Great Karoo Marketplace Buffet

We got to the breakfast buffett and were seated in Christians section, where he created us immediately and took our drinks order. I want to thank Christian for being so kind to my mom and going above and beyond! The food was decent. Cobbler was delicious. But the service we received from him was nothing short of perfect. He was moving the whole time working and we never had an empty cup. The experience was great!

We stopped by in the morning and it was almost empty, which was nice. Since we were with kids, they seated us in a separate room, which was very thoughtful. The waiter who took care of us was also incredibly kind and attentive. There were plenty of tasty and healthy options for both the kids and for us as adults. A very pleasant experience overall!

the food is rlly not tasty but the decoration and service is fabulous

Service was great! Loved our waitress. The food was OK but not great. Worth the price tho. The chia seed and yogurt was delicious. As well as the omletts they make fresh.

My family and I had an amazing time in Kalahari but enjoying delicious breakfast buffet at a reasonable price topped with great service from excellent workers like Mrs Mary Ann, Nancy, Alex. The man making the omelet was warm, kind and makes the best omelet. Can’t wait to visit again.

RIP OFF!! Must READ!

So far the servers, waiters, host were decent.

The only complaint I have is that the price they have online vs. what they have at the actual restaurant was big price difference which not many know about. If you pay close attention and already have been there then you’d probably get it. Otherwise, just booking online would be a lot more expensive.
Or perhaps you can ask via phone if they have the option.

Here’s the break down:
Online booking only option they have

1 Adult: $25 (and change) not $26 as stated right outside the restaurant

1 Kid: $15.99

On the actual restaurant they have 3 option’s for kids which as you see on the photo attached:

Teenager (Ages 10 - 12): $18.99
Kids (Ages 4 - 11) $9.99
Kids (Ages 3 below) Free

Like what?! We have ages of 4, 6, 9 years old kids and charged 15.99 plus tax per kid. What a rip off!!!

Food and food selection was great tho!
They have some basic vegetables options thankfully.

Great burgers! The best waitress EVER! She got our orders right and she was very fast and very very nice! Thank you Da

Ann Marie was a great server for our family. The food was tasty and the Starbucks coffee hit the spot.

Really a 11 year old child counts as an adult ??? That’s ridiculous!!! Overpriced buffet! Plus gratuity was $20 for a party of 4 ! Prices are ridiculous!

Not open as states 10/18/24

The buffet was closed for renovations, and we had to go to the b. Lux restaurant. They were understaffed, and it took quite a while to get our food, but Annmarie our server was wonderful and a total pro in an impossible situation. We’re waiters so we knew what she was going through! But, once the food came, it was delicious. well, worth the weight and at a great price as well

Vegetarian options: Very few vegetarian options.

Boyfriend and I were staying at Kalahari for the convention amd didn't want to leave the hotel so we figured we could get some great food as we highly enjoyed the breakfast buffet at the Hyatt Regency in O'hare when we went for Anime Central and boy were we WRONG.

The only good thing was the eggs which were runny. The oatmeal was watery, options were very limited in what you could get no hash browns only tater tots. The bacon was extremely greasy and limp also did NOT taste good at all, the French toast sticks were cold and still partly frozen. The pancakes were rock hard, there was just simply nothing appealing for the price and the best part is we both got food poisoning practically immediately after eating. We had to run to the bathroom then go to Walmart for stomach medication. I would rather go out to eat at McDonald's than eat at the great Karoo ever again
