Fiddler’s Restaurant in Abingdon is a Southern-style comfort food buffet that serves a mix of breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day. It’s located just off I-81, which makes it a frequent stop for travelers through Southwest Virginia.
"The Young family has been operating restaurants in Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee for over fifty years. They are committed to providing classic American favorites with outstanding customer service in a relaxed family atmosphere. Fiddler's menu offers a wide variety of appetizer, burgers, sandwiches, steaks and BBQ plus our famous all-you-can eat buffet," reads the website.
They do have a menu, which offers options like burgers, fried green tomatoes and wings. But, it seemed like the buffet was far and away the most popular option.
The first section of the buffet that I encountered featured broccoli, chicken fritters, potatoes, fish, carrots and fried okra.
Following that, we had some mixed veggies, rolls, mac & cheese, green beans, mashed potatoes and BBQ.
There were some desserts and salad options intermixed with everything else.
Rather than all the hot main entrees together and then all the sides together, it was a bit more freeform. So, each section was a whole new surprise. That certainly kept it interesting.
As is often the case with buffet food, heat and air exposure dry things out a little bit. Things get a little tougher. And, well, there's the general cleanliness of a handle making its way into the food itself.
Overall, not a bad stop. A decent fill-up with a comfort food angle. But nothing to go out of your way for.
