Yes it's always a great place and the salad bar is amazing. I highly recommend going there.

OH MY GOSH! Absolutely LOVED this place. Phenomenal food, amazing waitress, friendly staff! Their buffet is to die for! One hour from my house, but we will travel monthly to patronize this amazing restaurant! read more

Thought about steak all day we drove 2 hrs and found out y'all are not doing states on Sunday.What a disappointment , but we ate anyway , but we'll see you the sad Saturday before you open christmas read more

Just so so our last visit. Super busy and slow service. Food was hit or miss--especially considering the prices. read more

Great food, very cool ambience. UPDATE: I don't know what happened in 1 weeks time but definitely not even close to the same food I ordered last week. I had chicken tenders the first time I ordered that were the best I had had in a long time, however, tonight Tuesday night I order the same thing and I get some frozen chicken tenders, which tasted just like Tyson brand. You could tell that it was compressed chicken meat on the inside. They had no flavor. I was very disappointed. I was looking forward to the same type of chicken tenders I had last week. I could have bought two bags of Tyson frozen chicken strips for the amount of my dinner read more

First time eating here, excited to try a new restaurant. Waitress was good and courteous. Ordered a 12 oz ribeye cooked rare. When the steak came, it was cooked medium and very dry. Waitress offered to cook another, so we waited for dinner while everyone else was eating. When this steak came, it was better, but still cooked medium rare. As for the other food the baked potato came out warm, concerning that my butter would not melt. Of course, it was cold by time the second steak came out. Best part of the meal was the salad. So, for a steakhouse, they have pretty good salad. At checkout, was asked how everything was. Since she asked, I told her. She said she was sorry, they were very busy. I don't see coming back to this feeding hall. read more

The food and service was really good. My daughter said the steaks cut like butter. The salad bar was clean and it was good as well.

The steak was absolutely amazing! Melt in your mouth tender, and such great flavor! The service was quick and our server was very helpful as well. The ambiance was just like you were at home and I enjoyed every minute. read more

So unexpectedly we pulled off and found this amazing steak house near Roxboro NC. It was a few minutes before 5 pm no line. And the smell of fresh grilling steaks was in the air. Went in and got seated on short order. Our sever JoeEllen was epic amazing she knew everything about the menu and the restaurant and history. As someone who enjoys the history of the places I dine that was nice If I'm up this way again I'd stop. The food was great staff wonderful and it has a lot of charm. read more

This was a hidden gem off the beaten path. Had the beef kabobs and they were fantastic. Go hungry, the salad bar is huge!

Grew up in the area, and Homestead always had great food. Moved back about a year and a half ago, and it's gone downhill. Sundays is now a country buffet. Food is okay at best. Homestead as always known for their steaks, and not on the buffet. Supposedly can order from menu, but in multiple trips have never been offered any. Went on Saturday night for a Mother's Day meal (trying to avoid the Sunday crowds). In my immediate family, I'm the only one who really likes steak so we rarely have it, and mentioned I'd really like a good steak. Was busy when we got there about 5:30, and waited about 30 mins for a table for a family of 5 (2 adults, 2 middle schoolers, and 1 younger elementary kid). Sat down, ordered food fairly quickly, and then waited on food until 7:30. No explanation of wait. Older kids' chicken tender plates had large portions, and Little's kid's meal Mac and cheese side was as big as the adult sides so nice she could bring home food. My medium rare steak was over cooked with the meat being almost completely brown and tough with the thinnest dark pink line. Possibly the waitress thought I said medium. I'm not the type of person to send things back, and the 7 year old couldn't wait another hour and a half on food. Definitely wasn't the juicy melt in your mouth steak I'd been looking forward to. Brought the leftovers home, and I'll probably eat it cold because reheated will probably be inedible. We may go again if a group wants to go again, but otherwise I'm good. Wanted something different and special, and seriously regret not just getting Mexican. read more

I've never received a bad meal here, just the opposite and the service is excellent. Amanda E wrote a scaving review about her experience, my #1 question to her would be did you request to speak to the manager on the spot to address your concerns, I didn't think so you took it to the internet which really makes you look like a small person and damages a privately owed business. read more

6 different meals and all six meals were horrible. Even the chicken tenders were bad. Honestly this is so disappointing after having such high expectations from the exterior look of the building and the beautiful decorated lobby. The salad bar wasn't horrible but after that it was all down hill. I should have know it wasn't going to be good when I saw they only had three stars. read more

I had not been to this place in years. The food is still really good for the long drive. I had a very good piece of prime rib, cooked to perfection and very well seasoned. The salad bar is a great option to add to any meal. The place is so large there are multiple salad bars. I heard a few people talking about the Sunday Buffett as the best around. The service was attentive and kept our glasses full. The building is absolutely huge and has the quaintest little country store as part of the lobby. I also know the desserts are great so make sure you leave room. It's a great destination for a family night out dinner. read more

We enjoyed our dinner. We had a group 12 . The service was good.. we had reservations and it was a pleasure to have the space for our group. Thank you for all that you do read more

