I was visiting my daughter in Savannah where she goes to college. The hotel I stayed in was walking distance to Ole times country buffet. I knew I wanted to go!

Service was friendly and had that southern hospitality touch to it! The atmosphere was laid back and had a homey feel to it. We will be back at every visit! read more

I had an experience yesterday after requesting your pecan pie from a woman named Deedee.she refused to serve us pie stating she only had 6 pies to serve..Really? Her attitude was very unpleasant and I was embarrassed in front of my out of town guests. She claimed she had to make an announcement and became annoyed with our server when she attempted to serve us some pie.keep in mind this was the beginning of Service about 12 noon..please do better! Customer service has become non existent these days. read more

Place needs a good cleaning and a little updating for sure. I was able to find a few things that I could eat. Service was good. We are hoping we don't get sick. read more

I'm not usually a buffet person, but my family loves them, so I found myself at Ole Times Country Buffet recently for dinner. Known for its Southern-style comfort food and welcoming atmosphere, this spot definitely exceeded my expectations in some areas. The buffet itself was clean, well-stocked, and filled with classic Southern dishes. The cheese grits, fried pork chop, oxtail and potatoes, and fried chicken were all standout items for me but it also included many other standard southern dishes you would expect. Everything was fresh, mostly flavorful, and exactly what you'd hope for at a Southern buffet. The staff was another highlight--our server and the two women working the cash registers when we arrived were super friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. That said, I am knocking off one star due to a rather uncomfortable interaction with a male employee. He kept making awkward and unnecessary comments every time I went to the buffet line--like a strange running commentary on my plate choices. Actual quote from him : "Ahh yeah, going for them grits. I knew she was a country girl." It was weird and off-putting, and frankly, it dampened what was otherwise a pleasant meal. I ultimately ended up making my sister go up to the buffet to grab items for me in order to avoid him. All in all, Ole Times is a solid choice for Southern comfort food, especially if buffets are your thing. Just maybe steer clear of certain employees at the buffet line. read more

My experience was very good at the ole Times country buffet! It is your typical southern food. The food was good but salty. They kept the tables stocked with hot food. The servers were pleasant, helpful and kept the station clean. read more

Absolutely amazing! Best cooked cabbage I have ever had. I ordered through Doordash. Pork with 2 sides, and baked chicken with two sides. The pork was chunks of burnt ends with meat. The best of both worlds. It was done with a dry rub. No sauce. I would have like a bit of sauce, but I paired it with the cabbage. This is now a regular in my delivery rotation! I wasn't too impressed with the chicken- s I'll stick with the amazing pork! My favorite sides are the cabbage and Mac and cheese. read more

Overall all the food had very good taste and flavor, we were so happy to be in Ms Queen's table area because she was fabulous! I think the waitstaff at the front drink area need to learn from her, we started there and they were very rude we moved and so happy we did. HOWEVER.... The sign on the door says no pets and there was a table that had a dog now the dog did not have on a vest that said it was a service pet. However, the lady was very adamant that the dog was her service pet, but the dog stayed with her son long story short come to find out. The lady was the manager's sister as great as that is. Everyone does not want to eat inside with an animal, and if the sign on the door specifically says no pets then that should apply to everyone not excluding family. The ambience was nothing special. It was a traditional buffet. I do appreciate how Miss Queen kept her floor area clean. I cannot thank Miss Queen enough for her time and attention, and she had a very busy area, but she was very attentive and should really train the other waitstaff on how to treat their tables Because she was phenomenal and really made this visit amazing!! read more

It wasn't as I expected it to be. There were not as many meat items as I've seen on other buffet's. It was a little disappointing. The buffet items were not as well designed as they could be. read more

They didn't have any labels on the dessert and I got something with coconut in it and I'm allergic

