I am a Supervisor for individuals with Developmental Disabilities. On March 21, 2017 our folks (13 individuals & 5 staff) from the Wolcott area went to Hometown Buffet in Manchester on Slater Rd. When my staff returned they could not stop talking about how professional, polite, courteous, and caring the Hometown Buffet staff were to my staff and my individuals. We have been to many Restaurants within the CT area and never have I heard so much POSITIVE statements in regards to staff at other establishments as I have with the Staff here. Unfortunately I dont know which of their staff waited on them specifically, I do know however, that Annette was the Cashier, and I did speak with Mark Fischer in regards to the wonderful experience. It is always difficult in some folks eyes to see that individuals with Disabilities are just the same as you, myself, your Family, and your Relatives. We all need to be treated with Dignity & Respect. Thank you Hometown Buffet for making my individuals feel as though they belong to our Society....because They DO!!!!!!!

All the lettuce and spinach leaves looked really wilted!! Most of the macaroni and cheese was also kind of dried. Some of the chicken was okay but too tough for my tastes. Maybe it was sitting out too long. Im giving them 2 stars total because the waiters and waitress staff were friendly and nice. However the food is not very good and I hope it improves in the future!! Some of the cakes and brownies were about the only good things here which tasted alright. (And the clam chowder which was creamy and hearty.) Most of the other food needs to improve though!! Im really disappointed because this used to be one of my favorite places to eat. Now it seems like it has just gone downhill....

I used to like hometown buffet. maybe if the soft serve machine works Ill go up to 3 stars. its not extremely busy but the floor is sticky and everything is dirty. the food seems to have been sitting for a long time. Ive been to this very one a number of times but Im done. does anyone know where the ketchup is for my wrinkly fries? Ill just get a couple cans of food and heat them up in the microwave next time Im hungry. I really am curious tho if this pizza came from Walmart or Stop and Shop... is it better if the soft serve machine doesnt work at all or if it tastes really bad? all said and done at least Im not hungry any more.. now I just feel like crap.

Worst food any hometown could offer. Clam chowder was the only thing that didnt make me wanna retch. The food was ridiculously cold and tasted like it had been sitting out for hours. The cooks need to shut up and nut up or get out of the kitchen. Place was also hideously understaffed, poor nice Chang was the only waiter in sight. Very polite, made nice conversation, and kept a smile on his face despite how extra hard he had to work to serve tables; although our ticket never did get signed, Chang provided excellent service and worked with the cutest reindeer headband. Samantha, our cashier, was also very sweet and polite and very helpful.

They have the best fried chicken in the world. It is not greasy and its always moist and delicious.There salad bar is terrific with a great variety of items to choose from. Cornbread is super good. When they have ribs, they are tender and the meat falls off the bone. The chicken soup is delicious. The breakfast buffet is also super. Everything is hot and fresh. The employees are dedicated people and keep things always picked up. We just love to go there to eat and go at least 3 or 4 times a month, maybe more. We are taking my 93 yr old aunt there for Thanksgiving dinner as she loves to go there.

The Food for the value is good & it is an All You Can Eat Buffet the only reason were rating this lower on the scale is after having gone to Golden Coral up in Mass weve not been satisfied since - that said weve had several "mini-parties" here where everyone met up paid for their family & we sat together to celebrate something great way to let everyone get what they want & if you go into the "room" section were able to really enjoy chit chatting

We used to have a Hometown buffet in our town that everyone loved. Unfortunately, it was bought out and renamed. Coming to this one was very dissapointing. Its not clean, desserts are not well stocked. 2 workers were literally scooping chocolate soup from the ice cream machine that didnt freeze with a cup and bowl only to see families serving themselves icecream from that same machine a short while later. It will be the last time we visit....

Its quick in and quick out. Didnt have to wait. Staff was friendly. The food was cheap fast food, i.e. instant potatoes, canned veggies, canned gravy etc, etc, etc. I realized the minute I sat down (which is after you pay at the door) why I hadnt been to one of these in years... like 25 years. I wont go back. Next time Im hungry and want something fast I will just go to McDonalds.

All you can eat. The food is average. A good place to eat if youre too lazy to cook; theres something for everyone. Make sure to search for coupons online and in the papers. Update 08Aug17 I think someone piss off the dishwasher. The utensils and plates were dirty. The utensil holders still had food pieces and trashs in it. The plates had food particles on them. Food was on the dry side.

Very excellent today. everything is very fresh. Meatloaf is moist and tasty.Nice salad bar and soup. And guess what....you can even make your own ice cream soda. I made the old Brooklyn NY favorite...the black & white I cream soda....yummmy! You also make the another old Brooklyn favorite here...the chocolate. or vanilla Egg Cream drink! All the ingredients are here! Bon Appite!

Food variety was great, tasted good. Two negative things to say..... on meatloaf--> CHEFS: dont put tomato sauce/ketchup on it .. you should present it without & let the diners decide IF they want it that way, or with GRAVY. SECOND: WHY in the world should the diner have to pay for a drink? The plastic cup hold MAYBE 8 oz but the price was close to $3.00!!

Dont waste your money. I didnt like their lunch, so i thought why not give them another shot for breakfast? Bad decision. This place, Im convinced is a buffet for senior citizens. All their food is bland and "soft". Not ANOTHER one of my hard earned dollars will be given to this place. Ill sacrifice 40 minutes and go to Golden Corral.

I was disappointed in the quality of the food. I was there at about 5:15 on Tuesday night, December 16, 2014 and several of the main food items were already unavailable. There were very few deserts to choose from and the ice cream machine was out of order. Based upon my experience I would not recommend this facility.
