Absolutely loved our meal! Great variety! We took some friends after church! They hadn't been in years! They loved it and will start going more often. read more

This local restaurant is a go to place for all of your favorite southern foods. A little difficult to find because their sign out front is broken. Picnic table casual dining with buffet. Very friendly waitress. I like how there are so many dishes to try out and you can get just a little or a large amount. Seems that mostly locals only know about it and it is a legacy restaurant handed down from the original Chason. They have some original signage / memorabilia hanging up inside from the original restaurant. First time my son ate some of those kinds of foods like chitlins- he didn't know what they were but still ate them. Nice experience. read more

Fred Chason's Grandsons - All the favorite southern foods all here ! - Buffets Near Me - Hope Mills, North Carolina

Stopped on for lunch, there was a large variety of food and fixings. Service was good, our server was on the run refilling folks drinks. The ambiance was basic a bit loud and AC was not putting out much cool air as it was warm in the dinning area and a bit uncomfortable. They are better than some of the other buffet places, get there early as it fills up quickly with local folks and off the interstate travelers. Cheers! read more

We have been regular customers for years and years, Always look forward to dining here at Chason's grandson's restaurant. Certain times of certain days can be crowded but the foods keep coming from the kitchen to keep that buffet full. We like to arrive on Wednesday or Thursday afternoon after the lunch hour between two and four o'clock. Very pleasant down home atmosphere . Weekends can be busy but still worth the trip. We still cherish our memories of Mr Fred Chason at the first restaurant in Lumber Bridge and the one's that were on Ramsey Street in Fayetteville. Thank you Chason's grandson and all those that keep the legacy of down home southern style cooking alive and well. See you again soon. read more

Great food,service was spot on, very friendly. Will go back even that a long ride. But worth it.

If you want a nice/ affordable southern meal, this is a place to check out. We went for lunch which was $9.99 & its buffet style. They have a variety of meats (flounder, pig feet, chicken (baked & fried) pork chops, gizzards,etc). Also, most sides were flavorful. I tried cabbage, collard greens, fried chicken, yams, red skin potatoes, fish & it was pretty good. My mom really enjoyed & wants to return before we depart lol. Lastly the service was good & the place was clean as well read more

Great food, have a buffet or you can get a plate to go. The staff is very friendly and keep your drinks full.

A simple, nothing fancy buffet of Mac N Cheese, Fried Chicken, and Fried Fish. A decent selection considering it was under $14 per person. My favs were Fried Chicken, Mash Potatoes, and the Fried Fish. The fried chicken & fish were crunchy and tasted very good. Now the food is not heavily seasoned and might come across as bland but that is how home cooking is. Served right out of the fryer, you can season it to your taste at the table. Anyway, for dessert I had Blue Bell ice cream sandwiches and the old school ice cream cups. Brings back memories of my childhood eating these ice cream cups. They also had cakes and other ice cream as well but I was too full by this point. We came here early but this place started filling up when prime dinner hours started rolling around. A good place to stop by for dinner especially if you are on a road trip as this place is only a few turns away from I-95. read more

My aunt suggested this place when we visited her & it was great! Lots of options for dinner choices & deserts. The food was fresh & delicious. Had plenty of seating & we will definitely be going again! read more

Great stop for some southern home cooking off of 95. Great food and friendly service. Not many buffets still open so glad this one is!

Excellent catering service choice for my daughter's wedding reception. Starting from the amazing staff leaded by Brook to the menu for both cocktail and dinner. Everyone was commenting on the delicious food and the amount of food and refreshments for the price was simply amazing! During the entire process from beginning to end, the owner Sheryl was personally attentive to our needs and assured to implement any changes requested. I am very grateful to them and will not hesitate to use their services in future events. Thanks to all!! Delia L.BBQ Chicken PorkPulled Pork read more

