    I LOVE this place!! Excellent selection of food and great taste!! One MAJOR problem for those with a shellfish allergy though... There are a handful of tongs for a wide variety of sushi, shellfish included. This makes cross contamination impossible to avoid. They also do not have labels on the sushi to help you avoid any deadly allergies. So if you come here and have a shellfish allergy, please be careful and dont die. Otherwise I'd give this place 5 stars right away!! Enjoy!!

    I enjoyed this buffet a lot. I felt like they had a great variety of foods. I was elated that they had a large 15’ counter filled with different sushi and everything you need to enjoy it! Because of the variety of foods and sushi I thought it was worth the price. I think we paid $18 per person for dinner.

    For $11 this beats every sushi bar I have ever been to. The food here is on par with five star restaurants. The staff run around like worker bees making sure all the customers are happy, served and the restaurant is clean at all times. I'm so appreciative of all the hard work that goes into preparing the meals and cleanliness. Keep up the fantastic work everyone, I will always come to eat here. Also fantastic new sushi chefs! These really are masterpieces when they come out!

    Almost everything is absolutely delicious. The variety can be almost overwhelming. The sushi is gorgeous and very appealing. The only problem is that a lot of the sushi is very spicy. I was tempted to remove a star due to this, but everything else is so absolutely perfect that I cannot under any circumstance give them less than five stars.

    Great and fresh food. I rarely eat craft at buffet but craft in here is so fresh and have lots of meat. Ling my server was great. She kept our table clean and do her best job to make us feel very comfortable. I appreciate her service.

    Place had nearly everything except Italian food. Something for everyone, even kids. Mongolian grill, sushi, Chinese, American, pizza, fresh fruit, and quite the assortment of deserts. Price was good. Service was good. Will definitely be going back when in town again!!

    Excellent food reasonably priced! They say over 300 choices and I believe it! Everything we tried was great! We will be back, recommended giving it a try for lunch or dinner.

    I am not a “Buffet Guy” but Buffet City was recommended to us by friends. I had only ever been to one buffet that I would go back to , up in Lakeland Fl. We decided to try it while we were in town, we’ve been trying to find the place our friends had told about. We’ll this is it! Stopped in on a Thursday at noon, got right in and seated. The place is huge with lots of seating and rows of a variety of food. Lots of Chinese but a person who doesn’t want Chinese could find plenty to eat. The place is huge and can be intimidating with all the food, but just take your time and walk around and see the selection of food. It’s a bit overwhelming but just dig in and eat as much of whatever you want. You will not walk away hungry. As I said earlier I am not one to frequent buffets, Buffet City is definitely an exception. Five out of five for sure. Wait staff is on top of everything and the place is as clean as it gets. Overall I would give this place a 10 out of 5. Try it, you’ll like it.

    This is probably the best Asian buffet that I have found so far in this area. It has a great selection of really good quality food that will satisfy most diners (unless you have strict dietary considerations). I love the hibachi where I can build my own stir fry out of a good selection of meats, vegetables, noodles, rice etc. There are quite a number of non-Asian foods so you can satisfy the whole family. A very steadily busy place that keeps the buffet turnover really high and fresh. Dishes are deep and well stocked and hot where necessary. Service is good. Tables are cleared quickly. Never rushed. There is huge selection of sushi rolls. The price is really good (especially at lunch) for the huge selection of food available. Even dinner is very competitive. There is lots of dining space with large side rooms as well. If you are looking for a great Asian buffet, this is the place.

    This is the best self serve buffet in the county. Although quality isnt particularly super high, it is consistently good, edible, diverse and very satisfying. Refills take a while, you have to find one of the very few waitress for chopsticks instead of having them at the tabes or grabbing your own. Habachi is the star here.

    We went for a late lunch and were surprised that so many dishes were for dinner only at a higher price. The food is average but a great selection. The service staff is not friendly though.

    Went on a Sunday about noon. Had about a 10 minute wait. They are very efficient with keeping floors, tables and food service areas vey clean. Gigantic selection of food. They even had oysters and the half shells and mud bugs. My wife, 98 year old father in law and myself really have a big difference in our food choices. There was plenty for all of us and especially my gluten free spouse. Parking lot was crowded probably because there is a chunky cheese next door. Oh, and they have fresh sushi. If I wanted to relax and really take my time I would probably go on a weekday. I really did like this restaurant and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

    Food is abundant, good (not exquisite), updated frequently enough that I’ve witnessed any shortage. Variety is definitely present from seafood, meat (beef, ham, chicken), lo neon, fried rice, to pizza, bread (buns, garlic), and desserts. Staff is very diligent in serving drinks and picking up your soiled dishes. Cleanup upon your departure is prompt and sanitized. Good food for a good price and currently all staff wear masks and half the patrons wear masks upon entering and departure.

