Reviews of Brian's Buffet (Restaurant)

emily Thomas

It's got great prices and good food. Just some times, the food can be very bland, under done or over done. Have a nice section of desserts.

Brenda Maddox

Great choice of food. Mostly southern style food. On Fridays they have seafood with crab legs bunches at 4.99 a bunch.

Sharron Bartley

Love this place the staff is so friendly. My family loves to eat at Brian's Buffet in Griffin we drive from Fayetteville to eat here when I go visit my family...

Bob Green

about the same price as Golden Corral. I went for lunch. food was not nearly as good ; and the selection not nearly as large. I live about 4 miles further from Golden Corral than Brian’s. rather drive the extra 8 mile round trip, any day!

Toni Ussery

Very nice lunch.

Ashley Blankinship

Good food. Even my picky son ate their food. I am happy with the waitresses there too..

s b

The kids had fun 1.99 for kids on Thursdays it's a dollar to jump in the blow up jumper-- they love kids night. Food is good and not overpriced.

darlene madaris

It was awful. The cashier was rude as hell. I experienced reverse racism for the first time. We were seated and had went and got our food....in the meantime 2 tables came and sat down...the waitress rushed to wait on them.... after that a good 15 minutes she served us both half a cup of cold old coffee that 4 creamers would not even darken...food was nasty.

Lori Eddy

Great food and service love the jag

Terry Raybon

Good place to eat enjoy it

Blake Townsend

Great buffet. All kinds of stuff offered there. We have only been there for breakfast but we love it. Have the chef make you an omelette, their outstanding!!!

Alex Caelin

A bit overpriced for a lunch meal, and a low selection too. Walked in, pay up front, and enjoy a Christian religious sermon over the radio/country music. The little food possible was decent. If you like Mac and Cheese and Christian music, this place is for you. Anything else? Find another place.

Diana Gray

Off the bat our server was wonderful but it was downhill from there. My water had brown floaties in it. I could deal, get a new glass of water. I was excited when I could have a steak grilled to my specifications but it was the worst cut of the fattiness piece of meat I had ever seen. Props to the grill master for making it edible. Meatloaf was decent, veggies were decent but what killed me was when I bit into my freshly brought out piece of fried chicken....raw thru and thru. We tipped the waiter cuz he tried but will never go

Vince Lococo

They advertise senior discount but they have never granted it yet. It is Fathers Day or steak nite or the second Tuesday after the third Sunday. Good food alright service but the price HAS never been the same as advertised.

Betty McGruder

GREAT FOOD I ENJOY MYSELF TODAY THANK YOU FOR GREAT SERVICE.

Tim Thomas

Good food it reminds me of golden coral just a little smaller

Jeffrey Pearson

The food is great here & the service is awesome. But today it is June the 18th 2019 The glass of tea they give me after I had drank it I noticed the glass was dirty that was gross and disgusting. They need to be better at cleaning their dishes...........

TAMMY Norton

Our server Darlene was great as always ,but the food was awful . Why did you change the rolls? Those new hockey pucks were gross.

Tommy Bolton

Great food, and even better service! I love going here!

christy costley

Went in early afternoon food was mainly cold when supposed to have been hot

Patricia Schieppe

It's okay but rather pricey for an average buffet. Many items were overdone. Service was great.

Tiffany Rodgers

Food was great, service was even better. We came in about 30 minutes before closing and they let us stay as long as we wanted.

Scott Netherton

Food was great fresh and hot

Chasmodai 21

Yummy and cheap a big win win

Michelle Morse

I read all these great reviews so I decided to try it for breakfast. We got there at 10 and they were already out of a lot of the breakfast food and switching it out for lunch. Food was not good, Mediocre at best. The sausage links were raw on the inside. Everything just tasted plain. I got the “hot fudge” cake, which was a dry chocolate cake with chocolate syrup on it not hot fudge. Same price as Golden Corral but not the same quality.

