Wood Grill Buffet offers a pretty standard cafeteria-style buffet experience. It's about what you'd expect from this type of place--nothing particularly unique, but not bad either. It may not be for everyone, especially if you're looking for a more relaxed or upscale dining atmosphere. The environment can be busy and a bit hectic. Families move quickly through the dining area, and you'll likely be getting up often for food while navigating the usual buffet crowd. Service is minimal but efficient--staff clear plates quickly and check on drinks, but it's not a full-service experience. Some of the negative reviews seem to reflect expectations that don't quite match the concept. This is a self-seat, self-serve restaurant focused on volume rather than a high-end dining experience. If you go in with that understanding, it's a decent option for a quick, casual meal read more

03/15/26, Time 4:30 p.m. First-time coming here. Food rating 4/5 Dessert area presentation 0/5 Taste for Dessert 0/5, Waitress came to our table interrupted our meal while we were eating. I mentioned to the waitress she should complete and filled the napkin holder after her shift had ended. She mentioned that her shift was ending and she is leaving for today, and insisted to reach across our plates to grab and fill the napkin holder. I mentioned to the witness take the napkin holder to another table and complete her task go to an empty table. She grab the napkin holder and slammed it down. Restaurant smells like old people/bodies. Restaurant had an odor at the time we visit. Ventillation and circulation of fresh air is recommended . Food was hot and fresh. but Dessert area and presentation 0/5 First and last visit. read more

There was a horrible smell in this place. It was grimey and dirty feeling. When I got up to get food they left a nasty dirty wet rag hanging on seat of my booth. Hardly any of the food tasted decent. This was probably the worst place I've ever eaten besides the fish. The staff however, was very sweet. read more

Not the best, but it's not the worst. It's average. They have a variety of foods. Just about anything home cooking you're craving, they have. Flavors are like eating at a school or hospital cafeteria. The best things were the chicken tenders and the rolls. The cakes were kind of melty, but it was 10000 degrees outside and the dessert display is closer to the door. Service was great. Staff is very friendly. It's very casual and family dining. Not bad overall for a variety buffet. read more

Wood Grill is a great asset to Benton! Every time we go, we bring a big family and they are always accommodating and the buffet area is always clean and fresh! We love when Wood Grill caters events were at as well! They are very professional and the food is great! Don't sleep on the salad bar either! read more

Food was amazing, variety of options available. Waitresses were quick to service, the only downside is that the bathrooms are mentally uncomfortable, the door gaps in the stalls were unpleasant. Noise was fair. read more

Food was horrible, undercooked, overcooked, bland. Chicken strip was only edible item and I tried a bit of all of them. Instead of all you can eat....it was all you can do to eat it. Pricey for the bad food you get. Could have had a nice steak at a good restaurant. First and Last trip here. read more

Food is always hot and delicious Great variety of selections Always stop and enjoy a meal when passing through the area Fried Chicken is some of the best Nice and moist and crispy with the white meat and all the other selections are delicious as well read more

Food at Wood Grill buffet is amazing As with the service is also good. everything was good, and I love how it was a self-serve Buffet The ambience is good too. read more

Excellent! The food was fresh and cooked to perfection. The salad bar is huge. The desserts are many. Our waitress, Jennifer, made sure we had everything we needed. I'll definately go back!! read more

I give it 3.5 stars. Some things were good others not so much. Catfish and hush puppies were the best part. Kind of pricy for what you get too. They have the standard buffet items salad bar, main dishes, Mexican, and just random dishes oh and a dessert section. The fruit didt look fresh Side note the women's bathroom is tiny! read more

Not good at all. The food is to be desired and not very tasty. Need more flavor. Ambiance is basic.

Love this place and make a point to stop when I'm the area. Food is delicious, plenty of selection, leave full and there's even stuff the kiddo likes. #winning read more

The food was fresh and delicious! Both the shrimp and the catfish were perfectly cooked. The corn on the cob is often overcooked at other buffets...not here! Perfect! Hubby loved all the veggie choices! Servers were very attentive and friendly. A+++++ read more

Nice clean restaurant. The food was hot and plentiful. Lots of choices from home cooked type meats to all kinds of veggies. They even have catfish. The desert and salad bar were full of scrumptious cold veggies and lots of choices for the sweet tooth. Beat comfort food buffet around. read more

First, I need to explain that this is a Buffet, and I am not usually a fan of buffet style dinning, however this place is great. My Dads favorite place to go... when I say favorite? He eats there 5-7 days a week!! The staff and owners are top notch! Food is really good and they keep it coming even when it is slow. Friendly People and Great Food... Winner in my book read more

