    Everything was delicious. The buffet has a great variety of pizza, pasta, salad and sides. Everything was clean and well lit. All items on buffet can be made to special order. Staff was friendly and helpful. Under $15 per person.

    Not bad. For only $10 bucks per adult, it was fulfilling. The buffet was constantly being refilled and switched up almost everytime. Requests also made for your table. Customer service was wonderful. Ppl came to clean up table soon as needed. Drinks refilled relatively quickly. Wish I could get this level of service at most restaurants. no complaints at all.

    This is the supreme Hungry Howie's location, you cannot convince me otherwise, when I went here I didn't have much of an expectation, it's a buffet after all, however I was shocked once I sat down and started eating, the same great quality pizza of Hungry Howie's but as a buffet, I didn't think it was possible lol, with the no door kitchen you can see the cooks make new pizzas for takeout and the buffet, the wooden/tile/brick architecture is rather appealing, the calm and quiet atmosphere, the cleanliness of everything, the polite and open staff, the great food, along with being kid friendly too, all for the price of a regular large three topping pizza, a buffet of the same type of pizzas (plus more), for the same price as a single pie... I found that amazing, but how is this place profitable?

    This is the BEST pizza Buffet I ever ate! The pizza had lots of Great toppings and was the best! The buffet had a lot more items than the regular buffet has. Soup, salads, desserts etc. I eat there twice a week! AND the cost is only $10. Another very important thing is the waitresses are constantly cleaning and filling up our drinks. You just can't get any better anywhere!

    I had a representative of Hungry Howie's Pizza (Ron Chapman) visit my place of business on 6/7/2022. He was offering a corporate plan that would give my company discounts on large purchases and somewhat of a tailored experience. This gentleman was professional and even a bit funny. Needless to say I was impressed with him as well as the plan. I even suggested that he visit with my brother than runs a local business close to me. My brother indeed signed up as well. I have always been a fan of Hungry Howie's Pizza but never for corporate functions. That has changed thanks to a very professional visit from Mr. Chapman

    Their all you can eat bar was surprisingly good. It looked small but was packed with plenty of options. I had a salad, pasta salads, veggies, pizza, pasta, and dessert and everything I had was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful- as were other customers and the building had some interesting features if you like to take pictures. It's sort of too bad I'm not near this restaurant and probably can't go more than a couple times a year at most.

    Only 2 stars tonight. BUT, this place is usually GREAT.......until this evening. It wasn't the food - it's been delicious the times we've visited over many years. It was the treatment from the girls at the counter. It was incredibly belittling. We visit Plant City on business and visit the different eateries while there. We've never been treated like we were this evening! So, a few stars missing from their crown after tonight. Moving on. :0)

    Awesome Restaurant and By Far One Of The Best Pizza Buffets In Plant City. The Staff Is Very Amazing and Excellent I Couldn’t Give Anymore Words Of How Welcoming Everyone Is At This Location and I’m a Proud Customer Of All The FL Howies Locations I Look Forward To Having More People Visit That’s How Great The Food Is Here. I absolutely love the incredible people that work here very awesome people they do a lot for the plant city community and I really do appreciate them from what they do around Plant city and the businesses that they have helped Ali and his father do an awesome job. Tyler, Luciano, Rachel, Karina , Mariah, Mariam, Karissa, Kourtney, Alejandra and the others that are here to keep the business in the good condition it’s in truly need to get a group photo for the front of the Buffett bar.

    this is my second time delivering with them the first time they told me i need a minimum order of $35. my total after i told them to add onto my order to make it the minimum the total after that was almost $50, now today my total was $40 and they called me and told me the minimum order was $40 it didn’t make any sense she said something about how they are short on delivery drivers so the minimum went up or something so i told her to add to my order again and the total after that was OVER $50. over $50 for a pizza, some wings, and a pepsi. this is completely unbelievable do NOT deliver food with them it’s not worth it!

    They try to scam you for an extra 10 dollars. The app showed this location as a valid location for delivery. We ordered the minimum order according to the app ( 25$ ) and paid 7 dollars for delivery. Total: 39.00 ?? Which was prepaid. Our house is 8 miles from the store. They refused to fill the order ( after we had already been charged ) they claimed their minimum order is 35$. This was not stated in the hungry howies app. We cancelled the order, and n is have to wait 3-4 business days to get our money. Patronize this 'business' at your own risk. No integrity.

    Review of Hungry Howie’s Plant City store: I recently had the pleasure of meeting with and having lunch with the owner of the Plant City Hungry Howie’s store. The owner, Ali, discussed the catering portion of his business with me, and this was great timing as I needed to find a caterer for my granddaughter’s bridal shower. He suggested items from his menu that he thought would be appropriate for a shower and I was able to sample those items first hand during our lunch. The quality of the food was just fabulous and the variety of food offerings was quite extensive. We agreed on a menu for the shower that we thought would please everyone. The shower was a huge success! Many of the 150 guests commented about how good the food was and asked who the caterer was, and I was happy to tell them that Hungry Howie’s was responsible for the meal. If anyone is looking for a caterer, please contact the Plant City Hungry Howie’s location and you will not be disappointed. If you are just looking for a good place to have lunch or dinner with your family, this location can fill that bill also. They have a unique pizza and salad bar buffet that offers something for everyone, and the prices are very reasonable. Mrs. Susan T., Valrico, FL

    Had the pleasure of meeting Ali for a large delivery order and he was amazing with working with us. Stopped by the store after the event and had the lunch buffet. Great price, fresh ingredients, unique items on the buffet and alway fresh new food coming out. Thank you Ali and we will work together again for more Plant City events!

