    The buffet isn’t huge but the food was quite good and surprisingly fresh. We were attended to quickly and our waitress was friendly and attentive without being pushy. Would recommend. It was about $15 for the buffet but I’m told it is about $10 for the salad bar only.

    Easter 04212019 Had to take another star away for price gauging Christians. As if the prices were not high enough. For Reserection Sunday they charged almost $20. The only thing I noticed extra was some pie, dressing, gravy and some dried out ham. Too high of a prices for my taste. The food is good quality but not thirteen dollars worth for lunch. If I pay more than $10 bucks for lunch it had better wow me. This particular visit was severely underwhelming. I usually leave regretting my visit for financial reasons I personally have a budget. They used to be packed at lunch time. Maybe if they lowered the price a little they still would be.

    Pretty much a bbq Buffett. Brisket was dry and cut wrong ... with the grain... chicken tenders good chicken fry steak good. Salad bar good. Carrots and green beans good. Cobblers not so good sticky to the spoon and not tasty. Ribs dry.... when meat sits out on a buffet table like that it tends to dry out. So that's why 3 stars.... half good half not so good. Service was great.

    Absolutely horrible. No food on the buffet and what was on there were hard, cold biscuits, pancakes that were more like a Frisbee they were so hard. I am in from out of town and wanted to take my family someplace that had options. No fresh fruit offered on the buffet even when I ask about that for my grandbaby. Do not recommend at all. No manager available and the owners weren't in yet so the very young cashier was nice but couldn't really do anything. What a joke!!!

    The food was awful. The mashed potatoes tasted like water. The corn tasted like it came from a can. The rolls were soggy. The waitress brought our check as soon as we sat down with our plates. Not a pleasant experience. I will not be returning.

    I had given this place a higher rating once before, but now that they have taken the Ribeye Steak off their menu, I am dropping the rating down, as I will probably not return to this place. I like the buffet, and it's pretty good, but I like steak even more. If that bring the steak back, I will become a customer again.

    The food was delicious but what made it 5 start was our serve Brooklyn. She took great care of us. It was very noteworthy because it's so rare these days to get good customer service anywhere. So thank you Brooklyn for making a meal even better!

    Great little place to grab a veer or some good food. The staff is always extremely friendly. It's a gem in little ol' Cleburne and the guy running the place is a fantastic person too. His wife is even more amazing, they make you feel really welcome.

  • 4/5 Brint A. 4 years ago on Google
    Manager is HOT. Runs a great place to eat too.

  • 5/5 Shawnda C. 1 year ago on Google
    I love everything about West End Grill. Food, Service, Atmosphere are all great. And one of my favorite restaurants in town. And I have loved West End Grill for years now. 🙂 Just really wished it was open past 3pm. So that I could order dinner past 3pm. That way i don't have to reheat my delicious food up. That's the only thing I would love to see happen.

  • 5/5 Jonathan H. 1 year ago on Google
    Over all was a great experience. The atmosphere was very calm and relaxing. Made for a very nice lunch break. The variety of food on the buffet was wide and all the food was piping hot and fresh. Good service as well. The staff was very friendly and my drink never got less than half full.Would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning.

    They have a nice buffet for lunch. I only got a salad and had a BBQ plate. I may try the buffet next time because it's well kept. The brisket was exceptional and the okra was so good. I didn't eat the roll but noted it was warm and fluffy. My server was super nice also.

    Great atmosphere!

  • 5/5 Martha A. 1 year ago on Google
    Oh my Lord in heaven this place makes me make yum yum noises while I eat! The meats are fantastic and macaroni and cheese is the only one I've ever liked on a buffet, it's just wonderful. I love this restaurant it's just not open long enough in case we want it for supper.

  • 5/5 Rosa W. 1 year ago on Google
    We took our office there for a Christmas bkfst. Our party was a 12 top and the staff did an excellent job. Our drinks were top off frequently, the mimosas and bloody Mary's were phenomenal and the all you can eat bkfst buffet was yummalicious. Great place to spend some time at!

  • 4/5 Chris C. 11 months ago on Google
    First stopped here as a whim and it's become an almost weekly staple. Buffet is great value for lunch. It sucks that they close at 3pm but it just makes it more rewarding when we are on that side of town. Also, if you get there around 10ish you can usually catch the tail end of the breakfast buffet as well.

  • 2/5 Kari Homan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is good but over-priced, there's no way 3 people should cost 70.00. Only open till 3, and owner has had an attitude every time we've gone. If you can avoid her, and get a good server you'll have a good time. Lots of turnover, likely due to owners.

  • 5/5 Junior T. 11 months ago on Google
    Nostalgic, I've been eating here for 20 years and it's always been a phenomenal eating experience! The only thing I recommend is more whipped cream and wafers in the banana pudding. All jokes aside best buffet and quality orders in cleburne. I will never stop coming here.

