Loggins is hands‑down the best buffet around. I would choose it over Golden Corral any day. The food tastes homemade, not prepackaged like many chain restaurants. A special shoutout to Maria, she's fantastic and always makes you feel like family! read more

Food always fresh and always a great variety of options are available. I love the catfish, the chicken and dumplings, and the crawfish etouffee. read more

I hadn't eaten here in years until today. It reminded me of mealtime at Granny's house. Plenty of choices of home cooking. In my opinion, the seasonings were just right - add your own salt and pepper if it's not enough!! My server was very homy and helpful. She's lucky she wasn't serving me back in the day when I could do serious damage to a good buffet. The building is old, with low ceilings, but that's not a bad thing. I don't think a place like this would do well in fancy new furnishings. Great lunch, y'all!! read more

Old-timey little place. Came on a Sunday and did the lunch buffet. Probably the best catfish I've had in East Texas. The scalloped potatoes were also very, very good. Great service. Clearly, some locals know about this place. It seemed like a place people visit regularly. read more

Real home cooking, and excellent service. The ranch chicken was like your mother used to make as were all the vegetables. I didn't care for the catfish because it wasn't made with cornmeal breading. The topping on the chocolate pie -not meringue - was weird. I will go back. Everything else was comfort food. I will give Loggins five stars. I know it was Aggieland, but I won't hold that against them. read more

If you're looking for an old fashioned country buffet, this is your place. This is like a trip back to the 50's. The decor matches that era and the food is good old fashioned, homemade comfort food. Fried chicken, whole and fillet catfish, chicken fried steak, baked chicken, chicken dumplings, beef stroganoff, corn bread, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese and so on. The food is quite good. In particular the chicken fried steak and fried chicken. Very old school and super tasty. After the meal you get your choice of pie. The price is $10 plus drinks. This is an incredible value for such a good meal. The place is packed with locals. Service is superb. Our waitress Maria was incredibly friendly and very quick to fill our glasses and clear our plates. She also brought us pie. This is what great service should be. read more

Loggins Restaurant - Buffet line - American Near Me - Tyler, Texas

Been a long time since I've eaten a buffet style meal that was so very good. I loved how the waitress knew their customers by name, no doubt this is a local favorite. If you are looking for a new fancy style restaurant this is not the case but I'm one that loves the old style type restaurants. This is definitely going to be my new favorite lunch place! They are only open from 10-2. read more

Buffet was great, especially the fried chicken, fried fish, and enchiladas! Wonderful spot that hasn't changed in decades. The service was very good and attentive. read more

I didn't even know this place was in Tyler because it's is not in the more newly developed retail areas we tend to visit. But I wanted to try something we haven't had. And we were so pleased. An old school diner vibe but it's been working for them. The buffet is such a great value. There are plenty of choices anc they are all delicious. If you want quality home cooking then you should go! read more

This week's Hamburger Sunday is brought to you by Loggins Restaurant, Tyler, TX - since 1949 Burger: Cheeseburger This place was exactly what I needed to shake some of the covid blues away -- a great burger, a wonderfully warm, friendly staff and an original interior of mid-century design in light olive and brown. Check out the neon signage - amazing. #hamburgersunday #burger #gas_food_lodging #signporn #hamburger #signgeeks #diner #neonsigns #neon #vintagediner #vintageneon #vintageneonsigns #cafe #coffeeshop #1940s #1950s #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #supportlocalbusiness #logginsrestaurant #roadtrip #texasroadtrip #texas #mcm #mcmdecor #midcentury #midcenturyfurniture read more

Good food, good price for Sunday lunch buffet. Just returned to area after 25 years and still going strong. read more

All around okay, but not great. Our waitress Maria was hospitable and polite and did a great job. This place definitely has a more homely approach to dining, which is both good and bad. Some of the food ran out towards the end of the day and after I mentioned that a couple items were empty, they asked the two cooks if they would cook more food, and the cooks just gave a tired shake of the head and told us they were done for the day (during business hours, which seemed like apathetic customer service). I wanted to try more of the food I wanted, but they couldn't be bothered to make more. The fried chicken and fried fish were hot and tender and the rest of the food is what I expected it'd be for a $10.95 per person (plus tax) Sunday price. Some of the food was dry and some of it was lukewarm. Probably will go to Luby's in the future if I want traditional dining. But, once again, on the plus side, the service from our server was good. Overall our meal was decent and the free small slice of pie was tasty enough. Glad we got to try this historic restaurant in Tyler, but doubt we will return. read more

Good food Decent selection of meats and sides Home cooked flavor Dated dining area Price was $9.95 Although I'd go back, I just can't eat much so can't justify hubby and I spending $25 for lunch. We rarely eat out in the evening. read more

Comfort food at its finest, like Granny would make. We enjoyed the Sunday brunch, an excellent value. Buffet was varied with many baked and fried selections. Baked sweet potato was best I've ever had and I look forward to going back for a taste of their outstanding pork roast. Staff is warm and friendly, like a favorite Aunt. read more

Loggins Restaurant - L-R, sweet potato, cornmeal stuffing and dressing, pork roast and, baked tilapia - American Near Me - Tyler, Texas

The most amazing all you can eat homemade food buffet in the state of Texas, this food is amazing. I live in Dallas but I come here once a month because this food is so amazing. The restaurant is nothing fancy it's old but the people in the food are great. Chicken fried steak is the best as well as their homemade desserts it's all great! Ask for Maria, she's the funniest nicest kindest best waitress their. Some of the older ones That have been there for a while seem like they don't like what they're doing and can get pretty cantankerous. Maria makes everything better! read more

