This is truly a joint where the locals eat. It isn't pretty inside, but the food and service was both very good. And the price is cheap.

Wow- amazing Southern style buffet. As another guest pointed out, a few trips could cause a heart attack. It might be worth it.

We walked into this place and it felt like walking into someone's half-finished basement. That being said, I had my first real taste of Southern cooking, and damn was it good. The place was ridiculously crowded and my husband and I didn't feel like waiting, so we got takeout. Everything looked so good that we just kept piling it in the cartons, not realizing that takeout was priced by the pound! When we got to the hotel, we ate our hearts out, and everything was pretty much amazing. read more

Staying locally for a track meet & hotel staff recommended this wonderful smorgasbord! Everything tasted downright delicious. Tonia was our server & was extra friendly. She brought us a fresh plate of shrimp & catfish bites. So much food! And the banana pudding is a must have. read more

In town to visit parents and we gave my dad choices for his birthday dinner and he wanted BBQ so we picked caseys. Look, not the fanciest place, but the food is fresh and good and the vinegar based pulled pork is to die for. The lemon breaded catfish was delicious. The staff is awesome and good ole southern hospitality. If you head to the beaches , check this place out. read more

Pretty nice hole in the wall buffet. The staff was very friendly and the food was good (although a bit greasy for my taste, but I guess that's southern cooking in general). The restaurant has a very homey atmosphere - It feels like I'm visiting a friend's home, not a restaurant. \ Overall, while I did enjoy my food here, I will probably not return - Not because there was anything bad/wrong about Casey's, but because it isn't the type of food I enjoy. read more

What a neat place to eat! More than a restaurant, it's an adventure in southern cooking. My first time to try chitlins, collard greens, fried okra and fatback. The homemade foods were amazing. Tons of choices. They even offered to cook us up pork chops in the kitchen. The dessert spread was amazing with 3 kinds of cobblers, bread pudding, and warm brownies. They even passed out warm chocolate chip cookies straight from the oven. read more

My family and I were visiting from Washington D.C. and were looking for some soul food. Stumbled upon this place. The food was sooo good and the waitress treated us like we were family. read more

5 stars is for the food tasting great. I can't stop thinking about the barbecue nachos. However, they ran out of ribs by 6 pm.

If you are looking for unlimited Southern Cuisine this is the place to be! You have the option of Buffett or Take Out. Whatever you desire. I'm personally not a fan of all parts of the pig, but.... everyday there are pig feet even chitlins. read more

Casey's Buffet and BBQ - Kerri showed me true Southern Hospitality. Great first time visit!!! - Southern Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

See all

Very Good Food. Hole in wall location. Busy with a lot of "regular" patrons. A great experience and nice treat, but if you ate here often, you would need a truck to haul you away! What I had that was good. Pulled pork, chicken gizzards, fried chicken, fried okra, greens, butter beans and fat back. Even tried the chitlins. Passed on the pigs feet though. Had corn between their toes! My sons had the banana pudding and recommended it but I doubled up on other things instead! Go there. Just not too often! read more

Good, down home, old school Southern buffet with a good assortment of veggies and main courses. The cobblers are usually good. Always on point with service which can often be lax in this type of restaurant. It's busy and tasty. read more

By far the BEST BBQ I've had in my life and my entire family agrees! Our family has been coming here for years from all over the country and any time we're in NC, we always make it to Casey's Buffet and BBQ! Casey and his family are salt-of-the-earth kinda folks and make you feel right at home. And the way Casey does his BBQ, holy lord! There's nothing better!! If you're remotely close to Wilmington, do yourself a favor and stop on in! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu :) read more

We were visiting from the Triangle area and decided to stop in for a first try. It was a Sunday and the place was packed. Literally. You could hardly move. But the servers and greeters were hustling people in and out as quickly and efficiently as they could. The buffet featured typical southern comfort fare. The food was delicious. Highlighting my meal was roasted okra and a perfectly cooked turkey. Just like Thanksgiving. The sweet potato casserole was a little heavy on the mars allow but otherwise perfect. The fried chicken was crispy and delicious. The service could not have been friendlier. We loved this hole in the wall place and will definitely be back! read more

