I love the food options, and the desert option is huge! Don't forget about the Sushi. All you can eat for $14.50.
Good selection of food, fair pricing, and lots of seating. Overall a good experience.
Very good Buffet in saskatoon.
Great food but if u go late it starts to get cold and bad and they don't always fill if certain ones run out. Go during busy hours for fresh food
Was amazing food but very expensive for me my wife and daughter with no extras was over 50$ so be prepared to spend $
We were directed to pay right away, there was no posting of Sunday's lunch price. The price was exceptionally high and the food was way below the standard I have enjoyed there previously.
The hot foods were iffy, service was great and desserts were epic. If you're craving dessert, this is the best place to go.
Always good food and a good price. Might not be the best quality, but there is a good vareity.
Two words. Food Poisoning.
Just ok. Typical, Chinese and Canadian buffet restaurant. Food hasn't changed for last 9 years. Lots of desserts!
Food was good and fresh. Plenty of options for everyone.
Not much for gluten free options
Very nice selection.
The Chinese food didn't taste Chinese
It’s what you expect from a buffet. It’s not anything that you would get for a fancy meal, it’s not anything that will leave you craving more, and it’s nothing special at all. There is a lot to choose from, but the wide variety of food kind of lowers the overall quality of each item, in my opinion. It’s good enough for a filling meal, if you’re starving, but there isn’t much that makes me want to go back for more. Decent prices, overall, and it’s not too bad, but it’s nothing special at all.
Makes sense there was lots of shrimp and fish and stuff. We enjoyed our meal
Good food lot of varieties
Our son first buffet and he loved the seafood
There are better options for buffet in saskatoon.
It was great other than nobody coming around to see if we wanted our water topped up.
Always a happy customer when we leave there... awsome food always
Quite possibly the best buffet in the world. Wow!
I like this place, I'd have to say my favorite now out of all the buffets in Stoon. Reasonable prices, good selection of food, free refills with the drinks. My favorite now.
Food is mediocre, but choices of fruits and desserts are plentiful. Coconut bun is my favourite...
Our family always books here for my grandpa's birthday. They are always super welcoming and helpful! The managers are super helpful. I was able to come in early to decorate in our own personal room as well. The food is great, be sure to try the chicken! The only downside is that there isn't very many vegetarian options. Although, staff are knowledgeable in what is vegetarian friendly which is always nice.
Great buffet ,reasonable price. Efficent waitresses. Will return
I love this place, recommend it to all people looking for a good buffet, staff are amazing ! The coconut buns are LIT !
Small but good variety of food. Salad, cooked vegetables, chicken, beef, pork, sushi options.
Food is cold and greasy and no flavour.
Almost everything we ate was cold or lukewarm. Most of the food had a film over it because it had been sitting under the warmer for a while and was not fresh. It was also extremely expensive. We will not be returning.
It's pretty good. It should be rib day every day tho
Delicious food, tonights menu included Ukrainian Christmas items. Quick service and no dishes to clean. Very friendly staff.
Good for a terrific and filling meal.... I'm still full 4 hours later....
My boyfriend & I always enjoy our dinners, excellent food & service
I will start with the good, the sticky toffee pudding was amazing. The food was mediocre for the most part with a mix of American and Asian. Many things are the frozen then deep fried variety that you would expect. But the borscht was gag inducing. I love borscht but I have never encountered borscht with BBQ sauce. I had one mouthful and gagged. My friend thought I had to be joking, tried a mouthful and after several minutes of trying to get the taste of of her mouth agreed it tasted like BBQ sauce. Not a little bit for flavour but like that pot had never even encountered a beet.
The food is less than adequate....but the waitress was pretty hot
Friendly staff, nice variety of food. Easy choice for a quick lunch.
The food is okay when you need a quick meal. Seemed clean. Bright.
This is an awesome buffet. There is an amazing choice of foods that are very tasty and fresh. Service is remarkable considering how many customers are in the restaurant. There are three seating areas making roomy comfortable eating for everyone. You won't leave hungry.
Great service, great menu!
Awesome and delicious as always!!❤❤
Used to be great. But food is now is of less quality.
Service is lacking especially if you're tucked out of waitresses line of sight, waitress sat us, brought us drinks and we never saw her again. Staff at register lacks customer service. Demanded the money without as much as making simple conversation of "how was your meal?"
My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary here in July with about three dozen or so friends and relatives. The larger conference room was perfect for our needs, especially with the manned bar, the sound system and giant video screen. The owner very kindly offered us the use of a huge Oriental banner from China, which overjoyed my wife. The staff were wonderful. All in all, we were very happy with the entire experience... and no one left hungry!
Nice for Chinese buffet Little bit expensive for what you're getting Waiting staff all huddled together talking most of the night instead of waiting tables. Made difficult trying to get things from them
Great place to eat, a bit expensive but worth it in the end!
The selection was not as big as other buffets around and the food quality was okay. Nothing to complain or rave about.
Basic bland food. We went to be able to satisfy everyone in our party, especially with the fussy folks. It was ok. Nothing great. Nothing horrible.