    In Fort Meyer for a business trip. Tried the buffet city and loved it. Food was good ! Great variety of Chinese and American food. Seafood, sushi, fried rice, salt and pepper shrimp (delicious), salad bar, and dessert bar is available. The waitresses could be nicer, otherwise everything is great. I went on a Sunday dinner buffet and the place jammed packed. There was a 15 min waiting period. It is worth $16.99 and the wait !

    I go to this buffet most of the time, the food is GREAT! The service is OKAY and the price is ECONOMIC. It is very fancy inside it is the best good looking buffet I've been to it is pretty clean.The place is full most of the time but I am givng it a 4 instead of 5 because the waitress are always asking for tips if you tend 5 or 10 dollars they ask for more even though your just there to eat and pay for your food not to be giving tips. I just think that is not right they should feel ashamed, they work to get paid and If someone gives tip with their kind heart is because you actually do deserve it and don't underestimate the amount you get because they give what they can and instead you should be thankful for what you get.

    The place is big and spacious a bit full of people specially on weekends ,it has a great selection of food, many things to choose from, they have different types of sushi for those who like it, I like sushi but the ones in this place specifically I did not like. It's cheap to go with a family group, it's not bad because you can eat whatever you want at a fair price, I give it 4 stars because the waitresses don't clean the tables with disinfectant liquids, they use the same cloth for all the tables and with the same she cleaned The chairs where people put their butt and then they pass it on the table again, that seemed disgusting to me and more so in those types of places that so many people come and go constantly.

    One of the best variety buffets I've been to. Oysters were iffy ,but were there. Tried plenty and all was good. No wonder there was a good crowd midweek. Mussels were lrom nowarge with a touch of hot sauce, wings good There all in all I have to say Go there. Mabe 2 bucks more MABE than the other buffets,but we'll worth it. Gonna be our new stop from now on

  • 5/5 lisa s. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food. Nothing fancy but a huge variety and fresh and hot. Staff was good, kept trays full.

  • 1/5 Aliyah H. 2 years ago on Google
    Went for lunch with my mom; I’m from out of town and she suggested this place because it’s supposed to be “one of the cleaner and better buffets” and I was which quickly proven wrong. Lunch buffets are $11.99 a person and soft drinks are like $2. The sprite was absolutely HORRIBLE. Had a bad, stinky aftertaste and there was no syrup in it. Lastly, there was a hair in my food and I don’t even want to know what body part it came from. It would have been a $25.41 lunch (assuming 0.06% tax was added), but I ended up paying $20 and a $2 tip. Still way too much to have not even ate anything due to failure to abide by standard food safety.

  • 4/5 Yve S. 2 years ago on Google
    A huge variety of food and desserts. The sushi tasted fresh. The food was good but I wouldn't say great. The price for $14.99 is reasonable for the various seafood items in the buffet. It had a Disney World feel to it in the amount of people there was on a Sunday around 5pm and the amount of food made it surreal. I've never seen so many people in a restaurant.

  • 4/5 Saman S. 2 years ago on Google
    Over crowded on weekends. Food variety is good and quality is great. Need more attention to hygien especially with covid

  • 4/5 Michael G. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is enormous. I can't believe the amount of food they have and it's all kept really hot. Quite frankly pretty good considering. Wasn't a fan of our server..

  • 5/5 Roberto R. 1 year ago on Google
    Best hibachi in town! Sushi not so much. I feel that the sushi has too much on each roll. Not enough authentic flavor. Buffet section of hot foods are delish.

  • 5/5 Kayla B. 1 year ago on Google
    Came in about an hour and a half before closing so the food wasn’t so fresh but it was still good. The waitress (I didn’t get her name) was very funny and showed her actual personality, made the experience even better. There was so much variety in the food and my only complaint is that I couldn’t eat anymore! I loved the decor too.

