2. The Earthen Jar (311 S 5th Ave., Ann Arbor)

5. Bistro 555 (1200 St. Antoine, Detroit)
This charming spot sits within Greektown Hotel and Casino. While the eatery offers plenty of standard American fare for order, it also prides itself on serving an incredible breakfast buffet.

Yes, Texas de Brazil is a nationwide chain restaurant, but it’s simply too unique and fun to omit from our list of Detroit-area buffets.

You’ll also find a fantastically fresh salad bar to supplement your entree. If you’ve never tried Brazilian food, you’re in for an insanely delicious treat when you venture to Texas de Brazil.
