The food and customer service tonight was excellent! The manager and one server in particular made the decision to come tonight feel that much better. It was a little more than I was expecting but for a party of five adults and one child the service and food made it well worth what we paid.

I love the new look(and food) Hometown Buffet has to offer! I came in after they were done remodeling and thought You Go HT! Show everyone your pretty side! Let’s talk food and how much more of it there is. I couldn’t decide on what to try first. The salad bar looks fresh(even though I didn’t get anything from there, it’s salad). The sides were appetizing and the meat section looked/smelled delicious. I had their BBQ ribs and some ham. The chicken pot pie was amazing! The serving is big enough to share and feed two. I did no such thing, I consumed it all by myself. They have a LARGE dessert selection! I have to admit, that’s my favorite part of Hometown, their dessert. You can choose from cakes to pies to ice cream to cookies and pudding! What more could you want?! I ate four sweet mini plates of desserts. The staff is nice and show initiative when picking up the finished dishes from our tables. Thank You! Thank you Hometown Buffet. Can’t wait for my next food binge.

This is one of those places I hit up when missed two to three meals which thankfully doesn’t happen much, but it did on this occasion. My last visit here was probably almost a year ago when they were heavily advertising their new and improved menu and I must say I was impressed. I have to say on this particular trip I wasn’t as impressed as before. Upon entering learned that Monday’s is military Monday’s and you get a decent discount as opposed to the regular everyday military discount so that was a nice surprise. The food on the other hand left me a little disappointed. Although their different dishes were hot and tasty, I was disappointed with the lack of protein selection. Granted it was lunch time but I was expecting a little more than fish sticks, chicken strips and taco meat. The fish sticks were tasty for fish sticks. The chicken strips were a little heavy on the breaking and the taco meat was a little fatty, but that was it. Yes they also had a beef pot roast thing, but it wasn’t my cup of tea. I kept looking for the sliced ham, turkey and maybe some un-breaded chicken breasts. Overall lunch was good, but not great. I would like to give dinner another chance sometime soon but they can keep their sad lunch. The employees were all very nice which was a plus, but the star of the show, the food, left me a little disappointed.

The«new and improved Hometown Buffet» is still the same ol cafeteria food, just presented different. More along the lines of The Golden Corral. Now, you go to different stations depending on what you are looking for. Bread, fresh market(salads & soup), family favorites, comfort foods, Italian buffet(pizza & spaghetti), creamery(ice cream), desserts. After 4:00pm they add ranchers Cauvery. Today the had prime rib and honey glazed ham. Every dish I tasted was overly seasoned with salt and pepper. I often had to wait for them to bring food out because the dishes were empty, oh speaking of dishes… they ran out of plates three times in the 45 min I was here. I had to ask for silverware because there wasn’t any clean when I first arrived. They did add an area called The Boardwalk where kids can go play arcade games.(I saw only three games but there might have been more). It was very very crowded and difficult to navigate from table to food because of the way the tables were set up. They do honor active duty military on Monday nights with their Military Monday program, kids eat for 1.99, and you can get a fifty cent discount on your meal if you are a senior citizen. Parking is problematic and you will probably have to park in back or on the street.

Delicious! Most everything was fresh, and everything was delicious. Restrooms were clean, tables were clean, along with all the necessary utensils and extras. Best of all, was Taylor, our sweet hostess that kept checking on us and making us feel special. Thanks Taylor! The overall experience was as pleasant as a buffet can be, and I noticed a great attention to the many, many options available to us. Thanks! UPDATE: Last few times we have been here, the dishes AND silverware have been very dirty. Disgusting.

The floor by the drink dispensers and ice cream was wet. They did clean it up. Several of the buffet items were low or empty. Kids were running around. This restaurant is not a relaxing place to eat and the quality is only fair.

Very clean and friendly environment, gives good options of food and I never have to wait too long for them to refill the food. My seven-year-old daughter had her birthday party there just recently,

I can say my cheat meal was filled with a whole lot of carbs. The food is okay. The steak tip dish of the night is made well. I am not use to buffets and this was a good buffet experience. The food is exactly what you are paying for. Large selection but mainly unhealthy globs of food. The staff was friendly as can be. Overall it’s an okay place. I’m sure I will be back for another cheat meal with tons of options for a good price.

My expectations we very low coming into this place and even then I was disappointed. It wasn’t busy but still there were empty trays needing to be replenished and the trays that did have food needed serving utensils. Most of the food was bland. I never seem to learn my lesson. At least the ice cream was good.

Ok now I have a thing that I do every time I travel to a new location for work. First thing I do is check out the local Hometown buffet. Well this one was no better than the last one. Actually it was worse. Don’t know why anyone would give one of these more than 3 stars. Don’t really deserve even 3. The only thing any good here was the fried chicken and actually it was prepared just like all the other hometown buffets I’ve ever been to. It’s ok when your new to an area but next time Ill go to Micky D’s.
