Grand Buffet

Food was ok. i was disappointed there was not any vegetable options on the buffet. When i go to s buffet, i like the veggies the best and they just dont have it.

This place is yummy! I’ve had one subpar dish. The buffet is great good selection. They have sushi, although I love sushi I can’t bring myself to eat buffet sushi. If you go during the week they have a «happy hour» between 3 – 5 pm I believe. The entire meal plus drink is under $ 7

Great place for lunch and dinner. Food is always fresh for a buffet. Very clean. Staff is great might be my kids favorite place to eat.

Terrible. Just go to Charlie’s Mongolian Grill in Evansville. Remember that you get what you pay for.

We enjoy this place once a week! We love it. Although I’m not a huge chinese food fan, there are plenty of alternatives for the rest of us. My wife is from the Philippines and she loves the Mongolian grill and soups. I always find the food hot and tasty.

We stopped here on our way to Tennessee. Very good service and great food. Would recommend to travelers and/​or locals.

This place is amazing. By far the best Chinese buffet I have been to.
It’s $ 8, quick and easy, and has any type of food you want.
The sushi bar is excellent, it’s on par with an average quality sushi restaurant, except that it’s all you can eat.
They have good brisket, potatoes and other American style foods.
They obviously have a bunch of options for Chinese food, which tbh, wasn’t as good as I would have hoped. But it it’s still on par.
There is a Mongolian barbeque section where you choose raw ingredients and have a chef fry them up, which is great.
Desserts are great, salad bar is decent etc.
Overall, you just can’t beat this place.
Go. Now.

This is my favorite Chinese buffet in Evansville. I love that they have the Mongolian grill and sushi as part of the buffet. In my opinion, for a buffet, the sushi is so good. I love to get the Mongolian with the brown sauce.

Meh. I went to Grand Buffet based on Unilocal!reviews. I found it to be, well, meh. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t that great either. The best thing I had was their crab rangoon. Everything else tasted a little bland for me. The restaurant itself was very clean and my server was attentive. I would bump this place up to 4 stars if the food quality improved. If you are hungry, not too picky about quality, and have $ 5.99 to spend, then this is your place.

Showed up here right at 11 for lunch during the week. 5.99. Lots of buffet tables to pick from although you’ll quickly see most are dedicated to salads, fruits, desserts and other cold items. Only one table with the «classics”– most not that great. Chicken on a stick, pepper chicken, and teriyaki chicken are good. Sushi is limited to fishless rolls with lots of cream cheese. Stick with the California roll – pretty predictable. Highlight of the whole place is definitely the mongolian grill. Two tables of protein and veggies to load your plate with. Take it to the grill chef and a few mins later you’ll have a steaming plate of fresh eats.

Its been a few months since I wrote my original review so I thought I’d give it an update.
First, a little about the reviewer…
As a general rule, I hate buffets. So when I say I like the Grand Buffet, that’s saying a lot. I like the concept of being able to sample a variety of foods at a fixed low price, but I cannot stand the experience. When you get in line to select your dishes it feels like you’re lining up at the trough. That’s because typical buffet clientele in Evansville is overwhelmingly low-​class, morbidly obese, and has no common sense for how you should act at a buffet. Its hard to enjoy the dining experience when the couple next to you each has plates stacked 6 inches high with leaning towers of crawfish. Also, if it takes the Mongolian Chef multiple plates to present your creation, you shouldn’t have piled on 5 pounds of raw food for him. If you are hungry, that’s fine. But why does everyone keep creating obnoxious heaping plates when they can go back in line as much as they please? Again, just saying I don’t like how people are at buffets in general. But even with these drawbacks that haunt all local buffets, this one is worth the trip.
Lately the Grand Buffet has been pushing hard to lure in new customers. I’m constantly seeing them pop up in coupons and they lowered the standard price of the buffet in August. Right now its $ 5.99 for a lunch and $ 7.99 for a dinner. At these prices you’re getting a lot for your money. The soups and Mongolian Grill are both very good. The selection for the Mongolian Grill is the best in town. The chef takes more time cooking each dish than the one at Crazy Buffet. He seems more interested in quality than speed, which is fine by me. Grand Buffet also offer quite a few fresh fruits. A simple selection of sushi is included with the buffet at no extra cost. Service is always friendly, but sometimes they let the empty plates sit at your table too long.
Pros:
*Everyday low price
*Good selection of ingredients on the Mongolian Grill
*Sushi is included with the buffet at no extra cost
*Plenty of fresh fruit
*Decent American dishes… loved the Mac ‘n cheese!
Cons:
*Some ingredients are still frozen when they are placed on the Mongolian Grill line
*Lacking a good bourbon chicken & honey chicken dish
*Sushi selections are very simple and they never change
*Teriyaki chicken used to be good, but the last few times its been swimming in a pool of watery broth that had a strong onion flavor.
What would need to change to earn a 5 star review from me:
*Make sure the shrimp, beef, and pork are thawed before being placed on the Mongolian Grill line. When its frozen you taste the difference.
*Add a selection of candy toppings to the ice cream station
*Fix the teriyaki chicken! It used to be amazing!
Overall:
A hit! You can find some higher quality food elsewhere, but you get a lot for your money here. Friendly staff. Great value.
