"Ma" & "Pa" ate here and we were satisfied. We bypassed the buffet, good thing because we came in at 10:30 & they pulled it 5 min later. The menu items are cooked to order, and VERY reasonably priced. Being particular, I ordered the bacon crisp, & the hash browns crispy. It all came as ordered! The fresh pies in the bakery case looked SO delicious. Service was outstanding for a Friday morning. read more

Large restaurant with a souvenir/convenience store attached. You can order off the menu or get the buffet. We opted for the buffet for a few dollars more to try the different types of foods they offered. I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. The barbecue chicken and fried chicken was great along with the vegetables. They offered green beans, corn, sauerkraut and sausage which was just OK, the sausage was store-bought and I am used to homemade so I didn't care for it. The desserts, which went with the buffet were great. I like the bread, pudding and cobbler. The lemon sauce that you could add to your bread pudding had a chemical flavor. Probably from the fake lemon flavor added. The rolls were awesome as was the cornbread. The service was fine seeing how you served yourself for a buffet. The price was adequate and I would come back. Everyone in our party enjoy this place. read more

Stopped by on impromptu visit. Had the buffet which included soup and salad no drink for $17.99. Price is well worth in considering you get a lot of options to choose from. The food was warm and seasoned well. Desserts were also delicious. Place does look a little like Cracker Barrel but more rustic. Service was not bad considering they only had one cook today keeping everything stocked and doing to go orders. Definitely recommend. read more

We stopped here for lunch on our way through town. Decided to get the buffet and it did not disappoint. Small selection but the food!! The fried chicken was seasoned and juicy, the potatoes were real potatoes, and the green beans were not from a can. I wanted to try the pork chops but I also wanted to save room for dessert and I am glad I did. The bread pudding and peach cobbler were some of the best I have had. Gigi was our server and she was very pleasant and a sweet lady. read more

I'd give this place a hard pass. The sausages were so tough you could hardly cut through them, once you did the flavor was ok. The turkey(?) was extremely dry. The fried chicken was good but greasy. The salad bar was good but sparse on the selections. Witnessed a customer drop the cornbread tongs on the floor, notified staff who said they'd take care of it and didn't within the time we were there - that alone was a huge nope. read more

I wouldn't say the greatest service ever but the food made up for that. Some of the best fried chicken I've had in a long time. Sides were great as well. There was a buffet option for around $17. The other side of the restaurant was a store and also sold bread and some pastries. Good place to stop when passing through read more

Have not eaten here in a few years. Stopped in for Sunday breakfast- just as I remembered. Clean, great food and service. Will come back more often when in the area. read more

We stopped by today (9/4/2023) and ate at the buffet. Let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious! The ingredients for the salad were fresh, the ribs were tasty, and the fried chicken was on point. To add to the list: homemade mashed potatoes, well seasoned black eyed peas, and cornbread/rolls.Their deserts were also top-notch. (Bread pudding, peach cobbler, banana pudding, and chocolate pudding). We left overly full, and our tastebuds were appreciative. read more

The breakfast is Buffay because $10 it's barely warm and when it's getting closer to the end of the breakfast time they rush you to get food but they don't want to offer you lunch The staff was rude I would never recommend this place to any one Christi the server was very rude also. Will not recommend this place in the near future. read more

Oakridge Restaurant - The buffet breakfast bar - Barbeque Near Me - Schulenburg, Texas

What a TERRIBLE breakfast . The sausage tasted like game meat. Everything was old and tough . The service wasn't bad , pretty friendly . The place looks amazing and has many cool rooms to eat . The lunch didn't look bad but I didn't stick around to see . read more

We were coming in to houston from san antonio and we stopped at oakridge restaurant and may i just say that the breakfast food was amazing. my favorite was the biscuits and the scrambled eggs. we came just at the end of breakfast when they started taking lunch out. that also looked amazing and my family and i decided to come back on our way back to san antonio. they had country music playing and there was a cute little shop in the front. the staff at the buffet were so nice and welcoming. I hate reading all of these bad reviews because i loved the service and the food and i hate how people didn't love it as much as my family and i did. read more

