This was my first time at Empire Buffet with my family and it was a wonderful experience. It had a lot of variety, especially if you come during normal hours when the food is fresh. The servers were the best part of the experience. They made sure everything was okay at our table and were very inviting. A lot of the food complaints seem to come from people who arrive right before closing and expect everything to still be perfect. When we tipped, the servers were noticeably happy, which says a lot about how hard they work and how rarely they’re appreciated.
