I went in there the other day. Had a nice meal. Buffet. Food wasn't too bad. I've had better tho. It beat my expectations tho. They have a small, yes diverse variety of foods. Over all not bad. Pretty good. Service was pretty good too. Will eat here again. read more

What throws me off is they hand you a fork & napkin. No knife? The silverware is available if you need it.You just have to find it.The silverware is the cheapest grade I have ever seen.Very rough edges 3rd world grade.I had a gift certificate for payment. I should be happy.The food a couple years ago was great.The food is bland, not seasoned very well.So sad.......Same grade as fast food. read more

I'm a school bus and while my school's football team was up here from Evansville I found this terrific spot. The food is outstanding!!!! The ribs are tender and tasty, the brisket done to perfection and pulled pork and chicken savory. For a buffet the service was nice. They never let the empty plates stack up and even offered to fitch my dessert. I had the blackberry cobbler which was heavenly. The decor is pleasant and relaxing with several interesting collectables. Can't wait for my next trip up here either in my bus or with the family. read more

Dogwood Barbeque - Round one of two. - Barbeque Near Me - Vincennes, Indiana

It's not the worst the buffet is small but the food is good if you like bbq it's a good place to have something different the people are nice and do a good job it is clean read more

I went to this place while traveling for work. I really like to try barbecue in different areas of the country. I went in and what I think was the hostess just ask me what I wanted to drink and told me $16.99??? I'm asking what am I getting she said it was only a buffet. So that should have been my sign that a buffet bbq place is probably not going to be great bbq. The restaurant seemed like a good place to go if you were just needing a decent lunch place . Nothing outstanding about the atmosphere. The barbecue was kind of mushy and not a great smoked flavor more like a crock pot bbq. Salad bar was ok the best thing was it seemed fresh .(which is important) If I'm traveling back in the area I will choose another place to try. read more

Service no refill on drink no offer of pie. Items on food bar out of potato soup , cornbread , frog legs. Was there 45 minutes items refilled as I was leaving. read more

Delicious! Everything was fresh and delicious. Restaurant was clean and welcoming. Music and light and quiet. Service was perfect. Really enjoyed all the soups, vegetables, entrees, salad bar, and dessert options. read more

I live in California and Amazon sent me out for their Mechatronics program in Vincennes Indiana. And in that time, I had the opportunity to eat in just about every restaurant in that beautiful city. Friends, Dogwood is hands down the best food in town. I absolutely love and miss that place. I went there at least 30 times in three months . If Life ever brings me back to this part of the country, Dogwood would be my first stop. God Bless! bless. read more

The name here did confuse us. It's really a buffet with some bbq items on the buffet. Fried chicken is outstanding and I did like the ham and beans. The ham and brisket were very salty. Green beans were good. Seemed like all of the staff were grandmother types and they were all good and pleasant. They bring you a desert to your table. My wife had coconut cream pie and thought it was ok. We'd definitely eat here again. It seemed pretty popular. read more

Yum!!! I was in town for an event at the university and decided to give this place a try. It was fabulous! The staff here are so very welcoming and accommodating. They explained where everything was, chatted with me a bit, and consistently went above and beyond for every customer. One elderly gentleman needed some help bringing his plate back to the table and one of the staff members helped him out--such a kind thing to do. The food here is also lovely! They stress the homemade aspect of their offerings and are SO excited to talk about their pies and dessert options! However, I had fabulous bread, salads, vegetables, meats, and a fabulous piece of chocolate pie. I highly recommend visiting this buffet-style restaurant! read more

Always fresh food, and friendly staff. They have the best pies with quite the variety, included in the price.

Highly recommend this restaurant- if looking for homemade food! The fried chicken was cooked perfectly, couldn't enjoy the mashed potatoes enough. Delicious. Southern style cooking at its best. We ordered Joy's Favorite, which consisted of choice of two meats and three sides. Fried chicken, BBQ pork, mashed potatoes, Cole slaw and green beans. The food was prepared perfectly, on time and would highly recommend. They have a special door for carry out. Their pies were delicious too! Had chocolate and coconut cream. Both were huge hits. Delicious! read more

The food on the buffet is so good everything has an exceptional quality. The selection is limited however the quality makes up for the smaller selection. The service is impeccable and akin to the "my pleasure" service of chick fil a. The feel of the restaurant is a homey log cabin feel the atmosphere is almost like a home on Thanksgiving or Christmas. read more

Food was exceptional. Great atmosphere. Great service. This was our first time but we will definitely be back. read more

