Large selection of great comfort food. I had the hot bar. Everything was fresh . Very clean restaurant and all the wait staff was very pro active to my needs. I'm going back next week and bring my neighbors. read more

Decent food, nice service and very affordable. We came here today to celebrate my mom's birthday and I am sure everyone enjoyed their food. I don't like buffets but they have a nice salad bar and plenty of options to choose from. The bake chicken and rice was good and I enjoyed the yeast rolls read more

Western Sizzlin - Steakhouses Near Me - Spruce Pine, North Carolina

-----SERVICE ANIMALS NOT WELCOMED---- I'm visiting spruce pine from out of state, my husband and I decided to swing into this restaurant for dinner. We got in line and paid for our buffet with my service Dog and then we went to our seats. I was in to much pain to do much walking so I was seated with my dog and my spouse went to get our food. I did have my dog on my lap for a second to assist me when a snarled white woman with blond hair ( looked to be a manager ) came over and nastily asked about my animal.. I expect to be asked that's fine but not with an air of complete disgust. I politely answered her question even given her more details that I'm legally required to give and she walks away... My husband hears her talking with another manager that if my animal does one thing out of line she would kick us out immediately.. by law we are to be given at least a warning to get my animal under control before this action is taken.. and if I have to remove her then the business is still required to serve me and my party.. but this woman made it clear she wanted us GONE... The entire meal she had ever wait staff watching us ALL THE TIME..even coming to our table every few seconds to do something.. fill drinks ect.. even though obviously we literally just sat down and our drinks were full and no matter how many times we declined they kept coming literally seconds apart.. one literally just came to our table to give us a empty glass of just ICE. Fuckin WHY?? then out of nowhere this manager returned to our table to give us refills and when my husband said no she said well just let me fill it anyway... WTAF?? IT was like they were both trying to make us extremely uncomfortable and trying to get my service animal to react.. They definitely succeeded in making me uncomfortable But my animal remained chill and ignored everyone.. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS PLACE.. I just wanted to enjoy a nice meal with my spouse for our anniversary.. read more

See all

We were SO HAPPY to see they're still in business. Food was even better than we remembered! Super friendly staff & excellent service.

Blast from my past, this location did not disappoint! Plenty of variety, food was hit, and most importantly, the restaurant was CLEAN!

well for people that cannot have beef or pork or fried, there was no other options on the buffet for meat to go with our meal, after being told they have grilled chicken on the bar. We ended up eating veggies for our meal. There needs to be more options of meat grilled or baked, everything else was great. read more

We arrived about 6 on a Saturday night. The place was really hopping but the entry was quick and efficient. Our server brought our drinks within a few minutes and replaced our buffet dishes, always with a smile. I had expected more entrees but what I had was very good. I didn't see a carving station they've apparently had on other nights. The pulled pork was delicious and the molten chocolate cake did not disappoint. Overall it was a fun night and worth the price. read more

Fabulous meal! I had the burbon salmon and my boyfriend had the beef tips. Both were excellent! Service was great as well!

Awesome food. Buffet food was hot and filled. Place was packed. Way better than Golden Corral.

Food was great and the service was great will be back the food bar had so much to choose from and the dessert was amazing

This place is absolutely fantastic. I would definitely recommend eating here, it's great for family eating and even just 1 person. The service is usually good and waiters are always nice. read more

Great selection. Needs a few updates the restrooms are very tiny and odd. But I will say the staff is always pleasant and they keep the bar hot and fresh. If they ever mess an order up management does a great job making it right. They always take care of their customers. It does get quite busy and the layout of the front doesn't allow a lot of room for waiting at all. It can be very awkward and cramped. read more

Food is good, servers are awesome. Buffet gets a little redundant but steaks are decent. Nice family atmosphere.

