Yet spending another Thanksgiving meal here at Ole Times. One thing is you never have any…read morecomplaints about the food. The turkey is always done to perfection, the ham yummy and plenty of sides and desserts. The salad bar was completely vacant, however...this was somewhat disheartening, considering how supposedly "health minded" American adults are these days. That was our first stop of the day. Cabbage slaw, carrot salad, macaroni salad, olives, huge delicious slices of beautiful tomatoes, gorgeous slices of cucumbers, nicely green lettuce, several types of peppers and ham. Cheese, salad dressing of every kind...best stop so far! Smoked pork, ribs, fried fish, yeast rolls, sliced roast beef, ham, turkey slices, meatloaf, fried chicken, baked chicken, green bean casserole, mac & cheese, cornbread dressing, turkey gravy, mashed potatoes, lima beans, black eyed peas, creamed corn, greens, rice, fried okra... Pumpkin pie, pecan pie, lemon meringue, peach cobbler, soft serve ice cream, chocolate cream pie, cookies, brownies...oh, I'm exhausted just from trying to list everything! There was so so so much more than what I even listed here, plus the absolute best waitress and Arnold Palmer maker! Why cook at home, burden yourself, spend HOURS cleaning up afterwards and hours more packing everything away? Take yourself and your loved ones out to Ole Times Country Buffet just one time for the holidays and you'll never go back to cooking again! (I sure haven't)

The fried chicken and lime beans really good. This was our first time , but hopefully not our last. Now on the flip side , the men's bathroom was very dirty. Will not keep me from coming back. Definitely worth the stop.

Only open until 2pm everyday, they have quite the salad bar and buffet table: homemade meatloaf, fried chicken, sausage (links and patties), eggs, home fries, biscuits, gravy, rice & sausage, ham, roast beef, chicken and dumplings and on and on. My wife and I stopped in this morning and what a great, little-known treasure. It's worth the drive if you are looking for some solid, down home southern cooking. Such flavors! I've had to edit this review three times because I keep going up and trying other stuff from the buffet! The mac & cheese! The green beans, complete with pieces of bacon! So good! Peach cobbler, banana pudding with chucks of banana in it and chocolate pudding with pieces of chocolate chip cookies in it! The prospects of what this place could do with a dinner menu make my mouth water. However, don't everyone rush up there at once, I almost want to keep this little piece of heaven to myself.

Daughter and I ordered the rainbow roll, TNT and Salmon roll. Hubby had the buffet. Daughter and hubby ad soda and I had hot tea, which was green tea. The rolls were very pretty and timely made. The ginger cuts could have been cut smaller so it wouldn't over power the each bite, but I'm not detecting for that. We will come back. I'll take pics next time. Just wish the trivia nights were on a Friday instead on a school night.

The drink wasn't well balanced. The fried shrimp basket was amazing. My sister ordered a create your own boil and that was also great and very flavorful. They should explain on the menu that you have to choose two options for the create your own boil. The restaurant was very relaxed and is family friendly. Parking is a bit confusing. There is parking directly in front of the restaurant but it was full when we arrived. There is also additional parking nearby but it was intertwined with what seemed to be a car sales or rental place. We took a chance and parked there anyway and the car was fine when we returned.

Upon our arrival, we noticed the outside of the premises did not look very nice and we still decided to go inside and check them out. As soon as we answered, we got seated. The waiter could have done a better job on serving us and changing her attitude. We got up and checked the food and it was 50/50 no wow factors. I have been to plenty of buffets like this one but I would not come back.

Ichiban Buffet is a simple buffet offering many of the usual dishes you would expect. One nice…read morefeature is the hibachi station where you can pick your ingredients and have a chef cook them fresh in front of you. I'm giving it 3 stars because of a concern I experienced at the hibachi station. The chef was using the same utensils to cook multiple orders, and when I mentioned that I'm allergic to shrimp and noticed shrimp being cooked right next to my food with the same utensils, he simply clapped the utensils together and continued cooking without cleaning them. Thankfully my allergy isn't extremely severe and I didn't consume any shrimp, but it was still concerning to see no effort made to prevent cross-contamination. Overall, it's a decent and straightforward buffet, but if you have food allergies, it may be something to be mindful of when ordering at the hibachi station. Also the place does look like a 3/5 aesthetically. It looks like it could use some shine and cleaning.

You walk in pay for your buffet , and sit where you like . Real casual dining experience. The only negative thing i experienced was the dessertb, they were out of both cobblers for a little bit , didnt want to wait l,so tried a piece of each of the cakes they had in bowls. Chocolate Cake wasn't bad, butbwhat i believe to pineapple cake or something was very dry no flavor. I dont go to buffets for the deserts, so..the chicken an the rest of the food made up for the issue. A closer to home buffet , they did have a sign up for all you can eat crab legs on Sat 3-7pm.

It seemed to be the only restaurant in the area that was open. The servers were doing a fantastic job, especially considering how busy it was. Our drinks were refilled frequently.

I would definitely return here the next time I am in the area.

Once you understand that this is a restaurant founded in 1959, housed in a former two story home originally built in 1951, you may come to appreciate the history and understand the vibe. It is truly amazing that this historic restaurant has survived in 2026. I happen to like the uniqueness and honestylye-feel, as if you're at someone's grandma's house. There is plenty of parking directly behind the restaurant and a small lot in ftont of the restaurant. There's parking along the side too. I enjoy the beautiful plants and flowers surrounding the restaurant. Honestly, they can make for a nice photo on a good day. Upon entering, if it's busy, like on Sunday afternoons, you'll find that you'll receive a little card with a number on it. After waiting and listening for your number to be called, you'll be seated. Check the website before you go... You'll be prepared for the hybrid meal service. Some things are served to you at the table and are not unlimited, like soups and desserts. Some things are self-serve and unlimited, like the old-fashioned salad bar and hot vegetables. A server will hand-carve your choice of meat for you. Just "know-before-you-go" by taking a quick glance at the website. Is it five star food? No. Is it just homey country style cooking? Yes. They serve lunch and dinner. They are supported by generations of locals. Lots of people like to celebrate their birthday here. If you bring at least 3 friends to help you celebrate, you'll dine for free. Contrary to many reviews, I've never experienced or seen rudeness. In fact, I've seen staff taking the time to be friendly to guests. When coming here, you can't be super picky about the food - it's not a five star restaurant. Yes, the green beans may be from a can. It's okay, you'll survive! Enjoy the unique experience!

We didn't even stay after reading the menu and that says everything. They advertise it as a "buffet," but it's completely misleading. You're still paying for protein items if you want seconds, so it's not a true buffet at all. Feels like a bait-and-switch the second you look at the menu. The setup was confusing, the vibe was off, and honestly it didn't feel worth sticking around to figure it out. If you're expecting a traditional buffet experience, this is not it. Save your time and your money go elsewhere!
