    We went into the Ole Times Country Buffet today with a large group. I was the bus driver for our senior adults at church. Before attending the event in Brunswick we went here for dinner first. Everything I had on the buffet was good. I really liked the fried shrimp and fried fish. Very good flavor! I also had a salad which was good. Definitely recommend Ole Times in Brunswick! Everyone was super nice and all the staff did a great job taking care of our large group. I forgot to take more photos while we were there. * According to our large group "they loved it and can't wait to come back to this location".

    The selections of food were endless from the fresh salad bar, fresh vegetables meats, fruit and desserts. The fries catfish was a bit salty but overall the food was good for the price. The inside is large and spacious. I noticed that big parties were celebrating but the restaurant roomy was nice with clean restrooms. The staff was nice and attentive.

    Choices upon choices!

    This place was an amazing buffet, even bigger than golden corral, and Golden corral is one of my favorites, but this place was just out of this world. Firstly, you've got friendly staff, secondly, you've got amazing food with an insane amount of choices. And lastly, the place isn't actually too loud despite how many people were there and it was PACKED. They also have probably the most amazing steaks I've ever tried. I highly recommend this place, just don't make the same mistake I did and give yourself horrible stomach pain the next day from all the food and then decide to run on the treadmill only two hours later. That was on my side though. Still highly recommend this place.

    Service was great. Our servers was Ms. Pam was sweet and attentive. Food was okay for a buffet. Ambiance is just what you would expect from a country buffet.

    This place is a lot bigger than I expected. Parking: narrower parking is in front of the door along with 6 places for motorcycles. More spacious parking is to the right side of the building as facing the front door. The food is okey is is more towards being bland. By the number of people here the food must be good to them. The ribs, BBQ, and chicken was firm requiring you to use dentures if you got them. The only item I would complement on is the fried fish. Corn meal battered and crunchy still has the diners lining up for more. The place is clean and everyone is nice. There's no guidance on where to go when coming in. I stood in line behind a woman who was taking a while to debate the cost. Meanwhile the other line was being operated by 3 people who appeared to be busy with something else. A local came in and went directly to that line knowing it was open. I took my ticket and sat it on a table before scouting out the buffet lines and then going back to fill my plate. I returned to the table and no tea so I took my ticket to the drink are to get a tea. A lady there told me to go back to my table and they would bring over the tea. No, I've already waited and have now walked over to the drink are, give me a tea.

    This is a really big restaurant with lots of food to choose from on their buffet. The fried chicken was amazing, piping hot and fresh off the cooker. They had so many sides like Mac & cheese, collards, cabbage, other greens, kernel, on the cobb and cream style corn . The salad bar was extensive with great looking veggies, fresh lettuce and peel and eat shrimp. The dessert bar was also extensive. They have whatever you want to drink and the wait staff was on top of clearing any finished plates pretty quickly. The restrooms were clean and stocked with paper and the price of the buffet was about $20 each person. It was a good find while traveling through the area.

    I wanted to like it. There were some great things. Particularly the service. I sat next the the waitress area, but they we're definitely on top of everything. The parking area was massive and the restaurant entrance was welcoming. I paid (just me this time ) and sat down. I saw plates across from the buffet, but missed the silverware at the front entrance. Hot food first and I was pleased with the various selections. The chicken wings were really good. I'm not a fried food fan (I know, I know) but all the fried items looked fabulous. From all of the selections, the baked mac and cheese was the best. The meat selections were a bit odd (neck meat and crazy pig parts). The baked chicken looked slimy. The mashed potatoes were very good but I put the trash, box gravy on them and ewwww. Veggies were a bit bland but properly cooked. Cold salads were bland and everyone should understand, Georgia is NOT represented when canned peaches are used in the cobbler. Yet the cobbler was not bad at all. The ice cream is the powder kind and my piece of cake sat out for a bit too long. Bathrooms are clean and I really can't say enough good things about the service. Please don't think this is a good representation of southern food. It needs a lot more seasoning for that. You northerners can visit this one all you like. I'll come back but at the request of others. Overall a good, but not great experience.

    Shrimp, clams, beef tips, mashed potatoes, black eyed peas, collard greens, and  yeast roll

    Our party of five, including two finicky young grandkids, went here because of motel staff recommendation and variety for grandkids. About 4:00 PM when we arrived, expecting to be ahead of the dinner crowd, but place was packed. A good sign.No wait time at all. A great spread. Wife, daughter, and myself usually get a variety of items to share and try. Steak meh, fried chicken great, corn on cob great, fried shrimp delicious, fried clam strips hard & dry, beef tips in gravy very good, mashed potatoes great, black eyed peas great. They had crawfish! First time my grandson had them and loved them but too bland and mild for me. Surprised that some buffet favs were missing, like meatloaf, ham, pork chops, pulled pork. Pig shortage? And no Brunswick Stew in Brunswick, GA? Also nice salad bar, which we mostly ignored having not eaten all day. Good spread of desserts too, banana pudding, pecan pie, lemon meringue pie, chocolate pie, cookies, blackberry cobbler and soft serve ice cream. The highlight was peach cobbler, of course for Georgia, spectacular. Biggest drawback was a bit pricey at $80 for our party of five. Military discount of $1 a bit low. But overall a great variety. Check it out!

I accidentally locked my keys in car, along with my purse, when planning to eat here. I walked in empty handed and explained my plight to the young woman serving as the hostess. She was an absolute pleasure and immediately stepped up to help. She checked to see if anyone in the back had a coat hanger and could help. Sadly no luck there but she then shared a name of a local towing company she was familiar with and recommended. After calling for help and receiving a 30 min ETA she sat me in Amber's section. I explained that my wallet was locked in my car but she took my order and shared a "burnt toast" concept that made me smile. The food was delicious, the restaurant was clean and pleasant in every way but what stood out the most was how helpful and kind these two were. Sadly, it took me a while to write this review and after a few weeks I seem to have forgotten the hostess's name. I can share that she was blond, younger and was filling in at that moment because she made the croissant that I ate. I've never eaten at a Cheddar's before but these two made this experience absolutely exceptional. I left a big tip for Amber but couldn't for my primary hero because she left for a Florida road trip before I could reach the cash in my wallet. I'm hoping her spectacular energy and intentions come back to her tenfold though...she truly saved the day for me!

I actually ended up going there twice this week- once for lunch and once for dinner. For lunch I had their Bombay chicken salad where the chicken is curried and on top of a cabbage slaw with a bright citrus vinaigrette. 3 small pieces of flatbread accompanied the salad along with a Fruit chutney that tasted like apple pie. I ordered an additional side of flatbread which came warm and was quite good with the chutney. The curry chicken is outstanding so I was tempted to have it for dinner later that week but decided to try their Bahamian curry which was excellent- a bowl of rice with curried chicken, sweet potato and kale. My husband had the special which was Mahi mahi Marsala and he raved about it. If that is on the menu next time I will definitely get it. The restaurant knows how to spice their food so definitely check it out. They do not take reservations but turnover seems to be pretty quick particularly at lunch.
