This is a classic old school buffet with homemade country southern food. Carrie was the most amazing server and employee. Sweet and southern hospitality! The sweet team and peach cobbler were outstanding. They had something called barbecue hash that you put over rice that was very good. I've never heard or even tasted of this, but it was a great Creative option that was unique to any other restaurant that I've been to. . This was worth going to just for the southern experience.

Blossom Buffet is by far the best daily buffet in the Columbia metropolitan area! There is a vast…read morearray of differing ethnic dishes on offer - sushi (mostly rolls, but salmon, flounder, tuna & mackerel sushi nigiri are also available), the usual chinese dishes, stir fry & various american staples - including chips (fries to the locals); the beef stew, which is only available at lunch, is superb - and mashed potatoes, green beans, broccoli & mushrooms are available to make a very hearty meal! As for the dessert offerings, there are at least a dozen, plus ice cream. All in all, excellent value for money, the service is also very friendly & efficient - highly recommended!

We will not return - we would rather take the 20 minute drive to Blossom!

BBQ Buffet!? Doc's…read moreBBQ is a must stop for anyone that's into BBQ with a big appetite. The setup here is buffet style all you can eat BBQ and side. YES! All you can eat. What an amazing concept. I can say that the food quality is pretty awesome especially considering the buffet style restaurant. I've been twice now and both times the food was awesome and they don't pull back on anything here. The only issue is they do have some weird hours but for what you get and how they do things it's totally worth a trip during lunch. I highly recommend hitting this spot if you're a fan of BBQ and have ever felt like you didn't here get enough of your favorite BBQ dishes.

Easy to locate with gps though. I went with the buffet and could have probably went back five times. Everything was good. The pulled pork was amazing and they had "real" baked Mac and cheese. None of that fake stove top stuff. I didn't get a pic of my second plate but I also got dessert and second serving of fried okra and pulled pork. For the price of the buffet you get your bang for your buck with a whole lot of flavor with it.

The building is a combination of other buildings that you just want to explore, but on the inside, most are open for dining. And I would imagine in peak season, they need the space! The buffet was delicious, affordable, with beverages included in the price! Service was great, too! They make up your plate for you, fill your drinks, and even bus your table. Conveniently located right outside of Santee State Park or near the Santee National Golf Course, it's an easy trip to make no matter why you are in town!! The buffet is Southern Comfort foods at their best, BBQ, collards, fried fish, veggies, etc and it gets an additional items for dinner. Check it out if you're in the area!!

We were driving south on 95 and wanted to find a place to sit down for lunch but not take too long…read more This place fits the bill perfectly. It is only about 2.5 miles off I-95 at the entrance to the state park. We got to the road with no problem but passed it and had to turn around. It is tucked off the side of the road. As other reviewers mentioned, it is a buffet (no other option). You are separated from the food by a plexiglass shield, and you just point to what you want. Yes, the fried chicken was fabulous, and the pulled pork was good, too. Since I hadn't ever had tomato pie, I can't compare it to others, but it was good. All home cooked food... If you are on a diet, you might want to skip it. The only sugar-free drink offering was unsweet tea as the diet pepsi was out. I opted for 1/2 sweet and 1/2 unsweet. They fill your drinks for you and check on you in the dining area. Banana pudding for dessert? Yes, please!
