The food selection is offered in giant buffet format, including the following:
- salad bar
- stir-fry chicken
- stir-fry vegetables (peppers, onions)
- fried catfish
- hush puppies
- Cajun "dirty" rice (spicy)
- bread rolls (subtly sweet) - the waiter will sometimes offer to bring you fresh ones with butter
- fried chicken
- pizza
- dessert bar
- ice cream
- toppings
This list is far from complete, however. Drinks are served while you wait in line to pay for entry, but the waiters are usually pretty good about checking for refills. If you want to leave a tip but don't have change, you can ask for extra cash from your credit card (sometimes they will ask you first).
Comments
- The Tuesday kids' special is great for families -- kids under 12 (or is that "12 and under?") are 99 cents each.
- An anonymous poster adds: "Kids drinks are always free, except when they get a larger to-go cup we charge 43 cents for the cup."
- Quality of most dishes is not always quite right, e.g. one time the stir-fry chicken was rather dry, and last time we were there
(2005-07-19) the "dirty" rice was a bit hard (either undercooked or sat out too long) -- but the buffet has so many choices that I've never gone away unsatisfied.
- Can be very busy at times, though this seems to be happening less often as the novelty wears off; waiters will usually handle the seating for you during busy times. Other times they will let you seat yourself.
- Certain tables are positioned so they get a strong, continuous blast from the A/C in hot weather – which can be refreshing if you're hot, but tends to make the food get cold very quickly. Check for drafts before sitting down if you want to avoid this.
- The walls are decorated with a lot of historical photos of Durham from the late 1800s onward; wish they were on the web somewhere...
