Cook's Buffet Cafe and Bakery

I finally had an opportunity to dine at cooks and it was a great experience!The restaurant is gorgeous inside and out. We loved all the greenery outside, the multiple country-cozy sitting areas inside.Nancy and I ordered the Lunch Buffet which comes to $12.99 each and my mom ordered the same thing but added coffee and dessert to the meal bringing the price up to $18.99, which is still worth it, considering the amount of food you get and size of dessert provided (enough for the three of us to share). The buffet comes with one choice of meat and unlimited entree sides and salad. Soup and additional meat sides cost more, I think $5 for meat and .99 cents for a soup with full buffet. The amount of meat you receive at the carving station depends on how much the chef provides you and they don't weight it out. The one thing they could do to make this better is actually weigh it out to show the customers all portions are the same.The food was all very good but when we arrived they were out of carrots and brussel sprouts. Halfway through our meal they refilled these items. I chose the leg of lamb which was very tender, delicious, and had a lot of flavor. The chef was nice enough to slice my portion of meat right off of a fresh leg just out of the oven. Thank you Chef!! I was also able to sample my wife's pulled pork and my mom's roast beef. These two meats were also very good, but if I were to go back again I would definitely order the lamb, I didn't even need a knife to eat it because it was so tender. They also had turkey roasts, and baked fish to choose from, which also looked delicious.Our server Taylor was very nice and took good care of us the duration of our meals. Taylor also refilled our bread basket and water glasses as needed.The restaurant and restroom was very clean and I definitely will return next time I'm in the area. All in all it was a great experience and I recommend dining here if you're in the area and looking for a great meal in a beautiful setting.

We decided to go to this restaurant on a weekday for early dinner at the suggestion of one of my older coworkers.I will say the service was decent. We were set almost immediately and they did get busy. It's set up Buffy style, but it's like you get one plate and that's it. This restaurant is definitely for the older generation who eat life. With that said a few things I would suggest would be definitely to improve the salad bar by washing the lettuces and drying them I pointed out to the waiter that the lettuce wasn't fresh and it was dirty and she got slightly offended

Love Cooks.We came here for lunch November 2024. Price for the buffet was $13. You get unlimited salad unlimited cooked vegetables. One meat.Meal is also served with fresh hot bread.You can get extra meat or a dessert for $5 more. Never had a bad meal here. The restaurant fills up quickly so get here early or later in the afternoon We came at 2:00 p.m. and it was not crowded at all on a Wednesday. Close to downtown DeLand and shopping.

I went with a group of friends. I approached the buffet and the roast beef looked awesome medium rare I asked for and that's exactly what I got sliced thin tender, juicy delicious. I had mashed potatoes gravy, beets. Everything was yummy. Service was good. We ordered drinks. Everything came promptly Would go back in a minute. I wish it was open today, but it's Monday and they closed.

A restaurant built into an older home, that serves endless salads, and sides! You get a choice of one protein, with a dinner that costs $19.99. The choices of protiens can range from: Lamb, grilled or fried chicken, pot roast, and specials that can include prime rib, or lamb pot pie! You can't have a buffet, without dessert right? A choice of desserts are available too, such as chocolate silk pie, coconut cream pie, banana pudding g, and much more! My personal knock on the is place, is that for a second serving of protien, you'd have to pay extra. Other than that, the overall experience was nice, the resteraunt feels homey, and the service is friendly. I do advise to come at a good time, because this place gets BUSY!Review 5/2024

If your in the area then this is the place to go for lunch. I haven't tried dinner time but the lunch is awesome. Easily the best salad bar I've had in a long time.

Yummy this place is so adorable like a doll house. The staff is super friendly and helpful. It's a Buffett you go up one time for the meat and unlimited veggies. If you want another plate of meat you tell your waitress and for a small fee she gets it for you. They bring you bread and butter for the table. We both liked everything we. We both ate roast beef and the veggies and coconut cream pie for dessert. It's like you ate at your mom's kind of food not fancy but nice and very tasty. We will be back.

Amazing food. Awesome salad bar. All food was great! Awesome salad bar. Thanksgiving dinner while on vacation in Florida

The food is really plain and not very tasty. They limit the quality of food you can have for sure and I'm just an average eater but if you don't like one particular thing, you can't like get more of another part of something they dish out the buffet part Limit visit to the buffet and they get desserts from Costco. They told me that and I saw that when I went to Costco I don't think it's very good food. It's pretty blah. The service was good but it's way overpriced and I would not call it a buffet they dish the food out and they limit how much you get and what categories.

Second time to review. Even better this time. Had the pork loin with sauerkraut. Was wonderful. Veggies were green beans, beets, sweet potato, collards. All good. Salad bar had a nice offering. Warm bread brought to table. Husband had key lime pie which was good. I had jello as I like the mix of old recipes in the jello. Can't wait to go back for pork loin. Husband had the beef. Also offered fish, Turkey, lamb. Only get one choice , one time. But nice servings. Everything else is all you want.
