Southern California residents traveling - we went here for dinner. My wife loves this place. The…read morefood was amazing. Service was first class. The owner has been operating this business for 30 years (as of Feb 2026). The buffet had a beautiful fresh selection of veggies and few special things too. The brisket was melt in your mouth and the BBQ chicken was moist and feel off the bone. The sausage was not spicy but very flavorful. The dinner rolls are like clouds! And the strawberry pie, brownies and peach cobble and chocolate pudding and ice cream were available if you still had room for them! Not only would we whole hearty recommend we may go back for breakfast! Thank you Terry!

*** This is the restaurant gem of Lovington, New Mexico ***…read more On Friday nights, Pioneer Steak House is packed! There was a nice big parking lot. How it works... you either sign in or let the hostess know how many. The lobby area is tiny. There are seats but you'll probably have to share a bench. They accommodate large parties of it seems up to 12. I kept hearing that number. Lol. On 7.11.2025, I was seated at a a quieter area by myself. Reba took over as my waitress. She is the sweetest little ol' lady! She brought me fresh rolls. Even one to-go before I left. The buffet seemed interesting, but I wanted the 8 oz. ribeye steak ($16.95 with a side & a salad bar visit). They served it in a reasonable amount of time, medium rare. It was perfect. Good fatty pieces to keep it juicy. Reba asked me if I wanted steak sauce. No thanks. Not needed. Before that I visited the salad bar. It's a decent salad bar. The ladies refresh it often and tidy it up. I just don't like the tight fit and the cords in the way on the floor if you have to use the other side like I did. The steamed broccoli with my steak was fine. I had sweet tea to drink ($2.75). All that food for just a little over $21... I'm a fan!

OVERALL Buffet Time in Hobbs, NM, is great for those friends…read moreor family who don't know what the h*** they want to eat. Lol. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 3 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 2 | Price: 3 PARKING At dinner (aka lunch for non-cowboys) time on Sunday, this place is typically packed. Nonetheless, there was still free, ample space for the mini van in their private lot on 8/13/2023. LOCATION/AMBIANCE This place has changed significantly within the past few years for the better. That being said, there were many nuisances for me personally that will not being me back as often as I had hoped. The floors are dirty. Super dirty. The wheels on the carts they use to bus the tables and bring out the food squeak and are loud rolling across the tile. The place gets loud in general so much that it was difficult to have a conversation with the other three members of my lunch group. THE GRUB This is strictly buffet food. Most of it is Asian-inspired, however, there were options like spaghetti and pizza. My favorites were the orange chicken and spicy shrimp with the veggie rice. The spring rolls were good, but the egg rolls tasted strange. Also, there was a wok station and a self-serve ice cream station with 6 different flavors! LITTLE YELPER'S CLUBThey charge based on the child's age. SERVICE Our waitress was the hardest hustler in our dining area. MY FAVORITE PART... There were SO many buffet items! NOT SO FAVORITE PART... Rude patrons who don't look at on-coming walkers and screaming kids! TIPS + Bottled beer is served here. + Pay before you get seated at the front entrance. They give you a ticket with your assigned seats. Wait for the waiters to take your drink order. You may ask for to-go cups. Then help yourself at the buffet!

I have read about Hobbs Buffet in the news and decided to stop by with my family when they came to…read morevisit me over the weekend and I took them to Hobbs. This cafeteria-style buffet is located in the mall, has ample parking, and has an inviting and pleasant ambiance. We arrived an hour before opening, not realizing the time difference between Texas and New Mexico so we walked around the little mall until opening time. Hobbs Buffet is a former Furr's that has been purchased by new owners who kept most of the menu items, as well as the buffet format, in place. There are still some signage in place that indicate that this was once a Furr's. However, there is an addition of Vietnamese offerings which sets this place apart from a typical cafeteria. The management and employees were very friendly and certainly went out of the way to make sure my family and I had a good lunch. The food is fresh, the portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable with a senior citizens' discount available. They serve Coca Cola products at Hobbs Cafeteria. I will certainly return the next time I am in the area!

I hate to say it but I am devastated to discover that the food is so good here! We have been…read morestaying with my in-laws for a bit now (in the process of preparing our house to sell and buy a new one) and so we have been exploring restaurants in the area for once, which I'm sure we will be continuing to do when we come back in the future too. And frankly this is the best steak kabob, rice pilaf, and fries that I've had in a long time. It beyond hits the spot! Where we went wrong, however, is by ordering it for pickup via DoorDash, as that is what comes up as an option via Google. I am disabled and currently very sick so I sent my husband to pick it up for me and when he got there, they said they had the order and that it would be right out. The manager brought the food out and asked him if he would be paying with cash or card. When my husband explained it was prepaid via DoorDash, her friendly demeanor changed and she LAID INTO HIM about how "you DoorDash drivers know better than to come in here like customers! You are supposed to go in the other entrance and pick up your orders there!" He explained he wasn't a driver for DoorDash and didn't know anything about that because it was a pickup order for his wife but she couldn't care less. It's too bad the food is so good because if you treat my husband poorly, we aren't coming back to keep giving you our money in the future. Please fix how you treat people! Even if he was a DoorDash driver, that behavior was uncalled for! Everyone has feelings and it's still money coming into your business!