Food: great! Ordered 6oz steak tips with mushroom and a baked potato. Tips were to cooked to order( med well) and well seasoned. Food came out hot and with Texas toast. Our other order was hamburger steak with mushroom gravy and fries. Also good. Waitstaff was attentive and pleasant. Pretty busy for 4pm on a Saturday. Good place if want good food and quick service; reminds me how the Western Sizzlin was the place to eat back in the 80's which is a good thing. read more

The food is always fresh, and the service is phenomenal. We absolutely adore the manager, Ronnie, and he always has a great staff working for him. The roads are a must try, and ice cream machine is always working! read more

I love the Western Sizzlin the bar is delicious but you can also get a great steak from them that is cut fresh daily. My family eats here at least once a week read more

Quantity over quality is the name of the game here. Food is oversalted and often overcooked but is hearty and the buffet is varied and all you care to eat. As the local area goes, this is probably the best option for a party with kids who want a more elaborate meal than fast food or diners who don't like ethnic options. However you could get a much nicer meal for the price in Hickory or Asheville, and if price isn't a factor, consider the Little Switzerland Inn. The Tropical Grill or El Ranchero are good options; the Tokyo restaurant nearby is a buffet of similar quality to Western Sizzlin but with Chinese food instead of American and might also be worth considering if you're too hungry to keep driving to a larger town. read more

It's a typical western sizzling food hot and plenty of it. Salad bar is soooo good. Arrived and seated very quickly. Service was great even on a packed Friday night. read more

We had been traveling all day and wanted to stop at a steak house. Texas Roadhouse was a hour wait and Longhorn was even busier. Our destination was at least another state away and we just were exhausted. I had my son Google whatever was close to where we were staying and this came up. I told them that we would not be able to be there to get our food until a little after the time they closed and they were absolutely fine with that. They packed plasticwear, all the condiments we needed and our food was hot and waiting on us when we got there. We ended up going back 2 more times while we were visiting. Staff was very attentive and friendly on the phone. Clean restaurant and food was amazing . I could not believe the prices eaither.. very reasonable. Loved this place. read more

Excellent buffet, best in the area . Loved the pork chops. Vegetables very good and not overcooked. Rolls very tasty.

Buffet was amazing. Everything was full and fresh. Cleanliness was to perfection. Staff was in top of things and nice. Can't say enough good! Must visit. read more

Great steak and the hot bar is my wife's favorite. I enjoy their steaks , I ordered a medium rare steak and it was cooked/grilled perfect. It can get crowded around lunch time and dinner time so try and time in between the rush. They have great food and prices won't hurt you either. Salad bar in big also read more

Exceptional buffet! Very clean. Great selections. Everything appeared and tasted, fresh. Waitstaff attentive and friendly. Great pricing.

Haven't eaten here in 20 years (because there aren't any restaurants near my home) and the food was so great!! I miss this restaurant being close to my house and will definitely visit this location again when I am on vacation. The service was great and the food was delicious, as I had hoped it would be. Potato bar was my favorite and the steaks are so flavorful. Please come back to the Tampa Bay Area, we miss you a lot!! read more

Fantastic buffet full of southern staples, really great price for the quality too. I was passing through visiting from Charlotte around 3:50 on Sunday 01/07/18 & after reading some mixed reviews I was a bit cautious, mostly because I am a picky eater & hardly ever liked buffet style dining. However, after about 15 min, I quickly realized it was fantastic and found a few of the previous mixed reviews to be highly misleading. PROS: 1) The cold bar was cold and hot bar was steaming, the bars were all clean, tidy, plus their buttery cheddar biscuits were being pumped out of the oven so fast you'd think Paula Dean was about to pop out behind the ice cream machine and sucker punch you with one- 10/10 better than Cracker Barrel or Red Lobster's cheddar biscuits. 2) The bathrooms were very clean, modern, up-to-date, & smelled great. Not nasty like even some sit down restaurants I've been too. 3) The food all had a unique flavor to it, the salad bar was extensive and had a huge selection, the desert bar had a great variety to it (go for the bread pudding, it melts in your mouth), the BBQ pulled pork was to die for. 4) The servers were extremely attentive & pleasant even during a packed restaurant time. The staff stocking the buffet (never asked for her name- a Hispanic lady I believe) was extremely sweet as well, asking me if I was finding everything alright, and even asked how my day was going and where I was coming from after I mentioned that it was my 1st time visiting. I saw a manager in a dress shirt and tie (a young fellow with glasses) helping the servers clean off large parties that had just left. Kudos to them all, top notch. 5)The restaurant has a fire place in the main room and with comfortable booth seating it felt really cozy & homey. CONS: 1. You have to order your steak from the front when you come in (it's plugged into the buffet price) instead of your server or front a steak bar like Golden Corral, bit of a hassle, but well worth it. 2. You have to get clean plates from the front, but that's totally reasonable when their buffet bars are so jam packed to the brim with food options that i, that really you can use it as an excuse to try to help digest the food baby growing in your belly. 10/10 will definitely be recommending this to all my friends & family back in Charlotte, give it a shot, they have options for the whole family, you won't regret it! read more

