Crispy fresh fried fish

We ate here for the first time this evening. There was a line but it moved quickly. The buffet was refreshed frequently. Almost all the food was homemade and my husband said it was the best fried fish he had ever had. I was pleased that the buffet had hard to find items like chicken livers and buttermilk pie. We are definitely coming back to this place even though we live 55 mins away.

Pretty good, just wish they'd have had shrimp. It was really, really cold in the restaurant!

Not my style of cooking, too greasy, not a lot of choices. Of course we went during the heart of covid.

Pizza Inn was a favorite lunch spot during my work years but I hadn't eaten there in a long time…read more What a pleasant surprise when my friend suggested we checkout this location. Late afternoon on a Wednesday and we were greeted and immediately seated. Wait staff was friendly and professional. The restaurant was bright and colorful and appeared pretty clean. Bathroom was neat and clean also. Decided to try the buffet. The pizza was well stock and appealing to the eye. Overall the buffet could use some attention and I recall there was someone who appeared to be working on it. The buffet food items looked pretty fresh but the counters could use a wipe down. I enjoyed the pizza and salad bar. Good variety. That dessert pizza warm was delicious! Recommend!

I haven't been to a Pizza Inn in decades. They have a drive thru & parking in the front and back…read more The restaurant was clean. The variety of pizza was shocking. Nice amount to choose from including cheese sticks, pizzas, and dessert pizzas. They offered pasta, salad, soup, and ice cream as well. It was actually good. After all these years, it was still good. And MS. REBECCA!!! She was amazing. So polite and attentive. She cheered on my grandson and his friend while they played the claw grab machines for candy and prizes. She was awesome. The prices aren't bad as well. I'm definitely returning. Oh, and I was double ducked in the parking lot. *It's a Jeep thing. :-)

It's a mom & pop place off the beaten path, but not so far off the interstate that fellow lovers of…read moreroad trip Yelp Roulette can't stop and get full as a tick on soul food. Being a fan of non-chain local spots, all of them have their quirks and this one's is pretty simple: They have 2 front doors yet one is the entrance and one is the exit. Both are clearly marked and steps from each other; impossible to miss. Upon entering, you seat yourself, a friendly waitress takes your drink order then its on you to lay back your ears and dive in the buffet. Next nifty quirk are the buffet plates: Real glass, y'all! Plenty of places claim to have soul food but how many of them serve up food on proper plates with proper utensils?! As you can see from my plate, all the bases are covered and you won't leave hungry. Trout, fried chicken, baked chicken, sketti, Mac & cheese, slaw, tater salad, collards, black eye peas, taters and gravy... Now unlike most places I must admit, if you have it in you to do so -leave room for desert!- I didn't get a pic of the 2 different types of cake I ate so someone else can brag on those after taking my advice to stop on in. I even joked that the reason we can't have places like this in the city is because people like me would order a coffee and pay for the buffet, but simply sit and eat a little over a quarter of one of those splendid cakes : D

Easily one of the best Southern food buffets I've ever eaten (And I've sampled many). The deserts…read moreare simply decadent. It was a Sunday but the line moved quickly. The building has some age on it but trust me, u will hardly notice such!

The only thing they don't have on the buffet is beef brisket, which is what we love, but all the food that we got the shredded pork, ribs, barbecue chicken, vegetables, bread...everything was really good. It's an odd place to have a barbecue restaurant, but it was definitely enjoyable. The service was excellent and they were very good about keeping the place clean. Being able to watch the airplanes land and takeoff was just an extra bonus.

Sunny skies, great food, and watching planes take off and land right in front of you? This unique…read morespot was definitely worth the short drive from the Raleigh area on a warm Sunday afternoon. There was a bit of a wait to sit outside - this place is POPULAR! But it was worth those few extra minutes for front row seats of the action on the tarmac below. We arrived during their lunchtime buffet hours, although you can also order from their regular menu. I'm not usually a buffet person, but since I wanted to try a little bit of everything it was definitely the way to go. For $18 I got some ribs, pulled pork, and BBQ chicken. Not to mention, a side of their delish cornbread, and a scoop of two of my Southern faves: mac & cheese and collard greens. Sadly, I was too full of the deliciousness to make a second trip, but if I had it would have been for a heaping pile of mashed potatoes and a generous scoop of their homemade peach cobbler. If you like airplanes and BBQ, add this to your list for your next visit to the area. They also have a full bar, though on this hot day we were happy with bottomless refills of their refreshing sweet tea.
