Best Buffet - Jacksonville (IL)

1 /5 Tracy Morris: I only gave one star because it wont let you review without it. This place has really gotten awful. Dirty. Bathrooms smelled so bad I waited. Spent over $30. Didnt get greeted. Kid was on headphone phone call. Food was cold and nasty. Ate 5 bites and nothing else. No one came to the table. Plates stacked up on all tables. No drink refill. Time to pay, girl says "how many"?. I told her 2, she told me my total. I paid and said thank you, she stared at me and handed me the receipt. Not wasting my time or money there again.

1 /5 layne henderson: I’ve been coming to this restaurant since I was a kid and really enjoyed it back then, the food was good, prices were good and it was always a good experience.. unfortunately now I cannot say the same. I stop in maybe once every two months to see if anything improves or changes but it doesn’t. The food is borderline terrible.. I’ve gone at many different times of the day. Lunch can be a bit more fresh but there’s constantly super hard chicken, bland and nasty tasting food and some food sitting or a long time and never being rotated. The desserts are unfortunately the same as the hot food when it comes to these issues. What bothers me more though is now twice in a row (month or two apart) I have gone up for dessert and while I’m at the buffet, the waiter takes my plate, cup and silverware and wipes down the table, I then have to go back up the buffet to get a spoon or fork and deal without a drink. The first time it seemed like a simple mistake and after eating for a bit the waiter offered to get me another drink but I declined as I was done eating. Second time he didn’t say anything to me after I sat back down at a table with no silverware or drink. If they could improve the food to the quality of places like Feast Buffet in Springfield or Little Saigon or even China King then I would definitely be back frequently and I’m sure business would be alot better but currently the only thing of quality is the crab Rangoon. Other than that it would be nice if they waited just a bit to clear the table and make sure I was going to pay my bill. I would love to see this come back to being quality Chinese but with the past couple of years being so bad I’m not sure they can. Will continue to try it every couple months in hopes of improvements.

5 /5 Savannah: Best buffet Ive ever been to! Would definitely recommend going. I didnt know what to expect because some reviews were not the best. But it was amazing so good I cant believe how many choices there were. The price was so reasonable, we went for lunch and it was $13.50 per person. The food was hot and delicious. The egg rolls and spring rolls were crispy. They had everything from egg drop soup, tons of types of chicken, beef, and fish to amazing desserts. I tried almost everything. The staff was so nice and let us take our time.

1 /5 Brian Mccombs: Last time ill ever be here. Ive been here a few times but hasnt been in quite awhile. The food is subpar to say the least. Overdone and dry with not alot of flavor. The people are very nice who run the restaurant but the food on the buffet is lacking freshness and flavor.

1 /5 Rebekah Housman: Do NOT eat at this establishment in the transition from lunch to dinner. If you do, you will be told not to eat certain items as those are only for dinner guest and not lunch guest. You’re able to only eat the items put out before dinner. I’m sorry, I didn’t check my watch to make sure I got there at a certain time to try and scam you on a few items. I’ve got more important things to do in my life to worry about which foods my kids can eat off the bar without choosing the wrong thing. I can understand their rationale, but the hostess went about this the entire wrong way. They have lost our buisness based on her interactions.
