The best secret buffet in Hamlet NC. The ladies sure know how to fry some chicken for sure

Best fried chicken ever. This is an all you can eat buffet - perfect stop to/from the coast. The stew beef rivals the fried chicken - but the chicken still wins. It's in an old house with a ton of character - great atmosphere. It's hard to pick a favorite side - I had pintos, cabbage, fried okra. Everything tastes homemade and not from a can. Don't miss the banana pudding for dessert! Servers come around with refills non-stop. It really makes this a great buffet option. read more

We eat here twice a week because the chicken is better than my Grandmother's. I love the collards, cabbage, fried squash and my husband loves the sweet potato casserole. If you want the best in "comfort food " Seaboard is it! read more

The food is good and hot. Service outstanding with Amy, Michelle and Kim. More than enough food all you can eat inside dining. Obviously the cooks are fantastic but I only know one personally her name is Joy. The owner I don't know her name. She's not too friendly, though at least to me, but I still go there mainly because of her staff and the great Southern Style food. Seaboard is handicap accessible unless cars are blocking the ramp. Which is illegal and should be marked. read more

Great place to eat. Food is always on point. Excellent and friendly service . Best chicken around.

They are always busy, their buffet is down home cooking, and since they are busy the food is always super fresh and hot. It can be a tight fit, not much room in dining rooms, but it's worth it! read more

I had read a review of this restaurant by a couple that had visited several restaurants and they came to the conclusion that Seaboard Station had the "best fried chicken" of all the restaurants they had visited. So, a few years ago, I visited. They were right! I have visited multiple times since my first visit, and about a year ago I had the best fried chicken I've ever eaten. I mean during my whole life, including church homecomings, business get togethers, etc. They consistently have really good fried chicken. It is flavorful, tender and moist. They also have a tasty thin bone-in pork chop. It is a small buffet and they have good steamed cabbage, and they have a good salad bar and I can even "doctor up" their good basic potato salad with sweet onion, hard boiled eggs and bacon bits. I like their carrot cake, but they get that from Sara Lee... but it is good. Their waitresses are friendly and efficient. read more

This is a great place to eat. very home-like atmosphere (obviously) and super nice people and good food.

Fried chicken is best around!!! The crispy skin is delicious! Don't know what kind of magic they are conjuring up in the back but it is worth it even if you live in surrounding counties to make a trip! love the chocolate pie also! There will be a line waiting to get in on Sunday so beat the crowd and show up at 11!!! read more

Heard lots about this place and has to try it out. Not easy to find, but worth the effort to find it. Great home cooking, with specials changing daily. Their fried chicken was lightly breaded, seasoned well, and cooked perfectly. Their collard greens were excellent, as was their potatoes and carrots. A little disappointed by the banana pudding ... was flat and not very flavorful. But the service was great and friendly staff. Give it a try. read more

Good home cooking nice little buffet with a good price. Country food with desert and salad bar. If ya walk away hungry it's your own fault.

Located in a restored Victorian house, tucked away on a small side street in the Historic District of Hamlet, you will find a relatively small, but excellent, Southern cooking lunch buffet. There are usually 2 meat choices, one of which is always Fried Chicken, and on our visit today, the other choice was Beef Tips - kind of nice, just 2 choices, but both personal favorites. There is a nice assortment of vegetables to accompany your meat selections - Lima Beans, Corn, Fried Okra, Turnip Greens, Squash Casserole, and Rice for the Beef Tips. You can chose between Corn Bread and Dinner Rolls, and there is a well sized Salad Bar filled with a variety of fresh items, as well as Potato Salad and Macaroni Salad. The Desert Bar offered 7 or 8 choices of pies, cakes, and more. The Fried Chicken was outstanding, moist & tender, well seasoned and full of flavor, with a softer skin than much you encounter, but delicious. The Beef Tips were excellent, as well, flavorful and tender, in a very tasty, somewhat this broth, all of it nice when loaded on a bed of rice. The veggies were not prepared from scratch, but were very well seasoned, and the Squash Casserole was solid. The Greens were too sweet for my taste, and the Corn Bread was a bit dry, though the roll was super, and the Sweet Tea was just right, not so sweet you forgot about dessert. The salad makings were fresh and tasty, the dressing nice. We tried a slice of Pound Cake with Lemon Icing, and some German Chocolate Cake, both very, very good - and all of this for $19. This was well worth the leisurely drive down and back. read more

Seaboard Station is a great hidden gem restaurant in Hamlet. NC. The restaurant is in an old quaint house which is a delightful dining experience. But OMG to the food! If you love good ole southern cooking this place is a definite must try! This is a buffet restaurant that usually offers 2 meats, lots of vegetables and a fantastic salad bar. The day we visited they had fried chicken and stew beef. The chicken was cooked to perfection and was moist and juicy with a crispy crust. The stew beef brought back memories of my grandma's cooking and was so, so good! Be sure and get you some sweet iced tea also as they know how to make it to perfection. You are missing out if you don't pay them a visit. All of the Yelp reviews are excellent! read more

Perfect southern style food. The atmosphere is cozy because it's in an old Victorian style home.

Nothing wrong with packing on a few pounds due to Southern fried chicken every once in a while.

There is not much in Hamlet. This place, though, is well worth stopping. The fried chicken is delectable, the service was friendly without being vague, and the rest of the buffet was fresh and tasty. I particularly enjoyed the ribs, garlic potatoes (no skins!) and squash. The house itself is worth taking a moment to soak in, there aren't many places I've been to with the character Seaboard Station has. Take a few moments to appreciate it. read more

We just finished eating here on our way back from the beach and it was perfect - my wife enjoyed the salad bar, I loved the hot bar and our 4 kids (6,7,8 & nine-year-olds) with us chowed down on the fried chicken and macaroni and cheese! We'll be back read more

The food here is excellent. The service is second to none. Hot and fresh. Good old country cookin! Prices are good too. Decent selection on buffet. The fried chicken is GOOD. read more

Took a short road trip and we were not disappointed. We were greeted with a warm hello, and our server was very attentive. The chicken as reviewed was very good as well as the vegetables and banana pudding. Our tea glass was never empty and since the outside temperature was over 90 degrees it was especially refreshing. I found that the food was not greasy or overly salty as many country restaurants are. Make sure to visit the Depot! True North Carolina Hospitality. Thanks to the people of Hamlet for their positive attitude! read more