  • 5/5 Darla M. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is always fresh and hot. Great selection and great salad bar. Servers are friendly and quick to seat us, get our drinks and check on us. Love this place. Oh, and the price is very reasonable for a buffet.

  • 5/5 Cherie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Got to speak with one of the owners she is marvelous The waitresses are excellent the one that helped me she was personable her name was Ashley she was everything that a waitress should be she's more than waitress she's a hostess and needs to be working with some others to train them I thoroughly enjoyed my experience there and we'll be eating there more often it's one of the better watering holes as well as buffet it is great

  • 4/5 Yesi M. 4 months ago on Google
    Ladies here are great very attentive and always checking in on you. They have buffet and menus options... we opted for buffet. All I have to say is Yuuuuummmm The buffet is small but they have a nice variety. Everything from salad, to BBQ to fried chicken, enchiladas and chops!!! To quoted Joey from friends, The corn! Good. Gravy good . Chicken good. Brisket good...its worth the visit. My one recommendation would ve that if you're not hungry... you might want to consider menu vs buffet.

  • 4/5 Tameki G. 8 months ago on Google
    Oh my God I really love this experience! It had a nice homey feel. The proteins was really good except the chicken and the sides . They needed a little seasoning they weren't very flavorful kind of bland

  • 5/5 Abraham C. 6 months ago on Google
    The West End Grill is a charming establishment with a cozy ambiance and an impressive menu that caters to various tastes.The attentive staff and warm atmosphere make it an ideal spot for a memorable dining experience. Amber was very courteous very attentive.

  • 3/5 Corey C. 8 months ago on Google
    On Saturday and Sunday, due to short staffing, you can only eat from the buffet. No ordering from the menu. The food is good, as buffets go, but nothing to get excited about. If you go when you can order from the menu it's great.

  • 5/5 Stephen P. 8 months ago on Google
    First time there to celebrate my mother in laws 98th birthday! Home made chicken fried steak was awesome as was the fried catfish, bbq and all of the other homemade food! Great service and atmosphere as well. Definitely a place to go from now on in Cleburne!

    We heard a great time there. Even with it being Valentine's night there was plenty of staff and our server was very nice and attentive. We had the buffet, all the food was fresh and delicious.

    Amazing Bbq!!! Live in whitney and had been searching 4 a great Bbq place.... Found it!! Great Service, Amazing Brisket n Ribs, and (4 us Big eaters)Very big portions as well!

  • 1/5 Justin .. 4 years ago on Google
    If you like mashed potatoes from flakes, vegetables from cans, and rolls that were simply warmed before serving; if you have limited taste buds or are nearing nursing home status, this place is perfect for you. Seriously this place has a 4.3 rating and uses flake potatoes just add water? 🤨🤔

  • 5/5 Melodye Allen M. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent buffet food with several choices. Order off menu if your preference. Reasonable price. Excellent service from whole Staff.

  • 5/5 Greg W. 4 years ago on Google
    Pleasantly surprised by quality of food. I went around dinner time and lot was empty so I thought it was a microwaved food sitting out all day type restaurant on level with golden corral. It is much better than golden corral. Food was flavorful and they had a decent selection. The enchiladas were good, as was the chicken strips, macaroni and quesadillas. Recomend for anyone looking for a good buffet style

  • 5/5 Laura S. 4 years ago on Google
    Food is amazing the service is amazing and the price is pretty good for what you get like I said pretty good. The only downside to it is for some reason they smoked sausage is very and so is the ham chunks that supposed to go on the.

  • 5/5 Mark H. 3 years ago on Google
    Great tacos

  • 5/5 WO-SA-GA 3 years ago on Google
    Place was awesome. The cinnamon rolls are homemade and almost suspiciously good ( in a good way(: ) The portions of food are really good. Very friendly staff. Bathrooms are very clean and I'm not sure why we haven't eaten here sooner. Perfect 5 star for me.

  • 1/5 Adam R. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is nothing but a huge lie. Contrary to the menu they show online, they don’t offer a single steak. How can you call yourself a grill and not offer a steak? Their fraud has cost me time and money. Staff was nice, but didn’t warn me about the fraud, making them just as guilty. Come on city of Cleburne, fraud is a crime. Shut them down already!

  • 5/5 Este G. 4 years ago on Google
    Great hospitality and service. Buffet has so many comfort foods it is hard to choose. Everything tasted fresh and the banana pudding put a big smile on my face. The waitress was so sweet to my kids and made them feel welcome.

  • 1/5 soridian 4 years ago on Google
    NO NO NO....The ONLY reason this place has ANY decent reviews is because Cleburneites have no idea what good food is. Im sorry but this is truth. bad tasting beefs....enchiladas that were hard and tough....just weird