Unfortunately, I was unable to have a meal at home for Thanksgiving due to an ill family member and so we opted for Ole Tyme. I had been here several times before and even had takeout for past holidays and it was always good. I arrived before 2, in which they closed at 4 and there was barely any food available with tons of people filling up the place. Several workers made comments about not cooking anymore food because they were ready to go, which we heard after we had already paid. I understand everyone wants to be with their loved ones, but if you work for an established that is open on the holiday at least work it with pride. I have been there personally, so I know the feeling; but to charge people already going through things during the holidays and you barely provide is ridiculous. I am sorry, but I will not return. I am giving 1 star only because our waitress and the cashier were friendly. read more

Lots of choices. Great for when you're hungry & the kids don't want to wait. We'd come back :)

If you're looking for some delicious southern cuisine, give Ole Times Country Buffet a try. They offer lots of tasty options from Brunswick Stew, fish, chicken, steak, macaroni and cheese, different types of beans, greens, cabbage, corn, grits, and rice, sweet potatoes, succotash..., a full salad bar, a huge assortment of breads and desserts. Yesterday I had some well seasoned fried chicken, okra and tomatoes, a baked sweet potato, cornbread, steak, and macaroni and cheese. Everything was so delicious. Of course I was full after my first serving, so I passed on dessert. I let my eyes feast over the dessert area though. There were cupcakes, banana pudding, cakes, cobblers, cookies, ice cream and so much more. The staff is always working together to make sure the restaurant is clean, the food is fresh and customers have what they need to enjoy a good ole time while dining at Ole Times. read more

The food here is really good. The best place for fried chicken. However, the selection is surprisingly limited. The service is also not the best. The servers are friendly but they don't come by often enough to give drink refills or take away empty plates. Ambiance is pretty meh. read more

Really subpar food, giving this a rare 1/5. While I don't expect much from an all you can eat buffet, none of the food seemed fresh, and half the buffet seemed overly fried or pickled/ canned. read more

Relatives told me you can get some good seafood on Friday and Saturday so wifey and I took a road-trip with her cousins down to Savannah Ga. The ambience is a real country setting , down here you're always greeted as if you're family and the food also is like mama or grandma cooked it. The buffet has an abundance of selections to try collard greens cabbage turnips corn ,salad bars ,pasta bar, Mac and cheese,cheese grits, fried and grilled chicken, ribs , fish,shrimps clams ham,& so much more also all kinds of desserts. Food was delicious and the server was Johnny on the spot when it came to clearing are used dishes and refilling our drinks. Very good experience and highly recommended that this is a place to consider when you're in this area of Savannah read more

I went on a Sunday morning before the church crowd arrived which is about 1:30ish. This is the most expansive buffet I have ever experienced. Two tables of proteins. Two tables of salads and fruit. Big dessert selection. The meats and veggies feature southern fare well. Chitins, etc. The fried chicken was the highlight. Crispy golden and moist inside. Pintos, limas, white rice and gravy, green beans, collard greens, etc. My dining companion from New England was not familiar with all these southern foods. Well worth getting away from the tourists downtown and dining at this local landmark. read more

I went on 3/29. The service was a 10/10. My waitress was a short, orange hair, and beautiful lady. The food was fresh and hot and great. Nice and clean. 10/10 read more

So much value for the price... and the food is really delicious. My little cousin went to Savannah state and when I asked him for his top local recommendation he recommended Ole Times. We were skeptical about visiting a cheap buffet on our vacation, but this place came so highly recommended from my cousin, we wanted to try it for giggles. This place is nothing to giggle at. The food is delicious and has all the southern staples you would expect. I mean, I would think someone's great grandma is in the back making all the dishes I loved as a child. I went with my husband, teen and twin toddlers. My toddlers got a piece of fried chicken as big as their faces and finished the whole thing. I had at least 3 plates and everything was delicious. For the price, I would not expect them to have higher priced items like shrimp, but there was a delicious shrimp boil! Highly recommend! read more

When I tell you SOUTHERN cooking. Anything you can possibly have a taste for. Catfish, yes Lord thank you. Peach cobbler, corn bread, Mac and cheese, fried okra, lol to name a few and the best lemonade to wash it down. Ask for Pam's section, she's the best. Great place. read more

