Anybody been to Golden Corral or the one at l'auberge lately?

Honestly can say I’ve never had one of those.

Oriental Pearl for Chinese food and sushi.

I don't think Johnny's is currently doing their buffet, and I'm not sure if they plan on bringing it back.

Also not sure about Gatti's.

Thai Pepper had the best buffet, but they still haven't brought it back and I'm not what their plans are.

Not a buffet, but Sushi Masa is AYCE and it's damn solid imo.

Saw some pics yesterday on the BR subreddit from El Magey, I forgot all about that place but I remember it was surprisingly good. Central Buffet has also been open to dine in for months, medium quality but they do have some good items.

Yep, it’s back in some of their locations and more are opening every day. You can see a list of their buffet locations on their Facebook page.

I had El Magey last week. I still thought it was pretty solid.

Gatti's buffet has been running for a while. Sadly, Swagat has no plans to reopen their buffet. Wouldn't be surprised if Thai Pepper doesn't open theirs back up either.

They just opened a location in Gonzales so I'm hoping they'll have the buffet

My friend gave me a gift card to El Magey for my wedding present. I thought it was kind of strange but it was good

Makes me so upset. I became of a huge fan of theirs in february of 2020. I got a lunch plate to go for the first time and saw the buffet and thought, “damn that looks good.”
I never got my chance…

I would have given myself the worst heartburn and been miserable but i would have enjoyed every last bite.


On that note… any indian buffets within a 20mile radius of southeast baton rouge?

I went to Golden Corral 2 weeks ago for the first time since Covid. It was very good.

Hard to beat for 13.99. Hoping to go again soon.


Central Buffet is very good too, but a bit of a drive for me.

Oriental Buffet is solid. But GC beats it hand down for dinner(GC starts at 4pm). Steak, pork beans, fried catfish, fried chicken, etc.

Punjabi Dhaba in Hammond, and yes the buffet is open.

Thai Pepper should be bringing back their buffet soon.

Country Kitchen in Gonzales is AYCE, but I don’t think you serve yourself.

Taste & Sea is open

El Magey is open.

Tang Buffet in Gonzales is open
