If I could give 10 stars I would! This buffet never disappoints no matter what time of day you get there. The hot food is always hot and the fried chicken is some of the best I ever had. They also have a nice selection of desserts. The servers are always so friendly and nice. It worth noting that the tables are nicely spaced apart. read more

Duff's is popular among the senior. The food sodium is very light. Great for older generations. The restaurant has senior and children discount. Food choices include the hot food. Normally two beef, two seafood, pork and a lot of chicken and vegetables dishes. Selection is good. That also includes the salad bar and dessert bar. I like the most is the soup choices. I like the clam chowder. Very delicious and do not miss it. read more

We stopped by for lunch. The salad bar was wonderful, as usual. The main course daily offerings were spaghetti with a choice of sauces and meatloaf. They always have good fried chicken and sliced turkey. The cobbler of the day was bing cherry which was great! The service is always speedy and friendly. For the money, it's a great place to put your feed bag on! The ambiance is pleasant and the buffet is always clean and frequently monitored. read more

Duff's Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Food was Excellent. Everything was So Fresh and Hot. But Our bad timing , because 2 Bus Loads of People came in and Made Table Service stretched and slow. The Waitresses were stretched with so many People so my Drinks were refilled kinda intermittently. The Food was Delicious. read more

This was a pretty good experience, especially since we haven't been to a buffet since before Covid. The salad bar is top shelf, you'd be hard pressed not to find what you're looking for in salads and such. Good variety of proteins such as, carved roast beef, ham, fried and baked fish, same with chicken, and more. The few attendants keep your table clean of plates while filling up your drinks when needed. read more

This place is amazing! This is a more extensive buffet than once a cruise ship. There is alarge variety of salad items meats, beans and veggies, and deserts. It was extremely hard for me to not keep going back for more. I could probably eat here every day for weeks and not eat everything they offer. If you're dieting, this might blow it. read more

This buffet has a nice variety of salads and toppings, along with chicken salad, and more, to cold shrimp and crab salad. To 7 or more hot vegetables, a carving station. Fried or baked chicken or fish and a selection of 6 or more deserts, all served in a comfortable dining room by friendly staff who make you feel welcome. This place stays busy for a reason! read more

For a Sunday buffet after church. Duff's is hard to beat. Food is good. Atmosphere can be loud at times. Staff is constantly sweeping and keeping tables and interiors clean. Nice read more

Duff's Buffet - Big round and buffet bound? - Buffets Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

I was looking for a good local buffet yesterday, and I decided to check this place out. The young man at the counter seemed very helpful and friendly, and I was quickly checked out and got to a table within just a few minutes. They had a pretty good selection of food, and it all tasted fresh. I had things like fried chicken, spaghetti, corn, Black Eyed Peas, meatloaf, baked ziti. Their desserts were excellent though, and well worth picking up: especially the banana cream pudding and soft serve vanilla ice cream, which I quickly became addicted to. All in all, it made for a satisfying meal. I hope to return again soon. read more

So, I went to the buffet with my family, feeling a little nostalgic for the days of Sweet Tomatoes. When I saw they had a salad bar and soup, I thought, Alright, let's see if this is the reincarnation I've been waiting for. Let me clear the record though, this was not Sweet Tomatoes in price or in soup & salad spread. Now, I'll give them credit, the variety was solid. They had a little bit of everything, but when it came to flavor, especially in the proteins, it just wasn't doing it for me. I had been secretly hoping for something with a soulful punch, like the southern kitchens you find in Savannah or Charleston, where the food whispers to your taste buds, sit back, you're home now. Instead, this felt more like, welcome to suburbia, we tried. The highlights? The salad bar was fresh and inviting, and the desserts knew how to hold their own. Will I go again? Sure. But it's not going to be one of those steady, weekend kind of spots. More like, eh, let's give it another whirl in a few months when the craving hits. read more

This gotta be one of the best southern buffets near the TPA area. It really feels and tasted like home cooked food. I usually avoid the weekends particularly Sundays because the lines can be long but I'm glad I found this place. Depending on the day you go, it can be seafood day, taco day, etc. read more

I had a free Wednesday afternoon so I decided to hit up this Buffett and see what's happening here. You know since the pandemic, Buffetts are rare these days. So when I saw there was one available, I was mildly excited!! Well needless to say I was not disappointed at the offerings during lunch time as it was full on assault of food that dabbled in dinner options! The highlights were the fried chicken, ribs, some pork stew and the broccoli casserole. Check it out for yourself and tip well! The workers were def hustling, clearing plates and doing refills! read more

