    a plate of food
    Earl S.

    I enjoyed my experience for lunch yesterday. It is clean, well-organized, and the food is delicious. It's typically Southern fare. The staff are very attentive. I really liked the fried fish and the mac and cheese. The price is rather low at about $12.49 a person.

    Dessert: cobblers-- peach and strawberry
    DrGina B.

    I'm passing through Macon with a hungry vegetarian. When I saw this spot, I suggested we stop so they could fix a to-go plate. His only options were mash potatoes, fried okra and macaroni. He did pick out some cobbler to enjoy as well. His rating of the food, in terms of taste (seasoning) was "ok" and that okra was not well drained. The saving grace here are the cobblers-- the bread was light and fluffy and both fruit fillings were not overly sweet.

    Fried and baked chicken, fries, etc.

    Solid country food buffet place. Tastes like very authentic southern comfort food. Friendly staff, good prices.

    Southern goodness
    Sam H.

    OTC is a legit southern buffet. Everything is unbelievable. For $8.99 you can hurt yourself. Nothing is bad. The veggies are fresh not canned. This is the place Golden Corral dreams it could be. They have it all. Fatback on buffet everyday. Go hungry.

    Amazing cornbread

    It's hard to decide what you want to eat these days when you have a taste for nothing but know you…read moregotta eat so I always choose to fix a variety plate off the bar. They had some good choices. The saw shee I don't need but they are always delicious just to put that out there. So I've been seeing these skins when I come. No I have never thought to try them. I got 2 plain ones off the bar as I would inquire about the bags of BBQ at the front upon leaving. The nice young lady said they were brought this morning. I believe that, but my problem is I don't feel they were freshly cooked skins. Both skins the plain on the bar and the bbq which I purchased upon leaving were chewy as hell. The BBQ seasoning was so good. But I can't get down with stale skins. I need some crunch. My dad was one of the best pitmasters there was. I know when the skin came off that hog and it wasn't crisp to throw it in the oven. It crisp right on up for a skin sammich. But you might be lucky and catch some on a good day so I won't say don't try them but for me this was my one time experience. One & Done!

I got a refund & my boys & I went to Applebee's where they always have food because they're a restaurant. Please go somewhere else as Ole Times does not have food on Sundays. Rating is no star.

My family and I decided to order to go this time and we were so displeased. The egg fu yung was full of more onions than egg, the shrimp fried rice had WAY less shrimp than previous ones and the combination platter was disappointing. Due to improper packaging, the prawns and egg rolls were soggy from the teriyaki sauce that was for another appetizer. I forgot the name of the young man I spoke with when I called (2/21 @ 6:06pm), but he was rude and condescending. I no longer live in Macon but my family and friends do. I have and will continue to share this negative experience with them. Getting bad food is understandable, maybe it was an off day. I did not call to request a refund, I was merely calling to express concern. Being rude and nonchalant is not the way to retain customers. Do better Mandarin Garden!

And we ordered fried rice and got white rice with 6 peas in it. When we asked about it she lied and said it was fried rice but without soy sauce. Ridiculous waste of money , time and brain power.

    Very subpar hibachi restaurant. The place looks clean but also very outdated and not very elegant…read more Everything looks about 30 years old. Waited about 15 mins to be seated and it seemed there was 2 servers and 1 chef. The menu they give you is outdated and doesn't reflect their website menu, they do have everything on their website but weird they don't show it. Server was all over and not super attentive but got the job done enough. Chef was friendly. The food was average the salad didn't have the classic ginger dressing which was weird and for the classic fried rice everything was uncharged. At the end we ended up having to grab our own boxes and had to ask 4 separate times for to go sauces.

It was one of the 3 days of graduation so it was an understandable wait. My party was of 3 so we did hibachi with 2 more parties and enjoyed it. Server was amazing and the chef was entertaining and I was so thankful he didn't do any tricks with the food. -Hibachi 10/10 everything was seasoned perfectly; the thin noodles were chef's kiss, just wish I got more. -Albany Special Roll 8/10 good just needed another sauce to me; wish the cream cheese was spread instead of one spot -Spider Roll 7/10 fresh & sauces were good - soup & salad 9/10 best soup i ever had Things to Know: -only open for dinner -gratuity included & depends on party number Will definitely return, but would pass on sushi
