Please note, this review goes for both old country buffets and hometown buffets (owned by the same company) for more info please visit www.oldcountrybuffet.com. Thank you! Please also note DO NOT GO TO BUFFET PLACES WHEN THERE ARE NOT MANY PEOPLE THERE. that means that they most likely have not refilled the buffets with fresh food!!! Thank you again!!! ;) :)

R E C O M M E D A T I O N S :
The 2nd best place for families
Good for travelling buisness people. Good value for the buck they really need some Wi-Fi access points! that would be really awesome!!!!
S T A R T R E V I E W :
The old country buffet is a good place for the family to go when they want to really fill it up! I've only been here 3 times and I may be rusty on the detials since it was a very long time since I've been there, so please bear with me! Thanks!
L A Y O U T :
When you first walk in it looks like the typical buffet place. It has one set on doors going in and at the other side, one set of doors going out. Could be inconvient at times but you can manage and not have to go out the right doors. The overall layout is great and pretty efficiantly laid out. I found it to be really easy to figure out the whole place I have a really good sense of direction! anywho.... anyone can fugure out where something is! Layout/10/10
A T M O S P H E R E :
This place has a way better atmopshere than golden corral's! Atleast it's not as hectic and all pushy-shovy! I like it. They do play decent music... a piped-in variety channel. And whenever someone approaches you (they hardly ever do!) they are very nice. One thing you need to know about OCB is that they do not have waiters/waitresses giving you refills or giving you fresh plates, all of it is done yourself. they do, however, clean your table. That's the only thing they really do.The meat carver was really cute and soo nice!!! he carved my meat so niceley.......
Atmo-sphere 7/10
F O O D :
The food is great here with everything you'd expect from a big buffet place like this one. I think the selection is great with some foods that ryan's and PON-BON doesnt have (pon-bon -> ponderosa/bonanza bon-pretty much kaput around here needs a facelift!!! pon-umm.. ok but needs their image worked on...) They have excellent mashed potatoes! they are not all lumpy and underdone... they are nice and fluffy... and I can inhale them!! That's the way i eat pudding and MP's!!! and thier chicken!!!! UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!! excellent!!! The very cute meat carver kinda made the ham taste better!!! he was sue hot!!!actually Ive never had a problem with the food thier all of it was good!!!! even some of the food I normally would not eat was super there!!! but the chicken and MP's and pudding was the best... and their pork and ham!! makes my mouth water just thinking about it!!!!
O T H E R :
Their services on the web have been excellent! they reply to emails and site communications expediantly and they were reallly nice... in one email I got they were relaly nice in aplogizing for a location closing. and the email whene I complemented them they were very cool!!! Thier website is nice,could be updated with new website tech like flash and DHTML and have a forum for all of us hungry people to share our ideas on the place. Overall a very great site!!!! good job!
C O N C L U S I O N :
A great place to eat and hang out with your freinds, awesome delicious food,excellent value!!!!
I hope that you enjoy this review and you have a great expenince at OCB and HTB!!!!!! take care and chow down!!! ;)
