I recently had lunch here with my sorority Sigma Gamma Rho. The food was served buffet style. The food was delicious, though the chicken was a little bland. I liked the fact that the vegetables were seasoned well with no pork. The establishment is nice, and is very spacious if you wanted to host a large party. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Parking is located on the side and there is street parking available. read more

As a first time visitor, I enjoyed the buffet selection that was offered. There was a variety of meats, vegetables, and desserts. The seating area looks like a banquet dining hall. The waitress was pleasant, and the food tasted ok. The fish was tasty, but saltier than I preferred. The buffet also includes salad. The location is great. I recommend this place. read more

Omg,this place is awesome. Was not able to check everything out, but what I had melted in my mouth.I want to take my family when they come to visit. read more

This was our 2nd time eating here on our date and the food was great. Our waitress Mia was amazing. The atmosphere was great. They even had a DJ. read more

We had a family gathering there, it was so nice getting with them and the fellowship was wonderful. The place was accommodating for us and other customers, but the food supply was........ I understand, with good soul food it is going to go quickly, but to have at house full of people with 8 or more waiting on chitterlings you do not come out with a half bowl and expect all 8 to get some....not gonna happen. That is my minus 1 star, otherwise everything was good, the atmosphere, good, food quality, good, service, good. read more

Family of 4 was stuffed for $52.00. Finally a country cooking place in Burlington. I got fried chicken (very good!) you can't find Fried chicken in Burlington. It's all you can eat. It's a Buffett but completely sanitary gloves required each touch. From fried pork chops to collards this place has it. They call it soul food, us white folk would say it's just good country cooking. Sweet staff and clean, well lit facility. If you want country food and all you can eat, this is the place! read more

Since moving to NC I have been on the lookout for good soul food and I found it today in Downtown Burlington. We went in for lunch (they are only open during lunch most days) and I found out that it is buffet-style. That was fine with me. Upon entering, you're shown a table and you give your drink order....then it's on! The buffet looks like it may be a set menu each day but you can always see what they have on their website or Facebook. Today, I tried the following: Fried Chicken (so good), Green Beans (solid), Parsley Potatoes (pretty salty but good), Mac & Cheese (ok but I'm a little bit of a snob since its my favorite food), and Cornbread (awesome). I also tried some of my husband's smothered pork chop and rice, which was just ok. There were some other offerings that looked really good, but I was too full from my first plate... I'm coming for you next time Brussel Sprouts. Aside from the food, the service was great! Everyone was really personable and made you feel like you were at a family members house. The inside is a little dated and looks like it may be used for banquets and receptions, which could be why it is only open during lunch most days. Sorry, I didnt take photos because everyone knows that real soul food isn't made to look pretty...it is made to taste good and they achieved that. I will definitely be back and it will be soon! read more

The food is really good. Safety protocols in place and followed. Variety of soul food items available. Fried fish, yams, collards, cabbage, pig feet, chicken etc available. Friendly and efficient staff. Owners are welcoming. read more

This was a wonderful experience. The people were great and the food was out of this world. We got there late but they continued to bring out delicious hot home cooked food. I will be back. read more

1 word - yuk. Outdated decor, moldy reception hall, and food that is reheated from a super store like Sam's Club all make for a interesting, cheap event. But if you need to rent something quick and don't mind high quality or class it could be worse. read more

