So...I have avoided coming to this place since I tend to not like buffets anymore unless I'm brunching in Vegas. I went here as my friend pleaded that for urgent hunger pains this is the place to go. Well I've tried it and I must say...looks can be deceiving. The decor is old cafeteria style, and very clean. The service are nice, respectful, and unlike any other place, they do not feel entitled to tips (though I tipped highly). The food selection was smaller than Golden Corral. However due to the lack of random screaming children touching everything , and the ability to have select foods only, the food here was twice as good as Golden Corral. Don't get me wrong, some stuff was still stale. But overall it was a great place. Salad Bar Everything good Only room for improvement is the mismatch temperatures between pasta salads and lettuce e Chicken- delicious and perfectly seasoned Spaghetti- I'd eat another bow 3.) Catfish- not bad 4.) steak- very good 5.) pot road-delicious menudo- yeah it was fine Chicken and rice soup- good Desserts All of them were good especially the red cake, and peach cobbler. For $12 it really is worth it, You tel me your experience.... read more

I love to eat here! The food is tasty and the people are great! My only problem is that I tend to lose my self-control and go back for "just another little taste" and end up waddling back out to the car, but with a smile on my face! read more

The food was typical buffet style food, it v was good for buffet. The service was great and they were very friendly. The place itself was kind of empty just ok, so didn't really match the price they had. I feel it's overpriced. read more

Overpriced...overcooked...under-seasoned...underwhelming. This has to be the most disappointing buffet-style restaurant that we've gone to in quite a while. The waitress was right on top of things, which is the only reason for two stars instead of one. The food was less than spectacular from start to finish. Almost everything had been cooking or sitting too long. The flavors were "off" on several dishes, and paying $40 (with tip) for two of us seemed way overpriced for what we got. We went to the Sirloin Stockade in Round Rock several years ago, and I remember it as being SO much better. It's hard to fathom how this location has stayed in business. Not recommended. read more

Was just like I remembered as a kid. Cashier was a bit rude but the waitress was nice.

I haven't been to a steak and buffet type of place in years. It was a hidden gem when I was driving through Taylor Texas. Happened to be in town for a doctors appointment. Food was great and people were kind. My waitress was wonderful. read more

My husband and I ate Thanksgiving dinner today at Sirloin Stockade and the meal was very good, it reminded us of our Mother's Thanksgiving dinners. Our waitress was really good and Karen was making sure everyone was getting seated in timely matter. Thank You Karen. Franklin and Connie Schramm read more

It's a hit and miss. Not that much choice for gluten free. The salad bar is okay. But the staff is fabulous. Super kind! read more

Cafeteria type, food isn't great but not bad either.....just ok, the service is really good, wait staff is friendly .

When you pay over $10 for buffet it should be 100%worth it, there is not to much of anything on the buffet that was really worth the price! The entrees were dry tasteless a week old tough or the flip side someone got in a hurry and didn't cook the chicken all the way, the salad the deeper you dig the worse it was, the desserts were stale dried out tasteless, the sodas were watered down, the only absolute plus to it was the rolls were fresh and the butter was a welcome tribute, other than that it was not much. I know that after a period of time it gets hard to keep people from getting complacent but that's when I think that the manager should take it upon themselves and sample what is leaving the kitchen, there is no way to say that wilted vegetables are presentable when it can be seen from with the customers eyes that it truly time to change the veggies, if a restaurant is putting out subpar quality products that is because the manager isn't doing their job period. Taylor Tx has a real problem with the restaurants in their city and for me to spend my money on the food in this town it truly has to get a lot better!!! read more

The chicken you get there is ok the other food is good the good thing is that they removed the chocolate fountain

The first time we visited, the food was okay and all the selections were available. The second time, only a few weeks ago, the food wasn't good and the service was slow. It took a long time to get drink refills and the buffet remained out of several items for the entire time we were there. The chicken was overcooked or something, because it was very tough and difficult to eat. read more

My first visit here for a meeting. The server who was assigned to us did an outstanding job. All the staff was friendly and very helpful. Food was great.. steaks were cooked to order and everything looked fresh. Buffet was clean and well stocked and salads looked fresh. I have to say I enjoyed my time there for my meeting.. will have to come back.. also it was a lot of food I took home for the to go menus.. read more

Food quality has gone down this past year n a half. We would go weekly or every other week and now we only go maybe 4 times a year. Dried out food or over cooked mushy, change in product quality they cook with and cooks who are not consistent with recipes. read more

I can only give 4 stars to a buffet restaurant, because, well.. its a BUFFET restaurant. The service was excellent, the price can't be beat, and they had the HUGEST strawberries I've ever seen. Don't ask what I was doing waay out in Taylor Texas - it is a long story. Suffice to say that one of the locals recommended the Sirloin Stockade and I took him up on his recommendation. I was glad I stopped in and set a spell if you know what I mean.. read more

See all

wrapping stuff on the cupcake is practically glued on very basic food no varaty of food my school food is a five star restaurant compared to place. read more

I really like it here. The food is good and you have many choices. The only thing I would say is go early and do lunch. The food definitely isn't as good in the evening. I think they cook too much for lunch and it sits out for dinner. I know they keep the rolls all day. They are like rocks on the bottom by late afternoon. read more

