Old Country Buffet

Pros: Reasonable price, variety of foods
Cons: white trash staff/clientele

I generally have liked going to the Old Country Buffet since food has become so expensive in grocery stores. Salads in my area can cost $4.50 alone. Add meats, vegetables, and other foods on top of that -- and you can wind up spending at least $20 or so. ...

Pros: Fair price, unlimited food of mediocre quality.
Cons: Dirty dishes, mislabled foods, lack of English speakers.

I'm a vegetarian, too, but Old Country Buffet in West Des Moines, IA, has lots of things I'll eat. Unfortunately, they usually don't offer any protein sources. One manager did bring me some uncontaminated (by meat) beans, which was a nice gesture. The ...

Pros: Excellent selection, pleasant atmosphere. Healthy choices available.
Cons: Not gourmet cuisine!

Eating at this buffet chain is like eating at home with a wider selection and an infinitely large kitchen.

Starting with a more than adequate salad bar, you can begin to fill up on the low point (oops, did I mention I was a lifetime member of...

Pros: Large selection of food, clean
Cons: Food is below average quality, too loud, too many unattended children

Whenever I attend the OCB, I feel as though I'm at a horrid sub-par Las Vegas buffet. I know you can't expect miracles from an under 10.00 all-you-can-eat, but the quality is pretty bad.

I will give them this.....the salad bar, ice cream bar,...

Pros: Great selection, no more kids fighting for something.
Cons: one trip and your dieting effort for the last 3 month's wiped out.

Considering the large selection of food, many of them that are good to great. You'd be tempted to g ...

Pros: Good food, Nice wait staff, Clean.
Cons: Can't find any!

My husband wanted to go here forever. I kept putting him off until finally I decided to give it a chance. I'm so happy that I did. Set in country style, it felt like eating at home without all the work. Many different foods to choice from, and all of...

Pros: Old Country is convenient.price not bad.
Cons: Poor upkeep on buffet line. Food temp questionable.

I have had some mixed experience3s with Old Counrty Buffet.
Most of the time,I find at least 2 items I just dont like the appearance of.I only go there now if i'm in a hurry and don't have time to cook a decent meal.I've had problems in the past...

Pros: The one in my area finally closed down.
Cons: They haven't all shut down.

Can you tell I didn't like this restaurant in the least. Believe me if I could give it NO stars I would. I doubt it was just one bad experience, but I hope that it was. As I worked my way through the college cafeteria-like dinning room to the first...

Pros: not usually crowded
Cons: the FOOD

The Old Country Buffet nearest to me is 45 minutes away. I have been there on several occasions to dine with family at get togethers. I have yet to be impressed with the quality of the food there. Half of the time most of the food pans are empty or...

Pros: relatively inexpensive, lots of choices, good breakfast, good for kids
Cons: food low quality, often cold, hangout for white trash

I used to come here once a week with my mom and her friends for a few years... and when I was young and didn't care about food (and didn't pay) I liked it... although it was certainly never my favorite.

Now a days, after I have eaten a lot of...

Pros: all you can it
Cons: if you can stomach it

I recently visited Old Country Buffet in Milwaukee WI for breakfast. I had had a few good experiences there--when I was pregnant 7 years ago, had the appetite of a cow and all you can eat places were not as big as they are now. I had previously been...

Pros: great selection of great food!
Cons: can be crowded at times

This is one of my favorite places to go out to eat. Everyone in my family enjoys it, so it is a great place to take the family to. The food is just great here. You can have stuff like chicken and mashed potatoes, all the way to that delicious...

Pros: none
Cons: terrible food

Me and my friends like to call the Old Country Buffet the Old Country Gorge. Just because you can gorge yourself with the worst tasting food on the planet, yet somehow walk away satisfied.

The most unappealing aspect of OCB is the fact that...

Pros: Decent price, lovely atmosphere, and good food
Cons: Not much variety

I've never been very adventurous, but when my grandma told us how much she likes Old Country Buffet we had to go give it a try. The dining room was beautifully decorated, and it had a quiet, nice restaurant feel to it. The servers didn't bustle about...

Pros: sit down, variety , all you can eat
Cons: busy, some food inedible, over priced

We used to frequent this restaurant on an average of 3 times a week,
until recent occurrences.
We enjoyed dining in their restaurants as it is a buffet style, and when feeding a family of 8 it was our best option when we ate out.
They...
