Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Strap on the Feed Bag!

Mar 2020 • family

Y’all come hungry — because Ole Times Buffet will make sure you’re stuffed when you leave. The buffet is huge, filled with standard country-style offerings like fried chicken, real mashed potatoes and collards. There’s a couple of pots of soup and a salad bar available, too; although you’ll probably want to save room for dessert. (A counter full of pie slices and an ice cream area ensure that you can find something that will make you fail your diet.) This isn’t haute cuisine, but if you’re looking to strap on the feed bag and gorge yourself, you’ll want to come here. I’ll add, the people here are super-nice, helpful and friendly, which is welcome after a long day of traveling. If you’re in the area and hankerin’ for some comfort food, stop here!

Busy buffet next to Valdosta Mall

Feb 2020 • family

Weekends are super busy at this country buffet! Plan to go early. Lots of variety. They have a salad bar, soups, a variety of hot items, dessert bar. Food quality could be better. Some items seem like they’re from a can. It as so busy our poor waitress was doing her best to keep up with bussing the tables and getting drinks.

Great Home-cooked food

Mar 2023 • couples

The food here is excellent, We were here for a Thursday night dinner. There are so many choices of home-cooked vegetables! Everything tastes great…examples include mashed potatoes, collard greens, squash, fried okra, meat loaf and baked chicken among many other choices. The price includes dessert - homemade cobblers, puddings and pies, Only the drink is extra. We love this place as we drive through Valdosta and will definitely return.

Best buffet ever.

Jun 2021 • couples

We spent the night at a nearby hotel and needed to find somewhere to eat. The food and service in this establishment was beyond excellent. The meats were moist and yet melted in your mouth. The dry rub ribs were by far the best I have ever had. I only wish they were closer to my home in SW Florida.

Great buffet with variety

May 2023 • none

Nice selection of food. If you got it when it comes out, the chicken, fish, veggies, and desserts are unbeatable. Once they sit a while, not so much. Plenty of guests did take out, but we ate in. Not really a large group friendly place, but you can take over a section.

Tremendous variety of food on the buffet.

Oct 2021 • none

This buffet restaurant has a tremendous variety of very good food. Lots of meats, vegetables, salad, and and an outstanding choice of desserts. No one item was truly outstanding, but the overall selection was overwhelming. The service was good.

Not as good as it was

Apr 2023 • family

We’ve eaten at this restaurant many times and everytime it was good. About 2 months ago it changed hands. Tonight we went for my son’s birthday dinner. It was a disappointment! 😖. The sign outside says mullet on Friday nights. They no longer serve mullet. 🙄. Everything was undersalted. Just not nearly as good as it used to be. I probably wont be back.

Big selection of entres and sides

Dec 2021 • none

The restaurant has a friendly and helpful staff, The buffet offers plenty of choices although they should be labeled to make choices easier, I must say that the fried chicken was one of the best I have had and that all the fried foods were cooked properly and not greasy, The collards tasted homemade. The dessert selections could be improved.

Loved it!

Aug 2020 • family

Loved it! Wished there was one closer:). Restaurant was actually recommended from an employee of another nearby restaurant so I thought I’d give it a try and glad I did! Food and staff were amazing. Highly recommended.
