We had never ate here before and decided to stop since we were in the area. Very poor selection of food, chicken strips are dry and hard, fried chicken was til I put it nicely edible and the baked chicken had a rubbery feel and a taste I cannot even describe. The green beans were so over salted that you could feel the sodium build up on the first bite, how can you mess up okra but it was. The soups were palatable at best. Thankful for the salad bar as that is what we ended up filling up on, the desserts are mediocre. Honestly if you want good food, find somewhere else. During the week Holtz Bakery is amazing. read more

Went for bkfst they starting bkfst back on saturday it was great alot to choose from omelets mad to order and the servers were very friendly. Dont the best place in douglas to go on saturday for breakfast read more

What an absolute disgrace is all I can say about it. Not to mention it cost me and my girlfriend $41. No wonder this place never has consistent business. Everything was cold and had no flavor. Will never eat here again. read more

Ole Times Country Buffet - Cold chicken Cold okra Cold grits Disgusting cabbage - Buffets Near Me - Douglas, Georgia

Southern style don't have to be that dirty bathroom so dirty food taste is ok visit there again? Noooooo

Could use an upgrade, a bit dated but the food was so good, I got almost everything on my plate and I'm a fairly picky eater! Everything was amazing from the salad to the dessert! read more

There was an eyelash in the mashed potato's, there were flies everywhere,the steaks was dry and the banana pudding tasted artificial.

It was ok would go back lots of food a lot to eat Service was very good can't complain read more

All I can say is it need more room and reserve area for people that come in as a group and as a family gathering. The food is delicious and the desserts is more delicious. read more

Oh lawd this buffet y'all! We were driving back from some field work in a neighboring city and passed right by Old Time. There was a conversation of, should we/shouldn't we. How can we eat so much then drive back to Atlanta, will it be worth it, buffets are weird, etc. Obviously we decided to give it a try. We were pretty stoked to find their lunch price was just $9 pp or $11 with a drink. So you don't have that all you can eat buffet pressure "to get your money's worth". Don't get me wrong I still got 2 full plates and a dessert plate, but who's counting! The food was damn good. Super Southen, all the sides, all the gravies, all the fried, all the carbs. It's a buffet, it's delicious. Everything you want from country fried steak, to fried chicken, greens, is hits. Oh! and the peach cobbler! Definitely worth it if you're in the area. Just grab a coffee if you are just passing through like we were. read more

Amazing place. I actually sat in there for almost 2 hours, waiting for a load. The waitress was very courteous and kind the whole time. The food stayed fresh, and the ambience was great. read more

I agree with most of the posts that the food is tasty (except the cooked, sliced carrots taste odd), but PLEASE turn up the temperature in your restaurant! Today I attended a Medicare meeting, which lasted two hours. The outside temperature was 70 degrees. The inside temperature in the meeting room must have been 60 degrees, although the waitress told me that it was set at 73. She agreed to turn up the room's temperature, which was not done. I couldn't feel my numbed fingers. I thought I was having a stroke. I realize that the employees are actively working, and probably tend to get hot, but your customers should not need jackets and gloves while dining. read more

I will start with the good first. The food here is phenomenal! Good ole soul, southern, comfort food at its best! They have salads, seafood, bbq, fried and baked chicken. They also have a plethora of vegetables and desserts to choose from. I have absolutely no complaints regarding the taste of the food. On the other hand, however, the atmosphere and service leaves a lot to be desired. Since this was our first time at this restaurant, we didn't know the flow of the place. There were two cashiers who were conversing with each other, and didn't notice that we walked in. Therefore, we were not greeted when we entered. We were acknowledged by one of the cashiers, paid for the food, and found a place to sit. This restaurant is a converted Golden Corral. It has an old rugged look, with the fresh tomatoes at the door, and an office door that was awkwardly in the dining area. How do I describe our waitress? Well, she was friendly, but could use a little more help with her customer service skills. She sporadically checked on us, and when she did, her service was awkward. The cooks, although they were on the job, they would stand around and people watch. It made me uncomfortable to go to the bar, knowing that the cooks were watching me(that explains the poor quality of pictures I took:). The restaurant could also use a fly/gnat zapper. Who likes swatting gnats and flies while eating? Overall, I would be open to visiting this restaurant again. The great tasting food is this restaurant's saving grace! read more

Came to Douglas for a deposition and was told this was the best place in town for lunch. I nervously giggled. I mean, it was fine. The food was hot and decent. However the women's restroom was horrendous! I'm temporarily on crutches and I couldn't bring myself to use the handicapped stall because it was gross. When I went into a middle stall there was grease all over the walls. Also disappointing was the dessert bar. So many choices but everything I had was dry and tasted of straight sugar. Also of note, we were basically stared at the whole time. Douglas is a small town but I guess we were a little much for the folks at the Country Buffett. The hot food kept it from being completely disappointing but I'll pass on this place next time. read more

I'm a little leery of this entry. Not only is the business name spelled incorrectly here (it's actually "Ole Times") but it mimics information identical to another business entry that has a 1-star rating and only two reviews (see the screenshot). Why haven't the owners claimed this one? As an out-of-towner here on business a lack of convenient information is annoying (starting with their hours of operation). I could call.. but I'd rather not return to 1994. read more

Ole Times Country Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Douglas, Georgia

Great food and service. Tea was great and made fresh. Lots of southern items greens, Squash, black eyed peas, ham, etc. Very clean and friendl read more

