Old Country Buffet recently promoted a limited-time $5.99 weekend breakfast buffet, so we decided to check it out right away. When we arrived, the line to be seated was surprisingly long—extending to the entrance. For a moment we considered going elsewhere, but the inviting aromas drew us back into the queue.
Expect a crowded dining area—busier than a typical dinner service—and be prepared to wait again briefly at the food stations. Those are normal results of a large weekend crowd, and the lines for food move steadily. Once you taste the offerings, the wait and bustle seem worth it.
Despite the high turnout and the low price, the food quality remained solid. Classic breakfast items were available and tasted as expected. The buffet featured a wide selection, including:
- Carved ham
- Bacon
- Eggs Benedict
- Corned beef hash
- French toast
- Hash browns
- Sausage
- Scrambled eggs
- Fresh fruit
- Biscuits and country gravy
- Waffles
- Buttermilk pancakes
- Country fried steak
- Pastries
- Quiche
For the price, the $5.99 weekend breakfast buffet represents good value. With a wide assortment of hot and cold options, it’s easy to build a satisfying meal that could carry you through most of the day.
