Each week offers a rotating menu of various main dishes, side dishes with a huge salad bar, sushi counter and BBQ and grilled meats and fish. A nice selection of breads, tasty crescent rolls and a large assortment of tempting desserts. They also stock their salad bar with a large number of selections from the garden. My friends and I visited Buffet City at lunchtime and found the buffet overflowing with barbecue ribs, grilled shrimp and chicken on a stick - all falling off the bone, tender and delicious.
