OMG! 😱 Go hungry because there is such a variety of food! When we walked in I told my husband it was like when we were on our cruise. Just so much food! And the staff was so friendly and helpful. We went in the middle of the afternoon and the food was fresh and plentiful, which you wouldn't expect from a typical buffet. I highly recommend this place. PS wear loose fitting pants 😂

On 8/4/2026 Melissa P had this to say:
So I was skeptical about a buffet restaurant. I haven't been to one of these in a few years, mostly chains. But Saints Avenue was a winner. They take buffet to the next level. In many small towns, I'm used to salad being a limited iceberg kind of thing. I was pleased to find several types of lettuce and enough toppings to keep me happy. There were a lot of salad dressings, and it would have been nice to know what the different offerings were. Then I moved on to the main buffet. They had little muffin-style meatloaves. My daughter said it wasn't as good as mine... which are REALLY good, but these made a strong showing. But the roast beef and gravy over real mashed potatoes - I could have made a full meal on this alone. It was SO good. They also have a pretty extensive dessert buffet, but I was too full by that point. The people are really friendly and take care of your drinks, plus are attentive to whatever you need. Also an FYI - they do not serve breakfast. Bring an empty stomach to Saints Avenue - you'll need it!
