History

Our commitment to quality started back when Roe Hatlen and C. Dennis Scott founded their first Buffets restaurant in 1983. Their dream was to build a restaurant based on a few basic beliefs: quality, value and service. With these basic beliefs, and the help of many talented, motivated individuals, the two built a thriving buffet restaurant chain.

The company is headquartered in Eagan, Minnesota and is now one of the nation’s largest restaurant chains. Today, our founders’ same commitment to a few basic beliefs lives on in over 600 restaurants around the country. Join us and enjoy all the delicious, quality choices we’ve specially prepared for you. Bring the whole family, because there’s always plenty to please everyone.