Phyllis allen

My husband and I came on a Tuesday about 12:15. Lunch was overpriced compared to the selections on the food bar. There were two pieces of baked fish on the bar. I took one fish. It seemed very salty, dry and lukewarm. The fish was never refilled during the time we were in restaurant. The chicken livers were lukewarm. The fried chicken was very dry. The baked BBQ chicken was very tender and moist. (It was the only thing that seemed good). The fried green tomatoes were lukewarm. No one never filled the green beans. The seafood salad was very low and was never refilled. The lettuce seemed not to be fresh. Some of the lettuce had turned brown. The waitress initially brought our drinks and picked up dishes only once. The restaurant was not very busy. The waitress did not receive a tip from us. This is the second time we visited this restaurant. We had wanted to give it another chance. Unfortunately, no improvements. There will not be a third visit.

Rick Kelly

Not impressed at all. My best friend and I went for lunch on a Tuesday. We arrived at approx. 11:30am. Although the food bars were well stocked, most of the food looked as though it had need sitting out for hours, had that "untouched" crusty look. I had fried chicken (2 wings), meat loaf, mashed potatoes, baby carrrots and dressing. ALL of which was very over salted, except the chicken, and was barely warm. WILL NOT BE BACK.

Stale old food and very poor quality. Need to keep fresh food or its a complete waste

Andréa Raquel

It's gooood and the staff is down home and friendly.

Billy Lewis

Fresh food, Clean, affordable price, helpful staff, great for dining alone or with the family. Always a Pleasant experience every time.

MAGGIE HEGWOOD

enjoyed it very much! I ordered a steak from the grill and the cook was great. friendly, and my steak was perfect. loved the salad bar. my only complaint -i didn't see any bread pudding but the other desserts filled me up too not a veggie eater but my sister is and she loaded up on those , my husband attack the taco and my brother got a little of everything and i mean everything. so yeah it was a great night of food!!

Amanda Price

The steak didn't have much seasoning, was dry, and was not the best cut of meat. The stir fry, had a glazed taste to it and chicken was dry. I don't eat iceberg lettuce but didn't have a choice since the other two....appeared old. Unsure as to what kind of fish it was but it was tough. The pork chops was the only tasty item besides the hot fries! Flies were disturbing our meal so I decided to end it with some ice cream. Unfortunately, looking at the toppings, noticed some type of bug....crawling in the peanuts shaker!!!!!!! So that was the first and last time, of me dining here.

C Adams

First look is a little deceiving, a big building and a smaller buffet. The food was ok, I understand the idea of not over seasoning but a little bit of seasoning and taste is so much better than not having a taste at all. Clean place and friendly staff.

Lindsey Burke

Visiting from out of town and wanted to try this place and it is so good! I don't have one complaint all the food was fresh and delicious. Wish we had one back home! Please try this place you wont regret!

Joe Ohearn

Great food and excellent service. Awesome job!!!

GREG WILLIAMS

Generously given a 1 star. I feel that staff is genuinely working hard to put out food and service. But the food is extremely commissary in nature and NO FLAVOR. And guess what if it looks dried out and stale --- it is dry and stale... The price of a dinner buffet is high no matter where you choose to "buffet ". But flavor is love and without flavor----you're not going to get much love. If you are going to charge "buffet prices" then the food that you prepare and present to your patrons must be cooked with flavor and taste in mind.

Jennifer Scott

Waitress was very nice and food was hot and good. Soup always looks disgusting and restaurant definitely needs some upgrades and basic maintenance.

Jason Rowe

Me and my family went to Brian's for the first time on Thanksgiving. Our experience was one of the best we will consider coming back for future thanksgiving's. Everybody that reads this comment please know that they do have some bad times but they also have some great times.

Paula Robinson

Same ole food just different day.

Priscilla Pourron

Has good food.

Brian Babb

This place is better than I expected and cleaner than when it was a Ryan's. Enjoyed the J93.3 music playing too. It also has a great name! No I'm not the owner.

Cunningham’s Crops N Critters

This place is almost exactly what Ryan's used to be. Paying before you go in it's always slow, not the cashier's fault the card system they use takes forever. Aside from that it's good food at a good price. 14.32 including a drink after tax for all you can eat steak that tonight was better then most ordered steaks I've had! Keep it up Brian's! Great salad bar, desserts and many other items as well.

Flame and Luna

They are stepping up their game. Great food and owner is always on top of things...

