Home Plate Restaurant

"Cafeteria style with delicious home cooked food! Nothing fancy but the best southern style food in Central NC! Eat it or take out. You get more than enough food too! I get 2 plates and it feeds my husband and I dinner and enough left over for his lunch for work the next day for $25."

"This is the proverbial hole in the wall. Love the food, the people are great, and the building leaves much to be desired. If you want great home style food, this is a great place for it. And the prices are excellent! I recommend to go, though."

"This place is absolutely amazing! Such a small town feel and great service. The food was great and the prices are very affordable."

"Really good southern food. I like the mashed potatoes and chicken the best. The fried pork chops are delicious and the sweet tea is really really good. All the sides are great. It’s buffet but they serve you so all the food is ready to eat. Only negative is it seems like every time I was to go they’re closed. They’re closed on weekends and close at 7:30 during the week. They closed for the entire week of the 4th but good for them! We will be back many times."

"COVID changed the way people do business. Some closed others adapted. While no longer necessary, this adaption to food bar seems to work well with friendly smiling laughing servers and ample portions for the money. There's plenty of seating inside. With so many fast food and other sit downs having trouble with help being rude, lazy and down right malicious, it is fast becoming very difficult to find good food and service while traveling. This place is a gem and an oasis in a desert of horrible chains. Even Cracker Barrels have suffered. So if you're hungry and possibly in a hurry, stop on by. ....... Me, for lunch I got 2 legs and thighs BBQ falling off the bone chicken, a side of yams, deviled eggs, a dinner roll, a chunk of peach cobbler and a drink all for $10. The chicken joints would have been well over 20 for all that and not even come close to all the options available to mix and match or mash. hehe."
