| - My family and I went to the Cathedral Buffet yesterday for Easter dinner. We were expecting to have to wait in line for an hour but we actually only waited about 10 minutes. I was so glad we didn't have to wait in line forever! And the line was inside the building the entire time, no waiting out in the sun! There were actually two lines going so it moves quickly. I do suggest though that if you have a difficult time walking, to bring a wheelchair. It's a long walk from your car to the dining table.
When we walked up, I noticed a couple big signs that said that your entire party must be present before you can get in line. I think this is wonderful! The last thing you need when hundreds of people are trying to get in is trying to accommodate people waiting on other people to show up. I also like that the parking lot is huge and there are plenty of spaces. I had to park pretty far away from the building but I was still in the lot.
When you walk in, you suddenly realize just how large the building is. It's massive! We got in line and along the path, there were several people asking how many people were in our party and wanting to know if our party was all there or if we were waiting on more people.
We eventually made our way to the register. The price for an adult was $12. I forget how much it is for kids but I think it's reduced.
Then we were seated and told to help ourselves. There is a large salad bar in the middle of the room. There are also several drink and silverware stations. They had a bunch of different soda options and coffee. There may have been tea as well but I didn't look for it specifically.
We then got in line to get food and as I walked down the line to fill my plate, I quickly realized that this buffet is full of what I like to call "old people food." Now, I don't mean that in a negative way, but when the food is mostly mushy items, that's just how I classify it.
Here are some of the items on the buffet: rolls & corn muffins, mashed potatoes, gravy (white and brown), mashed sweet potatoes, green beans, corn, cooked carrots, collard greens, rice pilaf, cornbread stuffing, roasted chicken, baked fish, fried chicken, roast beef, ham, and assorted desserts (including sugar free). Most of the food was good. I didn't care for the fish (overcooked) or the cornbread stuffing (I prefer bread stuffing). I had ice cream for dessert which was pretty tasty!
I didn't try any but my nephew (he's 4) loved the fried chicken. He was gnawing on the bare bone and I was like, "Hey, I'll get you more chicken! Jeeze!!" He's a character. Anyway, the family really enjoyed the meal. The staff were friendly and took our used plates away promptly. I'm sure we'll be back next year. Of course there are better buffets out there with better quality food but if you have a large family, you really can't beat the price here. Other Easter buffets in the Akron area are about $25/person (based on my extensive research).
If you're wondering the time frame, we were in and out of there in 2 hours. Not bad!
