About This Spot

Buffet King in Odessa feels like one of those dependable neighborhood treasures where the hum of conversation blends effortlessly with the clinking of plates and the warm aromas of homey, bold flavors. It’s the kind of spot you find yourself returning to not just for the food but for the easy rhythm of the place—a cheerful, bustling buffet where families, colleagues, and friends gather with open appetites and relaxed smiles.

Step inside and you’re met with a lively yet unpretentious atmosphere. The pace here is steady but never rushed, inviting diners to savor different tastes at their own comfort. There’s a certain casual joy in watching the colorful spread—from vibrant salads and freshly carved crab legs to steaming bowls of soup and varied sushi—that feels as much about sharing moments together as it is about indulging in familiar favorites.

The heart of Buffet King lies in its variety and warmth. The friendly staff moves thoughtfully among the crowd, making sure plates are full and questions are answered with a genuine smile. It’s easy to sense that the place thrives on community—a meeting point close to Odessa’s shopping hubs where locals reconnect over classic egg drop soup or delight in the unexpected crispness of a honey bun fry dough.

Though it’s a buffet, there’s a freshness and attention to detail that many of its visitors note—a reminder that here, quality isn’t sacrificed for quantity. Whether you’re drawn by the seafood or the assortment of sushi, each plate invites you to slow down and enjoy the textures and flavors that come from thoughtful preparation. It’s a place where even the pickiest eaters can find something to savor, and where the meal often stretches into a shared experience over laughter and conversation.

In many ways, Buffet King embodies the rhythm of everyday indulgence—a spot where the familiar feels comforting, the food feels freshly made, and the atmosphere quietly encourages returning visitors to feel at home.

Food is always good. Really like the Mongolian Grill.. That is just about as fresh as it gets! Staff is friendly and prompt. Prices are average compared to everywhere else in town. You’re normally going to pay more in the premium basin anyway. Close proximity to the mall and Lowe’s, and many other businesses.

I do NOT do buffets. I was in town with a colleague and he wanted to eat here. I kept an open mind, and, Good Golly this place has very good food!! This will definitely be a place I visit every time I'm in town. I was completely, overstuffed when I left. If you're in Odessa, TX, seeing by the Buffet King. But make sure you wear loose pants!

The restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes to suit everyone's taste buds, and I must say that I'm thoroughly impressed with my experience at a buffet. The dishes were fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. The seating little bit congested, but I enjoyed the seafood a lot. Overall, it's good , It's an excellent option for families and friends. Thank you .

This place is great. Tons of food... Which is why buffets exist. I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor town this buffet is. They have all my favorites and some. There's an Asian flan which is pretty good and the fruit selection is great. They have a Mongolian grill going on that cooks on the spot. The staff the greatest they are super nice and not in a hurry like other buffets. I recommend this place to anybody with a good appetite and a hungry stomach.
