Lunch and Night Plates
Oneal's Country Buffet is a hometown country buffet with a clear rhythm. Lunch runs most days, so midday visits fit an easy stop for people building the day around work, errands, or a family break. The pace is simple: come in, settle down, and choose a meal that suits the time you have.
Friday and Saturday shift to a seafood buffet at night. That gives the week a second service window, with dinner set apart from the lunch hours that carry the rest of the schedule. The buffet format suits both plans. Some guests want a quick midday plate. Others come later for a fuller evening meal.
The name says the style plainly. Country buffet means the food is set out for choice, with the guest moving through the line and building a plate in the order that works best for them. Lunch and dinner both fit that pattern, but the night service on Friday and Saturday gives the place a different feel after dark. See the buffet line details
