Hartz Chicken Buffet

I went in this past weekend and my dad kept raving about how good this place was last time he had eaten there (10 years ago) so I was looking forward to it. I come inside only to find a practically dead restaurant that reeked of Fabuloso (the cleaning liquid) as soon as you come inside. The food on the buffet was seemingly old. Not one time did they replace any of the food as me and my family were there a good 30 – 45 minutes. The only thing that was brought out fresh was the chicken strips, but only after I requested them. The chicken strips were pretty much the only thing that tasted tolerable. Not eating here again!

BUYER BE WARE!!! The only reason I give this place1 star is because I can’t give it a 0. You can never get fresh chicken at this place. My wife and I went there for dinner and told the lady behind the counter if we were going to pay $ 23.00 for a buffet then we wanted fresh chicken. We didn’t want chicken that had been under the light for an hour or so. The lady, her name is Lorena, the fresh batch would be out in 15 minutes. 30 minutes went by and still no chicken. She then asking her again she said that cooking chicken takes a long time. After waiting for an hour we decided it was time to leave. Never got our fresh chicken. If they were giving the chicken away, then I wouldn’t be complaining but we paid for it. (In more ways than one.) I think we should get what we pay for. I will never set foot in this place again. I’m just passing this on so you won’t have to go through this.

Expensive for substandard food. It’s hot, but very ordinary. I would spend the money at a sit diwn restaurant instead.

Not very impressed. The interior could use a cleanup. Some of the walls are stained, nothing a fresh paint job can’t fix. Staff is friendly but aloof. This is the service industry, smile at least.
Food was mediocre nothing special I would not recommend having the spicy chicken, the fried fish, chicken tenders, mashed potatoes, or the baked chicken. The spicy chicken is overpoweringly peppery. The Fried fish is dry, ditto for the chicken tenders. The mashed potatoes are made with flakes, the texture is off. As for the baked chicken, it has a funny taste to it. Perhaps it was sitting on the line too long, which explains the dry meat.
The regular fried chicken was good. It was crispy, juicy and well prepared. The only side I enjoyed was the coleslaw.
For dessert I had the bread pudding, peach cobbler and vanilla pudding. The bread pudding was overly sweet, but had a nice texture. The peach cobbler was mushy, it was frozen, not fresh. The vanilla pudding was by far the worst item on their buffet. It was salty! Perhaps they did not mix in the correct amount of liquid for the pudding mix.
Overall, it wasn’t anything to write home about. At $ 11.00 (including tax and a drink), I found it to be overpriced for a very mediocre experience. Will I return? No.

Everything was ok. The food was hot and fresh. The restaurant could use a little updating, but basically cosmetic. The box mash potatoes could use some seasoning, but everything else was tasty.

Don’t go here if you are on a diet. Pretty good when you are in the mood for fried chicken. For $ 8 you cant really beat it. I have always liked this place for their rolls. The cornbread is pretty good too. I like the chicken strips best, and the fried fish is OK in a pinch. If you have a sweet tooth, they have a soft serve ice cream machine. I like to mix it with Strawberry Fanta for desert when I’m in a fatkid mood. Also, the wings aren’t too bad. Its no Buffalo Wild Wings, but for all you can eat wings for $ 8 you cannot complain.

My lat 2 visits, I received over cooked dry chicken. I will not return.

This place is good if you have some serious fried and unhealthy cravings! I always go to town on the fish, they use a cornmeal breading and it makes it super delicious. My husband loves the fried chicken tenders. If you feel like gaining a few pounds this is the place for you those rolls are so good. Very Casual.

Ok so we all know fried foods are not good for you but if you will splurge eat the buffet as you do have plenty of healthy choices and the food is served fresh and warm. The manager even asked us if there is anything we would like to request that we did not see on the buffet (like french fries as I had my kids with me). Much better value than other fried food places and very friendly staff.

Really terrible place. I should have been alerted by the rat traps in front of the restaurant.
The food is downright uneatable. Everything was tasteless, greasy, and lukewarm. So if you want to have a heart attack without any enjoyment in the process, then feel free to come here. Otherwise… you’ve been warned!
