Country Buffet

Closed. Food was never great, but at least in the past it was a decent value for your money. Then they made some changes (for the worse) and it got pricier, so I stopped going there.
From 9News 2÷4÷16:
«Three of 9 Country Buffet locations in Colorado abruptly closed their doors on Thursday.
The locations affected include the Aurora location (1026 South Sable Boulevard), the Lone Tree location (7475 Park Meadows Drive) and the Fort Collins location (118 West Troutman Parkway). All of the other locations remain open.»

Just a few days after my post the place was shut down without notice! I hope the hard working waitresses will still have jobs somewhere. We always had Connie and she was wonderful! It is not their fault the food was so bad.

Horrible! Took my daughter there on a Wednesday night (1÷6÷16) because she chose it. The food was just bad. Meat dried out, stuff seemed like it sat out too long, etc. Selection was poor and they didn’t bother to even change the labels of the dishes from lunch or the previous day.
As for service, the place was mostly empty and the employees were walking around having a great time as if this was a place to hang out rather than a public restaurant where they worked. An adult child of one of the employees was walking around, helping himself to the buffet, and talking smack with some of the employees who had nothing better to do. I’d have preferred my 8 year old not have heard some of the things that were said. A few employees helped themselves to some food and sat down at the table next to us and started chatting and having a great old time. It seemed to me like they were still on the clock. I have no clue who the manager was or I’d have mentioned something, but this behavior was so rampant I had to think he/​she knew about it and didn’t care.
Never coming back. Ever.

With $ 4.99 coupon, it is okay to come here for breakfast. Not bad! Service was nice and friendly. Fried chicken was so dry and it almost scratched my throat LOL. It will be a while before I come back here. I Hope this restaurant does well though.

This place has not improved. If I could find ANY place for a monthly breakfast meeting other than this dump, I’d go there.

I think this is the cleanest and most politely staffed Old Country/​Homestyle Buffets I’ve ever been to. Allen helped us and was superbly quick and friendly.
For lunch we feasted on BBQ pulled pork and pan fried potatoes, mini tender pot roasts, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, nachos, and a slew of other little bites. Everything was hot and fresh except the waffle fries and I saw them put new ones out while we were there.
Desserts, especially the French silk pie and blueberry cheesecake shooter, were yummy and the salad bar looked pretty good. We will come back for dinner when they open 3 additional cook stations.

I really try to enjoy what is supposed to be a buffet but i have a hard time gutting the food.
I honestly think that the food is not prepared or stored correctly.
I have never had a good meal from this location and don’t expect to. Maybe i shouldn’t expect more than what it is «a meal». I’ve never been to prison but i can only imagine that the food is probably the some in comparison.
Service is always nice but it never makes up for the product they deliver.
I will never eat at this location again nor will i recommend to any of my friends.

Anthony Weedo is a liar. The food was way over cooked. It cost $ 30 for me and my daughter to eat old dry food. I would not recommend it to anyone! If you’re in the neighborhood keep driving. I will say that the staff was very friendly though.

I went there for lunch. The food was pretty good until I saw some people coughing right on the food!!! After that I just could not eat anymore

Service is excellent! Food is okay but not bad. Definitely not as good as Golden Coral but not bad. Had a coupon so for the money good.

My kids absolutely love this place. Every time I give them the chance to pick a place to eat, this is their choice so we have been here several times. One thing that is absolutely consistent is the service. There are a couple of waitresses that we always see and they are simply a delight. I would recommend including drinks in your order because there are a lot of options including milk, coffee, juice, slushees, and coke freestyle. There is something for everyone to eat and enjoy here. My son likes to make taco salads and my daughter always wants chips and dip along with salad bar items, I encourage them to try something new but I know even if they don’t, they will not leave hungry. The manager is ALWAYS present on the floor and you can tell he really takes pride in his job and is eager to please. Such a nice thing to see!

I’m not generally a big fan of buffet restaurants, but the Country Buffet at STAPLETON changed my mind. Unfortunately the Stapleton location is the only Country Buffet I will bother with. Havana, Park Meadows, Englewood Parkway are all substandard, dirty and feature lousy service.
The food at Park Meadows needs to be stirred or replenished. It seems as if nobody who works here bothers to look at the pans and see that the offerings look old. The ice cream area was a mess.
What a disappointment.

