Hudson Buffet — Restaurant in Town of Fishkill

I used to come here all the time with my family but this place is no longer the place it used to be. The entire quality of this buffet has gone down over the last 10 years. The food is cold 90% of the time or it looks like it's been there for a while. The seafood doesn't taste fresh like it used to either. The sushi quality has gone down too; my sister found plastic in her piece of California roll a few weeks ago when we were there. Lastly, the staff are extremely rude people. They stare at you, ignore you, shout incoherent things at you as they keep walking when you try to ask them a simple question (like: do you have any shell crackers for the crab?) instead of helping. Really disappointing, coming here has always been a fun way to spend time with the family and eat great food. Seems like we'll have to go to Newburgh from now on.

Update: In Dec 2021, My sister insisted we come back here, so as a group of four to include my mother and fiance, we went. My fiance found a caterpillar in her food! A caterpillar!! And when we brought this to their attention, the woman said, "they eat vegetables. It's their food". I couldn't believe it. Yes, caterpillars eat veggies and other greens...so of course it's not a surprise it was on or around vegetables. However, does this mean you're not washing or checking your produce before you cook it?! What's up with that? I wish I took a photo of the plastic in the sushi too.

I think it's time for new owners or a new a buffet...

I went on a date with my boyfriend here, it used to be our favorite. We recently went there for dinner, we had 2 plates of food everything was good until our 3rd plate where I had gotten a piece of salmon. When I reached the table about to start eating I not how cold the salmon was. I’m not a complainer I don’t like to tell restaurants when there’s a issue yk like wtv I can always try and different peice to see if that was warm. I had noticed after eating (leaving the salmon untouched) that there will be a charge for food you don’t eat. When the waiter came to take our plates I whispered to her that I was sorry I didn’t eat the salmon because it was cold. After that she flipped out telling me “how dare I” tell her the food was cold. She ran off to get another worker and they both came at me telling me I should have ate it faster or it was never cold to begin with. They said “ you just go eat eat eat “ and started fake eating saying “ go num num num” they made a huge scene just by me whispering the food was cold…after that they were completely rude watching us and and when they gave us a refill our drinks were half full and she threw the check on our table. We definitely didint tip and honestly we should have just walked out. These people need to be trained on how customer service is...

My family's experience at this restaurant was absolutely awful. We had a party of 11 for a birthday celebration and they had us wait 25 minutes which was not at all a problem for us. Then we were finally called to be seated, but they had two separate tables set, so we couldn't sit together. The point of a family dinner is to congregate together, and talk as a family. We asked for accomadations and they refused. We were even open to compromise, offering to sit across from each other with a space in between. They again refused, saying they had a party of 8 waiting and they didn't want to sit them further back. We then asked if we could speak with a manager. When she arrived, she was incredibly rude. She was raising her voice and proceeded to say that "This is the best we can do so if you don't like it we have guests waiting outside". We even made it a point to reiterate the fact that they were turning away a party of 11 for a party of 8. The manager shrugged and continued to be rude in her tone and body language. The Hudson Buffet will never be getting my business again. I strongly recommend you do not dine here, as I would not want anyone else to endure such a...
