Every time we visit Wallace, NC, we have to stop here! This is the kind of old-fashioned, homey restaurant that feels like you're walking into someone's kitchen for a good, comforting meal. The atmosphere is definitely old-school and has more of a cafeteria feel, but honestly, that's part of what makes this place special. The food is what keeps us coming back. Everything tastes like genuine Southern home cooking, and my absolute favorites are the smothered pork chops and BBQ ribs--both are so good and full of that down-home flavor you just can't beat. It may not be the fanciest place, but that's not why you come here. You come for the delicious food, generous portions, and that warm, grandma's-cooking feeling. Every time we're in Wallace, this is a must-stop for us. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for real, comforting Southern cooking! read more

Food on buffet was cold and not great. Lighting on some of the buffet was non-existent. The waitress could care less. The sanitation score was 81. The only positive thing was an 80 yr old birthday so they were having a gospel sing. read more

We happened to see this restaurant when looking for a place to eat. It is the best soul food!! I grew up eating this kind of food and miss it. It is buffet and the cost is reasonable. Lots of different vegetables, salad bar and different meats to choose from. Will definitely make the trip back to eat here. A good Sunday drive read more

The outside gives a farmhouse feel, the inside gives a cafeteria feel. The service was great, everyone was super kind. The website showed closed but it was open. The food was very....: interesting. Not a lot of effort put into it. Reminds me of school or nursery lunches. Just cooked and put out, the salisbury steak had a weird flavor, i had to stop eating it. The chick was not juicy at all. The best thing was the hush puppies and chili. Maybe its different on other days (i came at 12 on monday). I will not be revisiting. The cost was 15 and served buffet style. read more

Great home style buffet complete with fried chicken and far back. Do not go on the first Friday of the month unless you are agreeable to pay the extra price for the band and music! Sometimes good, sometimes not as good. read more

Authentic down home, southern food. Fresh fried chicken constantly. Fatback, hush puppies, ribs, spicy fried cabbage, sweet potatoes, Friday and Saturday they have fried seafood and Sunday they have turkey wings, meatloaf, banana pudding, along with everything else. On Saturdays and Sunday they do a full breakfast starting at 7 AM. The best you've had. Always check with them to see what the is on the bar and they do catering as well.

We were passing through on our way home from a trip to the beach when we saw this place. The food was great and the waitress was great. Highly recommend! read more

I don't eat pork so to find a southern buffet that does not add bits of pork meat as seasoning to veggies was refreshing! Fried chicken- 5 out of 5 stars All beef meatloaf- 5/5 Hush puppies- 5/5 Collards- 4/5 Yams-3/5 Mac and cheese- 2/5 just to dry and crunchy Salad bar-4/5 Peach cobbler- 2/5 just too mushy sweet for my tastes. Didn't try the other cake desserts available Service- 5/5 Atmosphere- 4/5 comfy and plenty of spaces to choose from Beef tips- 4/5 I would return! Great food. read more

My experience was not great. The buffet was not replenished and food was not good. The ribs tasted like they were boiled and had no flavor. When they first opened it was really good. I'm not sure what changed. The staff were friendly and they kept our drinks full. read more

Making our way to the beach for a few days we ran across this place. Just poppin in to use the restrooms we decided to stay and eat. The smell of home cooking we just could t resist. My husband says "It's a buffet ." (He knows I'm not really a fan) I am so glad we stayed. There weren't many people eating at the time we went. (1:30 on a Tuesday) Sunday dinner at Grandma's with all the fixings. Fried Chicken, Turkey, baked chicken, ribs, pork, Chicken n Rice ... Cabbage done 2 different ways, collards , black eye peas with stewed tomatoes , yams , sweet potato casserole, navy beans , succotash, Lima beans, Plus a full salad bar. The one thing they were missing was mashed potatoes. ( Cream potatoes if your from NC ) I ask the lady taking care of the bars if they had MASH potatoes and she said no not today. I didn't think another things about it. Just loaded up on more collards and sweet potato casserole. About 15 or minutes later our server and another lady comes to our table with GUESS ... yes cream potatoes a bowl for me and my husband. Oh my word if that ain't Southern Hospitality I don't know what is. That deserves more than Yelps 5 stars . They were pipin hot and so good . I can not recommend this place enough. It was exceptionally clean and the food is oh so good. read more

Best southern food! Fresh ingredients and by far best fried chicken! Great customer survive and friendly staff.