My husband and I ordered a rehearsal dinner catered on September 3, prior to flying out to North Carolina from Seattle, for our son's wedding in Mebane. Everything was handled by phone and I communicated with the owner, Elois, by email for the final order. Our daughter-in-law is originally from NC and we let her and my son choose the menu. Earlier in the day, before they delivered the food to the venue, a few of us stopped in for a quick lunch and sampled what they had out in the buffet. Service was excellent, and the owner was present and helped us set up delivery to the venue later that evening, about 10 miles away in Mebane. It was so nice to have her bring hot and freshly prepared food to us, ready to be served to a hungry group of rehearsal dinner guests. We ate under the covered dance floor area, at the Pavilion at Nicks Road, on a perfect September evening. The food was devoured, Chicken and Dumplings, Roast Beef with Mushroom Sauce, Garlic Roasted Potatoes, Lima Beans, Collard Greens, Fried Okra, Deviled Eggs, Stuffed Mushrooms, Cole Slaw, Watermelon Basket, and Peach Cobbler. It was enjoyed by all, and the chicken salad on croissant sandwiches that I ordered for the lunch the next day were the best! I could have ordered twice as many of those, they were so good. Weddings are so crazy busy, with lots of details to attend to, and people to check up on, and out of town guests who arrive hungry and thirsty. Watching them lay their eyes on the spread of food takes a lot of the pressure off, and brings a smile to everyones face, because we all know, a full belly makes everyone a happier guest! The building itself, in Burlington is clean and bright, with what an eating establishment needs -tables, chairs, good cooks, good food and people to fill the room. We do not require anything other than that, and I grow tired of having to digest a business owner's ego, along with the food. I like it simple, pure and without drama. I knew we would be happy with the end result at Occasions - just from talking to Elois on the phone. I would recommend this option to anyone needing catering or just a good, filling, tasteful North Carolina meal. An excellent experience all the way around. read more

This was our first time & we'll definitely be back! The food was awesome! EVERYTHING I had was sooooo good ! Minus 1 Star bc it's need of some serious updates decor wise read more

I love their food. They are open Tues-Fri from 1130-2 for lunch. They are open in the evening but I'm not sure what time. I have not eaten in yet only gotten plates to go. They have the best fried chicken I have ever eaten. There Mac n cheese is delicious . I am going to eat in one day so i can try more stuff because the to go plates are weighed by the pound so I haven't gotten a variety but to eat in its a set price. read more

This catering company opens for lunch and had pretty good good and service. I came 30 minutes before closing but there was still plenty of freshly prepared chicken (fried and grilled/baked), potatoes, green beans, and other foods also. Although the buffet is not too large, the price is reasonable ($9.07). I will definitely return to see what else may be on the buffet that they currently offer from the catering menu. read more

I went to Occassions for the fisrt time with my church chour, when we first got there the car that i was in we find a parking space easy. The church van on the otherhand took a few mintues to get a parking space. The parking areas was limited. Once all of my church family and i went inside there was a line coming in and going out. It was a nice crowed. We were directed straight to our tables. The waitress were nice and polite. We order our drinks with no problems. then we went to the buffet spread, wow that was hugh lay-out!! First I tried mic-cheese,fried chicken, bake chcken,fish, rice, and some greens. All of that was good. So I went back again and tried the pig feet, bread-pudding, and a salad. That that was good too. Everything that I tried in this restrarunt was good. the desert table had cake, pie, icecream a litte bit of everyrthing. The eating area is very large and spacious. the people were coming in back to back .To me I loved this place all the food was good. The service was excellent. The resteraunt itself nice. There is nothing bad that I can say about this resteraunt, but I can say dont stay to long, by the food being so good you will over eat I love it read more

We used Occasions Catering for our family reunion last week and we could not have been more pleased. The food was beyond excellent, the service was as professional as could be. They did everything from serving us to making sure we has enough and wanted to know if there was anything they could do. I would recommend them to anybody anywhere any time. We cannot thank them enough or making our event so successful. If you need a REAL GOOD caterer you cannot go wrong with Occasions. You will think your grandmamma cooked this food. And there as so much of it. Thank You Thank You Thank You. The Wade Jeffries Dixon and all the other names I don't know Family Reunion. We will surely use you again. Much Love. read more

My wife's best friend had her birthday party at Occasions Restaurant. So when we got the invitation, we were excited because we had just ate at the newly opened Classe in Greensboro where the food was great. Occasions food was cold on the warmers. The birthday party took up three tables, and each table had to fight off flies while they ate. Our server jokingly said, "Let me clear your table before more flies come". I didn't finish my food because, it was cold, my two the corn muffins were hard like they were made days ago. The mac & cheese had too much butter in them, the fish was cold, along with the sweet potatoes. The only thing that I enjoyed were the new potatoes. The dessert portion offered only two choices, but only one choice was available. My wife, daughter and I left, wishing we could have our $41.64 back. I'm really upset that the flagship restaurant presented subpar service from the servers, cooks and ambiance. read more
