This is a huge buffet with a variety of Asian and American dishes. Typical Chinese dishes such as Mongolian beef, Sesame chicken, etc. There is sushi, salad, usually chicken fingers, pizza, fries, etc. They offer a decent selection of fruits and sweets.Having visited four times, twice for lunch and twice for dinner, I feel I have had a reasonable amount of experience to give this rating.Food is hit or miss on being warm. Sometimes it is lukewarm, sometimes not warm at all. But the food is good, the variety is extensive.Service is usually decent and unobtrusive for drink refills.

Crawfish, mussels, clams, shrimp, and frog legs were all great and at a very budget friendly price. Best I've had since moving to Tuscaloosa.Vegetarian options: Rice, soup, mushrooms, and California rolls are vegetarian, good salad bar and dessert area with fruit, etc.
I was on my lunch today, ones I get in my vehicle to eat. After a few bites, oh my gosh there was a bug a BUG in my food cooked!!! That’s disgusting!! I will never eat there again!

The waitress was very rude. I ask her"May I have another glass of water?" She never said a word. She returned with the water and gently put the water down on the table. I said, "thank you" she never said a word. My husband & I went make another plate when we returned his silver ware was gone. He asked politely for more silver ware. She never said a word but, returned with a plastic fork instead of giving silver ware. He said thank you she never said a word. So this was a very uncomfortable situation. Well I began to feel a little sad because It was racial prejudice that occurred. Upon leaving my husband paid for our meal & left the waitress a tip. She didn't deserve a tip. An African American gentleman was there he was upset because he was mistreated as well. I've been at Buffet City many times the waitress was always well mannered & kind. The food was good. We always treat people the way we want to be treated. I am never rude to anyone. I am the most mild mannered person you will ever meet. I will be going back to Buffet City again & if any of the employees behave in an unkind manner I will complain. God is not pleased when others are unkind towards people. What goes around comes around. I don't believe in revenge God will handle it.

We wanted a Chinese buffet today and chose one close to where we were going to be shopping. It was myself, boyfriend, and special needs child who uses a wheelchair.Staff were friendly and seated us where we would have plenty of room to maneuver his chair.There were lots of options on the buffet including multiple proteins, seafood, sushi, fresh and canned fruits, a salad bar, and more.The hot and sour soup was excellent, as were the spicy crawfish, teriyaki chicken, fried shrimp, and more.My special needs child fell asleep and did not eat, even though we had fixed him a plate and attempted to feed him (he also uses a feeding tube at times). To our surprise at checkout, they waived his meal fee (he didn't get a drink as he isn't medically allowed).Staff were friendly, areas were clean. Where spillage or dropping of food items occurred, Staff quickly responded to clean the areas and wipe down floors to prevent bigger messes or falls. Kindness, courtesy, and cleanliness go along way in a good dining experience. And the food was varied so there was something for everyone. We all left satisfied with our experiences and would return next time we are in the area. Staff were very kind.Parking: Accessible spots availableKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly and different price scales depending on different age brackets for small kids vs big kidsWheelchair accessibility: Staff were very accommodating and mindful to place us in an area that allowed easy maneuvering of child's reclining wheelchair.
The fried chicken had so much hair on it. a little too much. banana pudding was right next to raw shrimp ? odd

I ordered general tso chicken and received sesame chicken. The sesame chicken tasted like just soy sauce. The fried rice was also hard. I wouldn't suggest getting food from this establishment, very disappointing.
