★★★★☆ 4.0 Kevin Bullard · Dec 2025

Great place to grab a meal fairly close to Charlotte. Soul Food/Country Cookin' type of buffet. If they serve it ... They made it. It will fill up after church etc. staff is very friendly and helpful. They keep the food hot & fresh. Very happy with this fine place on Lancaster highway in Upstate SC. Will be back.

521 Country Cooking is a fantastic local Buffet of Southern American specialties. Excellent fried chicken, staff is very friendly (Brittany is great!). Everything is freshly made and delicious. I’d like to see some dessert cakes out would be my only suggestion. The A/C wasn’t working well at all but they say a unit is down. Was around 78 degrees inside today at lunch.

Great fried chicken! Good country cooking . Last time we went with a group and they had frog legs on the buffet. They were delicious! If you like home style country cooking you will like this place.

The food looks so clean, delicious foods, not heavily seasoned, seasoned just right. Desserts was delicious, peach cobbler was sooooo good (could have held out on the sugar, because it had fresh peaches which makes its own sugar) other than that, just sooooo good. Salad bar was fresh, crisp and clean. Staff was always cleaning and filling up the stations with fresh dishes and foods. The cashier was friendly, quick and made us feel welcomed.
