Ole Times Country Buffet Savannah — Restaurant in Savannah

I visited this place for dinner which I guess started at 5pm since I was charged a dinner rate.. adults are $14+tax with no drink..and kids $8.99+tax without drink. The price was a bit steep for me and the food was not that great. My kid got an upset stomach maybe within 10 minutes of eating mac and cheese, there was a horrendous smell (like old garbage) near the back station mid dining area that floated over most of the tables there 🤢, almost did not stay. The variety of food was condusive to a Sunday meal. The collard greens were bitter like vinegar which is not my taste, I only mention it because that taste stood out, not in a good way. I enjoyed the fried fish, shrimp, and some type of chicken gumbo, and the salad. Omg if you guys want people to eat here, improve cleaniness & smells, along with maybe some more updated food choices..maybe a co-chef if its feesible.. the flavor for most of the food was not familiar to a southern flavor. The dishes were in an area also not familiar and I was not the only one walking in circles to find them. On a good note, I did see consistant change in the food trays as well as wiping around the food station and redirecting of filthy people who cross contaminated serving utensils.. 😒, but like I said, the kicthen worker had no problem redirecting them and removing said utensil. I don't visit often and the above issues are why, improve those and I may recommend the place, but not...

This experience was a little bit meh. The restaurant is easy to find and there’s plenty of parking. Inside, there were plenty of seats. What we noticed right away is that the cleanliness was a bit off. There was a crowd of people standing right in front of the entryway smoking. Many of those people were still there when we left. The carpets were not real good and all of the empty tables were sticky and still had food residue on them. There was a lot of commotion inside, which was a little uncomfortable. There was a pretty good selection of food, but I would say most of it was just OK. Particularly my wife was very displeased with the food selection and she didn’t eat too much. The air conditioning inside also was extremely cold and that also made primarily her and the kids meal a bit on uncomfortable side. I noted the service at three stars. The people at the front were very helpful, and then there was a lady who took care of our table who also was very helpful. However, she told us that the person who is supposed to be waiting on our table was nowhere to be found. She took on our table, even though it wasn’t her area, and I appreciate that. But the entire time we were there, I don’t think we saw the person who was supposed to be waiting on us. Everything just seemed very disorganized. We may come back here in a pinch, but I don’t think this is going to be...

UPDATE 2:

They may have new cook and some staff. Food is delicious now especially the baked spaghetti and chicken, ribs. The LCB is what it is. Catch it when it first gets set out though. Go see for yourself!😎

UPDATE: went back using the "2 free comp card"...

Nothing Has Changed. Worst food ever except the salad. Dessert choices are minimum and the same..

I'm done won't go back! Seafood (low country boil = LCB) served Friday & Saturday. No crab legs though. LCB was overcooked because it was sitting under the hot lamps all day. Fried shrimp - hard..yuck. Vegetable soup - no flavor..yuck. Baked spaghetti - bottom burnt..yuck. oh yeah they give you plastic utensils and plastic cups unless you ask for regular utensil so that you receive a knife to cut food. Drinks sold separately and Water is $.99 cents. 🙄 Manager came to my table. I explained to her the issues with everything mainly the LCB. Received credit for future meal. I used to love this place but Ole Time has doubled their price and its never Senior Day whatever day they tell you to come. Don't think I'll go back except to use the free coupon I received. Just too expensive and don't want to flip a coin that the food will be ok. Not recommending this place but try it at your own risk maybe it'll be OK...
