Where Can I Find The Best Buffets In Wisconsin?

North Country Steak Buffet might be the most famous, but these four all-you-can-eat feasts deliver in every way as well!

  • Paul Bunyan's Cook Shanty isn't a traditional buffet - it's a family-style campfire-inspired restaurant in the Wisconsin Dells, serving hearty skillets of country-style food. For breakfast, it's massive plates of sausage, ham, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, eggs, and the fan-favorite donuts. Lunch is an a la carte menu, but dinner shifts to an all-you-can-eat feast of fried chicken along with a rotating second entree, accompanied by homestyle sides.
  • Stonefire Pizza Co. is a massive pizza buffet in the heart of New Berlin. If you've never been to a pizza buffet before, it might just be the best bang for your buck you can get. Every type of pizza you can imagine is yours for the taking, loaded with every topping you could desire. The pizzas are made fresh in the traditional pizza oven and brought out hot, and you can supplement them with soups, salad, and meats like chicken nuggets. Keep an eye out for themed nights. The restaurant even has an arcade on site!
  • Home Town Cafe and Catering is located in the heart of Packers Nation - Green Bay! This laid-back restaurant does a brisk business in game day orders, but it also has a huge fanbase for its regular dine-in buffet. Start with soup and salad (including the famous chicken and dumplings) before moving on to a hearty country-style buffet featuring some of the state's best fried chicken, ribs, and meatloaf.
  • Fell's Supper Club is a classic a la carte restaurant specializing in German cuisine, but when they roll out their buffets, everyone takes notice. Two days a month, the restaurant hosts a German buffet serving specials like schnitzel and sauerbraten, and every Sunday Fell's plays host to the best brunch buffet in Wisconsin. The fare includes breakfast classics plus heartier dinner fare like beef tips and goulash.
