The 6 Best New England All-You-Can-Eat Buffets Worth the Drive

If you love a great all-you-can-eat buffet, then hop in the car for six of the best in New England.

Mashed put together a list of the best buffets in every state. But unfortunately, some listed are now closed. As they pointed out,

The pandemic wasn't kind to self-serve establishments, and inflation hasn't been a boon to buffets, either. Any buffet that survived the last few years of turmoil has a few tricks up its sleeve.

Here are some that have survived to the delight of customers. Let's start close to home in Maine.

EAST Restaurant and Lounge - Wells, Maine

They welcome families or any social gathering, and parties are even welcome for the Sunday buffet! They have award-winning Chinese, Japanese, and Thai cuisine, plus a full bar service that includes all your regular domestic drinks and lots of exotic Polynesian drinks.

Flaming Grill & Supreme Buffet - Revere, Massachusetts

Flaming Grill and Supreme Buffet is one of the biggest restaurants in Revere and the surrounding area. Their main feature is the Teppanyaki grill. You pick your meats and vegetables, and a professional Teppanyaki cooks it. A Teppanyaki grill is better known as a hibachi. They have over 250 items in their buffet bars!

The Foundry - Manchester, New Hampshire

This is a Sunday Brunch buffet that is worth the trip. Overlook the Merrimack River while you feast on their custom omelet station, scrambled eggs, local bacon, sausage, homemade pastries & donuts, fresh fruit, cinnamon french toast, Belgian waffles, freshly shucked local oysters, shrimp cocktail, smoked salmon, mixed green salad, seasonal soup, homemade meatballs, hand carved roast, and more!

The Nordic Lodge - Charlestown, Rhode Island

The Nordic is a fourth-generation restaurant in Charlestown, Rhode Island. They are seasonal, but the season lasts until December! They are known for their high-end buffet items, including over 100 high-end items like lobster, Alaska king crab legs, Black Angus filet mignon, and prime rib, just to name a few. And all you can eat! This one is pricey, but seems like a bucket list item.

Grand Buffet - Essex Junction, Vermont

As one Mainer on Tripadvisor noted, it's not gourmet, but it is delicious and the service was wonderful. All-you-can-eat Chinese food is also important, since if you wait 10 minutes, you are hungry again.

Banana Brazil Grill - 4 Locations in Connecticut

Banana Brasil (Brazil) restaurants have a diverse menu using simple ingredients. From the moment you walk in, you will experience a truly captivating aroma of Brazilian barbecue and freshly cooked dishes. They wanted people to have a taste of Brazil, and this does the trick.
