Let me start by saying that this place was super busy and I experienced why. It's very welcoming as you drive up, definitely a place the locals go to - many servers knew customers by name. When you walk in, they make you feel like family. The service was excellent. We ordered three drinks and three buffets which totaled $63.48. We waited about 10 minutes for a table before the Hostess took us to our table and brought us our drinks. The food was amazing, and the cabbage was my favorite. It was the BEST thing on the menu. The good: Fried chicken wings Cabbage Fried Fish Mashed Potatoes/Gravy Pulled Pork The bad: Mac and cheese - it was awful Okra (too Slimy) Chicken Livers (overcooked) Unfortunately, the foods are mostly fried items. The desserts were average- they had slices of vanilla cake, strawberry cake, banana pudding, ice cream and Jello. If you are really hungry, this is the place where you can eat good, home cooked southern food. B+ read more

Fuller’s Old Fashioned BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Pembroke, North Carolina

See all

I just moved here for college and decided to go try a local spot. Online they're all about "old fashioned barbecue". Let me tell you, this was not it. Everything I ate seemed to be frozen at some point. Nothing "fresh" or made from scratch in the joint. The food wasn't bad per se but it definitely wasn't what I was expecting. Especially for a hefty price of $18 for the dinner buffet. Definitely not going here again, not the worth the money. read more

Food use to be good, how is it located in the south and no southern hospitality?? environment wise employees with ATTITUDES... it's also a hit or mess with the food. Sometimes it be good other times not worth a dime. Maybe the Fayetteville location is better but pembroke lost me. read more

Fuller's is a local favorite and been in business for many years. The food was delicious, hot, and had plenty of food to choose from. They have a nice dessert bar. The staff were polite and friendly. The restaurant was clean. Stop by and give Fuller's a try you can't go wrong. read more

Staff was super nice and helpful! And the buffet had a good variety of traditional southern style entrees and a nice assortment of vegetable dishes. Would definitely recommend for a nostagic dinning experience. read more

My daughter and I decided to eat dinner at Fullers tonight... The service was horrible. The waitress never came to the table after the first time of putting our drinks on the table to see If we needed refills until my daughter got the bus boy's attention... The buffet was quite cold... They were shutting down everything before asking us if we wanted anything else to clean. They cut off the icecream machine... This was a Friday night... I had expected so much more great services than what we received... read more

When you walk in they make you feel like family. It's like, "Mama cooked a whole lot of food, you better come hungry." Grab a plate and pile it on (and then go back for seconds). The hush puppies are better than any others I've tasted. The service is excellent. read more

Fuller’s Old Fashioned BBQ - After I piled in on they told me I could just go back for more. LOL - Barbeque Near Me - Pembroke, North Carolina

Such a yummy place with good home cookin. The greens were great, okra was yummy, food was all hot and fresh. Clean location as well. Service was good as well. Always a staple when we are in town. Can't go wrong. read more

Food is always supper fresh. Service is super quick, and relaxing. You pay before you eat. Not super crowded unless it's a Sunday. My favorite is the unlimited rice. That's my comfort food. read more

The best cooked old country style food in Robeson County. The restaurant had green collard greens, fat back, cornbread, biscuits, delicious fried chicken, stew beef and rice. And dessert line absolutely delicious. The service was great, and waiting area is clean. A five star restaurant. read more

I didn't expect much from a restaurant in Pembroke --much less a buffet. The food was hot, and decently well prepared. The bottomless buffet is good value. There are a decent variety of southern options, including a salad bar; but you best like chicken if you're looking to get your fill. The iced tea could have been stronger, and I'm not keen on eating on plastic plates on a paper advertisement placemat. Service for beverages was prompt, but the line for the buffet could have been better organized. People were coming down on the food like vultures. Otherwise, the tables are properly spaced -- good enough to be heard in a conversation; and the decor adds a small town feel. I reckon I'll stop here again. read more

Down home southern cooking, good friendly service. Reasonable prices, suggest add topping for ice cream station. read more