My husband and I grew up in areas that had Duff's Smorgasbord restaurants. They were very good back then (70's and 80's) but they eventually closed. After finding this place here in Florida, we were very excited to see if it was the same Duff's we knew and loved years ago. Excited to find out that it was, we headed that way one afternoon. We arrived less than 15 minutes after opening time and the line was backed out the door. By the time we got in we could see the place was packed! But it was so worth the wait. This buffet is not like most others. All kinds of delicious bites. Everything we tried was top notch. The waitress was rarely around but it is a buffet so we only needed her for drinks anyway. We will definitely be back when we're in that area. Wish it wasn't that far away, but it's probably a good thing that it is... it's soooooo good! read more

Duff's Buffet - weekly menu - Buffets Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Came here with some friends for lunch. We were shown to our seats. There are discounts for Senior Citizens. Our server, Didi, was very professional and friendly. She came to the table to make sure everything was okay. There was such an enormous amount of food to choose from. Soups, salads, meats, seafood and desserts. The ambiance was really accommodating. I'll definitely be back and recommending this establishment to friends. read more

The food is decent, nothing to rave about, just standard buffet fare. It's fine for a quick lunch, but I wouldn't recommend it for dinner. The selection is okay, though not overly impressive. The salad is actually pretty good, though! As for the desserts, they look great but don't taste as good as they appear. The chocolate lava cake is especially disappointing. The only dessert I really enjoyed was the ice cream. Overall, it's not a bad place, but it's definitely better suited for lunch rather than dinner, and I wouldn't say it's worth the higher dinner prices. read more

4 stars. Came here on Rosh Hashanah, since I heard this was the place to go for the 'after church' crowd (well, temple, don't tell the rabbi). Always a gamble when a buffet requires you to pay ahead! We got $10 cash for a tip. $50 for a family of three is pretty cheap for dinner. Food is plain, but not bland. Don't come here expecting gourmet fare...this is more for gourmands with unsophisticated palates...which in this case is not a bad thing. You might need to add pepper or salt to taste. Highlights for me include the salad bar, cucumber tomato salad, collards, pot roast, roast beef, carrots, beets, collards and the crab cakes. My favorite dish that might come as a surprise are the fried chicken livers. Just like bubbe used to make. The Cole slaw was also surprisingly good. Very tasty desserts. Place is clean, servers are friendly, and the buffet service tables were kept clear and clean. read more

This place has the freshest most delicious food and at a great price. Tuesdays and Fridays are my favorite days to go for crabs cakes, fried and broiled fish. They have a big selection, the deserts are amazing. I highly recommend Duffs Buffet. read more

Went to a table and put receipt on a table to reserve it then went for food. Went back to reserved table and my receipt was gone and someone else was sitting there. The server held up My receipt and said I couldn't sit there and moved me to another table! By the way, it was crusty dirty. After 5 minutes sitting there with my food, I had to ask for my drinks. Server never refilled glass with a drink and took my plate and silverware. Didn't ask if I wanted more silverware so I could get more to eat had I wanted any. Brought all of this attention to the manager who didn't apologize. When I said I wouldn't be back, she said ok, not ask if there was anything she could do to fix it. read more

We stumbled upon this adorable buffet for lunch, at $14 a person you are definitely getting a bang for your buck! My favorites were the chicken pot pie soup, the crab cakes and the homemade Ceaser Salad. I also was impressed at the service, our server refilled our tea 5 times! It was incredibly professional and clean for a buffet. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good, cheap place for lunch in the clearwater area. read more

A couple of years ago this buffet opened in Clearwater Florida in a small strip mall. It has become a place I visit when in the area. Its consistently good loosely based on home cooking. The buffet is pretty extensive from salad bar to dessert. On my recent visit I had fried chicken livers. Nicely seasoned and cooked to perfection; its an acquired taste. I had the Ceaser salad from the bar, pretty simple. I tried the baked pasta dish. Nothing to brag about, it passed, that's about it. I tried the fried fish. It was too much and had no consistency to it, and was pretty bland. I also tried the fried green tomatoes. They too were more on the unseasoned side. Had spiced apples for dessert, overcooked and no flavor. Considering the fact that the food is on a steam table for quite a while. They always have a carved meat, but looks more like a carved loaf. Overall the food is OK, but nothing to really outstanding. They have a wide section of salads and desserts, as well as potatoes and vegetables. I will say its hard to keep items fresh on a buffet, but the seasoning needs to be adjusted. The service is always great. We have either Zak or Dee Dee wait on us. They are friendly and attentive. If your in the area, its worth a try. Nothing fancy but all in all pretty good. read more

