To clarify, this is not s buffet, it's all you can eat BBQ. A reviewer was complaining about the selection. Of course you're not going to get a variety, it's all you can eat BBQ!
What you get for $11.75:
-Pork BBQ
-Beef BBQ (all meat has no sauce, as its Carolina style)
-Roasted chicken
-Cole slaw
-Homemade baked beans
-Pickles
-Cornmeal fritters
-Potato chips
-Sliced bread
-Rolls
Additional items:
-Dessert $1
-Pitcher of tea $2.50
There is live entertainment including clogging, singing and music (banjo or spoons.) There is a nearby pond, horseshoe pits, rocking chairs by the fireplace, and you can interact and dance to the band.
This place reminds me of a southern pig pickin' and the building looks like an old chicken house. It's not fancy, it's not high end but it's a great time to take the family and spend the evening! Oh, bring cash too! They only accept cash or a check! -

Someone told us about this out of the way BBQ place. We had trouble finding it with our GPS. After reading previous reviews we were prepared to pay cash. No credit cards accepted. It is a self- serve all you can eat BBQ with 3 different meats plus sides. I believe desserts are extra. The BBQ smelled wonderful though the taste fell short. The meat was dry. The chicken was the best choice. Everyone was friendly and wondered why we were leaving before the music started. It was hot. There are fans but no ac. We didn't want to stay late with a drive ahead of us.

What a fun place! Great music, very nice staff and you just might run into people you know. But the food leaves much to be desired. Everything is so bland. From the slaw to the meats. The decor is supposed to be rustic I understand, but still the public eats here. Just think the environment could look a little fresher.

I grew up right down the road and it is wonderful. The pork and baked beans are just amazing. The slaw is pretty darn good too. The dirt drive down is always so calming. The cloggers also do a superb job and the bands are always great! It's a country home kinda place and is definitely worth the drive.

If you're willing to take a hike (or a long drive), this is a good "one of a kind" option in the area. Sims is CASH ONLY, so be prepared. There is not an ATM on site. Another reviewer accurately described the buffet and prices. The real thrill of Sims is the live bluegrass music and sometimes clogging (dancing).
For me, the buffet is kind of a crap shoot for what you're paying. Bread isn't warm, seems to be straight from the bag off the shelf. The meats are pretty good, but there are only 2 sauce options, vinegar (spicy) or "regular" bbq sauce (like original recipe that you'd find at the grocery store). Be prepared to pay for drinks after you pay for your meal, they aren't included... or desserts.. so they use the term "buffet" pretty loosely.