F C's G, pretty much represents what a southern buffet looks like. It had all the meats and sides that you would expect to find. Yesterdays visit found the place packed with a mix of familys either all getting together for Sunday lunch or some coming over after church. A couple of misteps: silverware was not filled so there was a wait, after this was brought to a server's attention it was taken care of, and some of the more popular food item's were not filled for quite a while. Some of the stand outs were the delicious fried chicken and bar bq chicken, small fried shrimp and hush puppies. The cabbage, and mac and cheese were tasty, but some of the vegetables, like the corn and green beans needed some additional seasoning. One item that I always look for was fried okra which appeared to be missing from the food line. Banana pudding was ok, but an empty tray that might of held some sort of cobler was never filled was I was there. The price of over $14.00 seemed a little steep. read more

This place never fails! On our way to Myrtle Beach and our must stop is Grandsons. All great food, wonderful service and super location...right off 95 & 301. read more

Love this place. Always great food, and great waitresses. Prices are reasonable. Some times it's a little busy, but the wait is worth it. Best buffet in town read more

I'd truly give them 3.5 stars. Lots of food choices, many southern comfort foods. Collard greens, Mac and cheese, ham, beans of different varieties, pulled pork, hush puppies, fried fish, friend clams and shrimp, bbq/fried/baked chicken, candied yams, ribs, rolls, and the list goes on. Dessert they had ice cream cups, cookies, banana pudding, pies, jello. Overall food is decent. I did notice a running theme of food needing salt. Also there was much variety but much of the food was just meh. Nothing to wow or knock your socks off. The hush puppies tho are amazing. The servers are very attentive to picking up finished plates and refilling drinks. Decent for $12 an adult and $6 a child. read more

Excellent food and we love the country style atmosphere. The waitress that we've had have been very attentive.

So many options to eat. All was delicious and plentiful. I would highly recommend FCG. Easy to get to while traveling, parking was also simple. read more

Great southern food!!! A Great find on my way home to Va from Fl. Would highly recommend!

Great buffet, cheap prices. Fried or baked chucken, fried fish, pulled pork, hushpuppies and all veggies cooked southern style

Food good but lady taking money is hateful and has very bad attitude. I went in to pay and my 86 yo mother started wandering off and had to get her. Turned back around and asked about senior discount. She said it was to late bc she had already rang it up. LAST TRIP!!!!! read more

If you're looking for a family friendly dinner that is quick but also delicious, this is the place you're looking for. The check in process was quick, and the priced for my family of 4 was perfect. We stopped in to FCG's on our drive back to NJ from Georgia. The servers were so kind too. The menu is labeled, so that those who wish to be pork free can be. Also, we have a peanut allergy in the family and I was given the full confidence I didn't have to worry about any allergy issues. FCGs will now stay on our list of road trip staples. read more

No complaints. $21 for both of us. Clean, nice folks, plenty to choose from, tasted great. If we are on this side of town we will probably stop back in. read more

This is easily my favorite soul food buffet in Fayetteville! They offer military discounts. They have delicious country food on the buffet line to include: bbq chicken (finger licking good); chitlins; cabbage; different types of greens; hushpuppies; fried shrimp; fried fish; green beans; lima beans; butter beans; meat loaf; fried chicken. The list goes on and on. They have cakes, pies and cobblers; they also have a salad bar. I gave Grandsons 4 stars because whomever is responsible for making the macaroni does not do a good job in my opinion. The macaroni appears to be delicious, but once you dig your fork into it and put it in your mouth, you immediately realize that something is missing in the flavor department and I am disappointed each time I visit. Grandsons if you're reading this: Find a new person to cook the macaroni!!!!! read more

Only bad thang I can say about this place is that I hate they shut down the only one close to me during the early part of the Covid pandemic

I'm gonna be honest the food was disgusting and cold, I didn't like anything they had because how awful it taste, even the ice cream taste terrible and the service was alright but a little slow and the building needs to be remodeled and it's hot in there. The plates and forks and spoons are not cleaned well. There was roaches in the bathroom. DO NOT GO HERE! read more

This is a very southern buffet and I just have to do this once in a while. This is a good one and I like their barbecue and the very large choice of vegetables. Be prepared to feel thirst because it's salty. read more