Good home cooked food, kind courteous staff... the lunch buffet was really good.. I recommend without hesitation

This place is just a lot of fun. Great theme with a humorous twist. When you walk in , you walk in a nice bakery and deli souvenir store. The restaurant entrance is in the back of the store and opens up to three " back country " style dining rooms. Although the buffet is not our style it was very busy. We had a great "platter" and platter means big brisket , sausage and baked potato dinner at a reasonable price. The service was very good. It's definitely worth a stop by and right off the freeway. Yeeeee ha! read more

When the tuna salad is the tastiest item on the buffet, there is a problem. Instant mashed potatoes is a no go for any eating establishment. Two stars because the service was spectacular. Needs a new Head Cook. read more

This place is right off the highway. Its a restaurant and a store/gift shop. The demographics of this place tends to be old country people. They offer buffet line as well as ordering off the menu. Their portions are large. Fast service, and the food was actually good. Very country, southern, home cook food style. read more

There were a lot of cars here, so we thought this place must be good. Upon entering, I saw they had a buffet - I was starving, so why not right. UGH!!!! It was beyond awful! I can not think of anything on the buffet that was worth eating. So after paying 10.95 a person for the buffet.... we left, still hungry - but unwilling to try anything else in this town. read more

I didn't order from the menu, but had the lunch buffet which was included in our tour. The food bar had salad with all the fixings and soup. Sausage, chicken, ribs and sirloin tips and white rice were the meat choices. Mashed potatoes and Lima bean mix and beets were the veggies. The food was sent enough. Also, cake, bread pudding, cobblers and regular pudding for dessert. Not bad. read more

The food taste is HORRIBLE. The hamburger patties tasted like cardboard heated in a microwave, the smoked house turkey was somehow fried in grease, the rice was not cooked all the way. We should have walked out when the people at the table beside us pulled a hair out of their food. Overall never ever will we go back!!!! read more

Nice buffet with lots of choices includes tea, dessert and salad bar. The corn bread was excellent and my husband really liked the sausage. It was fast and good. read more

Oakridge Restaurant - Plate from the buffet. - Barbeque Near Me - Schulenburg, Texas

Off the chain old school breakfast buffet. Not alot of flavor but this is the style of food there was i Bavk in the day. Not loud or tvs. Gospel music on the radio..will be back again read more

A must stop when traveling I-10. Wonderful baked goods, including fruit kolaches, piggies in a blanket, and cinnamon raisin bread. The raisin bread can be sliced for free, and freezes quite well. They have an all day/everyday buffet from breakfast to supper that's very good for the price. Pick your meats from the bottom of the pan though. The top slices tend to get dry. Big ol biscuits and yummy gravy are my favs. read more

Oakridge Restaurant - First round of the breakfast buffet. The strawberry cinnamon roll was amazing! - Barbeque Near Me - Schulenburg, Texas

Over priced, luke warm food and the bbq beef was dry....couldn't eat most of it. Waste of time.

Horrible food. If you are looking for home cooked food, thi is not the place. Salad bar is all out of a can or bag. Ordered off the menu to get shot at fresh food. Not happening! Hamburger patty was premade patty and was raw inside. Horrible instant gravy. My cf pork steak was too salty to eat. Instant cream gravy looked like a pile of glue. Please get different manager and COOK. I remember when food was good here years ago. Keep driving now. read more

We have been here previously for the smoked, dried meats and have been pleased, so a quick dinner stop at Oakridge on the way to Houston sounded reasonable. I ordered a half lb each of the sausage, the brisket and the turkey; Also ordered some potato salad and beans. The potato salad was the clear winner in my order. It was pretty good. Unfortunately, all of the meat was lacking in some form or fashion. The sausage was boiled...uggghh, the brisket had no bark nor flavor, and the turkey was dry and also lacked flavor. I was so disappointed with my experience, I signed up on Yelp, just to review the place. One star because you can stop and pee here! No seriously, don't eat here if you are wanting BBQ. read more

The sign said World's Best BBQ- except it wasn't BBQ'd it was baked. The food is terrible, the service is terrible. Stay away!

