What People Are Saying About Old Country Buffet

In Short – A strip-mall mainstay throughout U.S. suburbs, this buffet-style restaurant caters to ravenous families who pay a flat per-head fee for all the comfort food they can chow down. Serving stations present everything from fried chicken to shrimp scampi, macaroni and cheese to steamed veggies. A do-it-yourself dessert bar allows diners to make their own sugary indulgence from a supply of brownies and cakes, syrupy toppings and multiple flavors of soft-serve ice cream.

A fast, American favorites bonanza
by Braids at Citysearch
A cross-section of American food favorites is on the menu each day. The salad bar has lots of fresh, crunchy variety. The potato salad has home-made flavor with a dash of sweet pickle. Chicken is always available with a choice of fried or baked. There is a carving station with at least 2 choices from turkey, ham or roast beef. There are nightly specials. Desserts are the low spot, but there is no need for them after grazing all of the other options.
- Pros: fast, variety, inexpensive
- Cons: crowded, bland, inconsistent