It's been over a year since I've been here last, so I'm happy to update my review. I've missed your mashed potatoes! Next time, I won't waste time with anything else - just mashed potatoes please. I'm not a country gal, so though I enjoy a good hush puppy, most of the food choices don't really justify a $14 meal (after taxes). It IS a local favorite; you'll see local "celebrities " here & birthday parties & graduation family reunions. read more

The food here is great if you love southern home cooking. The place is set up buffet style and at a decent price. They specialize in American home cooking buffet style. read more

I'm not normally a fan of buffets but had heard good things about Grandsons. Stopped on a long road trip New Year's Day to have our collards and black eyed peas. The food was AMAZING. There were so many different types of chicken but I chose the barbecue chicken because I'd read good reviews. It was perfect-- moist but not greasy with a great flavor. Pork barbecue was delicious. Loved all the selection of beans -- butter, Lima, green, pinto, black eyed peas. Entire family, even vegetarian daughter, left with happy tummies. Eleven year old declared biscuits the best ever. We'll definitely be back when we're passing through! read more

Grandsons, is one of my FAVORITE restaurants EVER. Located off of 301 in Fayetteville, the food is something you definitely want to try. They have opened up a few around the area, but 301 will always be the first & best location. The prices are good for a buffet with the options they offer, the peak hours are the weekends, and Sunday's with a line wrapped around the building. But, the wait is never to long and for a family of 4 you pay a little over $40 with all waters. The food is why you are really reading this. The options are endless, seafood, pork, chicken, deserts, veggies, they have everything. BBQ, Fried/BBQ Chicken, Deviled Crab, Ham, Mac & Cheese, Chicken & Dumplings, Corn, Rice, Clam strips, Fried Shrimp, Broiled Shrimp, Salad Bar, Desert Bar (endless cakes, & pies), Soups, Ice cream, the list goes on and on. They serve nothing but good quality food. I would recommend this place for anyone who is looking for a southern comfort meal, options for everyone, meat lovers and veggie lovers. A must try that does not disappoint. read more

Service was mediocre. Food was ok. It was only $20 for two adults. Bring a jacket because mostly everyone we came in contact with said it was too cold! They had a packed house when we arrived so it was a little congested inside. It's convenient southern food with self serve buffet. Must wear gloves and mask! read more

If you enjoy southern, fried, calabash style food then Grandson's is for you. The laid back atmosphere and delicious food is great, but come with an hearty appetite. From fish to meatloaf you can find all you would want to eat here. read more

I think I chose a different Grandsons to eat at. My mom went on and on about how big the buffet was and the crazy amount of options at lunch but most of what she said she liked there was not there at all. The ambience is adorable.. it reminds me of visiting my family in Tennessee. Wooden tables and chairs... dusk/lower type lighting. Service was not so friendly at the register. It was actually a bit off putting but I was already there so we were going to eat. The server was a lot more friendly and I appreciated her. Food wise there's a lot but most of the vegetables likely came from a can. I'm not complaining too much because it was still enjoyable. Things to stood out- good sized salad bar! The fried chicken was amazing and so were the hush puppies. Tons of dessert cakes, two types of cookies, low sugar cookies and cups of ice cream. I kept going back for the bbq chicken and sweet potatoes The not so good- the beefy/veggie soup kinda tasted like someone dumped a sour ketchup bottle in it. I felt really bad because I threw the bowl away. The big variety wasn't there- two hot lines of food but only 3 meat choices that was not seafood Overall it was still very much worth the money spent and I found food that I enjoyed. It's worth the stop if you enjoy chicken, pulled pork and country style vegetables read more

We were headed south in I95 and pulled off at. CB, 45 minute wait so headed for the next exit. Just whisper buffet and the man is there. After paying we had a 5 minute wait, oh I think it was about $7.50 each. It's a bit grimy in here, dirty too. Most of the items on the buffet were immersed in some kind of salted water. It's food at an inexpensive level. read more
