    Green beans

    Service was good and food was good except for the lo mein, we were one of the first customers to enter and that lo mein reeked awfully, my baby threw up 3x. Green beans were also going bad, literally had brown on the ends. Floor was super slippery, anyone could slip.

    Fried crab and salt & pepper shrimp

    Love the fried crabs!!! Wait staff are excellent! Big buffet! This is the second time I've been here. I love this place!

    a plate of food on a table
    Ayanna W.

    Pros: lots of food options, including expansive seafood options, delicious food overall.. it's hard to beat the number of options and for price, lots of space I. Restaurant and it was not crowded at 7pm on a Thursday Cons: service (front of house and at the buffet) was far below par, dessert table left a lot to be desired (even the desserts freezer featuring popsicles and ice cream sandwiches seemed to have all second tier flavors and some ice cream was freezer burned), limited greens available for salad bar

    Very good food at a decent price with good service. There are lots of options and lots of seating.

    Hibachi Grill setup

    Took my boys here since it had been years since we stopped by a buffet (COVID kind of put a stop to those) and we showed up with out appetites. The place seemed packed but we got seated immediately and we're attended to promptly by our very nice waitress who kept our drinks full the whole time. The food variety was great, I got small portions of each item so I could see what I really wanted to feast on and I got full after 2 plates with still food left I wanted to try. I had to stop at 2 plates to leave room for dessert since I always get full by the time I even look at the dessert bar. For the most part the food was great, but a good portion lacked flavor despite the appearance of looking amazing. Regardless, there is plenty of food for any type of food you are craving and I didn't even touch the hibachi bar which is a nice addition for the price of admission. With the holiday season coming up, if you don't want to eat at the crowded mall food court this is a great option to please all your picky eaters in a nice sit down environment with waiter be service. Plenty of parking outside and space on the inside for any party size.

    This is my mom's favorite buffet place and this is our first time coming since COVID. I've eaten here several times and never had a bad experience. There are plenty of options and even a hibachi grill if you want. They place gloves all around so you aren't handling the shared utensils and you mask up while getting your food. We kept our server busy clearing plates(5 of us) and we never ran out of drinks. Our lunch for 5 was $50 and some change. I highly recommend this place.

    Pros: Lots of options. The rangoons were perfect - packed full and fried awesome, love the way they were folded as well. The food was pretty similar to most buffets like this. Sushi bar was impressive, couldn't speak on taste since I dont eat it. Dumplings, mei fun noodles, seafood delight and plain rains were also super yummy. My daughter loved the ice cream box! Cons: the egg rolls were pretty bland and had a lot more wrap than filling. Slightly disappointed to not find spring rolls as an option. The lo mein noodles were more like spaghetti noodles and my husband was pretty let down about that since their usually his favorite at a Chinese buffet.

    Vegetables egg roll cabbage only. Gross.

    This experience was not great I left out hungry n had to go get some food.. sad all the food was cooked way to long...n it was 12.99 lunch special. No good.

    Food was delicious!!! I will be back!!!
    Shenell J.

    The food that I chose was great except for the fried peeled shrimp. Staff was friendly.

    I like that they have a policy to wear mask and use gloves when feeding at the human troughs!

    Ambience. B Service. A Food. A Price. A Found in strip mall across from augusta mall! Lots of parking. It's a buffet people!!! They do a good job with so many options. Clean dining room. Checking in with hostess there are signs everywhere being safe during Covid19 and the variants. Hand sanitizer, gloves and masks are stipulated when not sitting at table. I like that they are very conscious and concerned about Covid19 and also want to stay open for clientele. Checking in with hostess , you just need to give number in the party and also preorder your drinks before showing to your table. I think that's very efficient s c one less hassle for server and quicker getting drinks while you can go ahead and start at the multiple Buffett sections. Today was a holiday Labor Day. And they made dinner options fir ALL day. So, buffet cost was $13.99 and drink was $1.99. Total with tax. $17.26. I like that they always have crawfish (hot and cold) salt and pepper crab (my mom would have been in crab heaven!) and lots of fish options. I don't care how finicky a eater you are or someone on your party. There is something for everyone. Even fried chicken and pizza. Lots of dessert and ice cream options. I'm a fan!!!