Needed to stop somewhere for lunch after our UNCP tour and had read good things about Fuller's. Very welcoming as you drive up, definitely a place the locals go to - many servers knew customers by name. You pay at the front door - ordered two drinks and two buffets, total was $23.52. Hostess took us to our booth and brought out drinks over soon after. Our server, Miss Deb, was a wonderful lady that asked us where we were from and told us that she likes to look out for the college students who are away from home. We really loved her and got a big hug from her when we left! On to the food - very mixed bag. The good: Fried chicken Biscuits (I didn't eat any, but daughter said they were good) Hush puppies Corn bread cakes Popcorn shrimp Salad bar (chicken salad very good!) The bad: Mac and cheese - it was awful Okra The meh: Desserts - they had slices of cake, some strawberry cake, banana pudding Overall, just average food and pretty pricey if you don't eat a lot (I didn't). But, if you are really hungry, there are things to eat that are good - unfortunately, they are mostly the fried items and such. read more

Good food, good price, service wad very attended ambiance was ok just a little hot. I will be back.

Great food! Literally the best soul food I have had and I love that it's buffet style, so I can get as much as I want. Everything was seasoned to the T. The mashed potatoes and stew beef was so delicious! I normally don't get to eat hog mogs year around. So I loved the fact they had them as an option. Everything was delicious! Looking for down home cooking, look no further! read more

This is one of the best southern, home cooked buffet. Our wait time was minimal for a Sunday after church. Portions were plentiful, tasty, and filling. Down southern cooking where you're not cooking read more

This is the first barbecue restaurant I've been to that DOES NOT have barbecue! Went on a Saturday for lunch and upon entering, we were told we had to pay upfront before being seated. $13.99 for the buffet, which we were told is what everyone gets. We were not informed that they had run out of barbecue the day before. how does a barbecue restaurant run out of barbecue?!? The buffet is unmarked so you get to guess what the dishes are, and as our luck went, chitlins were on our plates- we had no clue what it was until after eating a bite and wanting to spit it out, the waitress told us what it was. A school cafeteria is what the dessert buffet looked like, but the school is probably better. Disappointed, still hungry, and pissed. read more

Ate at Fullers in Pembroke. What a disappointment from the one that sued to be in Lumberton. Food on bar was mostly cool. No where near as good as used to be. Hate of time for your money unless just want a buffet. You will be disappointed. read more

The greatest southern style restaurant in the area. The people are extremely nice and friendly just like they were 20 years ago when I was a student at UNCP. The food is fresh and delicious. You can eat as much as you want and the staff is quick with refills. Best place when your looking for a hearty meal. read more

Fuller’s Old Fashioned BBQ - Cake - Barbeque Near Me - Pembroke, North Carolina

Great service great food love the environment people are really nice and couldn't ask for better service 5 stars

Fried Chicken,Hog Mogs and the cabbage is the bomb. I wish I didn't have to drive so far but it's worth it.

Service was alittle slow on drinks and refills, food was very good and a clean facility

The food here is always delicious, this was my first time at this location along with my wife. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the dishes we selected, and truth be told the chicken and dumplings were the best. Found out that this location replaced the previous location that was ruined by the hurricane a couple of years ago. They have not missed a beat the same friendly waitstaff and down home cooking as always. This location is closer to my house than the Fayetteville location so it seems like my family and I have a closer drive to get a good meal. We have never been let down by stopping in for a meal at location. read more

Fuller’s Old Fashioned BBQ - the menu - Barbeque Near Me - Pembroke, North Carolina

Probably a good thing (for me anyway) that the buffet was closed due to Covid or might still have been there grazing. Good varied menu from BBQ to catfish to veges to sandwiches.Moist bbq with the vinegar-y Carolina sauce on the side. Good slaw, mac n cheese, lima beans, fries, fried chicken and, of course, sweet tea. Friendly server read more