We went today for lunch and the food and service were amazing! Very helpful staff and very clean facilities. The selections were great- from sirloin steaks to chicken to fish and Mexican options, plus an enormous salad bar and dessert bar complete with cookies, pies, ice cream and cotton candy. The only area I saw that the management could improve were by adding additional registers and doing something to keep the tables and benches from sliding all over the place when people moved on or out of the booths. Other than that, this place was great. The steaks were seasoned well and they had no problem putting out some rare steaks when we asked. The burger sliders and mini hot dogs were big hits with the kids. I wanted to try the Mexican options but by the time I was done with the proteins and salad, there was no room left. My kids were ecstatic that they had a cotton candy maker and a chocolate fountain for marshmallows and strawberries. The price was good too- kids 3 and under eat free! For our family of 6, it was just over $60 which is extremely good considering everyone left with full tummies and big smiles! We will definitely come back! Good job to all! read more

Awesome re-do of the old Western Sizzlin. The food here has always been delicious and the quality and selection has gotten even better, if that is possible. Prices are still reasonable. Good place to eat. read more

It was amazing u have to go check this place out good food for the price n the staff is amazing also I will be going ova and ova again....

First time here today. Really good value. Huge selection , Good good, friendly service. We'll definitely return. Come hungry!

Went today for late lunch (2:00pm) place was filthy, especially the restrooms. Fried chicken was bad greasy, steak was ok. Meatloaf was tough with some nasty red gunk on it. How do you get a tough meatloaf? Bread pudding was dry. Not worth the $20.00 per person. read more

For my first time ever eating here I liked it for the most part. Food was really good except for a few thing like the Mac and cheese. It was not the greatest in my opinion. Waitress was amazing but the receptionist didn't really like her job. read more

This was a really pleasant surprise. They have a huge selection of food, and most of it was spot on. The only complaints were that the mashed potatoes and gravy were both salty, and no one should be subjected to their mac and cheese. Whoever is making that needs a new recipe. But everything else was really good. Give it a shot if you're in Benton, Arkansas! read more

We normally don't do buffets but by far the best one I have been to in a very very long time. Will go back everything was fresh and hot on a Sunday afternoon. read more

I had high hopes for this place as I did not care for Western Sizzlin. That slapped on a new coat of paint but I feel the good is the same as before. I will say the staff was friendly and attentive. They had a larger selection than before but it was cold and way to salty. Tasted like someone turned the salt shaker upside down on everything. I had meatloaf, roast beef, hamburger steak and catfish. All salty. The desserts were ok but not worth the price. read more

Good place for a quick dinner- nice, clean, fast service. The manager was very helpful when I asked questions about menu items containing egg (daughter is allergic) and they have that good ranch ‍ read more

Honestly, the Wood Grill Buffet had a enormous amount of food and a great selection of favorites to eat. How ever the grill meat did have high quantities of salt. But I eat my fill and would not mind returning. read more

Our first time here. Was very surprised. Food and service was very good. Jennifer took care of our table and made the whole experience a lot of fun. Food was plentiful, fresh and good. read more

They have a lot of choices but the quality is very low. Service is adequate. Fish was undercooked. Steak lacked flavor and was tough

DARK GREENS lovers, they have so much spinach and leafy greens you could go home stuffed from it alone. Very complete huge salad bar. Chicken salad is actually savory, no sugar on it!!! So it's the tuna salad!!!!! For the Keto crowd, there's plenty of meat without sugar. For everybody else there's lots of ice cream and desserts. Overall, things were really well done and FRESH!!! The sweet hospitality of the waitresses would make me come here even if the food was bad!!!!!hahahahaha.......cheers read more

Decent food. Lots of choices. I love the huge salad bar and all the amounts of desserts they have.

I was very disappointed when Western Sizzlin closed its doors. I was, however, also very pleased to learn that the Woodgrill Buffet would be taking its place. I was eager to try it, so my wife and I went to lunch one afternoon. We really liked how they had remodeled the inside and had taken the very distracting TVs out of the booths. We were pleased with the good variety on the buffet. The food was good - your basic buffet food - not home-cooked quality, but good. The prices are a bit high, in my opinion - $9.99 lunch, $12.99 weekday supper, $13.99 weekends. I couldn't see anything to justify the extra dollar on the weekends, so that was disappointing. The service is very good, and the place is clean and neat. The buffet was always well/stocked and the hot foods were hot and the cold foods were cold. We'll visit occasionally for lunch. Supper, for us, is not a good value. Weekends are definitely out of the question for us. read more

Great quality food at a reasonable price. Huge selection of food on the buffet. So many we could not try everything so will have to go back. Service was outstanding with refills on drinks coming even before we were empty. Newly remodeled and looks great. read more
