This has become one of my favorite restaurants in Paris. The salad bar is great and so many delicious options for a low price. Some of our favorites are: hamburger steak with onions and gravy, sirloin steak, grilled chicken, pork chops, and the country fried steak with white gravy. I don't have that many favorite items anywhere else in town. The service is always great too. Highly recommend for good country cooking at an excellent price. Love it! read more

How this place is even open is amazing. Everything i tried was crap. The hush puppy's were dripping oil. The fish was so old it was hard and dry. The manager acted like it was just fine to have hard cold fish on the line. Everything was way over salted. The cucumber, tomato and onion salad was slime. I tried this place a few years ago and will not be returning. The waitress was great and apologized as if the crappy food was normal. read more

A little hesitant at first but realized we had made the right move when we visited the Buffett. Everything was good!

Atmosphere was what I expected for country themed steakhouse. The buffet was nothing special. The food was fine in taste but didn't appear fresh. The dining area could use a good cleaning, there is dust on the wood divider areas. Service was great . read more

Old West Steakhouse - Dusty dining room - Steakhouses Near Me - Paris, Tennessee

Decent buffet when you are in a pinch. Food is nothing special, but ok. The service was good. The building and interior need work.

Food is decent, buffet style or you can order off a menu I believe, but this place is in need of a major facelift!!

I have mixed reviews about this restaurant. The wait staff was short handed so considering they did pretty good. We did have to ask for the rolls and strawberry butter, which is one of the main reasons we went. Our food was brought out in a timely manner. I had the shrimp basket with onion rings. The onions rings were awesome! The shrimp left a lot to be desired. A lot of breading around tiny shrimp. It wasn't the worse I've had but definitely not the best. I wish they would sell the rolls and strawberry butter in bulk ;) read more

Seems to have mixed reviews. Not sure why. We (wife and friends) have been there several times and have always found the staff to be friendly and accommodating. Sure, it's not gourmet food, but there is a great variety and it is well-prepared. The salad bar is sufficient and so are the desserts. Considering the price it's a go to place. read more

Terrible service terrible food don't waste your money. We stuck to the floor so it's not clean. Terry was terrible I would not recommend at all read more

Lunch Buffet was really fresh and good food. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area.

Little confusing as the offer a buffet and regular menu or a combination of both. Food was good and fresh. Steak was done to perfection and chicken was moist and tender. read more

Visiting Camden and was in Paris TN at a craft fair on a Saturday. except for a Chinese restaurant and a dive bar, couldn't really find any place to have a drink. Stumbled on this place. Were waiting for a person who was running late. The waitress was great, in letting us sit for about 1/2 hour and only ordered one beer. At 2:45, she told us that the buffet switched over to a $20 seafood buffet on Saturday at 3pm. It was early to eat but we went for it. If you like 'fried' food, this is the place for you! Personally, it was too much. read more

Food is just average. Seasoning is bland. Need more life to their buffet. Desserts on bar tast like they came from a box.

Seriously the best catfish you'll ever eat! The white beans are amazing as well! I can't believe there's not more business. You locals are really missing out. Second visit and both times the catfish were amazing and very reasonable priced. read more

Okay steakhouse with an extensive buffet. Service was slow and spotty. Salad didn't come out until main entre. This is one of my pet peeves. Then to top it off they left my sweet potato side off all together. Had to ask for wife's soup which they also forgot. Would have another star if they would just train their staff to get orders accurate. read more

First time sea food night, lots of shrimp. I had buffet lots to choose from. I will go again to try it a second time.

Nice service. Don't get the country fried steak with mashed potatoes. Gravy was watery, potatoes tasted like frozen potatoes from an old style TV dinner and the steak patty was awful read more

Stopped in here for lunch and even with a family member with food allergies this Steak house they were very accommodating for our order. The owner actually came to deliver the food to our table to make sure we knew the meal was 100% gluten free and no dairy products. The manager Sara was very kind and friendly and checked on us frequently to make sure ever was fine and that we didn't need anything. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone that has special needs with food allergies. They will do anything possible to please their customers. Thank you, Thank you. read more

Hard to recommend this place I love the owner she's adorable she's hard-working she's friendly their food on the menu not bad little high priced but not bad there food on the Buffay not bad I've had better I've had worse but do not get the Buffay to go absolutely over priced complete rip off light every single thing you take better be the most expensive thing on there because they're charging you for it just not worth takeout on the Buffay read more

This is the 5th time we've been ignored, wrong items, bad attitudes, husband waited 15 minutes to get the wrong drink, another 20 to get the waitress to come take his order. Needless to say we won't be back read more

Not very good food! Onion rings very greasy. Hamburger was overcooked and dry. Service was slow..

