This KFC has a buffet and it's conveniently located off I-85 Exit 213 in Henderson.
KFC locations with buffets are popular in this region, but are a rare find back in the Northeast where I live. There are a few KFC locations up in CT and ME which still offer the buffet at a reasonable price. Where I live in NH, there are plenty of KFCs where I can go for that "finger lickin' goodness" but none of them have a buffet.
This busy KFC restaurant with drive-thru offers the standard KFC menu items, fill-up boxes, combos, plus the AYCE Buffet includes regular fountain drink for $7.99 (adults), $6.99 (seniors), dine-in only, prices in 2016. The buffet hours are 11AM to 8PM
While traveling through NC, I stopped in here to the Henderson KFC for a high-noon Sunday lunch, so I could get the AYCE Kentucky Buffet, which I last had at another KFC back in March. The AYCE Buffet with a Regular Drink. I was given a soda cup and styrofoam dinner plate and bowl. Help myself!
The AYCE Kentucky Buffet is setup at the counter past the registers, which offers a decent selection of hot and cold items including original fried chicken, extra crispy fried chicken, grilled chicken, BBQ shredded chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, Kentucky baked beans, lima beans, green beans, peas, niblet corn, stewed tomatoes, mac & cheese, biscuits, macaroni salad, potato salad, cole slaw, cottage cheese, lettuce, dressing packets, pickle slices, chilled fruit, jello, cherry cobbler, peach cobbler and more. You're given plastic plate(s) after you pay then help yourself. Ask for a clean styrofoam plate & bowl on return trips to the buffet.
The food on the buffet was the standard tasty and filling KFC fare, nothing fancy, slightly varied from the KFC buffet in CT, which also had stuffing, soup, and pudding. The place was extremely busy with lots of folks getting the buffet. The staff was trying to keep the buffet stocked as there was a wait for replenished food including the original chicken. The salad bar was very empty with the lettuce barely fresh.. The vegetables were very soft which were sitting in very hot water for a while. The grilled chicken on the buffet was very good, plump and juicy. The restaurant dining room was a bit of a mess since it was very busy. In all, it was a good place to stop for a filling quick lunch. I even gave up going to Bojangle's across the street too!
I still with the KFC Buffet was brought back to more KFC locations in the northeast (NH?), but I'd probably make it a habit to eat at KFC more than I already do now.