Jeffery Murch

We enjoy eating at Bryans. Salad bar is A1. Best anywhere! The only complaint in quality is the chicken. It gets cooked too long and is ALWAYS dry. Other than that, we love it.

Brandy June

Love this buffet. Thursday kids night is awesome!

Sean Collins

Friendly. Quiet. Nice food selection. Needs to be on top of seafood trays on fish nigh though.

Leslie Johnson

David is very friendly waiter!! The man is on his job!! Thumbs up to you. My grandson said he was funny..so I know he liked him. Overall very friendly atmosphere. Food was good.ive been there a few times.

Crystal Latiolais

Was going to eat here with my family but something smelled awful when we walked in so we left.

Barbara Johnson

Not good.. Will never go back

Cheryl washington

I like it! Well be back!

tammi massey

Foods great service as well

Debra Sorrell

Great services and great food. Clean and friendly waitress.

Nick Maples

This was and is the nastiest food I've ever had. It cost nearly $50 for 2 adults and two kids and everything we tried was trash. Sorry but not sorry don't ever go here unless your tastebuds are shot. Too many complaints to list

Austin Roberson

Very good eattiing place but people letting there kids play in the food so I didn't get but one plate of food

John Dixon

It was okay food was kind of cold

melinda white

Today was my first and last time coming here. Their website said the price up to 3 p.m. was 7 something for an adult and when we get here the cashier said she didn't know what I was talking about so I show her their own website and she still says it's not correct. That should of told me to leave but we were hungry and already there. Every single thing in there had no flavor and was damn near inedible. The chicken was at least a few days old and was cold in the middle... I could go on and on describing each and every thing but ultimately everything was nasty. I wish I could give it negative stars it was so bad.

P. Patton.

The food was so fresh and delicious and the staff very friendly and the restaurant was nice and clean.

bianca banks

There good some food could be better like the mc cheese

Frank N

kristoph wulf

Great place to eat and always fresh

Sheila Weed

Good food . good service .

sherniecek

No offense and i know we know how to cook all i seen was black cooks/ butchers but i didnt know if i needed to come in and sit because i seen only white waitress still gave her a tip no worries but hey i use to love Ryans before they change it...Then when the phone rings the cashiers said well i dont know why people call they probably already know what we have like people question will never be your question so who was she to judge what people wanted just because the hung up when u took to long to answer but the services was. I had to open the book to see how it is

Connie Rosser

Food is awesome and the staff is very friendly. Will come again.

Elaine Riley

jeffro knows

I love this buffet

Randy Carroll

The staff is friendly and the food is pretty good. The facility could use updating.

Linda Clay

The food was good. Large selection of meats from meatloaf to ribs, fish,fried fatback and of coarse fried chicken. Good variety of vegetables and fruit and salad bars. No excuses for leaving there hungry!!!

carl marks

Good food, really like those fried pork chops. Wait staff seems a little tired.

Christopher S. Strickland

It was my daughter's birthday and she wanted to eat there as her gift, she hardly asks for anything, so her, her sister, mom and me had the most incredible meal money could buy. There was 3 items i was looking forward to that wasn't on the buffet and the cook at the steak grill not only prepared it but brought it to our table. The waitress was incredibly nice and spot on her job in spite of obviously being exhausted. Then they found out it was my daughters birthday and the manager, waitress and another waitress made a big deal singing their version of happy Birthday to her turning her fire engine red! I loved it.. If your around Griffin Ga and want a buffet meal and out of this world experience, Brian's Buffet is the ONLY place to go. Keep up the good work and thank you.

Eric Armstrong

If you used to cherish the times you went to Ryan's buffet then you will LOVE this place!! I have so many memories coming back to this restaurant. The food is fairly good, I would give it a solid 7/10 because you're not paying for super quality food, you're paying for the ability to have multiple different styles of food all being hot and seemingly fresh. The rolls are out of this world and the fried chicken is extremely good. I highly recommend spending your money here to keep this dream alive!

michael wiesenfeld

We eat here at least once a week very friendly

Jessica Burnett

Always great food n friendly staff

DVaL 2020

Darrell Strawbridge

Saturday 2 pm, 6/30/2018 , pork chop like shoe leather, chicken uncooked in the thigh joint, BBQ meat no spice or favour and full of fat, rice and gravy was ok , No rolls, only corn bread and they were out of cornbread. For this I was charged $25+ for my wife and I to eat lunch, Was rudely informed there was no lunch pricing on Saturday, the Seafood dinner didn't start until 4 pm, guest they were afraid we would stay till then for the seafood. MSG loaded into everything, been to the bathroom 3 times as I wright this. Left mad , Will not be back,

Ronald Flowers

Absolutely wonderful. Great service and food.

