NORTH CAROLINA — Listen up, gluttons — if you’re looking for the best place to fill your stomach (and then fill it again), The Daily Meal has you covered with its recently released list of best all-you-can-eat deals in every state, including North Carolina.

To determine which restaurants fill and refill our plates beyond compare, The Daily Meal sniffed out the most beloved all-you-can-eat spots and judged them based on food selection, décor, ratings on review sites and level of local infamy.

The result? A tasty, gut-busting selection of eateries definitely worth the trip.

In North Carolina, Casey’s Buffet was selected as the best place to satiate a grumbling belly. Located in Wilmington, this restaurant is a “no-frills buffet filled to the brim with soul food classics. You will find spot-on barbecue pork, fried and baked chicken, catfish, whiting, chitlins, mac and cheese, pigs’ feet and a slew of sides and desserts. This place is a true Southern icon, serving loads of Southern dishes that the rest of the world needs to try,” The Daily Meal said.

While buffets tend to get diners the most bang for their buck, it’s important to remember food safety rules — and manners — still apply. Don’t eat in the buffet line and, for the love of dinner rolls, do not use your hands to pick up food.

Here are some other buffet etiquette and safety tips, according to a Washington State University report on consumer food safety:

• After arriving at the restaurant, go into the bathroom and wash your hands.
• Use the serving utensil that is provided for each specific food item. Do not use one utensil to serve several food items.
• The sneeze guard is there to protect the food. Do not put your head or body under it.
• If you have long sleeves that may dangle into the food, roll them up if possible.
• When going back for additional servings, use a clean plate. Don’t take your eating utensils with you.
• Be sure to take what you touch. Don’t change your mind and put food back.