This is a nice homey looking place. The inside decor has a lot of antiques and has exposed wood beams and floors that gives it a cabin feel. They have a large private parking lot and also have a drive thru if you don't want to go in and sit down to eat. You pay at the register for the buffet and then find a spot to sit. It can get fairly busy depending on the time of day. I was here on a weekday around 2 and it was pretty busy. They have a large buffet. One is mainly soups and salads with all the fixings. The other is the hot foods. Everything was fresh and hot. They have the usual sides of mashed potatoes gravy, green beans and then have bbq pork, fish, fried chicken etc for the meat. They have a small area where they have homemade bread also and if you want pie or dessert your waitress will tell you what kind they have and bring it out to you. Our waitress was fairly attentive. The food was just not that great for me. The macaroni and cheese didn't have much flavor. I had the stuffed pepper soup and it was just ok. Overall it was a good experience, just not the tastiest food I've ever had in my life. read more

We love the quality of food, the service, and the surroundings. However, don't plan to go on Wednesday or Sunday.

Ok, someone else mentioned this in their review, it is a BUFFET. They said if they had known that, they'd have turned around and left. I decided to stay and check it out. I do agree, they need a sign out front for newcomers pointing out it is a buffet. When I walked in the hostess asked if it was for one person, I said yes and she told me a price. I thought she was thinking I was there for a take-out order and said I wasn't there for a takeout. She then was puzzled until I looked past her and saw the buffet table and realized what was happening! HA! Felt a bit silly. Anyway, I went ahead and paid and sat down. A waitress came by quickly and got my drink order and told me to go help myself. Since I was thinking BBQ when I pulled in, I figured may as well try it. It was good. Nothing to scream about, just good. I've had BBQ from some of the "famous" or well known places in Nashville and Memphis. This was good, but didn't match up. I had the red potatoes, tried the sweet potatoes, the green beans. All were good. The green beans tasted fresh, not canned. I've tried enough of restaurant food and the green beans always seem to be the give-away item as to canned or fresh. These seem fresh. Would I go there again, probably not. Only because I don't eat enough to warrant buffet style dinners. Was the food good, yes, good, and the price was good. read more

The smoked pulled pork was pretty good and I liked the peach tea they had. Also it wasn't super expensive for what I got and they got it to me pretty quick read more

This is a local favorite of mine!! Amazing barbecue and a buffet to delight all in your party. Then after dinner you can choose from fresh pie or cake. read more

The staff is so amazing. We are from out of town and found it through a Google search and I am so grateful for that. The food is spot on and fresh. The fired chicken is perfect. I can't even list how everything feels like home cooked food and that you want to just keeping eating till you are so full you don't even know if you can stand back up. The staff is so kind and are on top of everything. Don't skip on this place it is a must go. read more

I walked in, tantalized by the incredible scent wafting down the street. I was very excited at the prospect of good barbecue. But I was disappointed. I walked in and learned the place is a buffet. (I can't eat that much because of stomach issues.) so I turned around and walked out again. There is no signage outside that indicates this place is a buffet. I wish there had been. I wouldn't have stopped. read more

BBQ is a misnomer. Don't let the title fool you. It's certainly not a BBQ, regardless of the smells wafting down 6th Street. I was taken back when I walked in and realized it was actually a buffet! Wait what!? Perhaps Dogwood Buffet would be more appropriate. Having said that, the food is decent. Not over-the-top WHOA, just okay. A typical Midwestern buffet filled with mashed potatoes, fried potatoes, red potatoes, bacon soaked green beans, corn, fried chicken, livers and pulled BBQ pork....there is that. A second buffet line is filled with "salad" options; jello, shredded lettuce, potato salad, etc. None of the food is amazingly flavorful, but I will say, both the fried chicken and the cauliflower/broccoli salad are delish! Our server was on top of things in her little Amish style uniform (with her tattoos and facial piercings), keeping our drinks full and offering us multiple pie options for dessert afterwards. If a homestyle buffet is your thing, this is for you, but don't let the BBQ title fool you! read more

Walked in and while being seated I noticed only one hot food section and a salad bar section. Thought this is going to be a mistake! Lol Boy was I wrong ! It certainly surprised me ! The food was very well prepared and very good! The old say is true" don't judge a book by its cover"! read more

Everyone in our group picked something different. All were satisfied with their choices. Great variety and generous selection. Seated quickly and served with a smile. Very polite and friendly staff. read more

Sooooo good!! Everyone should try, no complaints at all and the employees were super nice! read more

