The food is similar to style and options as Golden Corral but better since the food was higher quality. The steak was decent for a buffet but it could use some more seasoning. The hushpuppies and the fried fish had a nostalgic taste but in a good way. The desserts were the star of the show especially the bread pudding and the amount of pie options on the dessert line. I noticed that the process to pay is at the counter by the silverware, drinks, and trays which is different than most places. Overall, it was worth the drive from Kansas City.

Reviews are largely positive. Diners enjoy the wide food variety, friendly, attentive staff, and family-friendly atmosphere. Pricing is seen as reasonable.

Food was delicious. Good variety. Good service. Not really any more expensive than anywhere else. If you leave hungry, it is your fault.

It's always a different opinion when we go. The food is sometimes fresh and sometimes it's not. The prices are getting worse everyday too.

The service is awesome, the food is pretty good, and the strawberry shortcake and Mac and cheese is to die for.

The Hickory House has been around a long, long time. It still looks like the old road house it…read moreonce was and is clearly divided between 'the bar' and 'the buffet'. There is no menu at Hickory House and little decor and no ambience, you come for the buffet, that's what you get. For $10.99 plus a drink, you will get the most awesome ribs you will find around Pomme de Terre lake. The fried chicken is perfect and crisp and juicy without being greasy. Hot, spiced, boiled shrimp, which I hadn't seen done right in years. I was in heaven! There was also Catfish, but I'm not a fan, so I didn't have any although many diners were filling their plates with the filets. Also on the buffet were a couple of vegetables of the day, when I went it was corn on the cob and fried okra. I didn't understand why they would put out whole, foil wrapped baked potatoes and halved, 'twice baked' potatoes as the only two starch selections. That could have been thought out a bit better. But you can hardly go wrong with a baked potato, so that was okay. The twice baked were very, very dry, so I passed on that. Decent salad selection; green salad, a couple of mayonnaise based vegetable salads, some fresh fruit and for dessert, banana pudding or the sheet cake of the day. The cake of the day I went was a deep, dark chocolate with a cream cheese glaze. We got there early, so that cake was still warm from the oven when the put it out. I couldn't pass it up. On an interesting side note, about two years ago, Hickory House had "The Kentucky Headhunters" as part of a July 4th weekend celebration. For whatever reason, Mr. Man and I decided not to go at the last minute. All through dinner, we berated ourselves for passing that up. It's easy to see that when they can afford a live act in the bar side, everything on the buffet side gets pushed against the wall or carted off to make room. I'm sure they rocked it and to have heard "Dumas Walker" in that intimate setting would have been sweet! Ah, regrets... The vibe of the place is awesome, the food was very good, the service and friendliness of the staff was exceptional. We will definitely be going there again. The place opens around 4:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

BEST CHINESE FOOD IN SEDALIA. We ate there this evening and ordered our dinners off the menu, not a…read morebuffet. THIS IS KEY. If you read the bad reviews, most of them say the food was cold. It's a buffet! What do you expect? Buffets are not quality food. Clearly you sacrifice taste and quality so you can be a hog-a-wollerin'. We ordered egg rolls and both the normal, pork egg rolls, and the shrimp egg rolls were EXCELLENT. Hot. Crunchy. Delicious. Best we've had anywhere out here. The Seafood Chef's Special, photographed, was a very generous portion filled sky-high with seafood. The crab is surimi but if you expect real crab in a $12 entree in addition to all the shrimp and scallops, quite frankly, you're a little dense. This entree got rave reviews from both our daughters. And I tasted the vegetable fried rice on one entree and it was DELICIOUSLY flavorful and perfect. The Spicy Shrimp and Scallops in Garlic Sauce was delicious. HUGE portions that filled the plate. The vegetables in the dish complimented the seafood well and went perfectly with the white rice. The broccoli was vibrant green, crisp and delicious. The staff was courteous, attentive, helpful and very nice. I couldn't ask for more at a Chinese restaurant. They were perfect. As for those complaining, let's get into this. You can't blame others for your own stupid choices. 1) The buffet complaints. You CHOSE to eat buffet food. Duh. Buffet food is only good if you're paying $100+ a person. $10 for all you can eat? And you expect that to be quality? Enough said here. It should be perfunctory. 2) The "It's not authentic Chinese food" complaint. THANK GOD. Has anyone ever really eaten authentic Chinese food? Did it have chicken feet and necks in it? If it didn't, that wasn't "authentic" Chinese food. Real Chinese food makes you puke BEFORE you even get the first bite in your mouth. 3) The flavorless complaint. This person is clearly a smoker who's chosen to obliterate his/her tastebuds under the heavy nastiness of tar and nicotine. 4) The "rude" staff complaints. Sometimes people get what they give. Ever thought of that? Our family dines out about twice a week, sometimes once. We've NEVER had a rude server, manager or anything like that. But then again, we're not pompous jackasses who think restaurant workers are beneath us. Ever thought these so-called rude staff were merely mirroring your own nastiness? That's my guess. Lighten up. Find joy in life. Smile.
