Highlander House of Buffet & Steakhouse

This is for the buffet which is only 11am-2pm. You have the options of a salad bar, a variety of cakes/desserts, fried chicken, meat loaf, smoke chicken, mash potoes, mac and cheese, and just a few other sides when I went. To say this is a buffet is overselling it in my opinion, but you do sit and order a drink and get to go and get an unlimited amount of food, though. It's just limited as to the variety of proteins. The service on a very busy Sunday was fantastic. The salad bar had a great selection of topping and was fresh. The fried chicken was also hot, had a good crunch, was not dry, and had a wonderful flavor. Past that, I wish there was more. The buffet is during the day for a few hours, and in the evenings, they open another area within that is an actual sit and order (menus) restaurant, we were told. I am not sure I would come back for the buffet, just simply due to the lack of variety, but the fried chicken was a 10 out of 10 when we went. I would recommend to at least get the experience the buffet to see if your style and maybe in the evening try the steak house, which I am not sure is good, but based off other reviews, sounds it.

Won’t be stopping here again. I guess they don’t have menus so we were stuck eating the main entrees pictured. Not much to choose from. The fried chicken is decent, but the meatloaf was pretty bad. Pretty sure they added sugar to corn; to ensure sweetness, I assume. Yuk! Especially as it mixes with other food on the plate. Desserts were slim pickin’s. If “meh” were a rating, this place would be just under. In their defense, I think the place got stuck somewhere in the 70’s. If you like that kinda thing, this is your place.

I can't speak for all the food, but I had the salad, chicken fried steak, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, spinach and bread pudding. Just like home cooking. Boy was it good and filling. What more do you want?

I am incredibly happy that I visited this establishment. Everything is very clean and beautiful inside, the food is just top notch. Thanks to the chef who prepared all this, the service staff. They are just magicians. They came up to me constantly and asked if everything was okay. Such attention deserves respect. I want to wish prosperity to this restaurant.

Mmhhh...it's ok. Salad looked depressed, meat (ribs) were pressure cooked prior to bbq'ing them up .. meatloaf was better. Fried chicken was good. Buffet, but for the price it could be a lot better. I was there on a Sunday so it might be a bit higher.

The food was edible, but it wasn't that good. We paid almost $18/pc (not including the tip) for just my husband and I. He had a tea and I had a water, I didn't eat much at the buffet, I was surprised when it was time to pay! We won't be going back.
The place could use a face lift as well.

It's a great place to get a big lunch in comfortable surroundings, nice staff.
Not fancy atmosphere, a kind of step back in time, but just fine for It's purpose. I enjoyed it!
