Popular Local Restaurants Win Over Diners With Memorable Buffets and Comfort Food

Several local restaurants stand out for offering memorable meals without relying on flashy exteriors or formal atmospheres. Rick’s Cafe in Virginia Beach draws a steady crowd despite its unassuming appearance, while Washington’s Feast Buffet in Renton offers a wide-ranging spread with food priced by weight or piece. Tacoma’s Harvest Buffet pairs sushi, grilled foods, Chinese-American favorites and seafood in an expansive setting, and Simply Southern Smokehouse in Myrtle Beach serves an all-you-can-eat selection of Southern comfort food in a casual, welcoming space.
Rick’s Cafe’s nautical interior includes detailed ship models, including a replica of the ocean liner S.S. United States—a contrast to its plain brick exterior.
Feast Buffet’s dining room is arranged with dark tables and chairs under warm lighting, and the article notes that staff quietly clear plates and keep the room tidy.
Harvest Buffet has wooden tables and blue booths, along with a large screen in its bright, spacious dining room; its food options include lo mein, crab rangoon and fried rice.
Simply Southern Smokehouse is set in a cottage-like building with tan siding, a green metal roof and a covered porch; American and South Carolina flags hang outside.