Lil Dom K

Great Food

Carter Adams

Great value. IMO, it's the best buffet in Griffin.

Mandee Floyd

Food was great and kept up and the waitress was so sweet. The hostes has a bad attitude tho. Not really a great person to have greeting customers.

Rosemarie Marrone

Good food but some of it to salty. Steak too thin. Waitress was perfect

Dorothy Davis

The food was ok it was like usual the waitress we had was the problem we took my dad and with his bad health he is in a wheelchair after we paid we walked to the side and yes there was a booth that we stopped at we where getting stuff situated and we sat the receipt on the table for a second well our waitress came up and said that we can't be there because of the wheelchair I told her we were just getting things together and we where going to a table anyway she said I will show you where you can sit and put us near the back under a air vent and my dad is nothing but skin and bones and you can tell this by just looking at him needless to say I'm not happy with our server today

Karen Harvey

Almost all the food wasn't good the only thing was good was the chicken ,taco ,and salad the waiter was nice I gave the nice lady a tips

Amy Hardman

I like this restaurant. The food is good. A different variety.

Khakla The Advocate

Chante Cole

The food was delicious...I enjoy my medium rare steak it was cooked perfectly! Compliments to the chef!

Daniel Eckert

Food was fresh. Entrees were hot. Desert bar has good variety and tasted good.

Barby Frazier

Great food, wonderful staff, awesome owner, and a spiritual family atmosphere! Love this place!

EDITH BANKS

Good food Good time Good people

Latasha Millens

First off let me start by saying this is my first time going to this restaurant. When I come in the cashier was veryNice. So I go and find my table and then I proceed to go make me a plate So I get some baked chicken collard greens cornbread mashed potatoes and I go have a seat And eat the chicken first of all was cold as well as the collar greens the cornbread was hard and only thing good on my plate with mashed potatoes. I would never recommend this place to anybody and clearly food inspection needs to come and see them because from my understanding food is supposed to be at a certain temperature when running a restaurant $10 down the drain.

Donna Rooks

Decent food. Great service. Better than a Ryans.

Robin Henry

Great food! Good service! Only complaint way to cold in the building food got cold before we could eat it because the AC was on full blast.

Ashley Pollette

Really great southern food! Also a full salad bar if you're trying to eat on the healthy side! Staff is super friendly and keep the food bar stocked and fresh! Definitely will visit again. Oh, and my 3 year thought it was hit too! That's always a plus!

Lisa Roberson

it a nice place but I was there last Sunday and people was letting there kids play in food so I didn't eat but one small plate

Ginger Mitchell

Food looks good but doesn't taste good

Pooh Bear

Over priced and unseasoned. The plates forks and spooned were nasty and bent. Gross!

Shannon Brady

Love this family oriented atmosphere and.good food

Kim Thompson

Great food, great service!

Recycled Rods

Food is great and staff is friendly. Many items to choose from. Something for everyone.

Sharon Cherry

Very good

Wil Hix

The staff are friendly and hard working. Old food is removed from the serving tables quickly and replaced with fresh food. Waiters and waitresses are good at serving patrons.

Daryl Taylor

Good Good/service good

Terrance Benford

Good food good prices

Sharon McKeehan

Food is good. A large variety of choices.

Darlene Harris

Everything was delicious and the prices were great. The staff was friendly and professional. We will make sure to make this our go to restaurant whenever we are in the area.

Danielle Godwin

Love the variety of food and the service but sometimes the food is just way over seasoned.

Donna Willis

The staff here is great. The food is mediocre at best.

Chris Allard

This place is amazing if you love bland, dry food. Would highly recommend if seasoning scares you, canned food is your best friend and you like chewing your steak for 10 minutes. Highlight of my dining experience was leaving.

