KFC Buffet Returns to Hope Mills Road in Fayetteville, North Carolina

Fried chicken and Southern sides bring a familiar buffet stop back to Fayetteville.

October 3, 2026 • North Carolina • BY BUFFET AUTHORITY

KFC buffet fans have a Fayetteville, North Carolina, stop to put back on their list. The restaurant at 2500 Hope Mills Road brought back its all-you-can-eat buffet earlier this year.

Local coverage of the return describes fried chicken, biscuits, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans and cabbage on the buffet.

The Fayetteville Observer photographed buffet service April 8; its gallery appeared April 13, marking the return to buffet service approaching its sixth month.

Customer accounts of the restaurant report a $12.99 meal, with staff replenishing trays and tending the line. The diner described a selection largely drawn from the regular KFC menu. More recent Google reviews, reproduced on the same site, mention the buffet in July and September.

Another stop for KFC buffet fans

KFC buffets have a following of their own. A Facebook group called KFC Buffet Aficionados maintains a map of locations; in 2025, a Business Insider writer made a three-hour drive to try the buffet in Dunn, North Carolina.

For the Hope Mills Road location’s buffet hours and today’s price, call 910-424-0038 before making a special trip.
