Tonya’s Broadway buffet 755 West Broadway Street, Lawrenceburg, KY 40342

"On February 14th 2024, Valentines Day, my family of 4 walked into Tonya's Buffet at around 6:50pm we had no idea it closed in 10 minutes. We were literally just looking for a place to eat as a family on Valentines day. After multiple failed attempts at other restaurants due to reservations and long wait times, we found ourselves in a booth at Tonya's. I quickly realize that they were in the middle of cleaning up and customers were starting to leave. I tell the lady I had no idea they were in the middle of closing and offered to pay for my drinks and leave. She refused to let me go, told me to have a seat. As they're preparing my food I offer again to have them just put the food in a to go box and we'd take it home, again she refused to let me leave and said it wasn't no bother to them. I felt really bad at this point and would totally understand if the food came out half cooked. It didn't though, I'm a man who takes a lot of pride in the way I cook my own steak, but this ribeye my wife and I got tonight was cooked for a king. It was so good along with the potato, salad and desserts everything was made to perfection. I left a generous tip to all of the employees working late just for my family. They were satisfied with it but I don't feel it was enough. My hopes with this review to shed some light on this little hole in the wall restaurant and commend them on their service and food. Please go try them out. Thank you to all of the staff that stayed open an extra hour so my family and I could have a Valentines day dinner."

"The food is really good tasting, the place is not fancy by any means. What is needed is more diners. An the place badly needs someone to put light bulbs in."

"My wife and I came here for the first time and were completely satisfied with our breakfast orders. The buffet was a bit small, so we ordered off the menu. My wife had the biscuits and gravy and I had the western omelet. Both were outstanding, including the potatoes. My coffee was good as well. I just wish there was a bigger buffet. It just appeared to have salad, desert, and side dish offerings, which was disappointing for a buffet fanatic like me. Maybe it's just meant to be added to an order-I'm not sure. Other than that and the unsettling amount of burned out light bulbs, this is homestyle cooking at its best."

"Went here for a birthday lunch/dinner. Food was mediocre with no particular flavor. I ordered the breakfast and the pancake was ok. The Sausage left something to be desired. Even though eggs were listed, I never received them. Next, I tried the dinner buffet and nothing stood out. Mac and cheese was horrible and runny, greens were ok, fried chicken was just there and sweet potatoes were mashed with no seasoning. Overall this is not what I think of as southern cooking. Also forgot to mention that the place was extremely cold and lighting was so dim that you couldn’t see some of the parts of the restaurant. Improvements must be made. Won’t be returning anytime soon."

"Updated: came back for dinner but it was not at all the same experience from breakfast. Was very disappointed. Still think breakfast was great! This is where the locals go! Family run diner with great food and great service! Coffee was hot fast, fresh & my cup was never empty! We’ll be back to try their Buffett with the rest of the family!"
