Ole Frijole Restaurant Buffet

excellent place to go eat with the family??

The only thing that was tasty is their fried chicken. Maybe we came on a wrong day but the rice was dry, the pasta salad was dry, I’m not sure how the ground beef is made but that is dry as well. There is no air conditioning. Not sure if they need a new menu or new cooks.

It's been almost 15 years since I've been here and decided to see the secret behind it's success. It did not disappoint food was hot and fresh and the taste was delicious! Literally felt like I was at a family members house enjoying a a potluck. Atmosphere needs a little life maybe it's the aged interior but that's not as important as the food and service. THE PRICE IS GREAT! Don't pay $18 for a Burger

Food was delicious and fresh like always. Brings back childhood memories. Been going here since I was 6 years old. The staff are very kind and friendly. They're very clean. Everyone says the food isn't good nor authentic Mexican food. Food is food. Everyone is going to give their opinion. All I know it's delicious and the food is always fresh. I'll continue going to enjoy the delicious food.

Not worth the price at all. 20 foot salad bar and 4 feet of actual food. Fried chicken (tasted like savemart), fried fish and ground beef (bland). Don't get started on the "enchiladas" flat, bland and pretty tasteless tasted like school lunch in the 90s. IVE HAD BETTER MEXICAN FOOD IN OHIO!!! The only decent thing there was the fish. They no longer have tamales or fried shrimp as advertised. If I had walked through before I would have rather stopped at McDonald's, 36$ for 2 people 3pm friday.

DONT DO IT! I’ve never been here, this was my first time, will also be my last time. I thought it was new but its not. The atmosphere will take you back to 2002, not terrible. Customer service is quick and friendly. THEIR FOOD???? Horrible. Canned everything, frozen everything, the only thing I can taste that I got that is maybe prepped there was the cabbage salad. Very little options, the chicken was good, the rice pudding was good, everything else was canned or frozen. I made the best of my $21 that I could. BRING BACK HOMETOWN BUFFET. Don’t do it. Don’t come here to Ole Frijole. You’ll be disappointed.
