General Pickett's Buffet

Arrived, to empty restaurant. Were told after hesitation that they would not be able to serve us due to a bus coming in. Okay, I get that; but perhaps a sign should be placed at the door to say Closed for Special Event or some such. Not acceptable. I had started a video bragging up this establishment but not any longer. Don’t bother wasting your time to just be rudely turned away once inside.

hi. this was mid. the only good part about my experience here was that a lady was nice to me in the bathroom. personally, it wasn't my cup of tea. but, others could possibly enjoy this. the mac and cheese was under-seasoned, but it was okay. i think the ranch was mislabeled, as it tasted more like blue cheese. there was quick and efficient service, which is good. the gift shop was nice too with lots of variety. and i enjoyed the cucumbers.

I went as a school group and the workers were not very friendly. They were very strict but I understand that they were busy and wanted to get the point across of how we need to go. I think that the layout could have been better. One of the bars was very close to the wall and made it difficult to move around it. They table were close together which also made it difficult to navigate. The food was good but I don't know about the pricing as it was a school trip and the chaperones had paid for it. I would also make sure to make a reservation as when I went it was very crowded and I don't think you would get in quickly without a reservation on a busy day

I've said it a million times and i'll say it one more time, I absolutely love General Picketts! We go here every year on my dad's DC trip and i'll admit it's one of my favorite stops on the trip. The staff are so kind, the food is awesome, the gift shop has great stuff for great prices, and overall its a great environment!
