As a first-time Wedding Planner/Coordinator, I was lost and overwhelmed by all the things that needed to be accomplished before specific dates. Finding a caterer within the budget to feed 125 guests was challenging. Someone recommended Graham's buffet located in Laurinburg, NC. I was a little skeptical because the wedding was in Fayetteville, NC, which is approximately an hour away. But after talking with Ms. McQueen, I knew I had made the right choice. She put me at ease and assured me that she could do the job. Ms. McQueen was in constant contact with me. She went above and beyond to make sure she understood what I was trying to accomplish. On the day of the wedding, Ms. McQueen and her team showed up at the agreed time, and although we were not prepared for them to set up, they jumped right in and did whatever was necessary to get the food set up in time for the reception. The food was excellent. It was hot and delicious. The chicken was moist, and the beef was tender. I will definitely be using Graham’s Buffet for any future catering...
Read moreThis restaurant is WITHIN the Clinton Inn Hotel. It's the BEST soul food I've EVER had at a hotel or restaurant period! I drive nearly 2 hours almost every week to go eat here! The food is awesome and the owners are truly AMAZING!!! The general dining area is not the fanciest, but there is another side to the restaurant that can be booked for larger parties and events which is very nice. It has different levels of seating, a stage, piano and tons of possibilities if you want to assist in adding personal decorations. The owners are flexible so the tables and seating options can be rearranged to meet your party/event needs (as long as it remains within all safety codes)... There is occasionally live music from local talent. And the fireplace and seating in the lobby is perfect to watch a portion of the game or continue talking with your party for a few moments after a good meal... The family oriented atmosphere and the great food have made me a...
Read moreWorld Famous Graham’s Buffet: this is how the sign outside reads. If you know you know, if you haven’t been you need to learn for yourself, and soon. The sign is well earned, Don’t let the aged adjacent motel fool or deter you, this place is straight fire! My wife I had the fried and baked chicken, Mac and cheese, fatback, greens, cabbage, peach and apple cobbler, biscuit, cornbread, dumplins, yams, banana pudding, and squash. I can honestly say that each of those foods were quite possibly the best version of each we’ve had at any restaurant, ever. This is authentic southern food done right, perfectly seasoned and cooked. I can’t remember the last time I had juice run out of white meat chicken that we didn’t make ourselves. The sweet tea is true southern. Staff and servers were excellent, super friendly and helpful. We live 2.5 hours away and I’m already thinking about our next trip...
