I have stopped at the Butcher Block several times over the past two years and the food is always good and the selection is excellent. The buffet features freshly carved meat, Southern favorites, and a fresh salad bar. There is also a dessert bar with delectible baked goods. The waitresses are always attentive and friendly, bringing rolls, soft drinks, and... More

Many "country style" buffets are loaded with ready-made foods simply heated up and served. The "Butcher Block Buffet" features foods made from scratch. Add to this that they present smoked meats and barbecue and how can you go wrong! So far we have only tried the lunch (which has a smaller choice of barbecue) but the quality and selections of...

Loved BBQ ribs and real mashed potatoes. Disliked the artificial tasting gravey on the real potatoes, lol. Price reasonable, Food well prepared, tasty, maybe not as much variety as some buffets, but they didn't have "filler junk" here. Everything was good. Salad bar was outstanding with fresh fruits and 3 kinds of lettuce. Plus we could walk from motel to... More

Stopped in on Saturday evening for dinner. The selection was outstanding. The meats and veggies were very good. The guy at the carving station was very accommodating and helpful when I asked about the meats he had to offer. The wait staff was also very polite and efficient (they brought the beverages and took care of refills as well as... More

I have been all over the USA and most of Europe. Hands down the best place to eat for the money I have ever eaten at. Smoked meat to almost perfection. Great Hot Dishes and cold dishes. The only down side is the Desserts. Still need some work, but I rarely eat them.

We ate at this buffet tonight. We thought virtually everything was barely lukewarm. It's sole redeeming consideration was that it was indeed, inexpensive. Sorry, but we don't understand the positive reviews. I guess it beats fast food. Won't bother again.

I'm not a big fan of buffets and it takes really good food to impress me. This place was the best buffet I've ever been to hands down. First the employees were very friendly and the manager walks around to each table to make sure everything is okay. The quality of the food for the price they charge...WOW! I have... More

We were a large group staying next door for the inauguration and dined at the Butcher Block our first nights stay. The home cooked food was just what we needed after a long bus ride. All the food was hot and the desserts were wonderful! The staff was very friendly and provided great service!
