    The family wanted to come to King Buffett to celebrate my niece's birthday. We're a large group so…read moreit took a few minutes to push the tables together. Once seated, the lady took our drink orders and we headed to the buffet. Our group picked their favorites. The kids went back a few times. They have your general public favorites as far as buffets go. The egg drop soup was the starter! There's a salad bar area. The dessert area as well. Oh! There's a small sushi bar area, too. They also offer a hibachi area as well. At the evening we were there, there weren't as many meat choices. I had them do like a vegetarian style. The noodles were piping hot! The kids liked it because they could create their own flavors with the different sauces. Towards the end, our waitress made a special birthday dessert plate and put a candle in it. The nearby monitor played a birthday song!! My niece was so happy and grateful. We didn't expect it and truly appreciate her thoughtfulness. Overall, a nice small town buffet. It's a large place, too. Spacious and clean. All the employees were friendly. It's a shared parking lot. Ample parking.

    The variety has expanded and the quality of the food is outstanding. Not to mention the hibachi…read morefresh grill and the variety of desserts. The waitstaff are very attentive on drink refills and clearing plates from the table. Great atmosphere and very friendly service. I recommend everyone try this place.

    This place is always busy, so we tried it. First off, this place has a general decor and…read moreatmosphere, which is really neat. I mean really neat. The owner is exceptionally nice and fun to talk to. Now, the Cajun food....not gonna be your top notch traditional Cajun food. Gumbo needs more seasoning and better shrimp. But hey, we're in Joplin Mo...(not) in the heart of Louisiana. Overall, I really enjoyed the place. And it's such a comfortable place to eat or have a cocktail!

    The atmosphere is great, and we genuinely loved the owner and staff everyone was incredibly kind…read moreand welcoming during our visit. The hot menu items we tried were good overall. Unfortunately, the seafood boils were very disappointing and fell far below expectations. The ingredients appeared low quality and were served lukewarm, which really impacted the experience. The crab legs were extremely difficult to crack, likely due to improper cooking and holding, making them nearly inedible. There was also a noticeable lack of seasoning across the boil no seasoning on the crab, crawfish, potatoes, or corn, and even the butter was unseasoned. I would also do away with oysters as they need to be extremely fresh to be served, and if we can't go above and beyond with fresh imports I don't see the point. On a positive note, the gator bites were excellent and absolutely deserve a permanent spot on the menu they were flavorful and clearly prepared with care. The Louisiana pan-fried special was also quite good. Unfortunately, the seafood boil alone was enough to keep us from returning unless significant improvements are made, this really shows the quality of the seafood and the integrity on this item isn't there with quality.