Heading to Houston from San Antonio we were hungry for BBQ. We stopped here and had their buffet. It was outstanding! We will DEFINATELY be back read more

We stopped here on our way down to the Rio Grande Valley, where my Mom spends the winters. We pulled into the parking lot at approximately 7:40 PM, and asked them how late they were open. We were told '8:30', so we decided we'd go in and eat. We were seated, and waited a short time for the waitress to come out of the kitchen and take our drink orders. Since it was a little bit late, we both decided to just eat off of the 'all you can eat' buffet. Food was good enough. By 8:00 PM, they started sweeping the floor, all around our table, raising up some dust and dirt. At 8:10, the owner (I assume), came out from the front of the restaurant and told the staff 'that's it', and they promptly started tearing down the buffet. They did ask 'you don't want anything else from the buffet, do you?', to which we just said no, even though we were still slightly hungry. At this point we just felt rushed to get out of there. We finished up, and left around 8:15-8:20. Never have I felt so rushed to leave and uncomfortable in my dining experience. As mentioned, the food was good enough, but the dining atmosphere was not. Probably will skip the place next year, unless we're there before 7:00. If a restaurant is open until 8:30, they should be serving food until that time. When we left, they had a sign out that said, 'kitchen closed', so they obviously want to have the place cleaned up and gone by 8:30; if that's the case, then they should tell customers that they close at 8:00, not 8:30. My Dad owned a restaurant for years, so I understand the time it takes to close and clean a kitchen. We also welcomed customers near closing time, and did NOT start cleaning the front of the house until they were finished, as that is rude to your paying clientele. STOP rushing your customers through....not a relaxing dining experience at all. read more

Ordered the chopped steak with mashed potatoes. Looks like they took the steak out of the Sysco box threw it on the grill and heated it. Then topped it off with add water mashed potatoes and gravy. These are not items that are hard to make homemade people. Yuck!! Even the Pepsi was flat. read more

This is a country style place that reminds me of cracker barrel with WAY better food. It is country with waitresses who help you out. If you are looking for fine dining and fine service then this isn't your place. I like stopping here for breakfast as they have some of the best pancakes I've ever eaten. People that rate this place low must be a little fussy. It is old timey and cheap. Give it a try! read more

Has to be the worst food I have eaten in a long time! The only thing decent was the salad. The ribs were all fat. The dressing would have been better if they had used stove top brand. The world famous bread pudding was awful. Our drinks were even flat when they got to us. We were seated at a dirty table and had to wait for it to be cleaned. Taco Bell would have been a better choice. read more

"Ma'am, don't make me get the law involved." That was the quote from the harpy owner delivered in the most genteel deadpan I had ever heard. My family had driven from San Antonio the Jasper to say goodbye to my father's mother and was on our way back in one very long day. All told that's a six hour drive in one day to a kind of funeral and back. But don't think this was about our emotional roller coaster. This was about a small town eatery having no consideration for good paying customers. My mother, who loved this place, talked us into stopping even though we had already eaten a rather large lunch. She asked to get a buffet to go. They said yes but you can't eat it here. Why not? You have to buy a buffet for here to eat here and one to go to take with you. This is dumb for two reasons. One, my mother weighs almost a third of what I do. Did they think she was pulling one over on them. I crushed that buffet right there and she just wanted to fill a box. So you get more food if you stay there. It wasn't like she thought she could eat all she wanted and then take a full box home. She wasn't very hungry, wanted to take some home, and also wanted to peck at something (the same thing already in the box and NO MORE) while the rest of her party ate. That's the second reason. I'm not one of those that thinks you ought to be able to get everything you want exactly the way you want it, but when you're threatening to call the cops on a lady with 5 others with her all good paying customers...let it go. But to threaten the cops because the person at the counter said what she was doing was okay but the owner disagreed is..well...it says disastrous things about the state of our world. I'm not exaggerating either that's like calling the cops because McDonald's is out of fries which happens all the time. And this from a small town??? Small towns are supposed to be the sane ones when the rest of the world is going to hell in a hand basket. So the owner wants to scare off potential future customers, alright she's done just that. I won't be going back. The rest of you may enjoy the chicken but the character tastes sour. read more

