JUMBO Buffet is one of the best buffets I have had over my lifetime…read more It is a bastion of Mount Pleasant dining. My children and I still dream of eating there: Crab legs on special nights. Barbecue pork skewers. Withered green beans. Fluffy fried donuts. Stuffed mushrooms. We live in Phoenix, Arizona and miss you so much.

Whew! I finally made it into this place…read more Ok 4th July 2025 11:30 am prime time Pay as you enter. Holiday price just under 15 bucks. Smells good as you enter! Small buffet not what I was expecting Ok on to the food First small plate samples: White Rice and lomein noodles And sample a bit of everything Plastic plates and plastic silverware Big butterfly jumbo shrimp silver dollar size! No shrimp sauce Real good as is! The chicken pot stickers were spot on perfect! Rice was spot on jasmine rice awesome flavor! Lo mein wow outstanding! I could have made a meal out of those two things! Chicken broccoli check! And good Steak and onions with green peppers check but I only did the steak and onions as green peppers are not an out of town road food for me Really good Some cashew chicken I did not see any nuts but it was a little warm on the spice Egg drop soup well mine is better lol But a dash of soy sauce to flavor it And was ok. Second trip more of the same. Hot day so just the small sampling Drinks are serve yourself and included in the 15 dollar price Yea I would stop again if I was in the area But not a destination place for me

Eight of us visited Robert's Buffet around 6pm on Christmas Day evening. The restaurant was…read moremoderately busy, but there were still plenty of tables available. I thought the variety was great, especially all of the salad bar and dessert options. We were here for about an hour and several of us had more than one plate--When in Rome, eh? Our waitress was super friendly and we tipped her well for working on Christmas Day. She took our drink orders and delivered them quickly. She came by regularly to take away empty dishes. All staff we encountered in the dining room were friendly. We all left stuffed and enjoyed our meals. I was bummed that the green bean casserole had bacon in it, but there were plenty of other options. I do recommend looking around at all of the food options before loading up your plate. 4/5 stars because the carpet in the dining room was just a mess. I'm sure 2,000 people (at least) went through the buffet on Christmas Day, but staff could have gone around to clean up the obvious, big stuff stuck to the carpet during the slower times (like when we were there). I saw a little baby crawling around on the carpet and got a bit squeamish knowing there was a bunch of dirty napkins, toothpicks, and food bits everywhere. My parents even commented that they had never seen the floor so dirty, granted we were there on a major holiday. Highly recommend.

Great food and margaritas. Service was excellent with our server. Place is well lit and great place…read moreas big as any other place near by. Had a great time.

Super friendly young person, you don't find this very often.

Well hot day So let's try the chicken ranch…read more I had called and asked if the sr 2-4 pm deal was still on And was quoted 10.99 as food prices had gone up. Well the app is down again, fail to launch in iOS 26 grrrr I got there ahead of my party Well price was higher 12.49 plus a sur charge of .18 merchant handling fee? So 12.67 is the new sr price plus tax Second grrrrr Well let the food rationing begin Salad bar was picked over Hot pizza bar looked tired Maybe 6 big chunks of chicken looked weird like 1/2 a chicken? Or maybe stuck together chicken? No wings , no drum sticks I asked for more chicken and must to have missed that they had refilled the bin When I asked for drum sticks They brought out two and acted like I had raided a private refrigerator... The chicken was undercooked again And not up to food safety temperature Yea I think this location will be a hard pass till they get new managers Avoid this one in summer 2025 Deceptions and bad food.... Yup hard pass

I had to travel for work on a Sunday, which I typically try to avoid. I searched local restaurants…read moreand saw this one, and decided to give it a try. Small town asian restaurants tend to be either really good or really bad, with very little in between. When I go to an Asian buffet type restaurant, I am not expecting the greatest quality, just comfort foods like general Tso's chicken, crab Rangoons, and some white rice at a reasonable price. This place exceeded my expectations. Each of the items in the buffet that I tried tasted fresh, not like it had been sitting under a warming lamp for two hours. The chicken meat (both white and dark) was high quality, no bits of gristle or other unchewable stuff that I often find at lower quality restaurants. The crab Rangoons were really good. Even the rice was very good, not having that dried out texture that it can sometimes get when it sits in a steamer pot for too long. The sushi was also surprisingly good. I never set my expectations high for buffet sushi, but I keep the bar even lower at small town restaurants that serve sushi. I mean, who expects decent sushi at a small town Iowa buffet? It was surprisingly tasty, even if the selection was limited to only one roll type item. My only gripe is that it was kind of dark inside, in spite of the windows being unobstructed and the sun being out. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine, but buffets really should portray a clean and bright environment to emphasize that they are high caliber restaurants. Buffets tend to be viewed as dark, dirty places, and I always encourage proprietors to upgrade their lighting to make their restaurants appear cleaner and more inviting. Aside from the lighting, this place solidly impressed me. For a small town Iowa buffet, it was very good.

Poor food. Could be featured on "The Mullet Review" on YouTube. Cold in the afternoon. My friend…read morelived across the street from there. They walk food up the street from their home to the restaurant. I'm not assuming that they have a dirty house, but it's not inspected at all. Service is lacking because when I went they didn't have fresh food on the buffet. It was old from lunch. I mentioned it and they said they don't fill it when it's been slow. I was there and they were open. Huge fail.
