    a plate of food
    Earl S.

    I enjoyed my experience for lunch yesterday. It is clean, well-organized, and the food is delicious. It's typically Southern fare. The staff are very attentive. I really liked the fried fish and the mac and cheese. The price is rather low at about $12.49 a person.

    Dessert: cobblers-- peach and strawberry
    DrGina B.

    I'm passing through Macon with a hungry vegetarian. When I saw this spot, I suggested we stop so they could fix a to-go plate. His only options were mash potatoes, fried okra and macaroni. He did pick out some cobbler to enjoy as well. His rating of the food, in terms of taste (seasoning) was "ok" and that okra was not well drained. The saving grace here are the cobblers-- the bread was light and fluffy and both fruit fillings were not overly sweet.

    Fried and baked chicken, fries, etc.

    Solid country food buffet place. Tastes like very authentic southern comfort food. Friendly staff, good prices.

    Southern goodness
    Sam H.

    OTC is a legit southern buffet. Everything is unbelievable. For $8.99 you can hurt yourself. Nothing is bad. The veggies are fresh not canned. This is the place Golden Corral dreams it could be. They have it all. Fatback on buffet everyday. Go hungry.

    Amazing cornbread

They don't have all you can eat crab legs but you can buy by the pound for 8.99 with purchase of buffet or more per pound if you buy just legs. First the buffet is huge! I mean they have a lot of food on those bars. Great tasting shrimp and cat fish. Really good dumplings. Just plump little half moon shapes of goodness. But the star was the crab legs, these damn things were succulent and juicy, the butta mmmmmmmm god the butta! It was just the icing the crab meat needed. Just awesome, that was really nice. I'll be back!

    DO NOT EAT AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT!…read more I witnessed an employee stop several customers who were trying to take to-go containers home. The customers had placed their leftover food into the containers after they finished eating. When the group decided they no longer wanted the containers, they left them with the employee. What happened next was extremely concerning. The employee took some of the food from those containers and placed it back onto the buffet line. I informed the employee that the food had already been handled and eaten from by customers and should not be returned to the buffet. The employee responded, "I looked at it, and it looked like they didn't touch it." I explained that it doesn't matter whether the food appeared untouched. Once food has been taken from the buffet and placed on a customer's table, it should never be returned to the serving area. Doing so is unsanitary and puts other diners at risk. Based on what I witnessed, I would not recommend eating here. This version strengthens the credibility of the review by focusing on the observed behavior and food-safety concern.

They had some good choices. The saw shee I don't need but they are always delicious just to put that out there. So I've been seeing these skins when I come. No I have never thought to try them. I got 2 plain ones off the bar as I would inquire about the bags of BBQ at the front upon leaving. The nice young lady said they were brought this morning. I believe that, but my problem is I don't feel they were freshly cooked skins. Both skins the plain on the bar and the bbq which I purchased upon leaving were chewy as hell. The BBQ seasoning was so good. But I can't get down with stale skins. I need some crunch. My dad was one of the best pitmasters there was. I know when the skin came off that hog and it wasn't crisp to throw it in the oven. It crisp right on up for a skin sammich. But you might be lucky and catch some on a good day so I won't say don't try them but for me this was my one time experience. One & Done!

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and cleanliness of the restrooms. Customer service was exceptional as well.

Waited about 15 mins to be seated and it seemed there was 2 servers and 1 chef. The menu they give you is outdated and doesn't reflect their website menu, they do have everything on their website but weird they don't show it. Server was all over and not super attentive but got the job done enough. Chef was friendly. The food was average the salad didn't have the classic ginger dressing which was weird and for the classic fried rice everything was uncharged. At the end we ended up having to grab our own boxes and had to ask 4 separate times for to go sauces.