Man oh Man DO I LOVE THIS PLACE! I grew up eating my grandmothers' southern food, even though I'm a native NYer, and I thought no one could touch her cooking, no matter how hard they tried. Well, even my grandmother agrees that is totally wrong! Caseys' is awesome. Point, Blank, Period. Do not miss the fried pork chops (which you can order even if it's not on the menu), shrimp, baked chicken, collard greens, cabbage, mac&cheese, hush puppies, BBQ, fried whiting...pretty much every single thing is great. You will not leave hungry. Great food, great staff (Jeff is hilarious, and Ms Gina is the BEST!) I recommend getting the Red & Grape Kool Aid mixed together as a drink. Best buffet/restaurant EVER!!! read more

Given all the good hype, my wife and I decided to do Sunday dinner here. If it weren't for the extremely nice people, this would have been absolutely disastrous. The place was very dirty, dropped food on the already soiled carpet, old plastic plates and the buffet bar was grossly picked over dried out. The roast beef looked like chunks of meat in raw sewage. They could have done so much better but really failed. Dirty and then dirty. We really wanted to like this place but it was probably the worst restaurant we've ever been to. WAY over priced for the low quality of food and location. Nowhere near worth $13.99 per person. $1.99 maybe... MAYBE... in a huge stretch.... and that is just for the iced tea (best thing they had). Sorry... we really tried to like it. We're from Wilmington, and this was embarrassingly bad. read more

I lived in Greensboro, 50 years ago, and remember Casey's BBQ as the best. Was it the same people???

Had a great night at Casey's. The food was amazing and the owner just made the night. She took care of us and made us life long customers. Anytime were in the area we will be back! Great food, great service, what more could you ask for? A+! read more

Wow what a amazing experience my family had in this resturaunt. First of all our service was hands down the best southern hospitality I have ever received. Our waitress Lisa was amazing. She told us to try the catfish nuggets n a few other thing n everything was sooooooo good. I have 2 Small children n she ever catered to them. I loved the experience in this resturaunt and deffenitly will be back. Super good food n faor prived n great customer service. That girl needs a raise. read more

Its was our first time being there tonight, and our waitress Amanda I think her name was she told us where everything was and told us what she thought was the best! They have the best soul food not lying! They are so nice and polite. Not too much money way cheaper than any buffet we've ever been to. They have the best BBQ sauce I hadn't even tried Carolina BBQ sauce that much and so far they have the best! I recommend this to anyone and everyone if go here you'll never go to Golden Corral again. read more

Filthy restaurant with nasty and bland food. I'm not even sure how this place is still operating as they must be breaking a multitude of health code violations. They charge you $13 for filth. Save your time and money. Yuck read more

Soul Food/Down Home Cooking Buffet. Everything tastes like my grandma made it. The fried chicken is the BEST I've had as an adult. Greens, field peas, taters, squash, all of it is slap-yo-mama good. Not for people afraid to eat pork, though. The desserts could be better, but why quibble? read more

They are so gross I wish I could give 0 stars the food was over cooked the tables were dirty the staff was nice that is the only nice thing I can say I can't believe the health inspector has not closed them down read more

My boyfriend and I were quite disappointed in the quality of the food, and even more disappointed to see the bill. 13.99$ is not worth the food, that being said, the staff was sweet and our drinks came out very fast. read more

Staff is friendly and attentive. Food is good. I'm actually happy they have a salad bar! I'm not a huge buffet person but they have some items I enjoy. My son likes the ice cream and desert bar of course. Good value. read more

If I could eat here everyday without getting as big as a house I would.