At last a family restaurant in Paris. Went tonight for the first time, we had the buffet, over ate. Wanted to try little of almost everything. Will definitely go back, will probably order from the menu next time. read more

Old West Steakhouse - Back in Time - Steakhouses Near Me - Paris, Tennessee

Great service, waitress was awesome, buffets ( salad and meats and sides ) were simple but well maintained. For the price of lunch it was a great deal. read more

I got the buffet. The mash potatoes have no flavor at all. Also the green beans had no flavor. It was like eating them out of a can. The roasted chicken was burnt and the rolls are hard. I would not recommend this place to eat. read more

Great place/ will definitely stop again when in area. Had buffet, great variety and food. Even had peel and eat shrimp, Awesome. Daughter upgraded and had steak and they took forever- but gave it to us and by then she had eaten many other great items. Great service and many asked if needed anything, find is rare often. read more

It's a middle of the road kinda place. I wouldn't make a special trip but people who like a buffet might be ok with the food here. Catfish wasn't bad. Not many dessert choices. Waitress was friendly and attentive read more

Appeals to the over 65 crowd. I would love to see more healthy choices. My Dad loves this place , then again a plate of fat and cheap carbs makes him easy to please. Please fix the time ice cream machine before my dad passes or just remove it. Staff is nice and friendly. please turn down that twangy country music I want to be able to talk when I go out. In a town with more choices this place would be empty. Complacency is a dangerous thing, hopefully they work to attract a younger family crowd before all their older clientele pass on. read more

I feel after reading the other two reviews that I had finally found a good place in Paris to go. Paris doesn't have many family restaurants and I know this one had been saying coming soon for what seemed like forever. We aren't from Paris so don't come this way often but I really didn't feel like driving all the way back to Clarksville to go out to eat. Being from Dover you don't get many choices there either so we took our chances in Paris. Looked up this place on yelp (since I wasn't sure if it was even open yet) and sure enough it was. Plus the reviews stated they have a buffet (heck yeah). Pulled in wasn't to many cars but just enough to make you think this place might be good. Walked in to one of the 2 entrances they seem to have. Sign said wait to be seated so we did and it took several minutes before someone noticed we were standing there. Now the entrance is really nice and they did a wonderful job on the decor even if the name says "Old West" it wasn't really old west themed but you don't come there for the decor you come to eat. So after the host decided where we should sit (it wasn't like there wasn't any tables) she finally found us a boothe near the door. We were first greeted by one waitress which asked what we would like to drink which we stated sweet tea then she was off to go fix our drinks. A few minutes later another waitress brought us our tea's. As we were waiting we briefly glanced over the menu but kept having our eye turned to the buffet. I should go back and say that the host did explain the buffet to us as she seated us. It is on Friday, Saturday night, and Sunday and it is 12.99 (drink not included) you can also get steak, just walk up to the window and tell them what you want and they will cut it for you. So back to when the waitress brought us our tea she asked what we would be having tonight and we both agreed on the buffet. She asked if we would like rolls we of course said yes. We then needed to ask where the plates were (since it was our first time) she was very friendly and more than happy to answer our questions and tell us where everything was. We then proceeded to the buffet. It was very well stocked with items and someone was always out bringing more items out to it or cleaning up after a spill from a messing person. We first walked over to the window to get a "steak" we again stood for a few mins before a waitress asked had anyone helped us yet. We stated no and she soon found someone to assist us. The "steak" was in this water marinade liquid stuff I am guessing to keep it from drying out. The guy would pull out a piece of the meat and cut into it to see if it was the medium I was looking for. Now I keep saying "steak" because I don't think it was truly a sirloin as they stated. They also had frog legs, catfish , fried chicken, and all kinds of other items on the buffet. So for 12.99 you do get a lot to chose from and the dessert bar has quiet the selection on it. When we arrived back to our table the rolls were there waiting on us and it was paired with some pink butter. Now at first I was not sure about this pink stuff so I tried just a little and realized it was strawberry butter. Now this was a first for me and I do have to say that strawberry butter is pretty good even the hubs liked it and that is saying something. Now here comes the not so great part of our experience....As we were sitting there eating I was facing toward the kitchen so I could see who came in and out of it. I did notice there was a lot of traffic that was not workers coming from back there. Kids coming from out of the kitchen, men in sleeveless shirts coming from back there. Now I assume this was the owners family but when you are dealing with food you don't let just anyone in your kitchen when you are serving the public. Towards the end of our meal the little boy that had been back and forth in the kitchen area came out and spoke to who I think is the owner about a dog. She then proceeded to tell him not to bring the dog through the kitchen and to take it out the back door. So not only do you have people who don't work there (and if they did they don't need to be wearing cut out sleeveless shirts) coming out of a place you fix food you also have a dog in the back where food is being prepared. While the service was great the food a good price for the money I just can not see myself going back to a place who so carelessly allows things like this to go on in a kitchen. I was really hoping we had found a good spot so I guess the search continues... read more

