Seafood bar

Seafood at Royal Buffet and Grill

The seafood bar is one of the main draws at Royal Buffet and Grill. Snow crab legs are the signature item — here is what to know before you visit.

Seafood bar note: Snow crab legs and other premium seafood items are typically available at dinner service and on weekends. Availability is subject to supply and may run out during busy sessions. Confirm current offerings with your location before visiting.

The seafood bar at Royal Buffet and Grill typically includes Snow Crab Legs, steamed shell-on shrimp, baked salmon, fried catfish, clam chowder, and fish and chips. Snow crab legs are drawn butter-ready and served with cocktail sauce and lemon.

For the best seafood selection, visit during dinner service on a weekday or weekend. Seafood items are replenished throughout service but can run low during peak evening hours at popular locations. Arriving early — at or shortly after the dinner buffet opens — gives you the best access to crab legs before supply runs out.

Beverage service and tips for servers are customary even at buffet restaurants — confirm tipping customs at your location.

  • Snow Crab Legs — most requested item, dinner/weekends
  • Steamed Shrimp — shell-on with cocktail sauce
  • Baked Salmon — lemon herb, consistently available
  • Fried Catfish — Southern-style, American station crossover
  • Clam Chowder — creamy New England style at soup station
  • Tip: Arrive early at dinner for best crab leg availability
Sushi station

Sushi and Japanese at the buffet

The sushi station is included in the buffet admission at most Royal Buffet and Grill locations. Here is what to expect at the Japanese station.

Most popular rolls

Signature Rolls

California Roll (crab, avocado, cucumber), Spicy Tuna Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll, and Rainbow Roll are the standard offerings. All served with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.

Nigiri & sashimi

Nigiri and Sashimi

Salmon Nigiri and Tuna Sashimi are common at most locations. Availability and variety of the nigiri and sashimi station may be reduced during lunch vs. dinner service.

Japanese sides

Edamame & Miso Soup

Steamed salted edamame and classic miso soup with tofu and wakame are typically available alongside the sushi station. Miso soup is a good first stop to warm up before the buffet.

Dietary options

Vegetarian and vegan options at Royal Buffet and Grill

The buffet format gives vegetarians and vegans strong flexibility. Here is what to look for across the stations.

Royal Buffet and Grill's buffet format is unusually accommodating for vegetarians — the salad bar, sushi vegetable rolls, edamame, fruit station, and dessert bar alone provide a full meal without meat. The Chinese hot bar typically includes steamed vegetable dishes and fried rice (often prepared with egg). The hibachi grill station can prepare hibachi vegetables on request.

For vegan diners, the cleanest picks are the garden salad bar (check dressings), fresh fruit, edamame, and vegetable sushi rolls. Cross-contamination is possible in a shared buffet environment — speak with staff if you have a serious allergy or dietary restriction.

Cross-contact is inherent in buffet dining. Confirm ingredient details with the restaurant if you have allergies or strict dietary needs.

  • Vegetarian: Vegetable Roll, California Roll, Edamame
  • Vegetarian: Garden Salad Bar, Pasta Salad, Fruit Salad
  • Vegetarian: Mac & Cheese, Mashed Potatoes, Corn
  • Vegetarian: Dessert bar — ice cream, cakes, cheesecake
  • Vegan: Fresh Fruit Platter, Edamame, Vegetable Roll
  • Vegan: Fortune Cookies, garden salad (no dairy dressing)

Ordering tips

How to get the most out of your Royal Buffet and Grill visit

Best timing

Arrive at dinner opening

Snow crab legs and other premium seafood are most plentiful at the start of dinner service. Arriving when dinner opens — typically around 4:30-5 PM — gives you access to fully stocked stations before the evening rush.

Strategy

Start with lighter items

Begin with sushi, salad bar, and miso soup before hitting the heavier Chinese hot bar and American stations. You'll sample more variety and avoid filling up too quickly on starches and fried items.

Best value

Lunch buffet for budget visits

Lunch admission is typically priced lower than dinner at most buffets. If snow crab legs are not a priority, the lunch buffet offers the full Chinese hot bar, sushi station, and American comfort food at a lower per-person cost.

Grill station

Place your grill order early

The hibachi grill station prepares items to order. Place your grill request early in your meal to avoid a wait during peak service — grilled shrimp and teriyaki chicken are the fastest to prepare.

Groups

Call ahead for large parties

For groups of 10 or more, calling the restaurant ahead of your visit is recommended to ensure adequate seating is available. Most Royal Buffet and Grill locations are walk-in only for smaller groups.

Savings

Ask about senior and child discounts

Most locations offer reduced admission for children and seniors. Confirm the current age cutoff and discount amount directly with your nearest location before your visit.