If you are looking for a country breakfast/lunch buffet, this is your place. We are in Wallace for a wedding and happened upon this place for breakfast. They have made-to-order eggs and pancakes. The pancakes are fluffy and hand brushed with butter before coming off the griddle. Large selection of breakfast and lunch items, fresh and hot. Fried chicken was incredible, a must try. Staffs are friendly and the buffet is well kept and clean. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a hearty country meal in Wallace NC! read more

Sensation Farmhouse Restaurant - The pancakes and eggs were amazing. Crispy tater tots and great breakfast meats selections. - Buffets Near Me - Wallace, North Carolina

The food was definitely down home cooking. Momma must have been cooking in the back. Ribs were falling off the bone and had a sweet bbq sauce. Fried chicken was moist and perfectly seasoned. The only issue I had was that the mashed mashed potatoes didn't have much salt and pepper. There were several selections of cake, but the best was a zinger cake. It had a strawberry frosting with coconut sprinkles. I also tasted the chocolate cake and the frosting tasted homemade. The spice cake was good as well. Yes I tasted all 3 just to figure out which was the best. Of course the zinger cake was the winner with its fresh strawberry topping and coconut. The price was right to which was $11 per person for lunch. Drinks are separate. But it's still a steal of a price. read more

Great restaurant, our first visit and we were very pleased good food, good value only exceptions were the service very inattentive and collards were mushy. read more

We stopped here around 11am for the first time. Let's start with the pros: the fried chicken was very good, and there is a very nice man at a grill making eggs to order. The buffet looked clean and so did the bathrooms. Cons: when we arrived, we were greeted by a woman who was eating a sausage link with her hands and took a personal phone call on her cell phone via Bluetooth headset around her neck. She helped us while simultaneously talking on her phone and talking with food in her mouth. Tables had very old and grungy looking hot sauce and pepper bottles. Sanitation score was an 87%. Other than the eggs and chicken, the food was eh. read more

Yum, fresh delicious food and friendly staff! What a find! Our kids loved it too. Be prepared, cash only. read more

Loved the food but it's nasty. Everything is greasy sticky and they have an 85/Grade B. Had to go through dinnerware to find clean pieces, table had not been cleaned between diners and they were not too busy. Staff was sitting and talking and we had to ask to have table cleaned. I worry about the safety of eating there so won't be going back unless it gets cleaned well and the grade goes up. read more

This food was horrible and they never restocked anything the food had hairs in them an tasted horrible an the ketchup was spoiled and it was so hot and the service was horrible the only reason there's 1 Star is because I can't do 0 I don't recommend you to go there. Food Service Health Grade 80, don't waste your time or money read more

Nice place to stop for soulfood buffet! Everything on the buffet taste like it came from grandmas kitchen. Staff is really friendly! Buffet prices are inexpensive. The environment is welcoming and areas are well lighted. If you want country comfort food this a must try ! read more

The sanitation grade is still 83.5 months later. The waitresses are friendly. The kitchen staff who come out to replenish are not friendly 2 older ladies specifically. Came in on a Saturday night at 6pm and had to ask for several items to be replenished & no desserts were on the bar. Lady came out and poured hot water into dry pasty looking black eyed peas in an attempt to revive them. Unacceptable. read more

Food was delicious. Fried chicken moist and skin was crispy. The macaroni tasted like the Filipino version I'm used to. read more

Sensation Farmhouse Restaurant - Stopped here for lunch on the way to Myrtle Beach. Yelp recommended. Food was delicious - the fried chicken was very moist. - Buffets Near Me - Wallace, North Carolina

Thank heaven for southern food. It's convenient location and ample parking made it appealing but I still wasn't sure. I had heard this was going to be the new family spot for breakfast but I still was skeptical. I arrived to a friendly greeting and reasonable price for a breakfast buffet. I was happy to see eggs several types of ways but my only concern was the eggs with cheese( real cheese). Everything was freshly made and hot straight from the kitchen. I wanted to go back and kiss the cook but I figured I would just tip the waitress well. I loved the fresh fruit that looked like it came straight from the garden. I loved the fact that the staff was friendly, restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was welcoming. I must say my family has found a new meeting spot for our family breakfast. read more