Near Cleveland, Ohio, there are not a lot of American buffets anymore. Sure, you can find Asian and Indian buffets, and those are great. But if you're seeking a good old American buffet, Golden Corral is pretty much the only option. So when I travel around the USA, I seek American buffets. Well, I was in Georgia recently, and of course, I searched Yelp for a buffet. And wouldn't you know it, I found Ole Times Country Buffet. Since it earned good ratings on Yelp, I convinced my family that we needed to visit. They were observing proper COVID-19 protocols, including staff wearing gloves and masks, you are required to wear gloves when you are serving yourself, the cutlery is plastic, and the refills are poured at your table. The selection was excellent, the food quality was excellent, the place was clean, and the staff was fast and attentive. This was one of the best buffets I've ever visited. The food tasted awesome. I had some catfish, greens, corn, cornbread, blackberry cobler, and others. It was just epic. It more than satisfied my craving for Southern style cooking. If I'm in Savannah again, I'm visiting. Loved it! read more

I love this place. read more

So i came to savannah on a little pit stop and decided to stop by this good reviewing buffet. First off the water tasted like they got it from a sink with semi-clean dishes. I went to get a nicely grand spanking new clean fork and i was eating my macaroni and "cheese" and noticed a hair that wasn't any of my friends hair color because it was grey hair, which we are now scared to ingest any more food. My sister went to go get an ice cream from your soft serve, and she grab a cone and it had fell but she went to grab it and it didn't drop directly on the floor so she used it. Then, a worker came up and said "you can't grab other cones"then went over to to others saying my sister had just touched all the cones. Overall the service was not the best so i wouldn't suggest this to my friends and family. read more

Great place to eat always hot and fresh food waiters are nice and friendly I definitely recommend

Came here with family, a party of 5 adults and two kids. We were immediately seated and dug into the buffet. The variety was amazing. If it's American and Southern....they have it. The only thing that was "interesting" is that nothing was labeled...it was a bit of a mystery but all was delicious read more

Food was hot and lot to pick from food tasted great would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a home cooked meal

Not enough good things to say on this place!! Price was reasonable and food was 10/10, service was also gold star!! Will definitely be back

What's truly impressive about this establishment is their ability to shape plain old table salt into the shapes and appearances of so many foods. I had the table salt shaped to look like fried chicken, the table salt shaped to look like collard greens, and the table salt shapes to look like mashed potatoes and gravy. While there was no distinction in the flavors-table salt tastes like table salt, after all-the variety of artisanal shapes and colors was impressive. read more

Once again My Mother & I went to visit Ole Time, disappoint even more this time! There was no fried chicken and it did not come for 45 mins, there was very little Mac & Cheese, what was in the pan, didn't look good, it was about 30 mins before it came out, also they put to much pepper in it! There was no cream corn, it was at least 30 mins before it came and it people were lined up waiting for the fried chicken to come out. The salad bar with carrot salad and broccoli salad honestly should look fresh, not so! I can't understand a restaurant that gets so muc business not having fresh food out on the bar or making your customers wait so long on the fresh food to come out! Yes we go there, but we can't eat many veggies, cause pork is every veggie, we do not eat pork, when you put in every veggie, there is not a lot to eat, I don't understand why they can't leave pork out some the veggies. I know without the pork they taste much better. In cabbage you could put butter, taste much better! A buffet should have fresh food on the bar and it should be full and not have customers waiting on food! Cause I have to say if your customer quit coming, your business will go down! I have work in restaurant before and we always had the fresh food, not empty containers on the bar or food that looked like it was there since you open! Ole Time Y'all got to do better! read more

Being a Marylander, this place reminded me of Old Country Buffet. The staff was very friendly. We went to sit in the back, and the hostess asked us to move due to water dripping from the ceiling. She shouldn't have to tell the guest. It should have been blocked off. The food was very salty, and the pastries were dry. Overall, it was worth the money paid. read more

We need one here in Las Vegas like yesterday. It seemed overwhelming at first but the line moves quickly and I enjoy it with my family.
