Robbins Nest

Excellent place to eat. The buffet is loaded with all the typical southern foods we all grew up on and love. You will not be disappointed. Tonight the chicken pastry was amazing 😍

5-Star rating is strictly for the food this time.

I had a very unpleasant experience. I arrived approximately 7:20 pm on a Saturday. I noticed the parking area was unusually half full. I attributed that to virus fears. Got seated pretty quickly. Food was absolutely Southern home style good!

However, just before 8 pm the staff announced that we needed to get whatever we needed from the buffet and dessert because they were shutting it down. They tried to be very polite but there is no way to be polite when being rushed while dining. I picked a dessert and by the time I got back to my table I was the only customer. I absolutely felt like I was imposing!

7 pm Daylight Saving Time on a beautiful mild Saturday evening is prime dinner time. Why in the world would someone risk losing customers who want to relax and dine in a family friendly atmosphere. Is closing at 9 that inconvenient? No one wants to feel like they’re keeping everyone from going home!!

I’m reminded of Bill Ellis Barbecue in Wilson. When Bill was still active their buffet stayed online until the customers were finished. And the customers were not asked if they were finished. Exactly the opposite on one occasion—we were asked if there was anything not online that we needed. Sadly that all changed when Bill was no longer managing.

Bottom line is if you come up short on your customers you will come up short of customers. I dread the day Robbins Nest shuts down. I personally don’t know of any better place to enjoy Southern cooking. But I will definitely try out any if someone thinks they know any as good or better!

Fantastic!!!! My first time there. The food is AWESOME and the people are great. I would recommend this place to the President himself. I will be eating there anytime I'm in that area. Did I mention how AWESOME the food is?

Love to take my family here. Food is always good. Very kid friendly. Basically the whole family can go and have something for everyone. My favorite is the fried chicken and chicken pastry. Always great food and people.
