We ate there many times. There was a good variety and the price was reasonable. The food was always of good quality and the buffet was always kept full.

This is a basic buffet. The fried chicken was always fresh and delicious. Good variety of meats and salad to choose from. One thing I noticed both times we ate at this buffet, the bars were immaculate. If something dripped or was spilled, it was cleaned immediately. Wow, what a difference this makes when eating at a buffet. Cleanliness is... More

For $12 per adult, all you can eat salad bar, entrees and desserts. It was like home-cooking - plenty of choices - a good pig-out!

My wife and I have been going to OCB for over fifteen years. Management does a pretty good job of maintaining food quality and facility cleanliness. But, there are occasional slumps as cooks and bus staff turn over. At this time - May 2012 - it's on an upswing. Recommend joining the OCB e-Club to get occasional discounts from $14.00... More

Came here for my daughters birthday and we have a big family, staff was very pleasant and the food choices are great for the money. I recommend this place and can't wait to see how the lunch and dinner menus stack up to the other buffets i have been in.

This buffet is huge....it has many selections of both hot and cold food, as well as a very large seating area that can accomodate a table for two or a group of 30+. The restaurant is clean and food is tasty and fresh.

We've been going to the OCB in the Fair City Mall in Fairfax City for over a dozen years. It's very good for what it purports to be - a buffett serving basic food selections at low prices. That means lots of chicken selections, a very good salad bar, spaghetti and meatloaf on a regular basis, hamburgers and hot dogs... More

Over past fifteen years, my family and I have spent many enjoyable hours (not to mention a fair amount of money) at Old Country Buffet in Fairfax, VA restaurant. I know their associates, cook, waiter(s), and etc. and think of them as part of my family, so I was all the more shocked by my incredibly disappointing experience on Saturday... More