No longer serving steaks even though commercials show steak. Bad customer service at the carving station, she was very rude and does not want to help you.

2.5 stars would be appropriate. Virtually every item served is average. Nothing special but not bad. We go here when we want variety and family members have trouble deciding on what they want. Also, for one price, it’s nice to be able to indulge in desert. We visit about four or five times a year and usually leave saying «why did we go here»? Yet, we always return.

Overall this is your standard buffet. The service that we received was great! Be on the look out for coupons as I would not pay the normal $ 11.99 for dinner as it is not that good. They do not know how to make cocktail sauce but thats ok. Also I was expecting fried fish like usual and so was my dad but they did not have it. They have a nice soul food selection but all of the food had been sitting out for a while as I could tell. The servers were great like I said before so I would suggest coming here if you want your standard buffet.

Steak was taken off the buffet. They still served steak though even though it was cut into small pieces (medium well, my wife and I believe not all customers like it) and served with mashed potato on a small pan. I could see that most of the customers were disappointed because we were not able to order steak anymore.
Some of the foods are dried. It was sitting there for too long. Must be a not favorite meals.

It is what it is, a buffet. Not gourmet, but that wasnt expected either. I really just came for a salad, but dabbled in a few other offerings as well. Nothing was spectacular, nothing was awful. 8 bucks for lunch and I can eat whatever I want is an ok deal though.
I was impressed with the service though. Everyone was friendly, I was asked if I wanted a tour so I knew where everything was. My server was good and checked on me frequently and also gave me a coupon to return. I was very happy with the service.

I was happy to be here and love the revamping of this place since it was on the show Undercover Boss. However the people who were working were not very nice to a group that came in after us. Granted, they were a larger group of about 50 but they deserved the same treatment as us. That is why I am knocking them to three stars because it ruined my experience. I love their food and think it’s delicious. I hope they keep being creative and adding new dishes all the time. I will return but I hope the managers focus on handling a rush more with pride and service.

We went here after getting a «We’ll Make it Right Card» at the a country Buffet up north. They put the food in dishes and a tile surface instead of steam trays, we’re finding that the food gets cold and we just weren’t happy with the taste of our food.
We used the card at this location, this is a lot better, the food was always fresh, and the management seems to do a good job of running the place, keeping it clean, and keeping things moving smoothly.
But, honestly I see these «Country Buffet» commercials with the «new CEO» and I thought things were getting better, not worse. That’s how I feel, that many of the dishes are just so-​so and really not as good at they use to be. The only things I’ve really enjoyed, and I’m not picky at all, was the steak at dinner, fried chicken, meatloaf and the orange chicken. Everything else is either flavorless, too creamy, too mushy, dried out or cold. I guess the A/​C blowing on you doesn’t help in that area either. The variety is, Meh, nothing special.
Golden Corral is better.

Got a coupon thru email that was good for M– Th and made out to this location. Buy one and pay only $ 2 for 2^nd person was the catch. We are not much of a buffet person since we always end up eating more than we should. Little did we know that Thursday was kids night and the whole place around 6 pm was crawling with kids of all ages.
From the time we paid for the meal till the time we left, we were very pleased. our cashier was friendly, our wait person was even friendlier and the guy at the grill was very courteous. During the idle time I can see the cashier manning the cotton candy machine, our wait person grabbing balloons for kids. Our table hardly had old dishes. It was taken away very quickly.
Food wise, it had the usual offerings and plenty of steak and roast beef and even noodle grill station. Very nice dessert station too. Fresh baked cookies with milk or cake with ice cream topping is awesome. Even though don’t like the idea of paying extra for soft drinks, price do include iced teas, coffee, cappuccinos and milk.
As expected, ate more than usual but glad to see the staff working hard trying to accommodate the needs of customers. For a buffet restaurant, i will give 4 stars overall.
*** don’t forget show your appreciation in $ to the wait person for their hard work.
