OLD TYME GRILL & BUFFET – JONESBORO, GA ⭐ OUR RATING: 3.5 OUT OF 5 STARS Was Old Tyme Grill & Buffet worth the stop? We Stayed There visited this country-style buffet in Jonesboro, Georgia, and while there were some positives, our overall experience left us disappointed. Here's our breakdown of the good, the bad, and whether we'd return. THE GOOD First, credit where it's due! The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient throughout our visit. Service was definitely one of the highlights. The buffet offered a decent selection of Southern comfort food and soul food favorites, including fried chicken, ribs, fried fish, lima beans, yams, collard greens, and other traditional country-style dishes. The main dining area was clean during our visit. The restaurant occupies a former Golden Corral building, and the layout is nearly identical, giving it that familiar buffet atmosphere. One standout dish? The collard greens! They were among the better items we tried. THE NOT...

Armando's Mexican restaurant | St.George, Sc 5792 County Rd S-18-200, St George, SC 29477 🌮 Armando’s Mexican Restaurant – St. George, SC Review ⭐ 3.7 out of 5 stars If you find yourself rolling through St. George, South Carolina and your stomach starts making executive decisions for you, Armando’s Mexican Restaurant is probably going to pop up on your radar. And honestly? It’s a bit of a mixed bag — like a taco that’s mostly good but missing that one key ingredient. 👍 The Good Stuff First off, the staff? Solid. Friendly, attentive, and quick on their feet — the kind of service where your drink gets refilled before you even realize it’s empty. That alone scores points. Food comes out fairly quick too, which is always a win when you’re hungry enough to consider eating the chips basket itself. Pricing is also very reasonable. Around $15 per person, which in today’s economy feels like you just got away with something. Decor? Let’s call it “classic.” Not bad, not great — just kind of...

Grand Buffet Chinese food | North Charleston, Sc 4950 Centre Pointe Dr, North Charleston, SC 29418 Grand Buffet – North Charleston, SC (3.8 ⭐ out of 5) If you’re in the mood for the classic American-style Chinese buffet experience — where the steam trays stretch longer than your willpower — Grand Buffet in North Charleston delivers a solid, dependable meal that hits the spot. Walking in, you’re greeted by a pretty typical buffet setup: rows of familiar favorites like lo mein, fried rice, General Tso’s chicken, and enough crispy egg rolls to feed a small army. The good news? Everything we tried was fresh, hot, and regularly restocked, which is honestly half the battle with buffets. Nothing sad or dried out sitting under the heat lamps here — the staff kept the trays filled in a timely manner. The food itself was good, with a wide selection that covers the usual Chinese buffet classics. If you’re the kind of person who likes to build a plate that looks like a delicious game of culinary T...

Hibachi buffet | Atlanta, Ga Buford Hwy NE ⭐️⭐️⭐✨ (3.7 out of 5) — Hibachi Buffet | Atlanta, GA Hibachi Buffet is exactly what you expect when you hear the words “Chinese buffet”—and I mean that in both the comforting and slightly concerning ways. Let’s start with the wins. Seating is lightning-fast, which is perfect when your stomach is making decisions faster than your brain. The staff is friendly and keeps things moving, and the food selection is huge—so huge that you’ll need at least two laps before committing. Pricing is pretty standard for a buffet these days, around $25 per person with tip, and overall the place is fairly clean, which already puts it ahead of some buffet horror stories we won’t speak of. Now for the not-so-great. For a Chinese buffet, the chicken situation is… confusing. No General Tso’s, no orange chicken, no classics—just sesame chicken holding down the fort like it lost its coworkers. About half the food was barely warm, which makes you question whether it’s ...

⭐ 3.9 out of 5 Corner House Restaurant in Summerville is a solid go-to, especially if you’re on a lunch break and the clock is not your friend. The staff here deserves a shoutout—friendly, attentive, and efficient enough to get us in and out without feeling rushed. The dining area and restrooms were clean, which always earns bonus points, and the bar is huge—the kind of bar that makes you briefly consider canceling the rest of your day. The menu has something for just about everyone: salads, burgers, soups, and all the classic bar-food favorites. Prices landed right around $20 per person with tip, which feels reasonable for the variety and portion sizes. Now for the hiccup. The grilled chicken on the salad looked like it had been seared by the sun itself. The grill marks were burnt burnt, and unfortunately that char overpowered the entire salad and took the flavor down with it. A shame, because everything else was working in its favor. That said, my guests enjoyed their meals and had n...

Swig & Swine BBQ review | Summerville, SC 1990 Old Trolley Rd, Summerville, SC 29485 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ 4.4 out of 5 —  Swig & Swine is exactly what you hope for when you walk into a BBQ joint and catch that glorious meat’s been smoking all day aroma. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the restaurant was clean, and the food came out quick—perfect timing right after the lunch rush when everyone’s happy and nobody’s hangry. The BBQ itself was very tasty and hit all the right notes you’d expect from a place that literally smokes their meats out back. And let’s talk about the coleslaw for a second—this wasn’t a side, this was a statement. Easily a 5/5 in the coleslaw category, which is harder to achieve than most people realize. Pricing is another win. Coming in under $20 per person with tip makes this spot feel like a solid value, especially for quality BBQ. Now, the only knock: portion sizes. They weren’t massive “roll-you-out-the-door” platters. I was full and satisfied, but if yo...

Grace & Grit Review | Mt Pleasant, SC 320 Wingo Way #100, Mt Pleasant, SC 29464 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.6 out of 5) Grace & Grit – Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina Grace & Grit is one of those places that looks like it’s about to charge you “special occasion” prices… but pleasantly doesn’t. The restaurant gives off a high-end, coastal-chic vibe — clean, modern, and classy — yet the menu stays refreshingly reasonable (expect around $30 per person with tip). Fancy without the financial regret. 😄 The seafood-focused menu truly has something for everyone, so even the picky eater in your group won’t be left staring at one option like it’s a life decision. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and despite not having a reservation, they managed to fit us in — always a win in a busy Mt. Pleasant spot. Cleanliness was on point too. From the dining area to the restrooms, everything looked well cared for (yes, restrooms matter… we all judge). Now for the real star: the food. With four people order...