Food was good with a nice variety. Will definitely go back. Their bread pudding was amazing

Adult lunch $14.29 Children 3 and under, $2 My wife and I came here for lunch with our 10 month old baby. Even though the baby is still on formula and pureed food, the lady at the front was still adamant about charging us $2 for a 10 month old baby. Pretty ridiculous considering our baby slept the entire time. The lady at the front said, "well, she's still going to drink water." I told the lady, "the baby is on formula and puréed food, and her response was, "well, it's only $2." Whatever. Even Disney World doesn't charge for children 3 yrs and under. The food was decent, nothing to write home about. I'd equate it to a buffet style Perkins with fewer options than Golden Corral. Would we return? Probably not, but if we do it would be without the baby. However, if we go out without the baby we'd go to a better place for a $40 lunch. read more

Very crowded, food ok, tables too close, noisey, desserts not so good, dirty table and bathroom so so

Great selection of food excellent service very friendly staff. The price is very reasonable. they go out of their way to get whatever you request, I asked for chicken wings, plain without sauce, and they made them up special for me, that's what I call service. tipped them well they deserve it. read more

Food choices are excellent, salads, like potato salad, coleslaw and macaroni are made fresh onsite. Foods are not salty. Reasonable prices. Highly recommend this Buffet read more

I have been eating at Duff's for a few years now and for whatever reason I am just getting around to writing a review... Duff's is a traditional, American style buffet. Usual staples are carved ham, roast beef and turkey. They also have ribs, fish, GOOD fried chicken, corned beef, goulash, spaghetti, stuffed green peppers, Mexican food on Thursday, and on and on! All of the expected side dishes: mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, green beans, sweet potatoes, and so on. The menu changes throughout the week. Duff's has a nice salad bar and soup station along with several different desserts and ice cream. Duff's is a nice family-friendly restaurant that treats their customers right. They play traditional 1950s and 60s Musak in the background- and that's fine with me. Sometimes they get a little busy, but that's because everybody likes their food! I eat at Duff's at least once a week and sometimes twice. One of my favorite Pinellas County restaurants! read more

I was really looking forward to an awesome buffet. It was just ok. Food was very bland and maybe that's what folks want since it was busy as soon as they opened. It's reasonably priced and clean. I'd honestly say Golden Corral has better options and flavor. Not much more to say. read more

This was a hard OK place. It is exactly what I came to expect from the Duff's of days gone by. Tasty food, easy pickings, cheap price. Truly a great bang for the buck. The bread pudding is just like it used to be. Service was spectacular. The place was PACKED and LOUD. If you can get over that, this is a firm place to check out for your dining pleasure. ...and the bread pudding was still good. If I did not already say that elsewhere. ;) read more

One of the best buffets I have been to!!! We went on Christmas Day. There was a line to get in but it moved fast. They had a good system. They worked as a team. Food was fresh and hot!!! read more

First time at Duffs after recommendations from neighbors. It was a large clean space, bright, with many food options and a large salad bar. So many options to choose from-and this was just lunch. Surprisingly, I'd recommend the mini crab cakes. The pot roast was tasty too. Probably the one thing that was not as expected was in the desert section. I tried some 'cheesecake' which was the least cheesecake thing I've ever had. Overall-a nice experience. read more

The staff was wonderful ! Huge selection of foods , sides and desserts , and carving station all hot and delicious ! Prices were for sure worth it for both adults and children ! This is for sure our new family stop ! read more

against my better judgment, and on recommendation from neighbors, I decided to Duff's. It is very clean, but also very dated and gives the vibes of a 1970s hospital cafeteria . The salad bar is fresh, but nondescript with fairly limited choices . But if you came for anything hot, don't. Pre-processed tasteless, swill in gain vats. Everything taste like reheated frozen food anything that should be for deep-fried is not it's been baked. The french fries were flavorless. If you have no teeth, you'll appreciate the textures. The desserts are an absolute monstrosity. The cheesecake is an absolute obscenity. my recommendation is to avoid displace at all costs. read more

The food was amazing and was the perfect temperature speedy service even when it was busy and the restaurant was also well kept and cleanly

Nice assortment - multiple options that change daily. Very reasonable - it's consistently clean, service staff is friendly and efficient.

Went to Duufs last night. The food was very tasty. I had at least 10 different items. Then went home and spent half the night vomiting and butt squirting. read more
