2 month agoIt broke my heart to find out this place has been closed permanently. I enjoyed the food and service. It was nice to support a small business like this, avoiding all the chain restaurants. I hope something similar takes its place. I drove from Atlantic Beach to eat here because I felt like it was a true Southern town here and dine at a true Southern restaurant with all the delicious food. With so many transplants, including myself from California, it doesn’t feel like the South in Atlantic Beach. I only went here once and was hoping to come at least once a month. I wish the owners and all who worked here all the best.

2 month agoThe service was excellent, and the waitress was friendly and attentive. The food was good, but some dishes were off a little. The stewed tomatoes and rice were delicious and I enjoyed the pear cobbler

2 month agoFrom what I've understood on the reviews they don't normally do breakfast, at least on it is says lunch and dinner so breakfast with Santa was amazing. Everyone was super nice. The food could have been better, it seems they couldn't keep eggs up, and the meet seemed well cooked but over all I think there was things everyone could enjoy. Amazing time. Would definitely come back to try out their later menu.

3 month agoRarely do I have the opportunity to go to buffets, and was really glad I was in the area to try B-Macs. If you're looking for a southern buffet with all the fixins, look no further. We visited on a Saturday and they had fish, shrimp (fried or old bay seasoned), fried chicken and baked chicken. I especially liked the fish and shrimp... both ways. All the sides you can think of: mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, grits, biscuits, corn bread, stewed tomatoes, cabbage, fried okra and squash, rice, gravy, pasta salad and even a salad bar and dessert bar + ice cream! Even picky eaters can rejoice. Definitely a good value for the price. We will go back, and maybe try the Dunn Ave location.

3 month agoThe food was very good. Loved the fried chicken and Mac and cheese. Very reasonably priced for all you can eat. Glad someone finally filled up that commercial location that has been sitting empty for years. Based on how busy they were, I think they will be around for awhile. Nice work!
