    Yum! We were starving after a long day of moving and this place hit the spot. Host and server were quick and friendly. Hibachi cook was also efficient. Salad ingredients were very fresh, and they had an extensive dessert selection. Beautiful decorations. Great for families. We'll be back!

    While in the Fort Myers area, I became hungry, I saw the sign, Buffet City. Said to myself, "Let's try it." And wow, I was not disappointed. This has got to be the largest buffet in the local area. I came in at the tail end of the lunch rush at approximately 1330 hours. Not too busy at all, still the selection was as far as the eye can see , the food hot and fresh. I've been to a few buffets in the Naples & Fort Myers area. Buffet City, by far, has them all beat. #Foodie #BuffetLover #Naples #FortMyers

    Sushi  Raw tuna for sushi and sashimi sitting out for God knows how long and not a fridge in sight

    The food is okay so far i havent found another buffet i liked as much as i liked this one. Its a good thing i only ever eat the cooked sushi because seeing this today kind of scared me, with all the risks that come with eating raw fish, letting it sit out and lose temp like this is literally a stomach virus waiting to happen. The workers are always walking around which is a plus so there will always be someone there to help. Now all the other food is kept hot and the salad bar is good, only complaint is that the raw fish is just sitting there. Its a family establishment so kids are welcome and i also think service animal are welcomed. Its warm and cozy in there the lights are pretty dim so the vibes are cool. If youre planning on going on the weekend go early because it fills up really fast but i just wished time temperature control was being taken mire seriously especially with something that you see as you walk in there.

    All I could get out of them. No wonder they make you pay ahead!!  Never there or anywhere else will I pay before I get what I paid for!

    The worst experience at a restaurant, ever! Horrible food, horrible service, horrible communication, horrible management. Made a reservation for my 10yr old daughter's birthday. Spoke to young man who sounded like a Floridian. I very clearly stated that I was making the reservation because I have 20 people, and family coming in from out of town. I needed to make sure that the tables were set up and ready to go so we can sit together and if possible decorating ahead of time. So we went over this and mentioned in general they don't sit anyone until the entire party is there. But we cleared that up and he agreed there would be no problems seating everyone as they came, especially since I had family driving into town. So...... They WOULD NOT SEAT MY FAMILY that arrived before me. Finally after most of the group got there they sat us,,.AT 4 DIFFERENT TABLES. I didn't even get to start my salad and finish saying hi to every and she was asking me to pay. ALL OF THE FOOD WAS DISGUSTING!!! Inedible! for that many options ( this, and the pretty tree and pond, is why my daughter requested it) you would think I could find something other than a salad I could eat. Everything tasted like, in all seriousness, they have a rodent problem. They were using dirty dishes, The seafood bar does not meet food regulations. That will be my next call. Especially after how I was treated. I said well maybe it's just me. Nope. My entire family did not like anything. Some thought the desert bar was ok. My 2 sisters said the only thing they will eat there is the hibachi grill. Had to ask for the manager 3 times and the server didn't speak English barely so that was frustration enough. 2 different women came to my table. No apologies for the table set up No apologies for the food and how horrible it was. Told them I ate a salad but once I started eating my current plate and ate 2 shrimp and bite of steak....could not eat anymore. So bad I couldn't eat anything at my daughter all you can buffet,' So bad this fat and broke chick couldn't eat. And because my waitress was so pushy, my whole family got to hear the ear full No negotiations. Ummm... not negotiating. You ruined my family get together in multiple ways. I just wanted to even be able to eat what I paid for. I want my money back. Nope, sorry you ate a salad. I didn't stop eating because I was full. That's different. I would be concerned about losing 20 customers, my reputation, and food quality . She seemed to not care or she hears it a lot that her food is terrible. J don't sayI stopped eating because your food tastes like dirt and mouse shit. She was rude and dismissive. Not adjusting one thing onmy bill. Not apologizing for the food, or the experience, the tables... nothing. The end of the back of forth was me wondering why she wouldn't want to help out one customer one time, that just brought you in 20 customers. Instead of losing all of forever. Front desk refused to give me the owners info. Not going back. Ever. I'm eating my microwave burrito at home and it tastes better.

    Are there peal and eat shrimp out at lunch?

    Are the crawfish spicy boiled or are they cold on ice with no flavor?

    They are on a hot steam table with peppers and pieces of corn on the cob. Not too spicy in my opinion unless you get some of the peppers. 🌶️

    Do they still have the full buffet with the Covid stuff?

    Yes,full buffet works.

First off, they are flexible in terms of not everyone at the table has to get the same choice. If one person only wants hot pot, while everyone else wants both, that's fine. Pricing is decent and competitive. Worth the price tag. We are typically hot pot people but I must say with this restaurant, I think I favored the KBBQ more. There were plenty of bbq options including butter shrimp, bulgogi, pork belly and short ribs. I loved it all! You can also ask the server for white rice and they will bring it to your table. The hot pot options were great as well. I enjoyed the rolled fatty beef, the crabs, and the many options that were going around on the conveyer belt. They had a variety of broth options. My partner loved the spicy option. We will definitely be back!

This place has gone downhill, and continues to do so as the years go on. One main issue is the amount of people. There is NO maximum capacity in this place, even when said so. Most of the time, there's Americans that have ten generations of their family bloodline taking up 65% of the dining room, or the elderly who are filled with hatred and have nothing better to do, making a fuss, arguing with other customers and taking each other's space. You also have no choice on where to sit, depending where you sit, you may not be allowed to sit in that area for any reason, and there's a few where you can only sit at if it's a private party or if you let the manager know, which is reasonable, but some areas aren't, and sometimes, one of the employees near that area will refuse to tell you the reason, and give you a side eye. The food is okay, but most of the time, it's dry, bland, or not made properly at all, and I can't blame them because they're always in a rush, or yelling at customers exactly how they want the food made, maybe it's because the millions of people you're letting in all at once go crazy? The good part about place I can name are the nice employees, manager checking in on you if everything's okay.

We came here for an early dinner and we were glad we did! The ambiance is casual, colorful and very cute. This is not an up scale restaurant and more like Brazilian country style. The artifacts form Brazil are all over the place with painting on the wall. They look straight out Brazil. There is a little music stage corner near the entrance. Our original intension is sample their Sirlion Picanha and Moqueca Fish Stew with shrimp. Our waitress, Anna, answered our questions on menu with a wonderful smile. We quickly realized this is too much food and to switch to Skewer of Meats or Espeto de Churrasco with two appetizers, Coxinha and Cod Croquettes or Bolinhos de bacalhau We started off with a Caipiritas or a Caipirinha with a small Corona beer. It has a little tart, and refreshing taste with a little hint of sweetness. Next, we shared the Coxinha with chicken filling. This is a popular Brazilian street food snack. The Cod Croquettes is a traditional Portuguese dish with a mixture of potatoes, codfish, eggs, onion and a little nutmeg. They crunchy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside! The Skewer came standing on a heavy wooden base. It has steak of sirloin Picanha, succulent smoked sausage and chicken wrapped in bacon. The meats were all delicious. We were so full that we skip dessert completely! No flan or passionfruit mousse tonight. The price is reasonable, a good place to try out Brazilian cuisine!
