Sandpiper Buffet

Sandpiper is no longer open for buffet. They do not want to open the dining room and pay servers, if you're looking for a place to go eat in the dining room, this is not it? This is strictly a carry out only restaurant. You drive up, tell them what you want, Wait in your car, and they will bring it to you, BS. IF I GO OUT TO EAT, I WANT TO GO OUT. SIT DOWN AND ENJOY MY MEAL. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE, the owner needs to sell to someone who will open As a restaurant, as it should be with open dinning room and buffet. Food quality, taste has gone down hill tremendously ever since they closed back when covid took over. From your local food critic

Ever since they stopped the buffet it's been an absolutely embarrassing curbside eyesore... my family enjoyed this restaurant for 20+ years now it's worth the Smithfield price for better quality of food. They're no longer competitive against other family restaurants blocks away from their front door. Fullers, Smithfield BBQ, grandsons to name a few. They've become nothing in an area they were the cream of the crop. I hope owners consider bringing the buffet and passion back or please close the doors. The old man is rolling in his grave for what you've done with the decades of hard work.

This is our first time to eat here. The food was hot and delicious. My favorites are the homemade mashed potatoes and gravy and, fried chicken, cabbage (I loved the fact it is shredded), okra & tomatoes, beef liver & onions in gravy, yeast rolls, fried trout and the homemade apple crisp with ice cream. I enjoyed the food and we will be back.

When I lived in the area 11+ years ago, this was one of my favorite restaurants. So when I had a chance to come back it was high on my list to visit. It didn't disappoint. I didn't care for the ribs, but enjoyed pretty much everything else including the fried pork chop, baby shrimp, sweet chili chicken, and the fixins. Desert was great too. Enjoyed a tiny bit of banana pudding and peach cobbler. Both were excellent. The place was clean and the staff was friendly. It was a little toasty though. More AC please.

Been eating sandpaper since I was 8 years old. I just turned 40, food I got yesterday as expensive as I was absolutely disgusting the shrimp was pure crumbs and bread and over cooked the mac n cheese need sharp cheddar and the tea just no effort of love put in the food.