We went to this large BBQ smokehouse restaurant . Really impressive signage. 11.95 for their all you can eat buffet..which tonight had sausages ,sauerkraut, fried chicken ,beans that tasted like someone spilled the sugar in them..carrots,corn,cornbread stuffing,gravy,dinner rolls, chocolate and vanilla puddings, scalloped type potatoes, plus an assortment of salad bar stuff, lettuce,tomatos,onions, carrots, eggs, etc. Also there was soup and bread pudding and peach cobbler..waitress was a sweetie..but unless you like eating cheap crap pudding that's dumped out of cans with fake whipped cream and boxed vanilla cookies stuck around the edge..chocolate pudding dumped out of cans ,you cant make peach cobbler any worse than that .... Honestly ..if you ARE NOT accustomed to eating good food...you will probably like it..if you are people who like GOOD FOOD.. DONT GO THERE FOR IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE ONLY A BIT OF SO SO FOOD ON THEIR BUFFET..PRETTY BAD..LAST BUT NOT FORGOTTEN WAS THEIR CASHIER..I THINK SHE ATE EVERY SOUR THING ..BECAUSE SHE WAS A GRUMPY GROUCHY FIGURE WHO DIDNT GIVE A RATS RUMP ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT GETTING YOUR MONEY. WHAT the heck..maybe she is like that because she ate the food . Try somewhere else..dont waste you time, appetite or money..this place should just go away.. read more

Sign coming into town said,"world's greatest breakfast !" That is a bold statement ! They-have a breakfast buffet or one can order off menu. We chose to order off menu. My wife had pancakes which was real good,the bacon is great. I had the Spanish omelet which was huge. They have homemade bread they use for toast. That was also good. The only draw back was the hash browns. They were just turned over on the grill several times and not crispy on outside. Service was good and we were in out in no time. We liked the bacon so much that we bought more out of the deli. The only other bacon that come's close is Hawaii. I would recommend for breakfast cannot comment on lunch. read more

Buffet style with good food. Been here many times for breakfast buffet. Well worth every penny. I've also had the dinner buffet a couple times and not regretted that either read more

I have been here several times but only for the beef jerky which is really good. I would give the jerky 4 stars. Today we decided to try the food. One of the worst meals I've ever had. My husband got the beef and sausage plate. I could immediately tell it was dry and tough. My husband only ate a couple pieces and a small bite was enough for me. Even adding there thick sweet BBQ sauce couldn't help how dry the brisket was. The ranch style beans were cold and the potato salad was nothing special. The sausage wasn't bad and the only thing he was able to continue eating off his plate. I had the chicken fried steak and mash potatoes. $10 for the smallest chicken fried steak I've ever had. The rest of the plate was covered in a huge mound of mash potatoes. They were both edible but nothing special. Even the iced tea was horrible. We didn't ask for refills and only drank about half a glass. We didn't complain just decided that we would never ever eat here again. We proceeded to the register. I ordered our usually beef jerky at the counter. As I was paying a noticed some cute rings and bracelets. I told the women I wanted a bracelet so she added it and told me my total. I told her I'd also like to see a ring first. She seemed so annoyed. I asked if I could try one on, she snapped at me and told me "there stretchy". Yes well I have thin fingers and need to make sure it fits before I purchase one. I tried it on and I was right it was too small. I told her it didn't fit and she snatched it out of my hand and set it to the side. I guess she woke up on the wrong side of the bed, maybe she didn't like my blue hair, Or maybe she's just old and cranky. The way she treated me was uncalled for and I'm not sure if I'll return. read more

Just ate lunch/ dinner there. The service was good, the buffet was also very good. If you get the buffet your in and out very quickly . I would recommend eating there. read more