I left my heart at Casey's Buffet. Came to Wilmington, NC for a family vacation and we decided to give this place a try. The restaurant gives off such a warm and southern vibe (new yorker here), and the food was quite possibly the best thing I've ever had in my life! Can someone say slice of heaven?? I really couldn't stop eating, especially that fried whole fish. If you ever see me in Wilmington, NC again, it's probably because I made a special trip to the South, for Casey's Buffet. read more

Current sanitation grade of B 83.5 There were white buckets behind the buffet line that were filthy. The rollIng table behind the buffet was dirty as was the wheels had dirt, gunk and who knows what else around the wheels. The carpet is filthy and ripped and coming up in numerous areas. My seat got caught on a ripped section on the side of the restaurant by the bathrooms. The bathroom is filthy trash can running over. Waitresses sitting and talking. Waitresses look a mess, rotten teeth, missing teeth, bad skin. Buffet plates stacked wet, chipped worn plates. This place is a no. It's a scuzzy place seriously stained old conference room tweed chairs. With foreign substances stuck to them. Who wants to sit on filth with nice clothes. Food was ok but I'm sorry I can't overlook nasty. The glass over the desserts was wet with condensation I'm assuming. The water was dripping down onto the desserts. If the parts of the restaurant the guests see is filthy I'd hate to see the kitchen. No thank you, my family and I will go somewhere else to eat numerous options in Wilmington and surrounding areas. read more

The food is delicious! But it was extremely hot inside , making it some what uncomfortable!

If you are in the mood for some good ole Southern comfort food, Casey's is the obvious choice. You will leave thoroughly happy after partaking in what can only be described as southern cooking heaven. You have to try the chicken salad. I guarantee you will want to buy a pint or two on your way out the door. Not only is the food good, so are the people. You will not encounter a friendlier staff and you are bound to run into the owners who are quick with smiles and love their lives. This is a family-owned establishment and it shows. Get to Casey's and experience the goodness NOW! read more

I wouldn't even give it one star if I could! Went today 11/2/19 for the first time. As I was eating in a booth a roach crawled from under the top of the table onto the table next to my food! I was quickly able to get the napkin feom my lap and kill it. I called a waitress over and handed her the napkin and explained what had happened. Needless to say I didn't eat another bite and told her I was not going to pay for my food. She brought the bill amd a coupon for a free buffet. My husband went to the cashier with the bill and coupon amd said that he was using it today. Needless to say we will NEVER be going back. Where there is one roach there arw more! They don't travel alone!! read more

From the time we walked into the front door to the moment we exited, the service was great! The atmosphere was so friendly it made me feel right at home. The food was amazing! The fried chicken is to die for! When we visit again from GA, we will be back! read more

Would give Casey's 10 stars if it were an option!! Have been going here for many years now and we are never disappointed!! If your hungry for good southern food this is the place to go!!! read more

by far the best Buffett I've been too! my girlfriend and I enjoyed it and left overly full I would recommend this to anyone and I definitely plan on coming back. read more

Casey's Buffet and BBQ - praise Jesus. - Southern Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

We showed up around 1:30pm on a Saturday. It was PACKED, which made us think "well guess this is the spot to be" ...but not quite. Since we had a larger group, of course, we had to wait. (There were others waiting outside with us.) However, we weren't told how long that wait would be. I had to go ask. Different members of our party were told two different prices for the buffet. When they called us in, we were told that even though they had a spot for us to sit, we couldn't actually be seated until after we fixed our plates. The line at the buffet entrance (to fix your food at the buffet) was so long that it wrapped around the restaurant and almost to the buffet exit. Needless to say, we left. Maybe it's because we were out-of-towners that we found our experience to have been quite disappointing. read more

Great home-style southern food. Everything from fried chicken to banana pudding.

We went during our wedding weekend, on Easter, with about 25 people. I got there before they opened and they asked how many we would have and set up a whole section for us since people started pouring in as soon as they opened the doors. Amazingly friendly staff, great southern food, and great price for BBQ. This is our go-to place for entertaining larger groups because there is something for everyone (even the vegetarians can find something they love). read more

If your a person who enjoys exotic finger foods for whole meals, this ain't the place for you. If you enjoy down home southern foods like grandma cooked and waitresses that make you feel like your a cousin then this is your place. Omg they offer kool aid for your drink. Simply luv this place. read more

I ended up at Casey's while visiting family in NC. All of the staff from the moment we walked in were super friendly. The food was delicious! The only thing that was lacking was the dessert area and I think it's because no one makes it there due to all of the delicious food. If I am back in the area again, I'd definitely go again. If you like that "at home" feel, this is the place to go. read more

Best fried chicken and southern food in Wilmington. Super nice staff and its all you can eat.