One of the worst buffets I have gone to. The service was alright,but the food really blows. The chicken was really chewy and didn't have a good taste, also the meatloaf was nasty there is really no way I can really describe it. The sausage was horribly cut, and the pizza was burnt from the crust. Dessert didn't even help with getting my rating up, and the ice cream machine wasn't working so really didn't help with getting the horrible taste the meatloaf out of my mouth. Don't waist your money and time going to this place. read more

I keep telling myself this is the last time Im going to eat here. But, I cant keep away. For 10 bucks you get the buffet, it's very country but the quality is usually really good. The service is good and the food bars are always clean. I would like to see a bit more variety of foods, but they have some great standards that you can always rely on. read more

When I was a kid, we raised hogs to slaughter for ourselves. Kind of reminds me of that. We call it "Hog and Trough" Style. They fill up the trough, and people of all makes and sizes run to it, some sneezing, some wiping their noses, some pulling out big 'ol handkerchiefs andd wiping and then stickin them back in their pocket, and oh yeah, the 7 year olds that cough and sneeze and stick their hands in and lick their hands and drop the ladles right in the middle of the portions. I think you get the idea. But if it's all the dough you got, and you need a hog size portion, then head on down. Let's face it. What quality raw food do you think a restaurant has to start with to sell you all you can eat for ten bucks? Let's just say, it ain't gor'may! LOL and remember, no horse du vers. read more

Why do I go here again? I have been here at least 4 times now, and each time I am unsatisfied with the meal as a whole. Nothing is great and the taste is sub par, but something brings me back. I think its the fact that I can go there and for about 9 dollars eat as much steak as I can handle. Back in college our cafeteria had grade f beef, at least that's what we were told. It was the worst beef you can imagine, and this place has much better beef than that. So i guess its OK when thinking about all the steaks I have ever eaten. For as bad as I and others make it out to be, it does at least offer quite a bit as a buffet goes, there is a salad bar, that is usually very fresh, many dressing. Also there are at least 4 soups, and plenty of breads to chose from. The hot food area has many types of meat to eat, fried chicken, fired fish, hush puppies, fires, mashed potatoes and gravy. Then the steaks, I am not sure what Cut it is they serve, but its meaty and works, you can ask for it any way you like but will probably get it how it is. There is also some decent sausage that comes off teh grill and chicken. Give it a try if you want a cheapo buffet, but don't expect the best you have ever had. read more

BIG EATERS - Buffet is great. The all you can eat has a great variety. I love the salad bar, and miss the lemon bars when they are out. Steak is about a 3 - but then you are not in a high class steak place. So -- Tuesdays the steak is on the buffet. IF YOU DO NOT EAT LOT - My husband has health issues and eats very little. When we go to S. Stockade I get his meal in a take out styro and am charged by the ounce. He usually is filled with bake chicken - mashed with gravy - and one veggie. Drink and some times a small pudding. This works for us. I HATE GONG PLACES WHERE THEY DO NOT OFF AN OPTION FOR SMALL EATERS. I often ask if they will let him eat for a childs rate - sometimes they say yes and that works also. To pay full price is not good for him. They are accommodating here - Great friendly wait staff, clean place, and I love the flavor lemonade. All you can drink too -- read more

Very clean restaurant. I was impressed by how they kept bringing more fresh food out. The food was typical for a buffet.

We didn't expect this to be a buffet! I was cool with it though! My husband wanted a chicken fried steak. Which was cool, they also had a little menu you could order other things that weren't the buffet. So either you can order or do the buffet. Or both if your that hungry. So I got the buffet! I always feel like I'm in heaven at a salad bar! So that's the first thing I always go for! Then I went and checked out the rest after I ate my salad! Hummm that's a good way to do it, so you don't go crazy on all the really bad stuff right? So I got the cold pizza! I didn't like it, then I just pretty much decided just to do the fried chicken, catfish and hushpuppies! And that was a winner! The seasonings were just like home! After that I grabbed a cookie, and checked out the peach cobbler....I only wanted the crust though! Now I'm full and ready to go to bed! read more

I'm not really sure what all can be said about this other than its what you would expect from a buffet... They had some good meat choices, fresh fruit and several good desserts. There were also several items that had bren sitting for awhile. Kids under 3 eat for free, which definitely helps when you're dining on a budget. Make sure to pay attention to your bill. Outside the buffet was advertised with free drinks and we were charged about $5 extra because the cashier (and my husband!) were unaware. read more

If you like reasonably priced buffets with a good, solid selection of food, this is a good place to go in Taylor, TX. If you like pot roast, their's is probably the best you'll find at any buffet. Their green beans are always good, as is their broiled fish is if it hasn't been sitting on the bar too long, and they always have a tasty artisan bread. Their salads are always fresh, and they have a good selection of fresh vegetables, or prepared salads if you prefer those. It's a standard buffet decor and ambience, but if you're all about the food, and surroundings aren't a concern, this is a good place to bring the family while in Taylor. read more