Dogwood Barbeque - Cobbler was sooo good - Barbeque Near Me - Vincennes, Indiana

The lunch buffet is awesome! The quality of the food is top notch. The quantity of selections is not great but the quality of the food more than makes up for it. I was stuffed so full, I was unable to try everything. I regret getting so full cause the pies our waitress was tempting us with sounded delicious. I was in 2 weeks ago and was able to order a pulled pork sandwich to go, It was a good portion. It came on 2 slices of homemade bread with sides of onions & pickles (and whatever else you like to top yours off with). A bag of chips and a large Pepsi for under $5. read more

Dogwood Barbeque - Dogwood Bbq - Barbeque Near Me - Vincennes, Indiana

Buffet style - good eatin'! One price for all you can eat. The food is good and I was hurtin when I left. Not a huge buffet like at a Teppanyaki buffet, but for an Amish setting, there was a decent spread. The pulled pork was excellent, but honestly, I found everything to be good tasting, including the fish. If you're in the area, it's worth stopping in for a hearty meal. read more

Great home style cooking. They make the Majority of Everything fresh here every morning. The waitress Kinda was super sweet and helpful. The hostess at the door explained the operation to us as we are from out of town. Fresh breads and desserts are delicious. The pies have homemade crusts...if you've read the other reviews we'll take it from an Okie... it's great home cooking. read more

Dogwood Barbeque - Barbeque Near Me - Vincennes, Indiana

Though we don't get to come too often, this is a great place to eat if you are passing through Vincennes. This place is slightly pricey, but the food is always worth the price. It claims itself as a barbecue, though it offers only a few BBQ choices, however this is no big deal. The lack of barbecue is made up for in other meat selections to include fish, brisket, and frog legs, all accompanied by delicious side items. (Red Skin Potatoes are my favorite.) The wait staff is very hit or miss, but the majority of service is good, though a few of the young female servers my family has had in the past were slow to get refills and check on our tables. Our favorite server is a college age student who always carries Vincennes University lanyard. This young man has been serving since we started coming a few years back, and if he is available we always request him. He is always on top of drinks and desert, my family loves hearing him say the pie list! All in all, I highly recommend giving this place a try if you haven't before. read more

Expensive but very delicious food! Between the salad bar and the regular buffet.. you can't go wrong! Don't forget the pie or cobblers! Always leave so full and satisfied. read more

Amazing food and their ribs are amazing. Love they have a drive thru. The owners are super friendly and their workers are great. Pure selection is a great addition. Must eat off in Vincennes. read more

Not the down home style I thought it would be, I tried the brisket meal w/green beans and mashed potatoes. Portions was small.

Loved everything about the place! Good food! People are friendly never rush you ! The whole place is clean!

This is one of the better places to eat in town. I enjoy the choices of meats and the salad bar. The beef brisket and fried chicken are my favorites. Consistently, the vegetables lack flavor, and taste like they came out of a can (though I was assured that they don't). The mashed potatoes taste like instant. It's pretty hard to mess up mashed potatoes, seeing as the only obligatory ingredients are potatoes, salt, pepper, and butter. I would love to see a little more of the last 3 in there... But, I still eat there at least once a week because of the meats and salad. You'll want to have a slice of pie/cake and a cup of coffee. I usually get the chocolate cake, and it is always delicious. read more

Small place off the beaten path, oh you missed it, turn around and go back. Country charm inside. Small buffet, but had the right amount of choices for the price. The waitress informed us, everything is made in house, from the fresh baked bread, coleslaw, potato salad, BBQ meats and cobbler. If they do not ask you, they do have fresh baked pies in the back, they are included in the buffet price. We didn't know till after we were already full. Very nice waitress, clean tables and chairs, and not too big on the inside. I will be back next time I'm in the area. read more

This place is my absolute favorite place. There apple butter is the best and I love the fried chicken and baked beans.

Come here every time we pass thru Vincennes. Excellent home cooked food!!! And the desserts???? EEEEEYUM!!! read more

We heard about this from a friend and decided to make the drive down from Terre Haute and were pleasantly surprised. The food was tasty and better than any buffet I've ate at before. They do not have the selection that larger budgets do, but honestly the quality of the food is much better than you can get in chain places. The atmosphere was cozy and laid back and the service was great. We will def be back! read more

Their bbq is UHMAZING. And their pies are as well! The buffet is always hot and fresh and everything there is home cooked. Wonderful family friendly restaurant. And it's a must to try the peanut butter spread for the bread, it's wonderful. read more
