Old Country Buffet

Ill give it 4 stars ,been in yakima for about 2 weeks. Was debating on trying out this place . Over all a clean place , most food was decent, except the meat and ham , got some ham or Turkey thought it looked good but had a funky flavor to it . Then got some carne asada. And it was just horrible raw, dripping blood. Just rare , i tried chewing it. Eating it. Didnt happen . I had to just give up. Staff is good , friendly workers.

This was my second time there. The first time was good however now I'm sorry to say was poor. It was during peek time for dinner and not once did I see a managers presence the waitress ofeilia was very nice and attentive. The place was clean. It was very hot inside. The food most seemed to be old. Baked beans was more thick than peanut butter. The roast beef I did not eat but could see it was do tough the Carver could not cut it .. hands down a very unpleasant experience. Whoever was in charge needs to be reminded that most people are treating themselves and choose to go there. I'll m highly disappointed with my visit.

Long overdue...I received coupons today in the mail, which prompted me to come here today. Our family has visited OCB many, many times over the years, just a few years had passed, since we didn’t live near one until we moved to Yakima. The first time we visited we noted the food quality was not anywhere near what it used to be and the surroundings seemed a bit off/dingy, like it needed attention or was in great need of updating; I wasn’t sure, as we were ourselves, rushed that day (we sat at a center table). The next visit was almost 6 months later and we sat at a booth. The food was even worse this round, the staff was indeed lacking in some notable ways and now sitting at a booth, we could see how incredibly filthy this establishment was. That dingy we felt before, gave way to a clearer picture and was in fact overwhelming...the walls in our booth we’re riddled with food debris and dirt; months, maybe years of not having seen a real cleaning. You could smell that the water/bleach rags being used were in need of changing, the edges of the tables were tacky and the floors were also riddled with food. We cautiously ate a portion of what we had initially served ourselves, until we started noting and discussing what we were seeing...needless to say, we gathered our things and left. I’m sorry, but where is the health department in this area? Does this mean we should be careful of all restaurants in general here? We will never return unless there is mention of a complete overhaul, including management...
