I was concerned about cleanliness, but it was packed with folks just getting out from church at 3 pm...so knew the food was fresh. I proceeded. I stuck with basics. I gave it a 4 because the fried chicken and biscuit was excellent, now mind you this is an Ohio girl speaking. ...but living in Georgia/SC long enough to know a bit about mac and cheese, yams, green beans, and desserts, I wasn't impressed. Mac and cheese was just Velveeta and noodle with nothing more to it. Yams floating around in canned sauce, very runny. Green beans from can and not doctored up at all(no bacon or ham). I tried the banana pudding, but had no bananas but could tell the pudding was vanilla which is the right choice. Some of the food was fresh and other items looked questionable. I was happy with my chicken and biscuit. It was a local spot and I appreciated the adventure element to eating there.

The offerings were plentiful but lacked turkey sausage :( The breakfast meats catered mainly to pork eaters. I did stumbled across fried fish & fried chicken at 8:30! In the morning!! I considered this to be good for those who like fish & grits or chicken & waffles for breakfast. Overall, I would say visit if you're meeting a parent or seeking a large variety of options.

We were in town for a volleyball tournament and wanted to get dinner. This place was super close to…read morethe hotel and we love to try hometown diners and buffets. The decor is very outdated but that was ok.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.

I had a very disappointing and concerning visit to Western Sizzlin in Rocky Mount, NC. While…read morepreparing a salad, I noticed two dead flies in the fruit section of the salad bar--an obvious health violation. The floors throughout the restaurant were dangerously slippery, and the rugs looked filthy and poorly maintained. I showed a picture of the flies to a young staff member, expecting some concern or at least an apology. Instead, she casually remarked, "That's why I don't eat here. I don't see how anyone does." When I suggested she alert someone in charge, she simply looked away, handed me my receipt, and called for the next customer. This is not the type of person who should be representing any business, let alone one serving food to the public. Cleanliness, safety, and customer service are basic expectations. Unfortunately, none of these were met during my visit. I will not be returning--and I strongly urge management to address these serious issues immediately.

The black art and jazz music added to the vibrant atmosphere. The bar was snazzy and stylish, a nice spot where you just want to sit and relaxed awhile. I loved the painting on the wall near the grand piano. The food was flavorful and came out hot and on time. Our server was friendly and made our experience even more enjoyable. Rocky Mount is lucky to have a place like this. I highly recommend.

You walk in and the young HS or College Busboys/waiters are lined up waiting to assist. It has to be one of the most nostalgic things gs I've seen in a long time. 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.
