Because everything is ready and waiting, buffet eaters will get in and out quickly, but the service is also fast for those who order from the regular menu. Everything we tried at Klutho's was made from fresh ingredients. It features a whole skinless breast marinated and grilled with a teryaki-tasting sauce on a soft sesame seed bun. Crisp lettuce, purple onion and a slice of tomato are adornments, and you have to get the little packets of Dijon or mayonnaise from the drink bar yourself. Because it's cooked to order, the chicken is piping hot, and the grilled mushrooms are a nice touch.
Sandwiches come with a pickle spear and a choice of chips, slaw or potato salad.
The latter is a delicious version made with new potatoes, scallions, garlic and just enough salt. The hot buffet on the day of our visit was Chicken Fajitas. There were warm flour tortillas, black beans, rice, grilled red and green bell peppers and onions, strips of chicken, Cheddar cheese, salsa and sour cream. Soups were Chicken Noodle and French Onion. The black beans were tender but too bland.
