★★★★★ 5.0 Gregory Cook · Dec 2025

Great Eastern-style BBQ! Has some of the best slaw i have ever had. The sweet potato pie is the BEST in have ever had. Buffet inside, take out window, and drive through! Good service at all!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Katoria Harris · Jan 2026

I was given moldy rolls from the back on a napkin. Me and my grandmother accidentally ate one because the mold was hidden on the bottom. The meal should have been fully compensated because of the mold and it being consumed. They initially offered 10% off then after push back gave 50%. Won’t be back

Service was very friendly and prompt, atmosphere was fine. Pork sandwich was very bad. Not tasty just chopped dry. So the bread was stale. Everybody was doing the buffet, and I guess that's why.

★★★★★ 5.0 Lauren Henderson · Oct 2025

This Food was FRESH HOT DELICIOUS AND FLAVORFUL. Loved the sweet potato jack - a must try!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Eric Patterson · Mar 2026

Went today after about a year and this will be my last visit. I have been a customer for 45 years and it is hard to see. I grew up here and my family knew Mr. Gardner personally. Mr. Gardner knew since I was born and I personally feel he would be disappointed at the turn this family favoritehas become. Customer favorites have been taken off the buffet and made as separate purchase, the recipes have changed and they have gone to cheaper quality ingredients and believe me true lovers of Gardners can tell. The items available, poor food quality, and prices higher than their competition are very disappointing. This establishment use to be about, quality food and affordable for the customers; now it is just about profits. Very sad to say this is a heartfelt goodbye to one of my favorite splurge
