There is nothing like some Shakey's Pizza, Fried Chicken & Mojo Potatoes. I enjoyed it as a kid and still love it as an adult. The Carson, CA location has nice workers and good customer service. It gets pretty busy at this location but it's worth the wait. I like that they have never changed their flavor. Yum Yum . I recommend this restaurant.

So happy to find Shakey's open until 10pm. Late night and wanted something. PCM for one was perfect. Everything was fresh and perfectly baked and fried. Service was friendly and while I was ordering each item individually, the cashier suggested PCM individual order and that saved me some money! The restaurant was bigger than what looked like from the outside. Clean and orderly. Located in the same plaza as Walmart. Will come back!

Definitely a good experience right as you walk in you're greeted with welcome and as you leave they say thanks and goodbye. The staff is focused during bunch of lunch time during the week. They do the refills on the pizzas as well as the other proteins and pastas pretty regularly as well as the wipes off the tables in the dining area pretty consistently keeping things clean. Just an overall we know what this is about and we're here to serve. Definitely make sure to leave a tip like I did even though I don't think it's required or noticed but nonetheless they work hard help him out. As for the food the salad bar is fairly decent Lot of options on the toppings hit and miss on the lettuce so just filter through. The proteins beginning with the chicken was decent the batter on the skin was a little lacking in flavor and as was the pork riblets. Didn't try the pasta or the grain based offerings other than moving on to the pizza Pizzas; were OK as you know from Shakey's the crusts were crisp and there was enough cheese on the pizzas. Drink station sufficed allowing you to get sodas/ras tea/lemonade, tea-sweet or unsweet and water with lemon option. All in all good experience will return the manager's doing it right and the employees seem enthusiastic about being there. Monday - Friday: $14.99 per adult. Saturday - Sunday: $15.99 per adult. Seniors: A $1.50 discount is typically available. Beverages: These are usually not included in the buffet price and cost approximately $2.00 extra. Hours: Served daily from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Menu: Includes unlimited pizza, fried chicken, Mojo Potatoes, pasta, and a full salad bar.

I remember when most Pizza Hut dine-in restaurants would have a weekday buffet, and I would 'drag' my co-workers to it (when we wanted variety from our typical AYCE Chinese buffets). Those lunches are all gone now, so when I got the itch of nostalgia, this Shakey's Pizza Parlor in Carson was our destination for a Tuesday lunch. It was very satisfying. My wife and I invited our friend/neighbor to come with us and arrived around 11:20. There was still parking in the strip mall parking lot, but can see how those spots would fill up quickly. Upon entering, there is a line where you order and pay (The buffet runs from 11 AM to 2 PM daily, costing $14.99 for adults [$1.50 senior discount, plus $1 on weekends]). Got our customary water cups, which can be filled from a nice water container near the utensils (there is also a self-serve soda machine). A plate for pizza and a plate for salad is given to each diner, and the obligatory sign stating that a clean plate is needed for every trip was visible. The set-up isn't easy to get a new plate, since the only way to talk to a counter person is to fit into the same line that people are waiting to enter. I was pleasantly surprised when someone walked around giving out fresh plates as old ones were bussed. There were a choice of up to five different pizzas, and it tasted OK (reminded me of Chuck E Cheese pizza) with plenty of cheese and toppings. If you get lucky and get a fresh one, it would probably taste a bit better. But I was impressed with the amount of toppings. I also tried the spaghetti with sausage marinara (OK for a one-time try), and enjoyed the sweet corn, and really good mashed potatoes with gravy. The other main dish was chicken (both baked and fried, about as good as what you can get from a grocery deli, which is pretty decent, a skippable rice pilaf, and cocktail meatballs (which I know I should skip, but can't resist since they almost always taste good). Their famous Mojo potatoes weren't as good as I thought it would be. What I was really impressed was the salad bar. It had more choices with fresh(er) ingredients than either of the last two salad bars I remember (at Golden Corral and on various cruise ships). This is what I returned for seconds, and would be a good choice for non-pizza fans (though strangely, there is no salad bar only option on the menu).

Family style dinner

We had a great dinner! Food was delicious Thank you for the fast and excellent service. The ambiance was inviting and enjoyed watching the soccer game! Thank you Milton for your welcoming ambiance.

Dined in. Missed the red onions in the salad bar area. Ordered a small pizza with chorizo, jalapeños, red onions and pepperoni. Also ordered the salad bar and a pint of Stella Artois. Food was delicious. Everything was clean. Service was great. Lots of parking.

