Home Town Buffet - Loma Linda

When I think of buffets, I envision the extravagant ones found in Las Vegas. Some can be pricey, but I believe the experience is worth it—where else can you indulge in lamb, goose, prime rib, or beef for under $50? Unfortunately, Hometown Buffet doesn’t live up to that expectation. It offers a standard buffet experience with average meals that anyone could easily make at home. The desserts are similarly mundane—nothing out of the ordinary. There’s a lack of flair or exotic options; just plain food at a reasonable price. Additionally, the cleanliness of the food leaves much to be desired, and the menu lacks any spicy or ethnic flavors. It’s designed for the American palate, I suppose, which might count for something. This is the type of place where you can unwind and take it easy, but don’t expect anything exciting or memorable. Just eat and be on your way—that’s all there is to it.