First time to visit Homestead Steak House. My wife and I each enjoyed a 7 oz sirloin steak. Both our steaks were cooked to the level we requested. The salad bar was well-stocked, fresh and very good. We shared a slice of chocolate chess pie for dessert which was very good! Our waitress was very attentive and helpful. All in all, it was a great experience and look forward to visiting again in the near future. Our waitress told up there is a country buffet offered on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings but can still also order off the menu. There is a Sunday buffet as well but one cannot order off the menu until after 4PM. It is buffet only on Sunday from opening until 4PM. We will definitely plan to check out the buffet! read more

Well the Homestead Steakhouse and Seafood Restaurant on the Frank Timberlake homeplace is at the top of its game. For a great many years, the restaurant and later on, the Timberlake Suite, has been the site of our biennial reunion. Last weekend was the first reunion we've had since new owner Tyler Faucette took over last fall. Our food and our service from Brooke, Hailey, and Cindy was exceptional! This restaurant is worth the drive! Thank you all. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g49600-d863699-r899594687-Homestead_Steak_House-Timberlake_North_Carolina.html# read more

I've had about everything they serve From The Bloomin' Onion To The Country Buffet or A Rib Eye Steak. From the former owner to the new owner. It's all great food with Wonderful staff that seem to enjoy what they are doing. read more

Service was adequate for buffet style. Buffet could have been warmer. Family style restaurant.

The steak kabob was delicious! I was very thankful to not have any reaction from cross contamination! The staff were super nice about asking the cook gluten questions albeit not super knowledgeable. read more

My boyfriend and I tried this restaurant for the first time last weekend - after so many positive reviews from friends,family members, and coworkers, we HAD to give it a go! The salad bar was clean, and fully stocked... the best salad i've had in a very long time. My boyfriend said the steak was 10x better than texas roadhouse, and the shrimp was fried to perfection! Food was hot, drinks were cold, and the service was great! We walked away with a full stomach, and an entire chocolate chess pie to go! highly recommend, already planning a return visit! :) read more

Homestead Steak House - a salad bar with TONS of fresh toppings! - Steakhouses Near Me - Timberlake, North Carolina

We went with a group of 10 to celebrate a birthday. Plenty of parking! Once inside we were greeted, one of ladies in my group had made reservations and we were on time, the man stated they didn't have the table ready, the place wasn't busy at all. So I'm like hmmmm...Once seated, our waitress came around took drink orders and appetizers. She was very attentive with our party. Very good waitress. All of the sudden we had another lady said she was taking over our table, she was rude, told us to hurry up and order our food. She was a joke and needs to seriously work on her customer service skills. We ordered and when food arrived it was given to the wrong people, so everybody had different orders. It's was crazy. I ordered the filet, sweet potato, and mushrooms. OMG the filet was TERRIBLE!!! It wasn't even edible, literally gross! It look like a hunk a meat just thrown on the plate, tough as heck, no seasoning. The mushrooms were salty that they would definitely give you a heart attack at first bite, the potato was soft but had bad spots all in it, was not edible. This was by far one of the most horrible experience!!! I will NEVER go back here. Prices are HIGH, food disgusting!! The waitress charged a 20% she wasn't even worth the 20% as she was sorry as heck. Beyond horrible!!! DO NOT GO HERE! I REPEAT DO NOT GO HERE!!!! read more

The food is great and the waitress are as well. Never been unsatisfied. They are alittle out of the way but worth it. read more

Food was good OH THOSE CHiCKEN BITES Lots of parking Lovely waitress every time Pretty good feel to the restaurant read more

Me and my family love the homestead. We come here often on the weekends and it is always so good. When I don't feel like cooking during the week I order the curbside specials and they are always so good and so affordable. Really love this place. read more

Outstanding prime rib and salad bar! Our service was also exceptional, especially considering how large our party was.

Great food every time we dine there. The salad bar is incredible And the seafood rocks read more

Mediocre food high prices Buffet or nothing on Sunday so I chose nothing for a family gathering. read more

This location was a surprise to us. Exceptional food an a great country buffet. The service was good.. we had reservations and it was a pleasure to have the space for our group. read more

The best part about the homestead is the salad bar. The steaks are sometimes bland but I don't for them. The staff is always friendly.

Disappointed on the Easter Sunday buffet, 1st time i got the buffet too. I was expecting something way more for the holiday for $18. It was a danish ham cut in half slices (i didnt eat) and some sort of turkey or chicken casserall yossed together, pleanty of vegetables, potatoes and eggs salad, mashed potatoes with no gravy! Peach cobbler and brown banana pudding, that was empty. Salad bar was nice as always and my friends ordered off the menu and it looked great, hard learn not to buy the buffet again. Service and ambience was good, but not busy at this time read more

Got there around 5PM on a Saturday night and the place was popping! There was a long line but it moved really fast. We loved the salad bar and our steaks were cooks perfectly. We are bringing our parents there the next time they visit! Great experience. read more

It was a great experience for us. We dined on a Saturday night around 6:30-6:45. We didn't have to wait long. Food was out in a timely manner. Everything was good! Looking forward to going back! read more

