Altoona is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Altoona follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

I stopped here for a lunch break while driving from Erie. I was here on a Wednesday around 2pm..i believe they open at 11am. You may or may not be able to see from the photos...(maybe more with the Lo mein photo) that the food is clearly leftovers from the night before. I won't say ALL but 75% of the options. I understand not wasting food or losing money, but I could not believe this establishment was okay with serving their customers this way... the presentation looked like it was left RIGHT THERE overnight. I felt bad for others being given low quality selection. If you're going to use leftovers, at least store it properly, reheat it properly, and use a NEW pan for the food so it presents well. This stop as a first timer here was a complete disappointment and mistake on my part and I personally do not recommend. I see the ratings are 4.5 stars and that may be in the evening and weekends. But for a weekday during lunch hours...I would recommend stopping ANYWHERE else over this place.

Get the fresh grill (but if u ask 4 spicy, be ready! Lol) The sushi was good, especially if you like unagi. Good assortment of other food items were ok.

I haven't been to the Gourmet Buffet in years. My sister and I went this past Saturday 6:30 30 and I was impressed. The food was fresh and hot. The buffet was well stocked and very clean. It was very good. The service was great, staff were friendly. The only disappointment was that they no longer have crab legs but I'm sure if they did the price would be much higher. It is around $21 for all can eat. I'm not a big eater but the price is great if you can eat more. Overall, I was very pleased and will return

Overall the food was great. A few items could be a bit improved. Sweet tea was amazing. The turtles in the front was a cute touch. I don't know if the coins are safe for the turtles. But overall, my daughter and I enjoyed our visit to this restaurant and I would recommend it to anyone. Ps, just a side note. Don't waste your food, as you will have to pay for wasted food.

UPDATED: I haven’t seen updated picture prices. The last one was 2 years ago. So here’s an update… YOU’RE WELCOME! Always coming here is a pleasure. The service is always staying on top of everything. It’s always clean. The desserts are a bit dry. Otherwise everything always tastes great. I enjoy coming here and look forward to more years of eating here.
