Food 3/5 Service 3/5…read moreAmbiance 3/5 Going to a buffet, you don't really expect too much. You expect lots of cheap food, and World Buffet delivers on that promise. It's a small buffet with a decent selection of options, some of which actually stand out in a good way. There's a good barbecue chicken reminiscent of bourbon chicken that I got seconds of. But most of the food there is quite middling - the lo mein had a few cold spots, the veggies could have been executed a bit better, and the crab rangoons could have definitely been filled more. Overall, it averages out to a solid 3/5 review. Meets expectations for a buffet.

Service: 4/5 - quick service but definitely not the most friendly. When we were checking out, we were confused at the pricing since we were charged more than expected but the server wouldn't explain in English and kept defaulting to Chinese. Ambiance: n/a - packed a to go box. Value for price: 3/5 - for how much we were charged, should have just ordered a dish rather than packing our own food.

We came here on Christmas Day and for the price, this buffet is excellent!…read more Generally speaking, the food was fresh and even an hour before close, they were still adding hot items. The standouts were the hot & sour soup, the peanut butter chicken, and the shrimp. The ice cream was a little weird, but the almond cookies were great. The staff was quiet, but attentive. I would come again. I think it was like $13/person?

We usually don't go out to buffets all that often but this place was recommended by my little…read morebrother. It is on the corner spot of a small little strip in Mchenry to start. There was quite a bit of folks there so obviously it's a known and respected establishment in town. You walk into a clean establishment and you pay for the amount of people eating. I believe that we paid $28 for the 2 of us before tip which i felt was rather fair for a legitimate all you can eat chinese buffet. After you pay you go find whichever seating you would like/ can find. We chose a booth which was nice as we prefer them because both of our backs are bad so it was nice to sit comfortably. The food is mainly chinese throughout besides the dessert section which had a nice spread. They even had a little bit of pizza and mac and cheese available which is good if you have a younger one with you maybe not willing to take on chinese food just yet. The food was ok. It was not bad by any means, but it also did not check my box for being above average. It just tasted like middle of the road chinese food, which mind you in a buffet setting is totally fine with me especially considering you can just select items you enjoy more than others. They also have to prep and cook large amounts of different items quickly too so i was not necessarily expecting everything to be super tip top tasting. If i had to choose a word for the food it would be serviceable for sure and there was a ton of it! I am rating this spot a 4/5 stars this time around because you have to put everything into perspective. The food itself was not a true 4/5 but you do have to know what you're getting yourself into when you come through the doors. You pay a rather cheap price for a crap ton of food! We left stuffed and had a good time which in my book is what really counts , again considering the price! So all in all if you are in the area, i would totally recommend this to anyone maybe looking to save a few dollars and get a ton of food as well. The staff was nice and even brought our drinks to the table for us which was a nice thing that stood out to me. Definitely a spot that I would come back to for sure and might even bring my little brother along to thank him for the reasonable suggestion!!! Grand Buffet you are alright in my book!!!!

Buffets can be hit-or-miss, but Pizza Ranch in Burlington really delivered. Every single item on…read morethe buffet was hot and fresh, with a great selection to choose from. The chicken was moist with a perfectly crispy coating, the mashed potatoes were surprisingly delicious, and the dessert pizzas were a standout favorite. We also ordered a custom pizza, and they gladly made it fresh for us. Service was exceptional from start to finish--when we walked in, the cashier greeted us warmly, asked if anyone was a senior, and even noticed my guest's Vietnam hat, offering him the veteran discount. That kind of attentiveness really stood out. If I judged only on food, I'd probably give it 4 stars since buffet food rarely matches freshly prepared meals. But the quality here was strong, and the outstanding service pushed it up to 5 stars. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Pizzas are made and placed on buffet line, but you can order a pizza fresh and get how many slices you want before it goes out. The fried chicken is my absolute favorite. It's so crispy and flavorful. For dessert we got root beer from the fountain drink area and got ice cream from the Mach and made root beer floats. They were so good. The service was pretty quick and the area was clean. I signed up for there reward system while I was there. I will definitely be back.

As far as Chinese buffets in this area go, this restaurant was highly recommended by our friends…read more We were pleasantly surprised by how huge the restaurant is. Lots of seating and tables. When you walk in, the host brings you to a table and asks for your drink order. Then, you're free to go to peruse and choose your food. There are three rows of food, plus the raw oysters, hibachi fixings & STEAK!!! On the far wall are more desserts - cake, mousse, cookies & ice cream. My husband loved choosing his own steak and how to cook it on the grill. For me, the food was tasty, but it was the vast variety that won me over. Good experience. $17.99/pax for dinner.

I've gone here several times in the past 6 months and it seems as if their service and food quality…read morehas gone downhill. The waitresses never smile, they'll seat us at tables with other people, and they yell at us from across the room to be seated rather than coming up to greet us. Friendly service really goes a long way, but they're not providing that anymore. Some of my favorite items like the Green Beans and Hot n Sour Soup are not seasoned well anymore, and are significantly better at other buffets, but it's mostly the service that needs a change.

We used to come here for Sunday brunch with my mom before she moved to the west coast - and as she…read morepassed away a year ago today, we decided we'd come here today in her honor, as she always liked the place. I always thought it was fine though not memorable, just your standard buffet, but I've read that they have new owners and I can tell the difference. Now, I can definitely see being a regular here, and coming to check out their other offerings too other than just brunch. Everything I tried was perfectly made, from the prime rib to the eggs benedict (really great!) to the desserts. Even the champagne was excellent! And the service was next level. My brother uses a walker and they gave us a choice of tables (any of them would have worked) and were so helpful in every respect (even accommodating his special request for something that wasn't on the buffet - they have saintly patience!). They were all just so NICE - having just moved back to the midwest from the west coast, I'm still getting used to midwesterner niceness, but even with that everyone here was exceptional. I'm looking forward to coming back not just for brunch, but also bringing friends back for the fish fry, which also sounds great. And for old-fashioneds!

Food and service are great at both locations!…read more I like that Verona allows reservations but DeFroest does not and it fills up quick on a Friday night and parking is limited. Friday night fish fry IS A MUST!!! It is such a value and one of the best fish fry's we've had. I love that you have so many choices for sides and your not just stuck with fries and slaw. Verona also has a great outdoor space as well. We're hoping at some point they will branch out to McFarland, Monona or east Madison as it's about a 30 minute drive for us to get to any of there locations. They are such a hit, I can not imagine them not being successful at yet another location.
