We both ordered enchilada plates - cheese enchiladas and green chili chicken (I added sour cream, which was a great addition because it helped soften the spiciness of the green chilis). Our food arrived within 5-10 minutes of placing our order and it was served very hot. Our bill was about $30, which also included 2 beverages and chips with salsa. Highly recommend!

Excellent service and even better food.

Just can't give enough positive feedback about this place. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the Brownfield area!

I have read about Hobbs Buffet in the news and decided to stop by with my family when they came to…read morevisit me over the weekend and I took them to Hobbs. This cafeteria-style buffet is located in the mall, has ample parking, and has an inviting and pleasant ambiance. We arrived an hour before opening, not realizing the time difference between Texas and New Mexico so we walked around the little mall until opening time. Hobbs Buffet is a former Furr's that has been purchased by new owners who kept most of the menu items, as well as the buffet format, in place. There are still some signage in place that indicate that this was once a Furr's. However, there is an addition of Vietnamese offerings which sets this place apart from a typical cafeteria. The management and employees were very friendly and certainly went out of the way to make sure my family and I had a good lunch. The food is fresh, the portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable with a senior citizens' discount available. They serve Coca Cola products at Hobbs Cafeteria. I will certainly return the next time I am in the area!

My family members have service dogs that are "medical service dogs" we had to wait for the people in front of us, and all the ones behind us to get their tables. My family members told the hosts that they are discriminating because they had "service dogs" and that she was going to call corporate and the medical association to report the discrimination from the hosts and front desk. After my family member told them that, they proceeded to sit us down in the corner as she had a very angry face. After we had finished our meal, my family member went to the front to ask for the hosts name, the lady refused to give her name as my Aunt stated she was going to contact the owner/corporate a lot this issue. If you have a "service dog" be prepared to be waiting longer than someone who don't. We will never eat here again. We are looking into possible legal action

Empire Buffet has made some key improvements as of late. That calls for a star bump up…read more The drinkware has been replaced! There are some new cool lights near the buffet and checkout area. I have noticed better flavors out of some of the dishes that I wasn't crazy about before. Same great service from the host/owner, Mr. Lin. I just love the koi in the pond up front. My kiddos love getting ice cream from the machine that was unfortunately broken the last time we dined in on 6.26.2026. It's located in Hobbs, NM, near Albertsons Market.

He ordered the baby back ribs and I had the chopped steak. The food came out hot and correct. The ribs were delicious and tender. The meat fell off the bones. The bbq sauce was excellent. He also had mashed potatoes and lemon garlic asparagus. We asked the server to make the asparagus soft and they did it very well!! They were delicious! Very tasty and just right. I had the chopped steak with sweet potato. The mushroom gravy was very thick almost pasty but tasted great. The sweet potato came with cinnamon sugar butter. It was perfect. I also had the salad bar and it was very well stocked. We ended with the chocolate mousse cake. The cake was VERY chocolatey, rich and delicious. Bathrooms were clean too. It doesn't look like much outside but it's worth the trip.

There was plenty of toilet paper. The latch on the door worked perfectly. At that point, I realized I had found a five-star bathroom. So I sat there a little longer to enjoy the peace and quiet and because apparently this was the only place in town where nobody needed anything from me. While contemplating life, I noticed writing on the wall, that said, "If you want the job done right, call Martha." I thought, Well, Martha sounds confident. So I thought I'd give her a call. Turns out it wasn't Martha. It was Bob's Plumbing. So I gave this place 4 stars, they need to occasionally confirm the numbers on the stall walls. And honestly, after the bathroom inspection, I'd trust Bob with the plumbing.
