Western Sizzlin Steak & More — Restaurant in Fort Smith

Ok, so this reminds me of my childhood. Definitely has an old, small-town feel. The building is older and could use a good, deep clean and update. Our side of the restaurant had a lingering smell of cigarette smoke, I am assuming from long ago when it was a smoking section. The window ledges and walls were dirty with dead flies, and the booths were very squished or low. The service however, was good. Every employee was kind, and our server was fast with refills and plates. It is a buffet, but you can order steaks and meat separately, which is something I was not used to at a buffet. The prices were ok for today's food prices, I guess. $15 for the buffet for adults, but you can choose to just get salad bar for $5 less. The salad bar was actually quite impressive. Fully stocked with a large selection and very clean and fresh. I do wish they offered romaine or spring mix instead of iceberg lettuce only, but just about every other topping was available. They also had a lot of Southern style mixed salads, fruits, dressings, breads, and soup. The hot bar was not as impressive. It looked good at first but the veggies in particular all tasted as if they had been sitting in water all day. The broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, carrots, corn, etc all had no flavor or seasoning at all. Some others were ok like your traditional beans, mashed potatoes, and Mac and cheese but the meat too wasn't very flavorful or tasty. Obviously, they serve the better hot food if you order the steaks separately and not on the buffet. If we ever tried again. I would stick with just the salad and soup bar. The biggest hit was probably the desserts with my kids. There was fresh Cobbler, cream pies, an ice cream station, and bakery items. Overall, this buffet is ok, but for the higher price, I would hope they would try to serve fresher veggies and hot food and update and clean the inside. It has potential, and I can see how they have a lot of regulars in...

I went here for lunch today and Josh was our waiter. He was great! He checked on us and made sure we had what we needed. He was especially kind and helpful to the elderly ones in my group. The rest of the staff seemed nice too. I appreciated the disposable gloves at the buffet to use while touching the serving utensils. Okay, so the reasons for my low stars are based on the food and atmosphere. The food was okay. It's a small buffet. There is not a designated "dessert bar". Instead the dessert is randomly placed alongside the regular food. The plates are old. There is a lot of dust on the lights and decor. The area you wait in line with a maze is definitely not handicap accessible so I suggest parking your loved one someplace else in the restaurant while you get in line. Also, outside the entrance there is a ramp for wheelchairs but one side is not accessible. The parking block and the curb are too close together so you cannot get through. This restaurant appeals more to the older crowd. This won't be my first choice when I choose to eat a buffet. Compared to the other buffet in the area it would be the...