Ms. Jones would like to share the Old West Steakhouse in Paris, TN as her guilty indulgence with her Dear Readers. Traveling through town on a crisp Fall day with her rock star husband at her side, the lovely Ms. Jones and Mr. Rock Star happened upon this fine establishment of absolutely delicious home-style, southern cooking. And no, unlike the previous fussy reviewer wrote, we are NOT over the age of 65 and would like to remind those following these reviews that Mr. Rock Star learned his culinary skills at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, France (no joke). One does not come to Paris, TN looking for a lettuce wrap and a rice cake--if you are traveling through this gem of a town, seek what is indigenous to this region. After all, one would not go to a fast food restaurant and expect to find Pheasant under glass, so why on earth would you expect to find "healthy options" at a Southern Diner? Oh, that's right--you wouldn't. Eat what the natives eat and you won't be disappointed. For $6.99 Ms. Jones and Mr. Rock Star had the most glorious buffet lunch that included creamy mashed potatoes, tasty greens, the best fried chicken you've ever put in your mouth (also no joke), hot yeast rolls...just dish after dish of Southern goodness. The service was fast and friendly. The country music in the background was perfect (and Ms. Jones is not a fan of country music) as it perfectly rounded off the experience of enjoying a meal at this wonderful, down home spot. Go here. You will LOVE it. read more

Passing through Paris my Dad and I happened upon Old West. We arrived around 4pm on a weekday and were seated with waters within a minute or two of entering. The menu had many different options but they have a killer buffet deal during the week (Monday - Thursday 9.99) A few items off the top of my head from the buffet were: Baked and Fried Chicken, Hamburger Steak, Fried fish, green beans, sweet and regular potatoes, soup, salad, cornbread. Everything I ate was fresh and as hot or cold as expected. They even give you a complimentary basket of dinner rolls which was nice. All in all I'll be back again for the quick service and great buffet! read more

We went on a Sunday evening and found to our suprise there was a buffet. Everything was so good I was sad I didn't have room for more. We came back Thursday evening and ordered off the menu. The fresh hot bread at the table was awesome. Service was pleasant and everyone did their best to make us feel at home. There was quiet music in the background with a very western decor. We had come for the fried chicken that was in the buffet but it is not on the menu. No problem the waitress convinced the cook to make my wife a breaded chicken breast. It was so good we told them they should include it on the menu. You want a good meal and a quiet night out this is the place for you. Ps. you have to try the homemade ranch dressing. Best I ever had. read more

We like the buffet is quite good. Perfect for lunch with no wait and good food. We love going when we come to Paris.

Food was ok but nothing special. Many of the buffet utensils were wrong for the food they were being used for making a mess of the food. Desserts had huge spoons that destroyed the pies, you try to get a slice and it is a mangled mess. The meatloaf had the same problem. The floors looked clean but were super slippery. Like butter slippery. Waitstaff was great and really on the ball. I will give them a better rating when they fix these issues. They are new and i am sure will sort out the issues soon. read more

Had the buffet for our first visit. Good selections, well prepared, and tasty. Would come back again. There are many selections on menu We want to try. Finally, a family Restaurant in Paris with good food. read more

Went there with my dad and boyfriend. My dad got the buffet, the fish was fresh and GOOD. I got the steak and mashed potatoes. Steak was soo good until, i seen There was a hair on my plate. Not inside my food, just laying on my plate. The whole table lost their appetite including me. Probably won't be back for a while. read more

Stopped today at 4 pm...not busy, but young lady was cleaning tables and floor. Had the buffet, not great, but not bad either (also I was not very hungry) I will try it again and update. read more

Our new "favorite eating place" when visiting near Paris, TN. Pros: VERY large buffet selection Very good food Reasonable prices Friendly staff (the cooks, too!) Cons: "Soft Serve machine" is quite old, and sometimes produces cold liquid rather than frozen product. WiFi signal seems too weak to use read more

i would give them zero stars if it would let me. we went for mothers day, the menu said salad bar and desert bar, but it was closed because of this covid crap. that is all good and well, I could understand that they have to bring me individual salads and deserts. but they refused to honor what their menu said, and it was a covid19 printed menu that is suppose to be because of their limited menu selections. waitress and managment rude about it. and the food was horrible, I mean horrible. a hamburger was so gross that none of us could eat it, not even our dogs would eat it at home. That was one of many bad dishes, the only thing that was good was the catfish although even that was way to salty. never again. read more