Barbie Stevens

The place isn't awful...but I liked it much better when it was fire mountain. The food is hit or miss, we never know if it will be worth our money or not.

Shone Temples

It was ok.. nothing special

Richard Nixon

Better than the other well known place GC.

Frank Ahart

Eh.. not a really good selection. Seems like they put more energy and thought into merchandising than they actually do the food

Dana Harrison

This was our 2nd time eating here. Wasn't to impressed 1st time but that was when they opened. This time we left full and very happy

James Chambers

Excellent service and excellent food

Roger Dunn

Food is always good and the employees are very friendly!! Quite enjoyable meal!!!

Austin Holtapp

Excellent all around, clean friendly and great place for family. Service was exceptional!

kenneth wilkerson

Still like coming here, but the food quality has gone down some. But that's just my opinion

Zena McCommon-Lukatos

The food was exceptionally good this evening.

Amie Bowman

My husband loves buffets, I hate them, but after eating at hundreds of buffets across the USA I have to say this one is the best, simply if for no other reason you can get food that could stand on its own against any number of restaurant main feature entrees and beat the flavor and cooking procedures as well. Its also a incredibly spacious dining area, so it is easy to avoid less mannerly diners. Staff was actually working and working together which leaves a calmer atmosphere all around. Price for dinner was around $12, and they offer quality and variety for that. Not a senior bargain place but many sales and kid discounts (varies) during the week. Clean dining area and food bars. The cooking of meats could be a business model for many restaurants that fail at this in buffet service. Salad and produce selections were fresh.Ample parking, is off 41 south, we were able to park our truck with 35 ft trailer no problem. Soda and tea, as well as gratuity cost extra (don't forget to tip; service is great even in busy hours!)

awsomness boss

Great food and tables galore. Has various delicious foods, a salad bar, and a delicious dessert section. I would recommend eating here with large crouds.

Reid Nunn

I'm giving it 4 stars as a buffet. I paid my $11.79 and then the guy tells me where to go to have my steak cooked. I didn't know I was going to get a steak I just thought I was getting a good Buffet. so much food I could only eat half the steak so I put the other half in a huge dinner roll that they brought to my table that was absolutely delicious. I expect when I'm in Griffin again I'll go back

Judy Bell

There is so much to choose from. I eat to much every time. Excellent food.

Cat Nguyen

Well- seasoned food, interesting desserts, the creamiest ice cream you could find in a buffet!

Timothy Jones

It's so good.love The chicken livers .yummy

John Den

Thr food is real good. Use to great service. And bad food . Not it real good food and no service. Great place to eat now day clean and great food now.

raven bishop

not worth the price of admission, nothing was horrible but nothing was great, underseasoned, lack luster buffet

c h

Kid friendly Thursdays. Lots of things for kids to do there and great deal on kids too.

Emily Littleton

If you are looking to have roaches for dinner this is your place. They serve then everyway friend grilled hell they were even in the dessert. Goodbye Brian's Buffett hello roaches all you can eat.

official super Thunder

Best all you can eat on Thursdays kids 11& under eat free

Dan York

Tasty comfort food for a fair price. Very friendly staff

mike masscre

I'm giving 5 stars for the staff only . I just recently worked here and while my job was hard and probably worth more than bare minimum wage I will say the staff are some of the hardest working people I've had the chance to meet . I'll say this though DO NOT get this job if you actually are trying to make good money . Most of the staff have 2nd jobs if that tells you anything . If your seeking good employment search elsewhere . The managers talk a good talk but in essence they overwork you and then shave your paycheck.

Catherine Beam

Its ok.

Sheholline Oneal

Food was very good, seasoned to perfection!!

Christina C

My husband and I came across this wonderful buffet after going to a Chinese buffet cross the road with a rude hostess. The food was great, very clean, and the service was excellent made us feel welcome since we are from Pennsylvania.

Ann Mcgee

Good prices friendly

michael stuart

Service was great, and the food was lots better than the last time I visited.

Brittany Walker

Angela Huddleston

This buffet is amazing- the best food of any buffet I have been to yet! We were very pleased with the meal and the service, the cakes are simply delicious too. If you've never visited, you really should try it!

Ron Yarbrough

Most of the food was either Luke warm or cold.
