Suuuuuch friendly service! I didn't catch names unfortunately, but the older gentleman with a heavy accent was amazing and on top of keeping our drinks filled! There was another gal waitressing, also a complete sweetheart, definition of southern hospitality. Food was great, and there were plenty of things to choose from! Very clean inside, and an overall great experience! read more

Service was outstanding, our waitress was always coming by to offer drinks and clean up dirty plates. She also put a couple of tables together to give us some extra elbow room. A good variety of salads, meats, and desserts on the buffet. read more

Love this place. Owner and staff are amazing. Food is well stocked and delicious. Super clean and organized. I can't wait to come back. Chicken and dumplings and lemon pepper wings were my favorite here. read more

Muy buen restaurant pusieron nuevas cosas en el menu y hay mejor comida mas saludable la atencion es buena.

I travel frequently and get tired of the same old chains when looking for a place to eat dinner. Green Tomato Buffet is a great change from all of those places. They have a big variety of different mains and sides along with a salad bar and desserts. In the 3 times I've visited the staff has been incredibly friendly and the 2 servers (Jennetta and John) acted as if I was family. One surprise was the mac-n-cheese which was made like I do (not out of a box or or with canned cheese). It was really good! This isn't the Taj Mahal, it is a buffet in a strip mall with great service and a low price. I would choose this any day over Golden Corral or the local Chinese buffet. I've eaten at many of the restaurants in this area and this is consistently my first choice. read more

Green Tomato Buffet - Menu with contact info as of 11/25 - Buffets Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

My family of six came in on November 1, 2025, to celebrate my dad's birthday. Ms. Jannetta found a table for us where we could all sit together and have space for gifts. She was so kind and attentive! She made sure our drinks were full and took away any used plates promptly, so we always had plenty of room. The food is always delicious and feels like home. Thanks, Janetta, for your thoughtfulness and smile! read more

Food was amazing and we had the best waitress (Jennetta) ~ all home style cooked food and HIGHLY RECOMMEND ~ friendly staff and reasonably priced! read more

Green Tomato Buffet - Strawberry shortcake - Buffets Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Just ate here the food was ok but the services was awful The wanna be stud was disrespectful because when you say thank you she just says mhmm and that's it and then the other one she's disrespectful because she just wanna see certain people instead of seeing whoever come through the door. I never got a refill on my tea until I was about to leave and then when I looked, she's about to come with the tea pitcher no, I got up and I left. I will never come back if those two are working read more

I took my Mom for her first visit, and she enjoyed it very much. We found the restaurant to be clean and comfortable, the food delicious, and the buffet well-maintained. Most notable was our exceptional waitress, Jennetta, who took care of our every need with a warm and friendly demeanor. read more

Buffet style southern style chicken and country fixings and other stuff including fried green tomatoes. Self-service so that's easy. The waitress did bring our beverages. The place is very welcoming and laid back ambiance. read more

Been a loyal customer for over 10 years. Have experience good food and wonderful respectful service despite the several turnovers with owners. Unfortunately this new owner charged me almost $170 for what should have been 50 servings of soup for a small gathering. Well after been shorted 20 portions the owner was very condescending towards me and stated he did me a favor by taking the order. He went on to accuse me of trying to get free money for my church and called the police. He also threatened to contact my supervisor. Keep in mind after he inconvenienced me. Owner is definitely going to be the cause of what's been a great neighborhood restaurant and catering service down fall. I'm learning that some people are just not cut out for the public and this senseless attitude in a business owner has really surprised me. read more

Loved the food the waitress was helpful telling me what days were what items. Will go back

My wife had just lost her dad, we were traveling on a day would have usually had a family reunion (Easter), and my wife was longing for the foods she would have had at that reunion. We woke up and randomly found this place. My wife cried and felt like she was home again. The people were amazing, and the food is real, down home, country made food. Not only was the food and staff wonderful, but the atmosphere was sorely needed at that hard time she was having. read more

I informed the Chinese manager that the chicken was soggy and old. She informed me that they only replenish the chicken when it runs out. Then she had the cook to refry the chicken making it unbeatable. Never again. Rip off buffet! read more

