Alright so I've been here quite a few times and so far I think to stick with the hot dog, links/sausages offerings and sides. After delving off menu a few times, I think it's the most solid they have to offer. My favorites out of the hot dog is the Las Vegas chili dog or chicago dogs. I also often get the sausages, mostly hot links. Hot dogs are Boars head so they have natural casings or you can get other types without the snap, even a white hot dog/veal one. Sides wise their fried green beans with wasabi mayo is really good. To drink get Sprechers root beer off the tap! Also their raspberry ice tea isn't that regular Lipton soda fountain stuff, it's brewed so that is good too. Stick with that and I think you'll have a good dinner here. Cheap, good American type food. Seeing as they won some "best of" burgers, thought their burgers would be fantastic, but it isn't any different from any old greasy spoon. Also fish type stuff, is pre battered so not anything you can't do at home with some Gordon's. I feel like some stuff is offered, just to offer it. I thought the turkey burgers, grilled chicken sandwiches and tuna melt were decent though. My one thing about this place is that do not come at peak hours. I don't know if the owner is too cheap to hire another person but they really need more than one waitress, there's never been two waitresses I've ever seen. We went recently where it hit max capacity in this small place and she was in the weeds the whole time. It was hard to flag her down for some extra sauce, I had to wait a long time by the cash register, I just got up to serve ourselves some drinks (good thing I did not get raspberry tea that was behind the register). She already is running around like mad even when it's not a full house so they really need two people at least during the rush. It's not fair to the poor gal or to customers. I know it's not her fault, but some people were upset...and it sucks if she gets crapped on for something she cannot control at all. I'm going to stick with going only in the odd hours. I don't like going to a place and get no service. Overall though, I like this place.

I tried the $49 fast meal since I had a show to catch. The chicken was very moist... as great as chicken can get. It all came out on one plate like a combination order one would get at a Japanese restaurant which is great since I don't like to wait in between. The desserts were both refreshingly good. The service was also decent--no complaints.

WHOA! Ate here for lunch during Pacquiao fight weekend and it was the longest I've ever waited. Hour in line to pay and another hour wait to, actually, EAT! lol My cousins from SF read many good reviews bout this buffet so, didn't care about the wait. Thankfully, I wasn't starving so, I was just along for the ride. There seemed to be different items in the buffet, too. Which is great considering all the times I eat here. New items I noticed were: pork adobo, butter squash ravioli, yellow watermelon. Service is always great. Our waiter kept getting orders of different beverages orders, poor guy...see what happens when you serve hungover ppl :p They, also, raised their prices. I swear this place raises their prices every 4 months.

I'm actually pretty familiar with Genghis Grill during the old days of my Dallas misadventures. I used to frequent the place quite often, and was sorry to lose it as one of my restaurant choices when I moved to the West coast. Well, now it's back. Or here, I guess is the better way to put it. I've noticed reviews are all over the place for the restaurant, but my experience was good. We got there before the dinner crowd, so we were seated quickly and ready to be served. We did the "Build A Bowl" option, and for a $10.99 single bowl dinner price, that was more than fair, though the option to go "unlimited" is an extra $3. Basically, there are a number of meats, vegetables, sauces and starches (noodles, rice, tortilla) to chose from. You can choose how much you want of everything, and pick whatever ingredient options you want. Because of the options, you can choose a lot of related things, or go for some pretty outlandish mixtures. But it's on you if things actually go well together or not, so if you make something you don't like or didn't get enough.... Well, you made it, so there you go. I created a veritable feast of meats, with enough garlic to kill off the cast of "True Blood". You hang out, while they cook everything up on this huge circular grill, and after a few minutes, the meal is yours. The options seemed to have changed/expanded since my initial Lone Star State visits, but really, all I cared about was my self-made meal. And that's probably all I'll ever really care about during another return. Service was pleasant and appreciative. They also seem very conscientious about being respectful to food allergies. While I have none, I'm sure someone will appreciate the extra "Is this okay" check-in. Drinks were refilled quickly, the manager came over to chat and ask about our food experience. And we got out just before they got slammed with customers. And they do carry out, as long as it's not the "All You Can Eat" option. All in all, I was pretty satisfied to revisit a familiar experience. I will echo someone else's statement that I hope they open another location on the west side of town, because it's a bit of a drive, but nothing out of control. Glad for a new food option. I'll be checking it out again.