So I'm all about my steak. Love steak. I could go on and on but we will save that for later. It was very lit with its swag. As the kids say. Loved the cute waitresses. Can't wait to go back read more

As long as you know what you're getting into - a simple southern buffet - you're in for a treat. Lots of options, clean and nice-looking place, friendly staff, and descent food. My wife was not thrilled. My kids found some options that they liked very much (e.g. bourbon chicken). And I found quite a few options that were simple and good (pulled pork, meatloaf, ribs and more.) 5 stars would be way too much, but 3 would be too harsh. If you liked what you've read - you'll enjoy what you'll eat (: read more

Darren k.. I dont who you are responding to but you must have me mistaken with another dissatisfied customer. Noone spoke to us. We were not family. And your back room was empty. So im sorry. I dont know who you're speaking of. We never asked to have tables put together. There was only four of us. But thank you for the reply i guess read more

Normally I'm very pleased! Today I ordered chicken tips and usually there always tender, not today they are so over cooked it's like chewing on leather . So disappointed was really needing some tender chicken! I also understand some times things happen and this can't always be prevented, so hopefully this is just a one time thing! Because I love Western Sizzlin!! read more

There aren't many places to eat around Spruce Pine that are that good. This place is ok, but usually packed. Tables are not always cleaned off that well, but wait-staff have always been great. If you do eat here I would suggest staying away from buffet. Every time my family and I have been, and had the buffet, we would end up spending most of the time afterwards in the bathroom because of a rough stomach. However, if you order a steak made in the back, it is usually fairly good. read more

Very interesting. Good meal . A little confusing for those who have not been there before but we got the hang of it quickly. We had a nice meal and they have a wonderful buffet. read more

If you want real good Country food look no further then here the Buffett is top notch.

Loved it.. The buffet was awesome.. Next time trying a steak.. Wait staff was very busy. But our waitress stayed on top of refills. Can't wait to return. So glad we still have this Western Sizzling near us. read more

They have no idea what grass feed beef is. If you're a buffet nut, go for it. The rest of menu is NOT and I mean NOT eatable. Spruce Pine has no real place to eat. Avoid this area! read more

western sizzlin' - spruce pine, nc - Kelly Kelly was our waitress today, and she was not only the nicest waitress we've ever had, but she was very funny! She made our lunch very enjoyable!! The other waitress, Rosa, was very cute and friendly also! The food was very delicious. Best steak around! Anyone in Spruce Pine must stop in and enjoy the food and staff! read more

One of the few that are left. The food here is always good, and the staff is always helpful, friendly, and at times funny. Usually this is one of my first stops when i get back from being abroad. I cant say enough good things about this place. read more

The place was packed; locals really seem to love it. The food isn't great, so if you're looking for high quality Southern food I'd suggest a more expensive place. That said, the all you care to eat buffet has a wide variety of foods, and I was definitely able to get my $10's worth. read more

Dirty restrooms...but the buffet made up for it. Great food...and I can't say no to a buffet with fried pork fatback on it...YUMMMMM!!!!!!!!!! read more

We heard that this location was better than the one in Burnsville and we couldn't imagine how. It was! The salad bar was fresh and has a ton of items, the hot bar had a lot more items and everything we had was fresh and good. Fried chicken was crispy on the outside, moist & tender on the inside. Little meatballs in gravy were very tasty. Fish was really good, but I don't like the tartar sauce in the packets, but I can live with that. They had a lot that the other location didn't have, au gratin potatoes, bourbon chicken, the best hush puppies ever, red , potato wedges, steamed broccoli, soups that looked homemade, the desserts were so good, but I was very full (but managed a piece of cake, a brownie and the best cinnamon roll I've ever eaten. If you can't find something on the bar to satisfy you, something is wrong with you. Great food, great service. read more