You walk in and order at a cashier. Order a steak or choose the hot buffet, salad and soup bar. Pick your own seat and your steak is brought out to you. Immediately head to the salad bar or Buffett if you did not order a steak. On the buffet they have hot foods as well as beef and ham sliced for you. A baked potato bar with real bacon bits and 2 soups. Also a bakery and yogurt machine. read more

Somebody told the wife and i to try it, so we did ! That will never happen again, itried the meatloaf, or whatever that was, not meatloaf thats for sure, the chicken taste like something KFC threw away, as far as the deserts go, we didnt even finish the small portion we had, some places just dont take any pride in what they do anymore ! Ill stick with golden corral as far as buffets go ! read more

Finally hit this place after passing it for years. Haven't been to one since I was a little kid in the KCKS area. For those on the fence, it's worth the visit. The place has a standing menu AND a standing buffet. The starvin' marvins in us went for the buffet, and I have to say it was pretty decent! The food was hot...fish filet, baked chicken, and some other items I wolfed down. I even had a salad, which was better-than-average. The place was clean (including the restroom) and the usual turn-off's were not readily apparent because staff patrolled the buffet regularly (Like seeing the handle of the tongs laying in the food itself...I really hate it when people do that...philistines!) Anyhow, if you want to eat yourself into oblivion and waddle back to your vehicle, then this is a Jackpot! read more

Now, before you go all crazy and say, "why did you give it one star," it's because of breakfast. If you get there when the doors open and have breakfast it's a good strong 3. However, we dined there on a Thursday night, everything on the buffet tasted like frozen leftovers from Thanksgiving that were being served on New Year's Eve. 1. Most of what was out there wasn't stale. 2. It was pretty much all cold. 3. Regular menus weren't being used as the meatloaf looked like Prison slop, 80% bread, with some kind of Mexican flair for the sauce. 4. I could have broken a window with the "yeast rolls" that were out on the bar. After 2 tries of receiving Steak so well done that a Pitbull couldn't chew it, (requested it medium rare), we gave up and left. They win, hands down. You have been warned. Can't do anymore than that. read more

Went in here a few months ago with my boyfriend and son. First off go to meat station and asked for a medium well and it was actually very well done almost to the point of being burnt. I decide to try it anyways and it was as tough as a leather strap about as flavorless too might I add. Potatoes we're ice cold. Rolls we're hard and cold. My boyfriend and son experienced similar issues so I won't even get into their experiences. Needless to say I won't be returning. read more

Have frequented this place over a period of several years now, driving from Elgin some 20 miles away...and over the years it seems to have gotten worse. Went there yesterday and that will be the last time! The veggies (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots) were all unseasoned with absolutely no taste. (Apparently they just get boiled in water and that's it.) The fish was over cooked and dry, the roast stringy, the sausage...well, not even close to what's available in Elgin. The buffet offers cheap fare, and it tastes like it. Too bad. read more

Have eaten here several times. Lot's of different foods and I always get the All-You-Can-Eat. Price is okay if you don't order a drink(just water). Gets too high if you order a soda. Some of their food is not very good and some of it is very good. Just gotta go and figure out what you like. Waitresses are mixed~ some do a good job and others don't~ read more

I have eaten here about 6 times now. The food is fresh and tasty. Selection may not be as robust as other buffets, but what they do have is tastier. Just because it's all you can eat, doesn't mean you have to gorge yourself. I don't have much time for lunch; Sirloin Stockade is perfect for me because it's faster than a traditional restaurant and healthier than fast food. read more

consistently good food, especially the pot roast! gets very busy on the weekends but they keep the good fresh and it's clean. This location is far superior to others we've been to, but it's new so time will tell. read more

Food was good for the most part. At least what I chose to put on my plate. Some of the food however was dried out and ready for the trash. It was 5:00 pm when I ate here so maybe it was early. The service at the table was good. Two women were there with about 4-5 kids. They sat and visited with each other while ignoring the children, who were running around the place jumping on booth seats, climbing on tables and nothing was said by the women/parent or manager for at least half an hour. One of the children ran around the booths playing tag with another child and nearly knock down a man with a cane. We were a nervous wreak while trying to eat our dinner. The rest room was one of the filthiest I have ever seen in a restaurant and in fact decided I could wait until we made it home. I would look for another place to eat in the future! read more

Never disappoints! Food is always fresh and the service friendly. Steaks aren't my thing but if you like they have them all you can eat after a certain time. Salad bar is good though. The house dressing is amazing in love it. read more

Well it doesn't suck..... That is the farthest I will go for a complement for this place. I've been here with my father because he's 75 and to people of that age a buffet is a genius idea. But it's not great, and I can't, in good conscience, let this place have the highest rating in town. I mean it's probably better than Applebees, but that's not really a badge of honor. There's several choices here in town that put both to shame. read more

While the salad bar was quite good, the hot line buffet was not. The table next to us waited WAY TOO LONG for their custom cooked steak. If we return, I will order soup and salad only. read more

This was the best football meal we have ever had Paul and Robert you guys and team did a great job!!!!! The players are very very happy with their meals.... way to go and thank you for Fredericksburg, Texas read more
