All You Can Eat KC: The Best Buffet in Kansas City

While Kansas City is internationally known for its barbecue, far too many people overlook its excellent buffet offerings. Whether you're craving Italian, Asian, or a classic American buffet in Kansas City, there is no shortage of options to choose from. The city's diverse food scene offers an array of all-you-can-eat offerings that cater to every preference and palate. Here at The Oaks at Prairie View, one of Kansas Citys premier apartment communities, we love to help our residents find new and exciting dining options. Thats why weve compiled this list of our six favorite recommendations for the best buffets in Kansas City.


Cinzzetti's

Cinzeetti's offers a truly unique and immersive experience that is quite different from the typical buffet. With a design that is intended to replicate an open-air Italian market, this buffet features distinct stations such as a pizzeria, pasta kitchen, and grill. Diners are encouraged to wander through the "town square" as they fill their plates. The price of admission covers wood-fired pizzas, creamy alfredo, antipasti delicacies, salads, and a dessert bar full of tiramisu and gelato. The wide-ranging offerings create a feast of the senses, capturing the lively spirit of Italian mercatos. The buffet is upscale, high-quality, making it an ideal location for special occasions.

Fogo de Chao

While technically a "churrascaria," Fogo de Chao offers a luxurious, all-you-can-eat experience. This Brazilian restaurant offers table-side service, where a "Gaucho" chef will carve fire-roasted meats directly onto your plate. Diners will have no problem hitting their protein goals at Fogo de Chao. Patrons can also visit the buffet which features exotic vegetables, seasonal salads, fresh mozzarella, curated meats, and Brazilian specialities like feijoada (a black bean stew). The restaurant perfectly pairs rustic tradition with elegance, making this an excellent spot for special occasion feasts.


Harveys at Union Station

While not an everyday buffet, Harvey's at Union Station features one of the best Sunday breakfast buffets in town. The all-you–can-eat spread tends to attract large crowds, so be prepared for a possible wait, but the excellent breakfast offerings make it worth it. The buffet features upscale, American breakfast classics like smoked salmon, eggs strada, fried chicken, cheddar grits, and prime rib. Omelets and eggs Benedicts are made to order, ensuring deliciousness with every bite. With its location in Union Station, the atmosphere is upscale and elegant. The savory breakfast with the grand interior will make you nostalgic for the Art Deco era and feel like a character from The Great Gatsby. Being so close to downtown, this is the perfect place to start your Sunday with a full belly.

Joy Wok Super Buffet & Hibachi Grill

While there are many amazing Chinese options, we think Joy Wok is the best Chinese Buffet in Kansas City. Joy Wok is celebrated for its vast selection that goes well beyond standard Chinese American offerings. While diners can enjoy classics like General Tso's Chicken and Low Mein, they can also indulge in a fully stocked sushi bar, a hibachi grill section that includes Mongolian BBQ, and plenty of seafood. This restaurant is particularly celebrated by families and large groups. Given the wide range of offerings, everyone can find something that they'll like at Joy Wok.

PeachTree Cafeteria

PeachTree Cafeteria lives by a simple motto: "Doing things differently, better, and the right way." If you're craving southern soul food, Peachtree is the buffet for you. Diners move along a line selecting from an array of hearty, authentic southern dishes. Patrons can choose to pay by the item or opt for all-you-can-eat on certain days. Offerings change daily, so you're sure to find something new every time you visit. Certain staple items are served daily, like fried chicken, baked fish, mac and cheese, collard greens, cornbread, and sweet potato pie. No matter which day you choose to visit, you can rest assured that the food will taste as good as a Sunday at your grandma's house.

Taj Palace

If you're new to Indian cuisine, we'd like to recommend Taj Palace. Their lunchtime buffet allows you to sample a variety of popular Indian dishes, allowing you to experiment and explore. The spread offers a variety of options, including meat and vegetarian selections. Patrons can enjoy Indian classics like Tandoori chicken, freshly baked naan, biryani, and the world-famous Galub Jamun dessert. The food is excellent, and reviewers rave about the excellent value.
