OK Chinese Buffet in Fayetteville has always made me giggle a little bit.

While some Chinese restaurants opt for "Super" or "No. 1," I enjoy that this spot went with "OK."

I've mentioned before how I love going to Chinese buffets to get takeout - the perk of variety while enjoying it at home.

There were a good bit of dishes to choose from, which included all my favorites.

General Tsos, dumplings, crab, rangoons. Check, check, check and check.

Tucked away in Water Stone Outdoors is a new small coffee bar.

RangeFinderCoffee focuses on specialty espresso and coffee drinks. They serve La Terza Coffee beans, which are "ethically sourced and roasted to perfection."

The menu is not large, but the focus on coffee is clear.

I went for a mocha with oat milk - something you don't really see everywhere!

He made a version, then had me taste it to see if it was to my liking.

If you're looking for a strong cup of joe, this is your place.

New River Curry House is Fayetteville's newest restaurant.

Featuring Indian dishes from the Punjab region of India, near the border with Pakistan, the restaurant has a modern-meets-rustic vibe.

Think wooden accents and potted greenery.

I looked over the menu, and I wanted to try everything.

But I started with an order of Samosas - and I got sides of Tamarind chutney and Raita chutney. One was a sweeter chutney, and the other was close to a tzatziki.

And then paneer pakora - which is cheese and chickpea.

And take a look at this cool drink I had to wash it all down with: Basil Seed - pineapple flavor. It has these little gummy-ish seeds inside. Very unique.

For my entree, I went with chicken tikka masala, which is savory, yet a bit creamy.


And for my side, I went with the potato pave - it's a crispy potato cake.



Bill went for a pork belly, which also look delish.

Fayetteville's Big Dam Pizza moved locations to be in more of downtown Fayetteville proper.

Known for have gigantic slices of pizza, this shop makes it so you don't really need more than one slice.

I ordered one with mushrooms, as well as a pepperoni roll.

Look at that giant piece! Have you been here yet?

The Freefolk Brewery is Fayetteville's newest craft beer destination.


The brewery has a number of craft beers on tap, which range from pale ales and blonde ales to IPAs and goses.

I ordered a flight so I could try a few of their unique brews - Ubiquitous, Pretty Polly, Moon Dog, and Gorgeous 876.

Here's what I went with - a bevy of light beers!

While I waited, I took a look around at the incredible art.

This space is truly phenomenal, with colorful art decorating the walls, as well as metal work outside.

My beer came out, and I sampled each. I was a fan of each and every one of them.

And, I needed some nourishment so I went with nachos topped with shrimp.

Look at that beauty! Some smokey and creamy and crunchy. One of my favorite snacks.

As I make my way through Fayetteville's restaurants, I stumbled upon Elliott's Whitewater Bar & Grill.

Known for having great wings in the Fayetteville area, this restaurant is actually located underneath the Quality Inn.

My friend Audra and I got a quick snack before an event.

I went with some cheese fires - loaded with bacon, cheddar and monterey, served with ranch.

And a half order of boneless wings in honey hot sauce.

While at an event in Fayetteville, I stumbled upon Honey Blossom Bake Shop.

This small bakery had an assortment of all sorts of goodies - brownies and tarts and all sorts.

I ended up going with two things:

This tasty brownie.

And this rice krispie treat.
