    the front of the restaurant

    I'm updating my review since I have eaten inside recently. It was a Monday and my family and I went for dinner. We paid 15.99 per person. Although they have a big selection of food the restaurant looks old and dingy for it to be a renovated space and the bathrooms are nasty. Although my family commented on them having the best tasting food they've had at a buffet, they also asked that we never go there again because of the lack of cleanliness.

    I came here after work with my boyfriend on a Thursday evening. I found this place on TikTok so it was a tad busy. We got seated quickly and our server was nice and attentive. I wanted the crab legs but they didn't have available this day. The food was good but my boyfriend and I got full really fast like strangely fast.

    Tasty food

    Updating my original review. They really do need to update the cashier station / payment process. It is ALWAYS crowded with people and the cashier can never keep up with who's next. Today, it took forever for the cashier to weigh and let me pay for my food because there was a couple with their daughter who didn't have enough money to pay, and the boyfriend went to his girlfriend's car to look for some cash she told him he could find there. They thought their daughter could eat free as part of the free birthday meal policy so they'd only brought enough money for 2 meals. But the handwritten sign at the desk said the only way to get the free birthday meal is with a ticket / party of 4 paid-for meals. The boyfriend took FOREVER to return from the car with the additional money and the cashier just let me stand there waiting instead of voiding their order out and ringing me up. By the time the bf made it back from the car, there was another customer standing behind me waiting to pay for her take-out food too AND a large party of more than 5 adults with kids waiting to pay so they could dine in. It was pretty frustrating to be standing there wasting my lunch hour like that while my food, which wasn't the hottest to begin with, was getting cold. There also appears to be some sort of issue with their phones. I tried calling the other day and it said number could not be completed as dialed. Tried it again today - same thing. I wanted to ask if they had a specific item on the menu before I drove over because it's not an every day item. I also wish they would label the offerings. For some items, it's easy to determine what you're looking at (chicken and broccoli, crab legs, etc). But for other items - you have no idea what you're looking at. Is that a chicken and cheese quesadilla? Or is that just a cheese quesadilla? I know that's salmon. But what's the mystery topping on the salmon? Is that orange chicken or sweet & sour chicken? Is this ground pork? Or ground beef? There are things that I've not tried simply because I had no idea what it was and I didn't want to waste money (they weigh your tray for take-out orders) by getting something I didn't love. I also have a few food allergies - so I like to know that I'm not about risk an itchy, hive-covered night for a bite of mystery meat. Food / Taste I've discovered that depending on the time of day, you might get old, dried out food. It's happened to me twice now. Don't get me wrong - you can look at the food and absolutely tell whether or not it's dried out, but on the occasions where I just 'bit the bullet' and got it anyway, it's because a) I didn't have the time to go someplace else and b) I didn't have the time to cook before my next meeting. Also - I finally tried the fish. One associate told me it was 'white fish.' Another told me he thought it was whiting. He asked the associate next to him and she said she thought it was tilapia. I'm not a farmed fish snob. I've had some tasty tilapia in my day. My only requirement is that it be mild fish (ie whiting, flounder, tilapia, grouper, red snapper). But the one mild fish that I absolutely cannot stand is SWAI. It's just so mushy and bland. If I'm gonna go this mild I'd rather eat cod or Alaskan pollock. The fish on this buffet is absolutely swai. And if they're being told it's whiting, their vendor is lying to them. I grew up in a fishing town where fish and shrimp were cheaper than ground beef or chicken. And I can safely say there is no way this is whiting. Price / Value The value remains the same. You can dine in from 11am - 4pm for $7.99. This lunch special means the place is FULL of people STUFFING themselves with crab legs. Lol. Overall Overall, I'll go back, but I'll be sure to hit them up when they first open at 11am to try to beat the crowds - and to make sure my food is fresh (instead of dried out) and hot.

    The hot wings are good and so is the corn!

    Good food. Clean. Lots of options and the buffet is always topped off with fresh food. Our waiter was a very nice guy too. Lots of Sushi options, freshly made right in front of you.