We brought my parents here for mother's day and had a great time. It is affordably priced and has a great variety of southern items and tasty desserts. There were a few items that were a little cold and needed freshening up, but overall the food was great. The fried chicken was a special hit! This is a great places for groups and events. read more

I don't typically write reviews but after eating here I felt like it was necessary. This was honestly the worst food I've ever ate, my husband also heard the staff openly complaining about other customers. It felt like there was zero "care" put into the food or service. Let's see how cheaply we can make this food and it showed. read more

This has been my second time coming to Sensation's. I had quite a few choices for my meat free day. I chose both breakfast, and lunch option. I ordered a veggie omelet. By far the best omelet I have ever had. I also had great pancakes made to order. They were nice and fluffy. The customer service was amazing. Everyone was friendly. The waiter came by to check on us several times. I will be back the next time I'm in town. read more

I have heard all the wonderful stories about the food at Sensation's. I can't for the life of me see what everyone is talking about. The lady at the register was taking a personal call while I was trying to tell her I wanted two buffets. She smiled and kept on talking. The place was extremely hot. Hotter than it was outside. Thats pretty bad. I get the hometown feel they were going for, but in August without the a/c going was a bit too much. I pushed forward and wrote off the issues I just mentioned. We paid up and were ready to eat when the hostess tells everyone there that they had a huge order for chicken and they didn't have any ready for us. She said it would be ready in about 15 minutes. You have to realize this is 11:45 on Saturday morning and the people coming there are ready to eat. Had she it off the phone before I paid and told us that there wasn't any chicken I would had left. Again, I wrote off the third Oman and moved on to eat whatever was available. The food absolutely sucked. I tried to eat the fish that they had and could not do it. The person that made the fish dipped it in batter and then buried under a mound of salt. It was beyond salty. My wife was facing the kitchen door and she noticed one of the cooks came out into the dining area and was talking to a waitress while eating a piece of chicken. We were there for just over 30 minutes. What was that all about? The only thing that was good in this place was our waitress and the chocolate cake. Everything else was terrible. I gave it two stars when I probably should've just done one. We ate what we could and when we left there still wasn't any chicken out on the line. Go there if you want to, I don't recommend it at all. read more

Horrible service, very limited variety of meats very dry over cooked chicken, chicken and pastry, spaghetti, porkchop that looked deep fried and meatballs. No mac n cheese, no potatoes. Waitress never refilled our drinks after asking for more. Dessert consisted of yellow with chocolate icing, yellow cake with pink icing and yellow cake with white icing. Marking this place off our list. read more

Stopped in for dinner on our way to the beach after seeing good reviews on Yelp. Wow, I was amazed with how good this was. I like my meals with lots of vegetables, so I tend to be a bit skeptical of southern food's emphasis on "meat and fried," but Sensation provided a huge variety of vegetarian options, including many types of beans, rice, peas, green beans, and mac'n'cheese. Added some seafood, hush puppies and a slice of lemon cake for dessert, and my belly came away verrrry happy. All for a total of $23 to cover both my spouse's and my meal. Extremely satisfied, hope to be back soon! read more

Everything I tasted was well-prepared and delicious. If you go and they are cooking pork chops on the grill, get one. It was one of the best I have ever eaten. The sweet potatoes were fresh, not from a can. Delicious biscuits, vegetables, ribs, and neck bone rounded out the selections I tried. The desserts were good, but not special. I am looking forward to my next visit. read more

Best breakfast buffet I've ever had! Grits, eggs, smoked sausage, country sausage, pancakes, French toast....I would have taken a picture but I couldn't stop eating. All this food plus a very friendly staff. A very good combination. read more

Delayed review, but wanted to write it, still. August 2018, stopped in on our return to metro-Atlanta. Food was delicious, flavorful and hot. Friendly hostess and wait-staff. Cost point was most reasonable. We would gladly feast at this fine dining establishment again. read more