Well, I'll start off with the good things.. the food was pretty good. Next, the floors had about as much food on them as the buffets. The place was so crowded we barely found a table. Just felt Nasty in there. Even though the food was good, the place was SCARY Nasty. I felt for sure we'd get sick. read more

You know you are in trouble if a local tells you that this is the "best" option in town for a sit down lunch. Either they don't get out much or there isn't anything else other than the fast food chains, which there are plenty of. Having our expectation tamed, the place didn't disappoint nor surprise. It was a solid southern style buffet with plenty of options and plenty of people, ensuring a constant supply of cooked food. They had most southern staples, and bbq items as well. The most notable item was the cheese biscuits, which were excellent. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised about them. Their dessert selection was poor and mostly sugary pudding stuff, only one coconut cake, which was mostly whipped cream anyways. The place was not clean in general; the waitresses barely kept up with the flow of people coming and going. We waited awhile to get her attention for a refill. If you are looking for a place to fill up yo belly, it will satisfy you. read more

Ole Times Country Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Douglas, Georgia

Come with a big appetite! Very good food and sweet tea!! Everyone is very nice. Definitely better than Golden Corral, hands down!

The absolute worst dining experience I've ever had ! Outrageous prices for the extremely low quality of food and service . Floors were dirty , food was cold leftovers . Staff only spoke when taking the money . Not happy with the experience at all . Place needs shutting down and Golden Corral needs to be brought back . 0 stars. read more

Great food. It's like a Golden Corral, only cleaner with better tasting food. Waitress was very attentive and polite. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Typical buffet. Food was ok and there was a lot, but there was no gravy. As we were sitting there eating, we noticed a lady cleaning the sneeze guards (clear plastic covering for the foods) with a cleaning solution. She sprayed to the side of the food BUT the over spray was hitting the food. Desserts were stale. I wouldn't go back. read more

Nasty restaurant. I should have turned around at the door. Dirty, stained carpet at entry with brooms standing at the entry way with produce. Flies were buzzing all over salad bar. Didn't want that for obvious reasons. Did eat a piece of fried chicken that was well seasoned. read more

Hands down this was by far the worst of their locations. Tifton and Valdosta were great.Douglass location had poor waite staff.went on Saturday all u can eat seafood. Fish and shrimp were cold.steak was tuff and deserts were absolutely tasteless.sweetpotatoe pie a joke.would not recommend. read more

I decided to go to the Douglas restaurant on 21 May 2022 to have a meal with my family. We got our table and sat down, i went to make my plate and when I came back one of the employees was sitting in my seat talking to my family. At one point he patted my nephew on the head and was told to stop. He even said some threatening and harassing things. At the time I decided to handle the situation calmly so we finished our meal and reported him to the manager. He asked if we knew the man and I said no, that shouldn't matter because his behavior is unprofessional either way. After I spoke to the manager I over-heard some of the employees saying "if it was a problem then I should have done something right then". I guess I was supposed to get loud and flip over some of the tables and chairs. We left, but will never eat at this establishment again. DO NOT EAT HERE! I plan to file a complaint. I reached out and the situation has still not been resolved! read more

I went here years ago with friends. I thought the food was your typical southern fare. My friends husband at the time loved it and considered it his favorite. He would drive there from Live Oak FL just to eat sometimes but not often. (2 1/2 hr drive) read more

We have eaten there a lot and really enjoy it each time. Great salad bar and love their fish and beef in gravy. Friendly and hard working staff. read more

Food was good, but the waitresses acted like she had a chip on her shoulder, and the bathrooms were disgusting. Two stalls out of four had working toilets. Toilet paper everywhere and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in days. Yuck! read more

I had previously eaten here and it was really good. However, today it was terrible. Poor service. Old food on the buffet. I saw a waitress attempt to clean a carpet sweeper next to the food bar. I will not return to eat here. read more

So I moved here from missouri and I asked around for good places to eat and someone told me this place is the best. In my personal opinion bland doesn't describe the food. There is no seasoning on almost anything. The grilled items were over cooked. It bad when you bring your pregnant girlfriend here and the only thing she find pleasing is the canned peaches they serve. The customer service was great just not Southern food taste more as if someone with no taste buds cooked everything. read more

Came here while visiting my mom and she recommended we go as it is one of her favorites. The place has great southern food and we will be back next time. The sweet potato soufflé was yummy, my daughter said the mashed potatoes were off the charts yummy, and she also said you have to eat the pecan pie WITH ice cream! Hubby said pot roast was amazing. All around great food and excellent service! read more

This is my first review ever. In all fairness I don't have a sophisticated southern palate but I would consider myself a "foodie" having waited and cooked in restaurants myself. The food was undeniably fantastic! Maybe not the healthiest fare but so much variety and full of flavor. Fried chicken, steak, pulled pork, turnip greens, mac 'n cheese, creamed corn, okra, grits, crawfish with a side of biscuits and cornbread. Salivating yet? I've been to Mary Mac's in Atl but I have to say that this place tops it. It was no frills, had friendly staff and was super cheap considering it was buffet style. Oh, their dessert was outta control as well... read more

I don't expect much from buffets and chains, much less buffet chains, but this place was good! I live overseas and when I come home, I crave Southern food. This place has everything you could imagine. The collards were outstanding, the meats just right, and everything in abundance and consistently good. I don't know how they do it. The service was middling I suppose--it is a buffet after all. read more