9 times out of 10 the food is good. If you are paying for a lot of people to eat. It can be a little pricey. It's about 15 dollars a person to eat but it is all you can eat. read more

I hate to give this place such a low score but I was disappointed with my food. I was so excited to give since I havent been since the business relocated from Lumberton. I frequented the Fuller in Fayetteville when I lived there so I missed the good old southern food once I moved to Charlotte. An event brought me to this location. The chicken was good but the side items could use some work the mac and cheese was so watery it's like almost all the sides were liquidy if I can explain it vs creamy. The bbq still good but the stuffed crab and biscuits were both dry. Maybe it was a bad day. read more

Flavor, taste, volume, this is one of the best places in pembroke to eat. I can't think of another restaurant that I have ever been to that escorts you back to the good ole southern Fried days,..... that you may remember when you were a kid. For the money this is one of the best places I have been in months. read more

There food is the best southern food around. Staff is very friendly! I highly recommend this restaurant!

I thought the food was quite good for the prices. The foods weren't all labeled, but the servers were super flexible in telling us what was what. Also, spectacular barbecue sauce that they sell in bulk. We bought some to take back home to our family. read more

Probably the best buffet around. From the vegetables, meats and desserts, everything was wonderful and tasty. We will be back!

This is my first time at the Pembroke location. I came on Sunday but apparently Monday evenings the have a 2 for $20 (taxes and drinks included) on Monday's! The food was amazing, the stew beef was the BEST thing on the menu, you literally can't go wrong!! The hushpuppies and fried chicken were also noteworthy! The only cons I would say are the yams (which are just ham patties and not homemade), the macaroni (which was cold and didn't look or taste homemade), and the dessert. Other than that, you get a very quality meal for a really good price!! Would definitely recommend! read more

We stopped on the way home from the beach. We had never been here before. The food on the buffet was good. Different meats veggies salad bar and dessert bar. Plenty of variety for everyone. The veggies are cooked southern style so they were soft but really good flavor. The wait staff was very friendly and efficient with drinks. This is a good place to stop with family for a satisfying meal. read more

We arrived at 8:30pm. Sign showed closing hours at 9:00pm. I've worked in restaurants for 3 years. Our last customer was always treated just as if they were our first customer for the day. Hot bar had been turned off at least 30 minutes to an hour before we got there because the chicken was cold and the biscuits were hard. We should have turned around and gotten our money back when we walked in and before we could even sit down (at the only table that the chairs weren't on top of it, ) lady at the salad bar looked at us and asked"Are you eating salad tonight? I guess not when she already pulled the bar and had it all sitting out the ice and on the cart in pans!! The sad part was they had at least 15 workers there, sitting at the booths, standing watching us, mopping floors, breaking down dessert bar, breaking down what was supposed to be the hot bar., with ALL of that help why would you RUSH OUT your customers!! We were then asked if we wanted any dessert and anymore food because they were in such a hurry to throw us out!! I looked at my husband and said ""This is why we drive all the way to Fayetteville,NC to eat at Fullers!! Always great service, foods always hot, even if it's 30 minutes before closing!!! Might need to switch managers for a while so they can retrain Pembroke Fullers on how to treat paying customers. When it's 8:30pm, close at 9:00 pm. We left at 8:45 pm because I was over it, and as we walked out the doors they followed us out and locked the doors at 8:48pm ??? Change your sign honey because you should have locked the doors at 7:30 pm because that's when you turned off everything for it to be cool enough to breakdown when we walked in the door!! Fullers is known for hot food and great customer service, So if your in Pembroke NC and want late dinner pass on by Fullers and go on down to San Jose's where they will appreciate your business!! Worst service from Fuller's I've ever received!!! read more

Worst food ever !!! Disgusting. Not even edible. Waste of $31.75 plus a $2 tip ! The only reason we left two dollars was out of pity. None of it was fit to eat and waited 30 minutes for our drinks and eating utensils. Fullers used to be delicious but now it's TERRIBLE ! read more
