    While it does have a smaller selection of food, Pontiac Buffet is a very good place to eat. The food is almost always fresh and they are always filling up what they run out of. The staff keeps up on drink refills, too. It's also cleaner than most buffets. Overall, it's a good restaurant.

    This place continues to go down hill, I have to agree with the numerous other low reviews. It used to be pretty good but is getting to the point where I don't really want to go back. Here is our last experience
    1. The booths and benches are in bad shape
    2. The staff doesn't seem to interested in cleaning tables off immediately after they are vacated.
    3. Its difficult if not impossible to get your drink refilled.
    4. During the entire time we were there, I didn't see anyone refill or clean up the buffet area, many items were half filled, empty or unappealing.
    5. The food was warm at best.
    6. The place seems to be run by a family that has a small child the cries most of the time. They speak in loud Chinese and between the crying and talking it is very annoying to guests.
    7. The place needs re-decorating, painting and cleaning badly.

    The people that run this place need to understand what it takes to run a restaurant and give good customer service.

    This place never fails to provide cold food for an expensive price.  Always feel like I need to make sure I'm close to a restroom shortly after eating here. For some reason my kids like this place, possibly because they have no clue food is supposed to be warm at the very least.

    OMG!. If you are the type that thinks first impressions are important then close your eyes when walking in. The decor is consistent throughout as well. You'll notice that the yellow paint smeared on the front windows is also smeared on the bathroom wall and tile on the floor. If this is the attention they've paid to what we can see, I'd hate to see what the kitchen looks like. The food is about what you would expect but after a plate full you'll be feeling anything but good about what you just put in your body. On another note, I was pleased to see them sit two total strangers at our table not to much after we sat down. I guess they are promoting loving thy neighbor.