Wow, what a find. Found it by accident just browsing Yelp. We aren't from these parts but wish we were. There are too many foods to list on the buffet but I really enjoyed everything I ate. I tried to get a sample of at least 2 plates full. Then desert was great too. The service was on point too. Dinning room is just like your normal buffet type . However, this one has live music which a guy was playing a jazz guitar and tearing it up. What a cool thing to have. We are seniors and received a discount. Over all we had a great experience and would love going back when we get the chance. read more

I'm always weary of buffets, usually they are sub par. I finally gave Green Tomato a try after living here a year, I was pleasantly surprised. Food was very good, the whole family enjoyed it very much. Will definitely come back !! read more

Man one to go plate here coats 25$ and it's 9/25/22 I don't think I will be going back this is ridiculous and even Thanksgiving is even worse read more

I really enjoyed my plate. I wish they would open one in charlotte North Carolina lol we like soul food too! Lol read more

Great service, hot and fresh food. However during busy times they run out of items and don't have proper backup..had to wait 20 minutes for fried chicken, worth the wait? Yes..hot, juicy and delicious. But they were also low or out of other "meats". Great salad bar with numerous choices, same with dessert choices. I love fried green tomatoes, it's actually the only way I eat tomatoes, but disappointed with theirs, very greasy and no sauce provided. This is my 3rd or 4th visit... There will be a 5th. I love that the food is HOT! I don't mind having to blow on it to cool it off. Service...these ladies are always polite, and friendly. read more

Green Tomato Buffet - Lunch - Buffets Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Last night I stopped by here with a few of my family members. We were all extremely disappointed. The food has very little flavor. The country fried steak had an odd bitter flavor. Max and cheese did not taste of anything. The sweet potatoes casserole wasn't a casserole it was just mashed sweet potatoes. We left hungry. read more

Older place, not a lot of options, food was decent, mashed potatoes tasted like the bag kind and Mac and cheese was just butter and crusty cheese (not terrible) but needed sauce. Not much more to say sadly. read more

We had so many delicious dishes to choose from. The music was great and the server was very attentive. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was pleasant. read more

It's not home cooking but not totally all out of the can or styrene or foil pouches either. The surprise was three people for $58.64 without tip. So, fried chicken was good, salad was good, casseroles were ok. But, unless you can really eat, the value is not that good. The restaurant is clean. Service was good. The food bars, mostly stocked with canned and precooked deserts were clean. Good without the glitter and not a great value. read more

This place was a very good buffet I went with my family. Very reasonable price. They had a good selection of food including a very large salad bar. Some of the food that they have was Baked spaghetti, Sweet potato casserole, Cooked carrots, Collar greens, Mashed potatoes, Meatloaf, Lima beans, Cook green beans, Squash, Homemade rolls and cornbread, A large variety of dessert pies, Baked chicken, Fried chicken, Mac and cheese, Chilli, Cantaloupe, Peaches, Pineapple, Brownies, Is there menu changes depending on the day best thing to do is to check online first see what they have for that day. The only small issue I had was when they give you a gave plastic glove to go up to the salad bar when you pay that is that is the only plastic glove you have to use so you have to keep using it. I would suggest that each time you go up they would have a station where you can get a new one So you don't contaminate it when you take it off and reuse it. Otherwise no complaints highly would recommend. read more

Great southern cooking. The menu is comprised of foods I grew up on in the South. Everything was well seasoned and well cooked. Fried chicken, steamed cabbage, beans, greens, and corn bread sure are fulfilling read more

Food was awful and unseasoned. We paid $40 for 2 people for basically drinks because the food was not up to par. Buffet was cold and flies were on the pies. I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. This is my 2nd time visiting and both times were a disappointment. Employees didn't even ask why our plates were still full after our 15 minute visit. read more

No seasoning and the chicken is fried hard like cement (not worth the price) the food just does taste the same anymore

Best buffet we have ever had and best of all, it's Real Southern Food! We went on Sunday at 1pm and although it was packed the flow was fast. Our server was friendly and we thought the food was excellent. Between us we tried it all. The mashed potatoes were real, the beef tips in gravy were tender and flavorful, and the Butter Coconut pie was amazing! This is real, homemade food that tastes like Sunday dinner. I loved the sweet potato casserole, the fried chicken was perfectly cooked, and the butter beans were great. We will definitely be back! read more

