    Really good wings and egg drop soup.
    Ray N.

    Paradise Buffet may not be the most grand, aesthetically pleasing establishment but the quality of some of the items and the extraordinary and attentive service are unique and stand out here. Noteworthy: 1) The Hibachi grill- love the staff. They are alert and responsive to special requests eg well done noodles please. The sauces and oils are of good quality. The broccol, onions, mushrooms and cilantro have always been fresh and abundant.( photos). 2) Really delicious, well marinated and grilled chicken wings.( photo). 3) fresh salad bar with good quality a really nice balsamic dressing.. Lots of cut lemons next to a delicious cucumber and tomato salad. 4) from mac & cheese and wings to pizza for the kids to some good fish, steamed fish dishes with very attentive staff looking over and replenishing right away. 5) really good carrot cake and brownies. The team here that picks up the dishes deserves all the credit for their warmth, hard work and patience. Seniors over 60 get a 10% discount and it basically comes to 17 bucks plus drink and tip or so for an awesome lunch. Can't beat that.

    Great service, good food at an incredible price. I was happily surprised with my experience here for lunch. I have been to other buffets before and they were mediocre. Here the food is better than average. With a nice Mongolian barbecue area, fresh fruit, and a large selection of freshly grilled meats. The price is amazingly low. Purpose Sabol was the surface. All the servers, the servers/waitresses, and the cooks were all very friendly. Congratulations to the management for putting together a strong team.

    The pot roast was great, lots of different foods to choose from, including sushi. Josh is an asset to Paradise Buffet. He is right there to help, clean your table and refill your drinks even though it is a self serve buffet. We told him that the cherry coke wasn't working and within minutes he had it fixed. Paradise CEOs, if you're listening, keep Josh, he is valuable. The music is at a good level in the dining area, but extremely loud in the restroom.

    We went there for early dinner to celebrate Mother's Day and was very busy for a Monday night and Cinco deMayo. Some items they have aren't labeled correctly and tasted from OK to good. Servers were good at clearing up plates. Prices are reasonable $12.99' for Senior early dinner drinks extra.

    A family held their celebration of life post funeral gathering here. I was impressed at how many great selections were available. There are more selections available, than the stomach can hold. The prices are very reasonable. The seafood section, the pot roast and potatoes were great, fried jalapeño, salad bar section, sushi/sashimi sections and deserts; wow what a selection. this buffet has ample parking. In addition to the main dining area there are two different private dining areas adjacent to the buffet. The service was very efficient in removing empty plates from our tables without being obtrusive. Great place to eat.

    Mongolian bbq
    Leilani M.

    A few hits and misses but overall great deals for seniors! Grab your Lola and lolo bring them here for a great experience of a buffet meal under $15 with drink. Plenty of seating and also private room areas for parties or special occasions. Large parking lot was full. Mongolian bbq has lots of ingredients to be creative and generous with whatever makes your tummy say, "mmmmm!" Great service! Never had to ask for plates to be cleared they were on top of it. If you're a macaroon fan these were one of the best! I like crispy edges and these had the perfect toast.

    Service is good. Our server took good care of us. Ambiance is ok comfy. Came in time where there is not a long line wait and seating availability is easy to find. Heard weekends are a different story (very busy & crowded). Food was actually good (at least the ones I tried). Better than most buffets I've tried. Price competitive and very reasonable. I liked their sautéed green beans and mushroom. Meat loaf was very good by itself but adding gravy or sauce takes it to next level. Everything I tried was really good. Soups, desserts (not bad at all) specially sesame balls and coconut fritters. Picked the more toastier ones for added bitter sweet flavor (it's just my taste). No doubt will be back for sure.

    Lunch price $13.89

    Paradise Buffet in Montclair gets my stamp of approval because the food I enjoy eating here is consistently good! I'm not too concerned about everything else as long as my favorites hit the mark--and they do. The variety of soups is great, and the Mongolian grill stands out with its thinly sliced meats that cook perfectly. The Chinese section is solid, and I always make sure to grab some Chinese donuts (a personal favorite). Their desserts are also a nice way to finish the meal. If you're like me and focus on specific dishes at buffets, you'll find plenty to enjoy here. Definitely worth a visit if these are your go-to items too!

    They raised the price on Christmas Day although it's posted here as cheaper.
    Lisa May B.

    Save your money. Came for Christmas and in the entrance screen the price was $18.95 for adults 11a-8pm on holidays. Got there and were told it was $23. Gave it a try because of the reviews and obviously those reviews are not real. This place is horrible. The food has no flavor, the Mongolian bar... a joke. The meat is literally defrosting in bowl they have it in! Normally it should be frozen. Then the guy cooking the Mongolian food leaves the food cooking under a bowl for too long! The food was overcooked, the meat was shriveled up and the noodles were overcooked. The waitresses don't pick up your plates because they are too busy talking about their schedules. Please save your hard earned money.

It was our first Finney's Crafthouse experience and they set the bar high for other locations. Everything from the food to the service was 5-stars. We came in on a Sunday during brunch time and they were busy. The staff from the host/hostess stand to our server handled the craziness with professionalism and efficiency. Service did not waiver which made for an overall good meal with the family on Sunday Funday. The Finney's Crafthouse in Claremont is located on Harvard Avenue. As noted above, we came in on a Sunday around brunch/lunch time which also coincides with the Claremont Farmer's Market. As a result, parking was a little bit of a challenge and limited, though not to any fault of Finney's. There were several things that were intriguing on their menu, but ultimately, we ended up ordering the - Cheesesteak Egg Rolls - A5 Wagyu Burger - Pastrami Reuben I am not lying when I saw that everything that touched down on our table was delicious. The Cheesesteak Egg Rolls set the perfect tone to our meal with a generous amount of cheesesteak, crispy shells, and the perfect sauces for dipping to complement the appetizer. The Wagyu burger was excellent. We ordered the larger basket of fries to share which were fried to perfection. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his Pastrami Reuben. The food at Finney's Crafthouse in Claremont was outstanding. We would definitely visit again in the future when in the area. If you are reading this review trying to decide if you should give them a try, the answer is yes!

I looked around the patio area and realized there were two other tables whose patrons were there before us, waiting for drinks and service, just like we were. One of them was fanning herself with the menu, as it was close to 100° outside. (There are no misters on the patio, just a slight breeze now and then. And, if you sit near the patio entrance, you should know that the huge dryer vents from the adjacent hotel are pushing hot air into the patio.)
