The Yummiest Buffets in Tampa

Gateway To India

★★★★☆ 4.2 (493) • $$

"This may have been my first time having Indian food in Tampa Bay? My friend steered this one because he loves Gateway to India and he ordered us the butter chicken, chicken tandoori, and some garlic naan. BIG fan of the tandoori, and I really liked the butter chicken as well. Zero complaints, I loved every minute of this dinner!"

Fred's Market

★★★★☆ 4.1 (307) • $$

"I've been searching for some really good southern food in central Florida and I've finally found it. Fred's is delicious and inexpensive. They even have a rewards program. We've tried breakfast and lunch and both we equally delicious. In addition to the food, they also serve up some southern hospitality as well. The team is so nice, it's basically like Sunday dinner at my grandma's house."

Asian Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (261) • $$

"Food was delicious, and no wait time! Drinks also came quick. Ceiling is painted like a sky and the highlight of the restaurant is the cherry blossom tree in the middle of the buffet section. Would recommended hibachi noodles and beef with garlic sauce."

Kyoto Palace

★★★★☆ 3.7 (84) • $$

"I do not understand some of these negative reviews of this place. My wife and I were in plant City and stopped in for lunch. The staff was so friendly and nice. The service was awesome. The food was delicious fresh and hot. We used to go to a buffet in Apollo Beach. Will you not go anymore because of the service and the food went so far downhill. Next time we're in plant City we would definitely be stopping in here. When I cleanest nicest restaurants I've been in a while. This is outstanding buffet and you definitely should try it."

City Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (127) • $$

"My family loves Chinese buffets and have been to almost every one from New Port Richey to Naples and Clearwater to Orlando and Daytona. No matter which ones we try, this one is still the BEST of them all. We come here at least 2-3 times a month, and everybody we've ever invited raves about it. Always busy so the food is always fresh, and their hibachi is great. I love this place!"

Grand Sushi Hibachi Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3 (97) • $

"We've been coming here for years with no major issues. Food is rotated often, service is friendly, and there is good selection of items to choose from. They also play some really upbeat music from time to time, which makes me feel like I'm at a party. My only gripe is that the sushi is not consistent. Sometimes they have nigiri--sometimes they don't. It can be disappointing. But with so many other foods to choose from, you'll never walk away from here hungry. I absolutely love their green tea ice cream for dessert. It's the only place I've had it from locally other than the grocery store. As long as they stay this good, I'll be coming here for years to come."

Eagle Lake Family Diner

★★★★☆ 4.3 (41) • $$

"5 stars for a greasy spoon diner with an easy going atmosphere. Friendly service and great food! I've only been here for breakfast so I can't speak to any other meal but it's become a tradition for my family to eat here when I come into town from Tennessee. I recommend the grits, toast and eggs! I've had the fired potatoes a few times but in my opinion they need a little more flavor or seasoning. The pancakes are so good I don't even use syrup-I know, I'm weird. But seriously try a bite with just butter! Mmmmm! Bottom line is this place is a jewel! If you're in Polk County it's worth the trip!"

Asian Fusion Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (116) • $$

"After reading several negative reviews, and only living a few miles south, I decided to give this place a try, and I'm glad I did. To start off, the restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly and the buffet was fully stocked with fresh food. Hands down one of the best Asian Buffers we've been to in Central Florida. It was a little pricey, but walked away knowing I would return!"

Curry Leaves

★★★★★ 4.7 (30)

"THANK YOU Curry Leaves for finding your way to Lakeland! How did you know we were in desperate need of another good Indian spot?!But really, there have been at least 2 Indian restaurants in Lakeland that have closed the past few years- I only know of one other still nearby. As someone who lovessss this type of food it was so sad. So thank goodness Curry Leaves decided to move here! If I remember right, they were in the Brandon area before and then came here.When you first come to Curry Leaves, don't mind that it's connected to a Quality Inn. This couldn't be more of an oxymoron as the restaurant itself is super nice, clean and honestly even a little fancy. It elevates the Quality Inn, if anything. This is on my top list of Indian places I've been to- and that's saying a lot because I've tried a lot of Indian places. Even a family member of mine who hasn't liked this kind of food preciously enjoyed what she had here.They cook the lamb just right so it's soft and juicy. The naan is thick but cooked through and they even have a naan that has coconut flakes baked inside that's surprisingly good.On the weekends they have a buffet that I am definitely going to come try at some point. I have thoroughly loved everything I've had here. They do even have a full bar here too, and they serve Indian beer which my friend and I were very curious about. Highly highly recommend!"

Hibachi Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (77) • $$

"This place is one of my favorite because it's all you can eat and there's a wide selection of great tasting chinese foods.i would highly recommend to all."

Top's China Buffet

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (92) • $$

"I came with my parents on a weeknight to enjoy some seafood. I can't say that I was blown away by anything. The only thing good was their Hibachi in the back. Everything else seemed pretty half-assed. Service was ok and the place was clean. The fried shrimp was not cleaned or peeled so it wasn't even worth the efforts to try to eat it. Same with the crab. The crab/crab legs were so small, and for some reason they fried it. It was basically fried shell. There was barely any meat in it and what you could find in the body of it was pretty awful. Sushi was decent. We didn't have any chicken or beef so I can't speak on how good or bad those are. I did like their mussels but those are pretty hard to screw up. I would not come back here though."

Royal Sushi Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (55)

"Big surprise. Tried this for the first time and really liked everything I ate. Doesn't look like much from the parking lot. It's tucked away behind Chili's. I've lived in the area for almost a year and never noticed it. Light and bright inside and clean. All the usual dishes but done well and hot. The boiled shrimp and fried chicken were top notch. Glad we tried it. Will be back soon."

La Punta Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (22)

"This place only has one year running and do it well Food is very good ! waitress works so friendly. They have live music week end the price is average"

DosaHut

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (10)

"Flavorless food, bad ambience. Not sure if it was a bad day or food is like this on daily basis. We had to leave half of the food we ordered. Hope they improve soon."
