| - My daughter was demanding that I take her and her brother out to dinner one fine day last week. Well, she usually prefers Double Dragon Buffet, but I have eaten there so many times that I have lost count. So I said, "We're going to Hometown Buffet!" On our way there, my daughter asked me if I'd ever eaten at Hometown Buffet and I replied, "Yes, many times." I used to eat here with my family on Sundays back when it was Duff's and also when it became Hometown Buffet.
In high school, my best friend's dad got food poisoning here from Turkey ON THANKSGIVING, so I vowed never to go here again. Well, I broke my promise to myself.
On this trip, there were not many people in the place, including employees. There were like three people running the front and I heard dishes clanging in the back and someone had to be cooking. So there were maybe five people on hand. It cost $24 for my two kids and I.
The food selection was decent and included typical American fare - steak, potatoes, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes, chicken, pizza, and mac n cheese, to name a few. There were also several desserts. The presentation of the food was not impressive, but it was warm! The desserts were pretty tasty, actually. They had an ice cream dispenser too.
I had some steak, potatoes, corn, and green beans and it was definitely a solid okay. Nothing to write home about. But the buffet was so messy! There was no one cleaning it and the food did not get stirred or refreshed much. I can't say I recommend eating here, considering the other buffets nearby that offer superior taste, service, and food quality for the same price.
