Ryan's

Pros: Eat until you are bursting your sides.
Cons: Temperature not correct. You may get sick.

If you paid me to go to Ryan's restaurant, I would say 'No thank you'.

I am not at all surprised that one of the two local restaurants went out of business.

The company has been around since 1977, starting in South Carolina....

Pros: All you can eat buffet
Cons: They changed the recipe for their rolls.

I used to love taking my family to Ryan's. Everyone could have what they wanted, multiple main courses, salads, desserts, and especially the rolls. But recently I've found that they have truly gone down-hill. And if they don't do something...

Pros: The All- You- Can- Eat Mega Bar Buffet
Cons: There is a Strong Tendency for People to Overeat

Ryan's Steakhouse is a family- style chain restaurant that was founded in Greenville, South Carolina, in 1978. It has since expanded to more than 300 locations in 22 states, with most locations in the southeast, midwest, and south central United States. ...

Pros: Some items were very tasty, I got my steak and dessert, inexpensive
Cons: Bustly atmosphere, some items weren't refilled quickly, a few yucky foods

I am not very experienced with the “all-you-can-eat buffet.” My family never, ever went to one when I was growing up, and I have been only a handful of times since then. On Saturday, my husband and I wanted steak. We are saving for vacation ...

Pros: Cheap, cheap, cheap and lots food on Mega Bar!
Cons: Lots of starches, food nothing special.

We have several locations of Ryan's in the metro Baton Rouge area. When they first opened they were an immediate hit. The place was packed no matter which location you went to. Now, several years later the popularity has worn off and several ...

Pros: Cost
Cons: Food has little flavor

It’s Father’s Day and I have just returned home from lunch. I’m sitting here and had to loosen my 36” belt and I’m feeling like I have just swallowed a watermelon. I have just been victimized by Ryan’s Mega Bar buffet.

The Ryan’s...

Pros: Huge selection of food.
Cons: Crowds, crowds, crowds.

My family and I used to go to Ryan's quite often. But then my children got a bit older and decided they didn't like it much any longer. We did try it again a few weeks ago.

Ryan's is best known for its buffets. You can get...

Pros: Decent steak for a good price
Cons: Where's my beer? Communism!

Before I get into the merits (there are some, really) of Ryan's, I should really explain a theory of mine. See, the Ryan's in my town doesn't serve beer, wine or liquor. I, therefore, suspect them of being communists of the worst stripe.

Why...

Pros: selection; good value
Cons: bland food; usually crowded

Ryan’s is a typical, family-oriented buffet and steak restaurant. We go there occasionally for a late lunch/early supper. The buffet selection is huge and Ryan’s offers many different meat-and-potatoes meals to choose from. We keep going back because...

Pros: Even the pickiest of people could find something to eat!
Cons: You get stuffed! I'm sorry I mean STUFFED!!

My family and I like going to Ryan's. Our kids even like to go there which is strange because the normally they want the greasy burgers. We normally get the mega-bar and everyone is pleased. There have only been a couple of times that we were ...

Pros: Good salad and desert bar; variety of food;
Cons: Buffets are unhygienic;

My family and I discovered Ryan's Steakhouse in Webster, Texas, several years ago. It's not real convenient to where we live, but we have visited it maybe six times. The last time I was there, I was horrified to see kids, old enough to know better,...

Pros: Ryan's food taste like real food, a very clean restaurant.
Cons: No problem whatsoever with Ryan's.

I had never heard of Ryan’s until a friend asks me if I had ever eaten at a Ryan’s.

It was I:00 p.m. and we pulled into a Ryan’s in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The buffet was at a special price of $6.99 a person; regular buffet price is $9.99 a...

Pros: all you can eat
Cons: wilted lettuce

Ryan's came to my hometown about six years ago. It was a very hot place from the start. Many days you would have to wait an hour for a seat, this was a given on the weekends.

The prices have stayed the same over the years, which I always...

Pros: Lots of food
Cons: Always crowded

My family has been to Ryan's Steakhouse many times over the years. We usually go with a group of six or more so this is somewhere that everyone will be able to find something that they like. Even though it is a Steakhouse, I've never ordered a...

Pros: Good food, good price period.
Cons: There were a couple see below.

When Ryan's first came to town it was the hit of the area. We had another buffet here that just did not measure up to what Ryan's offered.

The service was great, the food fantastic, the price out of this world for what you got. Over time...