For a variety of food this is the place to go. There's a really nice salad bar with a nice selection of toppings and dressings. They have several vegetables to choose from, glazed carrots, steamed cabbage, green beans, macaroni and cheese, rutabagas and of course fried green tomatoes, just to name a few. The entree selection is nice too, fried chicken, baked fish and Salisbury steak are just a few of the entree items on the bar. The dessert bar has every kind of dessert you could think of including an ice-cream machine. Some things are frozen, but the macaroni and cheese is the real deal!! If you're looking for a big selection of food this is the place to visit. read more

Green Tomato Buffet - Mac and cheese, fried chicken breast, glazed carrots and corn - Buffets Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Unremarkable and overpriced for the quality of food served. 32.00 for 2 adults with water to drink. Lots of choices, and Fried Chicken and MacNCheese were delicious, but elementary school plates in a very crowded dining room was not a good experience compared to Epic buffet, Mutts, or Golden Corral for same price or less. Will return to Mutts going forward ! read more

Never disappointed. First time back since Covid started. Food is delicious. The selection is great. I eat a mostly plant based diet. My wife doesn't. We both had an enjoyable time. The staff is great, too! read more

Visiting from NC and found this amazing place! Not only is the food great but the people working here are attentive, courteous, and fun to be around. This is the place to go for some good southern cooking! Thank you to the Green Tomato team for making this a pleasurable dining experience! read more

Staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. BUT... The food was average and lacking any real flavor. Nothing had that homemade quality. I saw little to no rotation of the food and everything I sampled tasted simply ordinary. Nothing bad to say but, nothing good either. It, was under $7 a meal so in that respect you pretty much get what you pay for. This is one that I've checked off the list, but sadly would probably not come back. Too bad, because when I looked at the selection on the Buffett I was excited.... A weak 3 Star more middle of the road r Stuart. read more

Great place with great host... Good broccoli salad... Chicken pot pie on mondays... Good sweet tea.... Good fried chicken....nice atmosphere

I went to this restaurant last Sunday, looking for some southern food! Green Tomato Buffet did not disappoint! The waitress that attended us was great, she was friendly and came and checked on us even tho it was busy. If you want to take out your family or have kids, I think this would be a great place to take them. My brother loved it and he wants to go back. read more

I used to love eating at Green Tomato, one of my favorite places. I hadn't eaten there since covid & some other reasons. I had some friend here from Florida & took them there this week. Everything has changed. The cashier didn't give us the Sr. discount, I asked why & she said you have to ask for it. They used to give it automatically. The food was not as good as it used to be & it was barley lukewarm, which really ruined it. Who wants cold food! The place used to be packed at lunch, I noticed there weren't that many people in there. I guess lots of other former fans had the same experience as we did. I was a little embarrassed after recommending it to my friends. I hope things improve! read more

If you're on the east side of Greenville and looking for some southern comfort food without any fuss, this is the place for you. For such a low price point ($9.99 for weekend dinner!), you get a great variety of food, fast service, and so much dessert. Did I mention it is all you can eat? Holy. The delicious aroma of fried chicken can't be missed the moment you get out of your car. Green Tomato knows that's one of its best menu items so the fried chicken is never low and always fresh. They have some other meat options like ribs, meatloaf, chicken liver, but the fried chicken is where it's at. Tons of hot side dishes are available ranging from sautéed cabbage (yum!), collard greens, mac and cheese, to fried green tomatoes, of course. Their salad bar is also generous considering not many people are there to eat that haha. Most surprising, is the huge dessert spread. Not only do the have soft serve ice cream, but they have so so many cakes and pies and bites. Sugar overload! The restaurant itself is lined with booth seating along the side walls with tables and chairs flanking the food bar in the middle. The restaurant is not very big so it can be busy, but people are in and out relatively fast so the wait is never overly long. Worth it for true southern comfort food! read more

Good selection on the buffet, impeccable service. Can't beat it for the price. Nothing bad to say whatsoever! The veggies on the buffet are always fresh. The Lima's are the best. Always a great selection of meats. C read more

Been there half a dozen times now and the food is pretty consistent. For a buffet the selection is pretty varied and changes enough that a return visit will allow you to try something you may have missed before. Take the kids ... even the picky ones will find something they like. read more