    Been a customer here for years, I always go for the wings whenever we order. Stopped by after work really looking forward to my usual order. Wings in Medium Buffalo sauce. When I got home I realized the wings I received were dry and spicy, not trying to be a problem I was going to just eat them but after the first one, they were just too hot for me. I called and asked to bring them back to switch them out. The manager told me I have to ask for them to be tossed specifically (never done that in the last 2 years of eating here) but I said no problem. He said if I brought them back he would “just give me the same wings” obviously I declined, it would be pointless. I went on their website just to see if I was being crazy and the medium buffalo wing’s advertised don’t look like what I was served. He was almost rude and did not seem to care about customer service. Y’all lost a customer unfortunately not based on food but your lack of care. 👍

    Walking in seeing Ali or Charlie smiling greeting customers makes all the difference. Over the years this place just gets better and better. We always get our food hot and delicious. Our family favorites are the chicken wings tossed in Buffalo sauce and pizza with jalapeños and pepperoni.

  • 1/5 Jose M. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered a pizza, salad, wings,and soda. The pizza wasn't correct upon delivery. When I called the store, they gave me a credit to use the next time I ordered. When I called to use the credit for the pizza, there was no record of it, and that even if there was it was only valid for 3 weeks. The manager finally decided to honor the credit but when I was done ordering, the total was less than the $20 minimum for delivery and said that I would need to order something else in order for them to deliver it. I told her to cancel the order and enjoy the free pizza on me.

    I’m gave them 3 chances to get it right. My favorite flavored crust on my pizza is the butter garlic crust, however they never make the flavored crust right. It’s never buttery, and they put the bitter dry garlic seasoning on it. When I order butter on my pizza crust, l wasn’t it buttered. Not sure how they are buttering the crust, but it comes out dry and you can’t even taste the butter. Even tried butter cheese, and same thing. Crust was dry and couldn’t even taste butter. The other Hungry Howies locations butter crusts always come out buttery and delicious, but not here.

    We brought a group of 30+ cheerleaders for some dinner and team bonding. The girls had so much fun and The staff & food were AMAZING! Thank you for an awesome team night!!

    Great place for quick pizza. Good flavor but not a lot of choices on the bar. Staff is very friendly and prompt. Will be back.

  • 3/5 Tricia M. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff is friendly, food is good. Kids decided they wanted to go for dinner last night. My only issue, is they charge kids 9 and up for adult prices. My 9 year old does not eat like an adult. The adults really only wanted a salad, but had to pay full price. Not sure unless your family is starving it’s worth the costs.

    I had the Buffet on a Friday night, and I could say that everything was absolutely amazing from the salad to the soup to the pizza, pasta and dessert!

  • 5/5 Richard E. 1 year ago on Google
    Great pizza, salad and dessert. The only Hungry Howie's that my wife and I found that you can eat at the restaurant instead of to-go. All you can eat buffet at a good price ( location Alexander Street in Plant City, FL.) The staff is very friendly and professional, the brought out a pizza that was our favorite, that wasn't in the buffet. Try this out, you will be very happy you did.

    This past Sunday was the first time I had ever been to Hungry Howie's Buffet. Charlie is a wonderful man goes around and talks all the people and makes them feel so welcome. And the owner also will go around and say hello and ask everybody how everything was and he's amazing. This will not be the last time that I come over there thank you so much for having such a great Buffet. Anyone that has never been there you definitely need to try it cuz it is well worth the money y'all have a nice day

  • 5/5 Melina V. 1 year ago on Google
    Always order pizza here but decided to try the buffet since I haven’t had it in years. Delicious! My son loved the spaghetti and the potatoes with green beans. Pizza was so cheesy and fresh. Will be back soon for sure. They had quite a few girls working too so my drink was never empty and plates were cleared super fast. Great place and even better pizza!

  • 5/5 Megan A. 1 year ago on Google
    About a year ago I gave a not so nice rating based off an in person experience I encountered. HOWEVER, I have to admit this location has recently stepped their game up. Over the last year we been ordering from Valrico but recently their pizza has changed and not for the good. I told my husband I was ordering from Plant City tonight and he asked why 👀 well after our food arrived he understood. So much yummy cheese NEVER skimpy my kids love it. THANK YOU for bringing back good pizza…!!!!

    pretty good place, we eat here not to often but it is usually good when we go. the pasta is pretty good but it is covered in butter. the pizza is alright the salad is good but i have not had it only my family has had it. they have 2 deserts one is cinnamon rolls and they are delicious. the buffet is small but is still really good.

  • 5/5 Justin J. 2 years ago on Google
    It was my first time enjoying the buffet. Really clean and the food tasted great and was fresh. Definitely will return! I’ve ordered delivery before but after their representative Ron Chapman came to my store with a couple pizzas and salads for everyone I had to check it out. Ron dressed sharp and really sold me on returning to a buffet atmosphere. I’m glad I followed his recommendation.
