All-you-can-eat dining is making a comeback across the U.S. — and a new report has revealed the top-rated buffets in the country.
While high-end buffets in Las Vegas can cost more than $90 per person, many of the top-rated all-you-can-eat spots in America are much more affordable and located far from major tourist hubs, according to the report.
The analysis, conducted by BetUS, ranked buffets based on Google review scores, adult meal prices and beverage prices. The findings come as the buffet industry experiences a major rebound, with the global market valued at roughly $700 billion, according to industry data.
