Buffet selection was small, more "odd" choices vs some standard items you'd see on a Chinese buffet. Quality of food was also eh, had maybe one or two things that I can say I truly enjoyed and the rest was tolerable. I see now that pricing for what is offered was brought up... definitely an issue. Three people and two sodas was slightly over $70! We could have went to a great restaurant for that cost. It was a bit dark and outdated inside. Walking around the buffet was also tight and you had to move out of people's way. Service was friendly at least. Def would never return unfortunately.

We were in town for a volleyball tournament and wanted to get dinner. This place was super close to…read morethe hotel and we love to try hometown diners and buffets. The decor is very outdated but that was ok. It was a bit confusing at first. We were told to go down this line and then we paid but you could order main things separately. We went and picked out where to sit. Our waiter was nice. They bring you four plates and 1 bowl. We found this very odd for a buffet. We had to sit and wait for our plates and quite some time for our waters. Our utensils were not clean. The buffet was little to be desired. It is definitely southern influenced , which is great, but the food was often over cooked and very bland. The fried chicken was ok, but you could tell it was fried in the same oil as the fish. The cleanliness of the buffet was not ideal and the selection was minimal. Definitely do not recommend for picky eaters or children, there is not a variety for different palates. We very quickly realized why the buffet was so inexpensive. Perhaps the made to order food is better. Bathrooms were clean. We are in the area several times through the season but we won't go back. It really just needs a facelift.

While…read morepreparing a salad, I noticed two dead flies in the fruit section of the salad bar--an obvious health violation. The floors throughout the restaurant were dangerously slippery, and the rugs looked filthy and poorly maintained. I showed a picture of the flies to a young staff member, expecting some concern or at least an apology. Instead, she casually remarked, "That's why I don't eat here. I don't see how anyone does." When I suggested she alert someone in charge, she simply looked away, handed me my receipt, and called for the next customer. This is not the type of person who should be representing any business, let alone one serving food to the public. Cleanliness, safety, and customer service are basic expectations. Unfortunately, none of these were met during my visit. I will not be returning--and I strongly urge management to address these serious issues immediately.

There wasn't a reason for me to still be there at 4pm. I waited 45 minutes for food. And this was after waiting too long for my order to be taken. This is BBQ, with premade side orders. Nothing is made to order. If this place has a staffing issue, then close between lunch and dinner like other restaurants that respect people's time. I'll add that it was NOT crowded. More tables than parties by far. Lastly, I'll reiterate that food was good but it was clearly reheated on the plate. I had brisket and ribs with potato salad, and Mac and cheese. This place is expensive and not worth the time or effort. Good BBQ may not be cheap but this was a waste of time and money.

You walk in and the young HS or College Busboys/waiters are lined up waiting to assist. It has to be one of the most nostalgic things gs I've seen in a long time. The sweet tea is southern pucker sweet & perfect!! There's malt vinegar on the table for collards, and the NC vinegar based BBQ sauce was very good. However, the chopped pork BBQ did t really need any help, it was just as good on its own and not mushy. I even enjoyed the yellow coleslaw, it's a mustard & vinegar base and tasty. The Brunswick stew could have been heat hotter, but it had a decent taste with plenty of meat & veggies. I would definitely drive out of my way again to share Parker's with my 15yr old who missed this road trip.

The good news ... from what they had to offer, the food was quite tasty. The bad news ... the offerings were limited. From what we saw on the menu, it seemed to be mostly chicken (with a lot of it fried) and some chopped pork. Now I know this is the Carolinas so brisket may not be an option. But the pig is so revered I thought we would see that offered a number of ways, and at least see some baby back ribs on the menu. Not sure this place is named properly as I expected to see more BBQ than anything else on the menu, and that is simply not the case.
