Hands down one of the best buffets I’ve ever been to! Tinucci’s in Minnesota completely exceeded my expectations. From the perfectly cooked fish and juicy chicken to a fresh variety of nine different salads and a dessert table that felt like a dream—everything was incredible. But the true star? The prime rib.

Why is it impossible to find a schedule of your prime rib buffets on your website? They should be posted for at least a month in advance. Run a banner so that it is the first thing you see when you go to the website. When a person calls and asks an employee for the date, they have no idea. GREAT prime rib buffet if you can ever find out when it is scheduled.
Had a great experience with Mark for my friend’s food tasting for their wedding. Mark was so nice and helpful! The food was absolutely delicious!!

Tinucci's is a family-owned restaurant with a great spread and a strong sense of tradition, reminiscent of the supper clubs of the past. The food is delicious, especially the chicken, which guests can't stop raving about. The buffet includes perfectly cooked fish, juicy chicken, and a fresh variety of salads. The dessert table is also impressive, offering a wide selection of sweet treats. The prime rib is a true highlight—tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, especially the coveted end slice.
The service is warm, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. The owner’s grandson was seen helping out and greeting guests with kindness, showing the restaurant’s strong family values and community spirit. Tinucci’s is more than just a restaurant; it’s a place built on family tradition, pride, and community.
The restaurant offers family take-out meals that are perfect for any occasion, as demonstrated when they catered a wedding with traditional dishes like champagne chicken and pot roast. Guests frequently praise the food, often saying it’s the best wedding meal they've ever had. The staff arrives prepared and organized, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
There are different levels of dining options, including a salad bar for those not interested in the more expensive meats, making it accessible for various budgets. The restaurant has accessible features, such as sufficient disabled parking and a clear walkway, although some stairs have a sturdy handrail for safety. The wooden doors at the entrance add an interesting and beautiful touch.
While the buffet could benefit from food labels, the gracious staff carves the meat and explains the options, helping guests find what they can eat. Dietary restrictions require asking about ingredients, as nothing is labeled. Overall, Tinucci's is a popular destination for satisfying meals with a side of nostalgia, family tradition, and community.