  • 4/5 E P. 1 year ago on Google
    Let me get straight to the point... hot meals 4.7 🌟, dessert 0.0 🌟 I'm not big on dining at buffet restaurants, but the family wanted me to check this place out. I will say, this place was busy! We waited about 15 min to be seated. Eva was our server and was friendly and attentive. To me, the highlight is the Hibachi station. Pick your own ingredients, choose what sauces for seasoning, and watch them cook your meal - you pick the portions, and they'll cook it. The hot foods were great and they offer plenty variety for the whole family. They do have a lot of fried foods though, which I couldn't really take advantage of since I don't eat much fried food. I did try a few fried items here and there to rate the taste - they do have flavor but not something I would sit down and enjoy. I was looking forward to the blue crabs, which people were waiting on because they were flying off the buffet line. However, they were fried, so I had to pass on it. Later I jumped to the dessert station which I saw something that looked like flan but as I got closer, it was Egg Tart. I will say, if you're a fan of Egg Tart, you'd probably enjoy it - for me, it was a hard pass. Other dessert options were dry, tasted old and just didn't finish the night well. I had to compensate with some fruits, like oranges, honeydew and pineapple. They weren't as sweet (ripe) as I was hoping for. They do have ice cream cups, candies, pudding and such for the kids (or big kids) but if you're not a sweets kind of person, then this won't phase you. I will advise you to be careful how you mix your food consumption. Later that night, I regretted trying out some of the fried stuff and my wife was regretting some of her mixed selections as well. Overall, for $17.49 per adult and alittle less for kids, it's a bargain, but just not a place I would frequent.

  • 3/5 Andre M. 1 year ago on Google
    It's just a buffet. Plenty of options, extensive selection. Food is just okay, but they make sure it's always fresh. Service was great, the waitresses actually had conversations with you. All the desserts were premade/prepackaged things but tasted a bit old. Would go back again!

  • 5/5 Yuksel B. 7 months ago on Google
    We came here for Sunday dinner and it was packed. Our wait time wasn’t bad though 15 minutes. We really loved the food it was all fresh. It was def worth the 25 min drive. Reminds me of Jersey style buffet. Weekend dinner is $20 well worth spent

  • 5/5 David I. 6 months ago on Google
    Yes I am rating this five. It's BUFFET IN FT. MYERS and the best buffet the area has to offer. It's NOT Vegas style. I went on Wednesday between Lunch and dinner at 3:30pm. Everything was freshly filled. Many choices to chose from. The SUSHI is buffet sushi and it's what you would expect from a place like this. It seemed much cleaner from my last visit which may have been a year ago. Atmosphere you ask? Mega tables, seats, and hot tables. If you are looking for a belly buster of Buffet quality food. You won't be let down.

  • 5/5 Michael B. 3 years ago on Google
    First time vister here. This was a great experience. The selection was incredible. All normal chinese food and prime rib, leg of lamb, crab seafood, sushi as well as the hibachi grill. Masks worn by all staff and encouraged with customers. Gloves worn to get food. Masks and gloves provide for free. Will definitely return.

  • 4/5 Alan M. 3 years ago on Google
    What an excellent buffet to eat at. I, truly enjoyed their variety of different foods that they offer. Sushi, Seafood, Hibachi and even some America dishes as well. But, when you first walk in there's a beautiful fountain that's full of Carp and it's huge inside. Many different food bars to choose from, around 10 or more, very good customer service and extremely clean bathrooms and dining area. I'd definitely recommend this fantastic restaurant to family and friends alike.

  • 3/5 Jason S. 3 years ago on Google
    Huge selection of mostly tasteless food, with a few standouts like the BBQ ribs and sushi. The staff are courteous and keep things tidy.

  • 1/5 ITS W. 3 years ago on Google
    This was my second experience here and the costumer service was horrible. The habachi chef acted like he couldn’t speak when we greeted him, after we got our food we sat down to eat picking through our rice because all the meats tasted old and as if they were in freezers for weeks and when we told the manager she said we were sitting and eating for to long and I tried to explain to her respectfully that we were picking through cause nothing was wrong with the rice it was the seafood that wasn’t tasty she said “ if you don’t like the food you don’t have to come back” .. mind you it was our first plates. I do not recommend this place at all costumer service is very important and if you can’t take criticism you should not be running a restaurant.

  • 5/5 Brian C. 3 years ago on Google
    Definitely the best buffet I have ever had. Great quality, great food, awesome selection, and a magnificent staff. Me and my family will definitely be back. Thank you guys so much for an awesome experience. Keep up the great work.

    We went to Buffet City for Thanksgiving lunch. It was our first time there and we were amazed! It's absolutely beautiful inside visually; it was very clean and we have never been to a buffet where you have so many varieties of food from which to choose. Our server was very helpful and kind. They also had a fish "pond" and it was such a unique feature to be able to watch the fish! We would definitely give Buffet City a 10! You won't be disappointed!!