The "salad bar" of special/side items was a neat touch and from what I sampled there everything was good (potato salad, kimchi fried rice, glass noodles and some wonton type thing, sorry I'm not great at remembering the Korean names) For meats we mostly stuck to basics like brisket, which came out fresh every time. We also ventured out with some octopus, squid and shrimp- no complaints from those who tried. Pork belly wasn't my favorite although the pork jowls (which I'd never had before) were actually delicious. Everyone was a big fan of the noodle bowls- I'm not a big noodle guy so I stuck to meats. Service was attentive, friendly and quick to bring out your food. The robot cat servers are a fun and neat addition, just make sure you grab the food labeled for your table. I knock one star for 2 minor reasons- 1) I think some instruction on the robot server should happen, one table accidentally grabbed our food unknowingly. 2) the stainless steel water cups they brought us gave off a filmy or oily layer when filled with water- not sure what that was, maybe some leftover detergent. All in all, I'd consider coming back, the food was great and I really don't mind a soft drink.

The price is right at $20 for dinner and $10 for young elementary school aged children. I recommend the dinner menu because for a few dollars more than lunch, they add crab, beef ribs and black pepper steak cubes which are my favorite 3 higher end quality entrees that if anyone were to go to a standard restaurant, they'd pay a lot more for access to those courses.

I've continually told them My ranking is #1 Buffet at the top, followed by Ichiban, then China Buffet dipped as the lesser of the 3 ever since they stopped offering roast duck and snow crab legs (which had been over a decade ago) at their buffet. So, #1 Buffet has earned my favorite status based on price, selection and quality but factoring in parking and location too.

Food is warm not hot. Seafood is a bit more fishy than other buffets. The small letter-size price list is posted where it's not easy to see. Redeeming quality: Friendly employees and manager. I like that they have papaya in the fresh fruit section. Add that to my ice cream then top with chopped peanuts for a delicious dessert. Chinese music playing in the background along with the outdated interior makes me a bit nostalgic.

There is one expectation you have to set before coming though. There is only one man working the BBQ pit and running the meat all at once. So the service will be a little slower but chef works hard and is very friendly along with rest of the small staff. The meats are excellently seasoned and they absolutely nail the char plus whatever temp you want on the meats. We had Picanha, NY Strip, Ribeye, Skirt Steak, Tri-Tip, pork sausage, and pineapple. They also have a good selection on the self serve salad, sauce and side bar. So if you're okay with very casual and slow paced, this place is outstanding. We were very satisfied and got everything we wanted at the end. About $52 per person on a Sunday night. Worth it.

I enjoyed their food I just wished there was a little bit more side options at the salad bar. It was very minimal. I did not enjoy their cheese bread at all so If that's what you base a Brazilian spot on, don't come here. But if you're here for the meat.. their meat is good! The price is decent about $50 per person. And my favorite is the small coffee at the end.

All the sushi portions were small. about half the size of a normal sushi, which is fine as we get to sample everything. but it was hard to taste much as it was so small.

And then all the planets and timing aligned so perfectly that it finally came into fruition. Party of 4 (Hubbers, Big Bro, GodKid and I) walked in close to opening hour so we were seated immediately. It was all our first time here, so we told our host. She told us the meat is AYCE, so with the items in the salad bar. The hot sides they bring and serve to us in portions. (I thought this was clever because it helps minimize food waste and it's sanitary!) There weren't a lot of choices at the salad bar, but I thought it was plenty. Besides, I wasn't there for greens, I was there for meats! And they didn't disappoint. All the proteins were great: seasoning was perfect, portions were generous, but hands down, my favorite were both pikhanas (original and garlic.) We couldn't get enough of them. And the servers for both sides and skewers were awesome, they more than happy to oblige with requests. Oh, and that waffle Brazilian bread?!? Yummmm!!! The only thing missing (per Big Bro) was chimichurri sauce, "the missing link, and it might have made the whole thing closer to perfection." (It's funny he said that because Hubbers and I came back 5 days later to celebrate my GodMom's birthday and there the chimichurri was!) FOOD: 5. SERVICE: 5. VALUE: 5. Soooo worth it!!! PARKING: Private lot shared with others. Street also available. It can get busy. Plan ahead. OVERALL: 5. Visited twice in less than a week and both runs were great. I'm so happy there's one so near to home. I project Hubbers and I will be frequenting this place more often than we should! But I can't wait for the next visit!