    The food was spectacular! Everything there was juicy and fresh! Love the many selections and I can't believe they have so many seafood options! I always love a buffet with crab legs, crawfish, shrimp, calamari, and fish! They have so many sushi options and love the hibachi there. The fruits are so fresh and they have a lot of dessert and ice cream options! Price reflects the quality of the food so love that it's still affordable and that you get delicious food! Took my Australian friend here and he now wishes he could go back here. I will definitely be coming here frequently.

    Only reason they didn't receive 5 stars, I think they could of had a little bigger selection for option for hibachi.

    I go to the JohnBoy's on Canton Road. There are always healthy choices, great salad options, and…read morethe sweet tea is amazing! (I always get half sweet/half unsweet; just ask for "half-n-half" if you're cutting back sugar.) The wait staff treat everyone like regulars, and the kitchen staff keep the buffet full of delicious choices. The menu changes daily, so check the website if you're picky. I heard there's another JohnBoy's in Cartersville, I've never been there, but it's probably the same.

    Not fresh at first, but decent if you push for it…read more I was pretty disappointed with how long the chicken and chicken livers had clearly been sitting out. When I arrived, I grabbed a piece of chicken and it was already cold, so I decided to wait for them to bring out a fresh batch. Same thing with the chicken livers: cold and not refreshed the entire time we were eating. Near the end of the meal, I finally asked if they were planning to put out fresh chicken. I explained that I tried it when I got there (about 30 minutes earlier) and it was cold, and nothing had been replaced. The staff member said she could start working on some, so I waited. About 12 to 15 minutes later, they did bring out fresh chicken and fresh chicken livers, and honestly, when it's fresh it's actually pretty good. The mashed potatoes were another issue. They had a thick, crusty layer on top, and it looked like they dumped the old, dried-out potatoes from the previous pan over the fresh batch. I had to scrape off the crusty topping just to get to the fresh potatoes underneath. Overall, the food itself isn't terrible. The bigger problem is the way it's being handled. It felt like they were more focused on cutting costs and stretching old food than keeping the buffet fresh and consistent. My advice: if something you want looks like it's been sitting out too long, say something early before you sit down. If you wait, you may never see fresh food brought out.

    Firstly, I want to share that I have celiac disease--a serious medical gluten allergy--as well as a…read moredairy allergy. Because of this, dining out, especially at a buffet, always felt nearly impossible to me. Nori Nori completely changed that perception. My first interaction with the restaurant was a phone call to ask whether they offered tamari. The hostess was incredibly courteous and immediately reassured me that they did. When I arrived, I was warmly escorted to my table, and the Chef/Owner--who I believe held both roles--personally came over to guide me through the menu items I should avoid. She also explained that many dishes could be prepared gluten-free and dairy-free so I could enjoy them safely. That level of care and attentiveness was both comforting and genuinely touching. Now, onto the food... They offered veggie and salmon rolls, refreshing cold salads, and hot dishes such as Oriental Fish, steamed snow crab legs, seasoned scallops, and some of the fluffiest white rice I've had in quite some time. At one point, I had a question about a particular dish, and before I could even worry, the Chef was right there to help. She kindly steered me toward another wonderfully fragrant option that was safer for me to enjoy. Her attentiveness felt incredibly sincere--like someone truly invested in making sure I had both a safe and memorable dining experience. That small gesture meant more to me than I can fully express. Living with dietary restrictions means that something as routine as choosing a meal can be emotionally exhausting and potentially dangerous without constant vigilance. To make the experience even more thoughtful, the restaurant also provided plastic gloves so I wouldn't need to touch shared tongs or surfaces. Since I can react to contact with gluten-contaminated surfaces, this extra precaution made me feel genuinely cared for. And finally, dessert: sliced honeydew, cantaloupe, and CHERRY JELLO! It was the perfect ending to such a thoughtful, safe, and genuinely delicious dining experience. I can't wait to return again!
