Buffet selection was small, more "odd" choices vs some standard items you'd see on a Chinese buffet. Quality of food was also eh, had maybe one or two things that I can say I truly enjoyed and the rest was tolerable. I see now that pricing for what is offered was brought up... definitely an issue. Three people and two sodas was slightly over $70! We could have went to a great restaurant for that cost. It was a bit dark and outdated inside. Walking around the buffet was also tight and you had to move out of people's way. Service was friendly at least. Def would never return unfortunately.

While driving through Rocky Mount, North Carolina, I was in the mood for some barbecue…read more We chose the carryout option, though they also have a full sit-down restaurant. Parking was plentiful, with dedicated carryout parking, regular restaurant parking, and accessible spaces. The restaurant has that classic, small-town Southern Sunday dinner vibe. The carryout area is exactly what you'd expect,small and designed strictly for takeout. The cashier is friendly, and the service is pretty fast. You can order at the counter, and the menu offers plenty of mix-and-match combinations. The fried okra was crispy and delicious. The pulled pork had a nice tangy barbecue flavor. The seafood platter was surprisingly good. I would skip the candied yams next time. Everything else was decent but nothing that really stood out. One thing to note: I was hoping for ribs after seeing them advertised, but they weren't available through the carryout menu. Carryout focuses more on pulled pork and pulled turkey, while some menu items are reserved for the dine-in restaurant. If you're passing through Rocky Mount and want a quick Southern comfort food stop, I'd definitely recommend the carryout. It's convenient, the portions are good, and the barbecue hits the spot. As for dining in, I don't think I'd make a special trip .It feels more like a great roadside takeout stop than a destination restaurant.

I went in and even though the parking lot was full, I was able to go straight in and order. The waitress, was so nice and patient. She was very informative with the details of the additions to my order and the questions I had about them, with a genuine smile on her face, all while still being attentive to the front counter! This young lady had excellent customer service! She said it would take around 10-15 minutes and when I returned from my errand, about 12 minutes later, the food was done and ready for me to view before she placed the items in the bag. She asked me did I want all of the condiments and guess what?! I got all of the condiments. So, by the time I got home, I was so ready to eat, (I snuck a shrimp before putting the bag in the back seat). As I'm putting all of the condiments in the bag, I didn't see my onions! I called back, and the same staff member answered. She said replayed back how she packed the bag and what was in which container. She was not frustrated or annoyed and she stayed polite while trying to explain so I apologized and figured I had may have dropped them in the car. She was so nice and said it was ok and then I found them under the bag! Smh. I had a full lunch experience and I just hope the rest of their staff is as genuinely good at her job, as the rest.

The decor is very outdated but that was ok. It was a bit confusing at first. We were told to go down this line and then we paid but you could order main things separately. We went and picked out where to sit. Our waiter was nice. They bring you four plates and 1 bowl. We found this very odd for a buffet. We had to sit and wait for our plates and quite some time for our waters. Our utensils were not clean. The buffet was little to be desired. It is definitely southern influenced , which is great, but the food was often over cooked and very bland. The fried chicken was ok, but you could tell it was fried in the same oil as the fish. The cleanliness of the buffet was not ideal and the selection was minimal. Definitely do not recommend for picky eaters or children, there is not a variety for different palates. We very quickly realized why the buffet was so inexpensive. Perhaps the made to order food is better. Bathrooms were clean. We are in the area several times through the season but we won't go back. It really just needs a facelift.

They have a big space though there are also a lot of chairs and tables around. Food was good. The brisket was tender. Options for sides include mac & cheese, collard greens, string beans, broccoli, Spanish rice, potatoes au gratin, baked beans, coleslaw, fruit salad, corn bread, yams, french fries, etc. The coleslaw and baked beans were also good. For desserts, we enjoyed the bread pudding and peach cobbler. Would have given this place a 4/5 for food but service was really bad. Food took a long time to be served. This we understood because it was really a busy day. Because the cloth napkins smelled like rancid oil, we just asked for paper napkins. This took ~30 minutes before we got some. We also asked for some condiment. Since no one was checking on our table, we had to stand up and approach one of the staff to follow up on this, not once but twice but some vinegar never came. Though our server Gracie acknowledged and apologized for the bad service, service was still crappy and disappointing.

The sweet tea is southern pucker sweet & perfect!! There's malt vinegar on the table for collards, and the NC vinegar based BBQ sauce was very good. However, the chopped pork BBQ did t really need any help, it was just as good on its own and not mushy. I even enjoyed the yellow coleslaw, it's a mustard & vinegar base and tasty. The Brunswick stew could have been heat hotter, but it had a decent taste with plenty of meat & veggies. I would definitely drive out of my way again to share Parker's with my 15yr old who missed this road trip.

A friend of men walked into this restaurant with a coupon for a free meal but was denied service and told that his coupon was invalid. His roommate walks in with the EXACT SAME COUPON 2 hours later and is seated and given a free meal. The difference? You already know the difference, but for those who haven't lived in America that long, let me tell you... The roommate was a white guy and the 1st guy was an Africa-American. I'm sure some of you will go through mental gymnastics to explain away how it had nothing to do with race, but this is how it works for people of color in this country. This is what white privilege looks like. #sad #MAGAts read more

All of their entrees come with bread, and you have the option to add proteins and vegetables. I decided to go with the lasagna with a side of vegetables. The food took a while to come out, but it was so worth it! The lasagna had tons of flavor. Each bite you could taste the oregano, tomatoes, red pepper, and one other seasonings. One just popped after the other. The vegetables were a little over cooked and sad, so I added them to the lasagna, and that seemed to help a little bit. Minus one star for the server being a little snappy and rude when I asked about the wifi. She seemed to get a little nicer before we left, but the escalation of her attitude while I asked her questions was surprising. Being a server myself, I understand having an off day; but you can't let that mess with you too much. However, the other server that helped us at the end was a delight. I would come back for the lasagna and skip the vegetables.
