhere. My final note? I won't be returning to this restaurant.

You just have to know the procedure, but it wasn't only me, a Northerner whose brain hadn't yet fully recalibrated for the local accent. Locals were confused too. Procedure is this: tell them your drink preference (I had water), pick up a tray, put it on the counter, pick out a main, three sides, a dessert, slide it down to the register, pay, and take it to your table. At that point do you begin eating? No! Remove your items from the tray and they come by and pick it up. Now begin! You may be thinking "Soup Nazi" from Seinfeld but I assure you it didn't feel that way. Just the quirky way they run the place. The waitress did warm up after I was there a while, came over to ask where I was from, etc. And to try to convince me to come back for breakfast! This is cafeteria style, with everything prepared ahead of time and kept warm on steam trays. So how do they keep that fried chicken so crunchy and delicious? Perhaps the best I've ever had, the batter so crunchy you could probably hear me eating from another room, assertively peppery, the large leg and thigh pieces perfectly cooked and juicy. (White meat also available.) My sides were lima beans, turnip greens, and yams. The highlight was the yams: super sweet but not in a bad way, balanced by good seasonings. The beans were fine, a bit salty. The only disappointment were the turnip greens, too finely chopped and overcooked. The portion sizes were decent. Also included is corn bread. Two choices: baked or fried. Never heard of fried so I tried that. Interesting but a little chewy and not so much corn flavor; next time I'd get the baked. Finishing this rather large lunch was a challenge for me but I managed, while taking in the local ambience. I saved the dessert for later. Dessert? Yes. I was also asked on ordering what I wanted for dessert. The only one that appealed was the red velvet cake (the others were a cobbler and bread pudding) so I got that. I assumed it was included but when I paid I saw it was not. $4; no big deal. It didn't look that good, a thin 1 inch slice tightly shrink wrapped on a paper plate. Looks were deceiving. The first time I actually liked red velvet cake, a light crumbly texture and cream cheese frosting that tasted of more than sugar. With the amount of frosting this tiny slice was quite filling and I'm glad it wasn't larger. All this for a little over $21. I think this was including tip but I'm not positive. Either way, great deal!
