Update 2025: Avoid. The buffet offerings are now insultingly cold, dry, old, and unappetizing. Staff look a little too similar to people that just got out of the pen. Kind of scary. Which would be fine if they were professional or friendly. No. Cold eyed prison stare is the only facial expression. Never asked if we wanted anything on the buffet. And the immediate reason for my update: possible public health hazzard. Two visits in two months, two horrible cases of diarrhea immediately following the meal. Vile and miserable. And possibly dangerous. Cici's was never supposed to be anything but fast food, but this doesn't even meet that standard.

I had the buffet. Its not a horrific experience but its lackluster. The pizza is just ok. It was inoffensive, but was kind of lacking in flavor and had almost no sauce. The desserts are a bit of a mess. The chocolate frosted bread was ok. Fried bread is generally good, but the frosting had a very, very light flavor, almost like pudding. Not to mention that the bread was definitely not frosted well and none of them had the powdered sugar on top like the advertisements. The cinnamon rolls were the worst offender. They were spongy, soaked, cinnamon flavoured, and nondescriptly sweet. The frosting or glaze was completely absent visually, probably so thin or watery that it soaked into the spongy bread. I didn't see any sign of the usual brown sugar cinnamon filling between the rolls of the bread either. Also, the whole tray of rolls seemed baked together. If you picked up one it unraveled and took half the tray with it.
I didnt try the brownies. Didnt find anything wrong with the service or cleanliness. The game room doesnt have much. Mainly claw machines.
Overall 2/5. Its rough, but i could maybe see someone coming here once in a while. I'm afraid I won't be back though.

They need to do better. i came here 5 years ago, and it changed a lot. They need to clean and make the food better. It's not full for them, not make it better. Good service I can't complain at that.

The staff was very nice and accommodating. The food was not great though. The best thing I ate was the cheesy bread. They also didn't have any parmesan cheese. My daughter was sad they didn't have brownies anymore. I probably will not be returning to this location.

Considering the type of place it is, they stay pretty consientan, I go for the BBQ pizza, I would love it if the salad was a bit fresher and environment a bit cleaner.
Best food buffet at a great price. Fast friendly service. The pizzas, salad bar, chicken wings, soups, cinnamon rolls, and brownies are always served fresh. I will definitely frequent this place more often when passing through and order my personal favorite, a spinach pizza, as always.

Brought my 11 yr old so he could try Cici for the 1st time! I had told him it was great when I was a kid. About 20 people in the place and literally 1 pizza on the buffet line. I was forced to get the mac/cheese pizza. Was so dried out couldn't chew it 44 yrs old and worst CiCi ever!! LOL

This place was flithy and the game room is not working which really was the icing on the cake. My daughter was so disappointed. This was made worth about 2.99 like it use to be.

Staff was friendly and ready to make a fresh pizza. Buffet was full of old dried out food. No very clean indoors for it not even be busy.
The lunch selection is lacking, but food is ok.
