I have lived in Tusc/Northport Area for 42 years. THIS IS THE WORST restuarant I have ever walked into. The food was disgusting!!! Plates and silverware at the buffet area were dirty with dried food and markings. The selections were what I can imagine Prison food must resemble. I got up to go to buffet and came back, and realized I must have dropped my Visa gift card that was in my lap upon being seated. Literally was in my lap when I was sitting at table, got up to quickly follow my 4 year old son to the food area. When I returned, I remembered that I dropped my Visa Gift Card. So it should have been on, under, or near the table. We were seated in a section where there were no other patrons, as I requested it so my kids could watch the TV. However, no card to be found anywhere. I just had it 3-5 minutes prior and now it was missing. No one but employees had been that direction as that was the quickest route to the kitchen. Suddenly no one spoke good English, had no idea what could have happened and did not make any effort to ask any other employees. It was extremely odd. One can ONLY assume the Visa Gift card sprouted legs and ran out the door. So to add insult to injury, it never was found. This was the icing on the nasty, inedible, oddly tasting CAKE! If the apocalypse hit and this was the only place in Tuscaloosa County serving food, I would not eat there. Honestly, Im suprised the health department has not shut the down. Back 10 years ago this place had different Owners and was a decent place to get a buffet variety on a Sunday afternoon. Now, its a slop house where negligence is the only thing offered on the Buffet.

This place is very hit-or-miss in terms of its quality. Their sesame chicken, however, has never and will never be good. Sesame chicken is among my favorite Chinese dishes, but they just cannot do it right here. If you arrive during peak lunch times, you may be treated to fresh food. Their best items include Honey Chicken (my favorite there), Teriyaki Chicken, General Tsos Chicken, and their buttery potatoes. Their Spicy Chicken is not bad either. With that being said, its imperative to visit Chinese buffets during the "right time" of the day (peak lunch or dinner hours), and that could not be more true at City Buffet. That is the only way to ensure that fresh food is out and ready to consume. During the mid-afternoon hours, I have visited several times only to be disappointed by their lack of food and refusal to bring more out until the top or bottom of the hour.

There are a lot of items to choose from on the buffet, egg rolls, beef and broccoli, sesame chicken, lo mien, seafood mix, mini fried shrimp, and tons more- I really like the chicken mushroom dish..... if you have a family member that does not like chinese, there are even some american type items like french fries and mini bbq ribs, fried chicken wings, and many others. Everything is really tasty, the owners are very friendly, it is my favorite place to eat in Northport!

The food wasnt too bad and not anything to talk about either, but as I was leaving I wanted to use the bathroom and ended up in a part of the building that makes the whole restaurant look like it should be condemned. Never again! I cant believe I had my child in this restaurant. I wanted to cry when I got in my car. It was an absolute health hazard. I cannot believe this place remains open.

I think we might have just went at a bad time but a lot of the food was cold on the top & hard.. I found a couple of things that I liked but definitely will not be going back. The price was extremely to high for the food to be so crappy. Not a fan. And my boyfriend didnt even leave before he was running to the bathroom.. So that just tells you how good the food quality is.

This Is horrible moldy water from air vent dripped in my sons food. Acted like they didnt know but all the vents were like that when we looked and bathrooms are disgusting. Waiters were very rude. And asked for a discount they only gave us 1 kid for free. And I currently have diarrhea. Dont know if its food poisoning or not. But do not eat here.

People in charge needs to get this place straight. Sometimes it takes forever to put the food out. Also some waiters spect tip (which I still do) and they dont even offer you refills or take up the plates. And this place needs to be cleaned up, especially the bathrooms!!! Other than that its OK, but could do better.

I have never written a review on a place before but I felt the need to warn people that I just left there 3 minutes ago and it was the worst place I have ever walked in. I am very unpleased at how disgusting and cold the food was. I would not ever suggest someone to walk inside of this store and pay to eat here.

Timing is everything in buffets. We hit this place at 11am right as the doors opened. The food was fresh, and it was good also. Judging the place by the exterior, I wasnt expecting much...the interior was in better shape. Friendly service and good food out weighs the decor. Great place for lunch.

Food was ok, Ive had better. They didnt have any lettuce at the salad bar. And apparently they charge you more for coming in on a Sunday and feel the need to NOT have a lunch special. For 1 adult with water and 1 child with a drink it costs me $19. Thats just a little too much in my option.

Some of the had to be left from the night before, we were there about 11:30. The steam tables are not hot enough, food just barely warm. The bathroom is the nastiest place I have ever walked into. I know they just water it down with a waterhose.

Mold was around the air vents and was leaking on the table dripped in to my 2 year old nephews plate. Bathrooms are nasty and the food was not good at all. The health department will have a call from me!!!! Do not eat here!!!!!!
