Brando’s Steakhouse and Buffet

Food and service is exactly what you expect to receive in the South!

Plenty options to choose from and salad bar was clean and well kept 👌🏿

Will definitely be back with the family

Crowded, never received my drink, oversalted food, waitress was not attentive, flies guarding the salad and desserts...total waste of money 😑
Good friends and association made up the difference.

Ok.. this is a weird one for me

Let’s start with the cons cause that is all most people care about.

The waitress I had was without a doubt the worst I’ve ever had, she had the personality of a cinder block on an abandoned prison.

On walking in the little girl behind the main counter said just sit anywhere you like so we opted for the larger room in the back as it had less people.

Waitress came by after 10 minutes and asked what we wanted to drink. 5 minutes later she comes back hands us one napkin each and a fork and walks off. We had to go find out how much the buffet was from the girl upfront, than asked if they had a menu which she gave us. We than proceeded to go with the buffet cause crab legs obviously.

Not one time throughout my entire meal did my waitress ever give us a refill on our drinks, check in with us or anything besides handing us an our first drink and a fork, only time she talked to us afterwards was to tell us how to fill out the check receipt…..

We had to go find our own condiments, I got the 3 girls in the kitchen to get us anything else we could have had done from the waitress. Such has butter and napkins for crab legs, a bucket to put the empty shells into, our excessive amount of plates on our table from trying what all the buffet had to offer.

The food 10/10 everything was great that we tried and tasted fresh not frozen which I appreciated the little girl at the hostess counter was as nice as could be. They seemed to have a very well stocked bar and bourbon selection. Wouldn’t know pricing or cocktails offered as stated waitress didn’t seem to interested in anyone in the room.

Atmosphere I’m gonna give a 3/5 only because as my wife pointed out it was strangely quiet for what was so busy of a restaurant but at the same time I was not mad at that cause I could quietly talk to my wife which was peaceful albeit some background music would of been nice to break up the sounds of people chewing and forks on plates squealing.

End of our meal I paid out and made sure to tip the cooks in the back as they did more for me than the waitress could have.

If I lived closer I’d go back routinely because of their kindness and willingness to help in the kitchen over the waitress I dealt with and due to the food being very good.

Second visit was 4/25/26 and still no crab crackers. Also price went from $29.99 to $49.99 for same selection on buffet.

We went to the seafood buffet and it was very good. Every thing was seasoned well and the crab legs were delicious.

The only negative I have is they didn't have any crab leg crackers. The waitress said people keep stealing them.

The food was worth the drive and was cheaper than Berry's

Food is always fresh! They're constantly refreshing buffet! I only gave a 3 on food because of seafood night. The shrimp and crablegs tend to be overcooked (crablegs very very small).

This place was delicious! The service was excellent. I traveled from Illinois to visit family and really wish we had a restaurant like this at home.

Green tomatoes were amazing, the crab legs are boiled and too soft. You have to do a lot of work for the meat in these.

Forst time there and I really liked it. It was just a quick business lunch but it was perfect for it. Staff was nice, fodd was real good

I hit the buffet. Don't get me wrong it was good but I like to get the food to go through for the price there are other places for the same style food but cheaper to go.
Butt..... this place has more to choose from being a buffet.

The food is cooked in old grease I think. The oysters didn’t taste like oysters. I am most shocked at the final bill: 2-regular buffets =$59.98, 2 teas ~$6.00 SHOULD HAVE been $65.98 +tax =$4.62 and a $5 tip. Total was $81.60. We were charged $94.20 and I didn’t know until I checked the bank app. Overcharged $12.60.
This is after I had to eat with a lap full of sweet tea. The waitress, who was very upset with herself and apologizing profusely, accidentally spilled my whole iced tea in my lap (in February). I would have thought that I’d be the last person overcharged that night. MISERABLE “early Valentine’s dinner” and lost even more money than expected. Still want to cry about it. The waitress went out of her way for us, it’s the price jack up that has me most upset.

Don't go here! Did not listen so my order was all wrong and WAY too much money for 2 of the worst hamburgers I've ever seen - i ordered cheeseburgers but no cheese. Charged $15 each for preformed dry patties. Burned greasy onion rings.I expected better but I should have checked the order- won't be back.

Chef undercover strikes again!
Blackened reddish with mashed potatoes, grilled corn and sautéed peppers for myself. The crust of the fish..... no words on this amazing feat. Lightly oiled so the vegetables get a hint of evening and taste superb!. The fish sells it, even my partner (who refuses to eat fish) likes the taste!!

Marinated fried chicken with fries. The chicken is so moist and juicy, with a hint of sweetness to it. Sadly ran outof chips but the fries were cooked to just under crunchy so they were firm, but am easy item to take home and reheat without turning then to bricks.
Mind you, we lucked out work a strangely quiet night. Now to wait for the brownie a la mode dessert <3
