List of buffet restaurants

A Western Sizzlin' location in Adel, Georgia

This is a list of notable buffet restaurants. A buffet is a system of serving meals in which food is placed in a public area where the diners generally serve themselves.[1] Buffets are offered at various places including hotels and many social events. Buffets usually have some hot dishes, so the term "cold buffet" (see Smörgåsbord) has been developed to describe formats lacking hot food.