We took a party of 30 people. We ordered the buffet. The chicken was too salty and all the food wasn't warm. The dessert options were varied, but all tasted and looked like garbage. The waitress was nice hence the one star. The staff lacked diversity and they aren't following any CDC guidelines. They don't gloves to serve yourself at the buffet and it packed with no social distancing. read more

I've been coming to the Homestead Steakhouse for many years but just now putting a review. They recently (in the last few years) went under new management and I like the change. Even though the prices are a bit higher, the quality of the food is better than it used to be. Instead of having a ton of stuff on the menu that was mediocre, now they have a reasonable amount of variety for everyone (chicken, beef, seafood, large salad bar, children's menu). The seafood has improved even though they don't have a Friday night buffet now, the plates are loaded and very good. Steaks are cooked very well and have good flavor. I haven't personally tried their chicken yet but my mother-in-law got a pretty bad (overcooked) chicken breast last year. She couldn't eat it. My son loves their burgers and they are quite large. They always get us in the door, seated quickly and waited on with great service EVERY TIME! I haven't had one bad service there. The ambiance is country, checkered table cloth, wood paneling but well decorated and designed for big gatherings and small parties too. It's the only place I eat in Roxboro. read more

I've been to Homestead a handful of times and typically enjoy the experience. The restaurant itself is large with plenty of room to accommodate large groups, but they do stay really busy. When you first arrive, you wait until all of your group has arrived before moving toward the hostess stand. There is often a line of families waiting to be seated. Tonight we arrived at 5pm and the majority of tables were already full. My favorite thing about Homestead is not the food but the cozy atmosphere. There is a large stone fireplace that is always decorated for the season, stained glass chandeliers, and wooden hutches with decorative plates lining walls throughout the rooms. This is not a steakhouse you need to dress up for. It's really casual and family friendly. Our service tonight was particularly good. The waiter was friendly and attentive. Food and drinks were brought out in good time considering how busy it was. I ordered the small ribeye with a baked sweet potato. My husband ordered the large filet with a regular baked potato. And we both helped ourselves to the salad bar, which is included with entrees. The salad is bar is nothing fancy - iceberg lettuce, a few veggies to choose from, shredded cheese, diced eggs, tiny croutons, cubed ham, and some macaroni and potato salads. The ranch dressing is very yummy. They also have homemade sliced bread and hoop cheese, which I don't find to be that amazing, but it seems a lot of people really like it since they ask that you limit yourself to one slice of cheese. Unfortunately, the little girl in line in front of me was getting scolded for putting her hands on multiple plates of cheese, so that didn't exactly make me thrilled about it eating it either. The steaks are pretty good. My ribeye was cooked to the doneness I asked, and although there was a bit more fat than I liked on it, the flavor was nice. The sweet potato tasted good with the cinnamon and sugar and butter provided. Others at my table ordered the fried flounder and seemed really pleased. The fried mushrooms were passed as an appetizer, and I've had better. They weren't very flavorful. Food: 3.5 Atmosphere: 5 Service: 5 Noise level: medium, easy to have a conversation but not super intimate read more

The salad bar was good. 6 of us ordered steaks. We got there at 6:00 and didn't get our food until 8:45.

Delicious steaks and a salad bar that is rare these days. Staff is very good. Everyone at my table was pleased.

A group of us went, and I was excited about a new place.. it's huge and looked really cool. Salad bar wasn't bad, they offered a seafood buffet option, it looked all fried. But most of us ordered steaks, half ribeyes, half filets. Everyone's steak was overcooked. All of us. If you're going for steaks, I'd go elsewhere. read more

It's been a few years since we've been here and decided to come for Easter for their buffet. It's was busy as can be and we were so glad we got there early as we watched the food line get longer and longer by the minute! Unlike some of the reviews, we enjoy the food and the decor. The first time we ever ate there we were seated on a recreated front porch. We enjoyed it so much we ask to sit there every time! They actually have two porches, but we prefer the one that looks out over the main dining area. It's complete with stairs made of stone, railing, and even a tin roof overhead, as well as stained glass windows. Speaking of stained glass there are lots of stained glass hanging lamps throughout the restaurant, which added to the wood and fireplaces it really makes it a comfortable and homey place! The Sunday buffet is about $13.00, which includes your drink. There's a make your own salad, plus a seven layer salad, fruit salad, and usually a macaroni salad and pasta salad. There's a number of vegetables and sides to choose from like butter beans, green beans, mashed potatoes (they added sweet pickles for a very unusual flavor!) and several meat choices like fried chicken, ham, beef tips, and turkey and dressing. There's two sides to the buffet line and both side have just about the same choices except maybe one or two different salads, veggies, sides and meat choices. At the end of the buffet are a variety of desserts to choose from. The service is prompt and most of the wait staff is very friendly. Since it was Easter and so busy the staff was running their tails off and didn't have a lot of time for conversation, but normally will stop and chat if you want. I've only been for the Sunday buffet so can't speak to the regular menu or the seafood buffet they have on Friday nights, but would like to give it a try. read more
