BEST BUFFET

Hibachi Grill Supreme Buffet

2309 S. MacArthur Blvd., 698-6033 The peak, it seems, is past. Ryan’s Steak House. New Buffet City. International Buffet. Old Country Buffet. Buffet King. Best Buffet. Heritage House. All gone. Not so long ago, Springfield’s plate overrunneth with all-you-can-eat places, but no longer. Now, just three buffets, all opened within the past five years (and one just last month), remain. But contrary to what some AYCE aficionados might believe, it’s about quality, not quantity, and Hibachi Grill Supreme Buffet, which this year took the crown from Golden Corral, proves the point. We especially like the cooked-to-order stir fry station that guarantees a piping hot, fresh meal made exactly how you want it. Runner-up: Golden Corral