    Andrews Restaurant - Grilled Rib Eye Pork chop with Broccollini and mashed

    This restaurant is inside the Doubletree Hotel, so this review is for my room service order:…read moreApr2023. After a delayed flight, I just wanted dinner in my suite and ordered the Grilled Rib Eye Pork chop with Broccollini and mashed. I was amazed at how delicious this dinner was! It came quickly (within about 20 minutes) and was delivered by one of the very friendly front desk clerks. The chop was cooked perfectly and was delicious, juicy, and tender. I loved the broccollini as it still had snap but was not undercooked, just enough that you tasted the fresh flavors. The garlicky mashed were REAL potatoes with a good amount of butter...excellent! I really enjoyed my meal, and it set me in a better mood after hitting 5 cities so far this week (and it's only Thursday!). Loss of 1 star as they had no rolls or bread to go with it, and that should be a standard.

Compared to other buffets, they didn't have much of a selection. They had the usual fruit and salad, but as far as meat offerings, they had fried shrimp, fried flounder, chicken wings, and prime rib (it was cold). The side offerings were rice, red potatoes, and mixed vegetables. Some of the seafood offerings were served on ice and there was clams, shrimp, and crab legs. I didn't get a chance to try the many desserts. They also had a pasta station. The pasta was the best part of the meal. The chef cooks it in front of you and you have a choice of chicken or something that looks like imitation crab. The live music was ok. The wait staff was attentive to our needs. The buffet is pretty pricey. Do i think it was worth the $30/40? NOT AT ALL.

First things first... the hostess Lyne set the tone immediately. Personable, funny, and quick-witted. She picked up on my husband's "I like to cause a little trouble just because I can" energy within seconds. Without missing a beat she said, "Listen... we're going to put him in time out right there." Another guest nearby started chuckling and I knew right then we were in good hands. Our waitress Kim was just as amazing. Attentive without hovering, friendly, and she kept checking on us to make sure we were good and boxed up once we tapped out. Now let's talk about the food... whew chile. I ordered the Lady Killer and let me tell you... it absolutely understood the assignment. Whatever magic was happening in that kitchen... keep doing it. The salad was huge. I only made it a few bites before I had to surrender. The rest went upstairs with me because wasting food is not in my ministry. And the cocktail... round of applause... smooth, balanced, and pretty enough to make you pause before the first sip. All in all... great energy, great service, and food that delivered. The manager walked around inquiring about the service given. Someone mentioned they weren't happy about their food and she appeared genuinely concerned as she further asked questions and how to take care of the matter. I was impressed. For me it's the small things like this that'll guarantee me being repeat... Separate review for the hotel itself coming up!...

But South Carolina has the best BBQ of all the southern states when you can find the right stuff. BBQ Barn is the right stuff. They've got pulled pork with quality sauces, hash similar to what I make myself (therefore excellent), delicious southern sides, sweet (and unsweet) tea, various other meats (their burnt ends are yum!) and some desserts that look great but I haven't tried yet. They also aren't a buffet style restaurant which is a great thing in my opinion. They have a good amount of seating but I don't think they'll fit lots of large groups so keep that in mind. They do have a drive thru and you can order food to go. Unfortunately, they are also like other good BBQ places in their limited hours; they are only open Wednesday-Saturday each week so they can't be Sunday dinner or Monday emergency dinner unless you plan well ahead. The staff are nice and the restaurant is always clean enough. When we aren't making our own barbecue, we are probably getting barbecue from BBQ Barn (or the only other good bbq spot in the CSRA).

My first two visits were only 24 hours apart because it was so good. This time I experienced the same delicious food and quick service. I am impressed by the quality of the food (so fresh) and how kind everyone is here. I like to ask what they recommend, because the desserts change and the cashier was sweet and indulged my questions. I also can't speak highly enough if the sauces. I am a big fan of the spicy georgia red bbq sauce. The gold is also great, just a mustard flavor. I'm tempted to buy a bottle the next time I visit. My recommendation - Come visit on a warm day. Order a platter of food (2 meats will give you plenty of leftovers) and a slice of cake. Sit at the outside tables and enjoy. There are fans outside if it's too warm.
