Tucked into an unassuming strip mall, you'd be quite likely to pass this place by without even a second look. Heck - you may drive by without even realizing it's there, or - worse - stopping at the larger cafeteria on the corner of the mall or the family-style restaurant across the street. Either would be a huge mistake. Instead, head to the corner and find a nice surprise.
While the decor won't win any awards, and the buffet isn't large, what you will find is a well-stocked selection of tasty entrees on the steam table, surprising desserts (including hand-dipped butter pecan ice cream and pecan pie) and staff that is generally eager to please. The only downfall is the aforementioned location which can be tough to find, the smallness of the place and that they don't generally pay much attention once you are there - so if you drink a lot (as I do), you may find your glass empty more than once. Still, the food is better than most any buffet - and a number of non-buffets - in Charlotte.