Went here on a Sunday during lunch based on the large number of 5 start Yelp reviews. It is a seat yourself type of place and we got in without any wait. The place is buffet only and it was 10.95 per person, certainly a good price for a large selection/quantity of food. I was a bit unsure of what some of the buffet foods were, so some labels would have been nice, and the ceiling above the buffet area is a little concerning. It looks like there have been some significant leaks in the past, and there are towels in the vents. The highlight of my visit was the dessert. I chose a slice of the lemon meringue pie and was pleased. read more

Must have been an off day. Food seemed bland only difference between here and luby's is the price. I was a bit dissapointed from all the reviews on yelp it seemed like the place to go read more

Loggins Restaurant - American Near Me - Tyler, Texas

They're pricing themselves right out of business. Went there today for the laast time. Food quality is getting worse too. Hate to see a place I grew up on go downhill, but like a friend says, Tyler doesn't have any good restaurants anymore, and that's so true. Nothing but chain restaurant, who are taught one thing, forget the customer, get the money, get the money, get the money!!!!!!!! That's all they care about. read more

Amazing food!!! Never disappointed try the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese

Delicious, homemade buffet! Wonderful service, Maria was an absolute angel. We will absolutely be back.

Had lunch here just other day. Buffett was nice variety. Offer a senior price also with 1 meat 2 sides and dessert. I had ordered off menu Grilled chicken salad was great not just iceberg but field greens. Service great. read more

This place charged me $3 for my 2 year old to eat a few bites of green beans off the buffet , and the buffet is not all it's made out to be on the ranch radio station lol go to Golden corral much better food and prices for kids read more

Are you visiting town and looking for a home-style place to eat? LOOK NO FURTHER! Set your GPS for LOGGINS RESTAURANT and get some GREAT HOME COOKING... you would think you were at home! The place may be a little packed, because of the lunch and regulars crowd, but don't let that make you nervous... in fact, when you see people waiting, know that it MUST be pretty good. My wife and I walked in... (by the way it IS SELF-SEATING) we just kinda followed the others.. we found a GREAT booth NEXT TO THE BUFFET.. How COOL is that??!! We then went to the buffet and what did we find?!?!? FRESH cooked food... chicken, chicken fried steak, beans, greens, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, and the list goes on. Know that there are different menu items daily, however I was told that their fried chicken is one of their mainstays. Let me warn you as well that the food is HOT and FRESH! Those cooks kept the buffet fresh and if you get to the buffet and something is gone, not to worry, it will be filled in about 3-4 minutes! The desserts were ok, but the the main foods were so good, they could have just made some sugar toast, and I would not have complained. The decor is older, not bad, but not the newest thing out there, I would say rustic and very appropriate for the "family restaurant" feel. My waitress was VERY friendly and just seemed as though I knew her for years. She STAYED busy but always had my glass filled with sweet tea! Needless to say, we tipped her well. Take my word for it, this is the REAL DEAL! Open from 10:30am - 2pm and closed on Saturdays! read more

Some of the best down home, southern cooking Tyler has to offer! Very friendly Staff . All you can eat buffet!

This place is awesome. We came here for lunch while in Tyler because of the previous Yelp reviews, and it did not disappoint. The restaurant has been in business since 1949 (originally it was a drive-in and old pictures are located inside) and the interior looks as if it hasn't been updated since it was opened. This is your typical family restaurant, the type of place that you think only remains in small, one-stoplight towns. We came here at 11:30 am on a Tuesday morning and when we walked in we immediately noticed that the place was already packed. It's seat-yourself seating, so we found a little booth and sat down. The service was prompt and friendly. She didn't give us menus because apparently EVERYONE comes here for the buffet and after tasting it, I could see why. The food was extremely delicious and there was a wide variety of things to choose from. I tried (almost) a little of everything, including mini fried chicken pieces, fried fish, mac and cheese, chicken pot pie, sauteed vegetables, loaded mashed potatoes (they also had unloaded), and collard greens. They also had barbeque chicken, several variety of beans, a salad bar, and several other items I cannot recall. Oh, and I can't forget the delicious rolls and cornbread. And by the taste of it, everything was homemade and fresh! We didn't partake in dessert, but on the counter there was a delicious looking array of pies to choose from, including cherry, apple, cheesecake, a cinnamon role, and lemon meringue. And the best part? The lunch buffet was only $8! The ambiance of this place was just a fabulous. I'm pretty sure we were the youngest people in the place, as the place was full of old-timers who obviously knew every single person in the place, including the staff, and obviously had been going there their whole lives. It was fun to sit and listen to all the interactions. You pay at the front and when we left around noon, there was a wait for tables and the parking lot was full. I highly recommend eating here if ever in the area. read more

Good old fashioned home cooking buffet. You won't be disappointed!

Worth the trip! Came to Tyler area for Santa Land and knew we had to eat here. The wait staff was awesome, the desserts yummy and the food was always hot and fresh! And you can't beat $7.95 for all you can eat! Loved the Aggie memorabilia - gig em! read more

Best place in Tyler for "country cooking lunch". Sweet tea, chicken fried and black eyed peas.

Best part of buffet was the pies. Good selection and quality. Wait staff very friendly. Seemed like instant mashed potatoes and canned veggies. Overall not bad "southern" cooking for the price. Just nothing to write home about. Seemed very popular. read more