Was ok...... no meat selections , a little disappointed... pay before you eat,great idea
Nice relaxing friendly place to eat ... my son and I ate their 2 x today
We stop in almost every trip to Saskatoon, food selection is excellent, fresh and if you go for the evening meal, every night has a different featured item. My husband likes their sushi and coconut buns, I love their borscht!
Fresh variety but no rice pudding on day I visited :(
Lots of item selection. Has a sushi bar. Also has a ice cream and yogurt machine. Food is usually hot and service usually good. The chicken they have is divine and full of flavour.
Great buffet! Great selection of dishes!
Pretty decent buffet, good for going out with family. The prime rib night is great. The selection is not bad either, they have a lot of really good desserts. The coconut buns are great.
Service was good..but chicken was dry..overall good food.
Great food. Short wait times.
I paid too much money on flavourless food
Friendly staff and lots to choose from definitely coming back!
Surprised me. For $65 our family of 4 was able to have supper. None of the food blew me away but none of it disappointed me either. A solid buffet and a great place to take your kids.
Selection if food was good. Some dishes were great while others were mediocre. If you want a buffet, this is a great option.
This place is a diamond in the rough! My favourite buffet in Saskatoon. Amazing food and great staff!
Food is quite good and kids enjoyed it but the price has crept up to what I think of as 'once a year special'.
I've gone to Smiley's a few times, and it has been pretty good each time. They have a large variety of foods there, westernized Chinese and North American. They have a sushi station too, which I've never tried. Lots of deserts, everything I've tried tastes great. The only downside is that the parking lot sucks, and be hard to find a spot during the busy hours.
Great chicken!! Fair prices & nice resturuant
The food is good and the price is not bad.
Excellent buffet in good price
excellent
Food was dry and tasteless, you could tell it sat for awhile, good service
Best buffet in Saskatoon! They have a decent selection of both Canadian and Chinese food. It's great for breakfast/brunch as they typically have eggs Benedict - which i happen to LOVE. Ownership keeps the facility up to date.
Omg it was really delicious I wanna come back love to food
Food isn't very good here, it has only declined in the last few years. Definitely not worth 18 dollars for the buffet.
Great place to eat always satisfied
Smiley's Buffet has great prices and a wide assortment of foods. I can't think of any other place where you could eat perogees and fresh sushi.
Great all you can eat place
Price was high and breakfast was so so .and the mattress in the hidebed was terible and asked if the would put one of those memory foams .But they ignored me
One of my favourite buffets. Primarily western food, but good Asian selection as well. Also has a fresh sushi bar and a far too good dessert area. Tons of seating, great for large groups to couples. Huge recommend to anyone.
Service was good, food ok. Fish filets left something to be desired.
Way too many awesome selections! I always overeat. From sushi to hot, juicy crispy fried chicken there is something for everyone. Don't even start me on the dessert selections...too many to decide. We base our Saskatoon visits with Smiley's as our destination. We call it the buffet that brings me to my knees.
Quick and friendly place to sit and eat
The chicken was really good :D
I dont know if Smiley's is just over the top fresh on Sundays because its Sunday or if this is an always thing, but I have to say one of the best food buffets I've had the pleasure of sitting down and consuming!! I will need to go back on another day to confirm this is a consistent experience but for now....Wow!! I do recommend they remind their staff to smile...this should be a realistic expectation with the name!
Delicious, hot food! Lots of selection. Their sushi is some of the best I've ever had!
Really good tasting buffet... one of the top 3 in Saskatoon
Dubious food, kept at below average temperatures. Would not recommend
Was there on Tuesday steak night....splendid
Lovely and tasty varieties of food.
Awesome place for all you can eat and great sushi
Not as big selection as expected from such a big establishment, some of the food felt really dried out and over cooked. Most of the wait staff was amazing and cordial except for one lady who kept on complaining and scoffing about the children. Not planning on returning that's for sure.
The food was tastey but not the variety it used to have. Service was minimal. The total cost was much too high. A mandatory tip was added to the total.
Great variety for a Sunday brunch, from traditional breakfast choices to sushi and desserts. Even an omelette bar
The servers were very good, but I found the food was not the greatest.
Great food, clean everything and very friendly staff.
It was great. There was more than enough options to be a Keto friendly place for my OMAD when I pass through Saskatoon. The black coffee is the tastiest ever (besedes my fresh ground, french press at home coffee).
For 25 bucks a plate . Yhe food could be more fresh
If you're looking to clog your arteries, Smiley's is for you. I don't see what there's to smile about. Everything is deep fried, and the sushi is dissappoining. Might as well ot even put anything on the roll because the salmon is paper thin, all I taste is rice. The rolls are so full of rice yoy might as well kust get a bowl of it. You pay for what you get though. Cheap proce for poor quality food. 3 stars because it's literally a buffe of Chinese take out.
Great selection of different foods. Excellent value!
Go here for a quick lunch as my partner & i have different food preferences Smiley's is a good quick choice. We enjoy the food. Value for money!
Selection was small food was mediocre and the price was high would not go back .
Good food the service staff were friendly and accommodating
Always a good choice if you are hungry. If you dont find what you like you are not hungry.
Good quality and you have lot options !!*
Great buffet. Food is amazing, staff is friendly!
Wasn't impressed..compared to other Chinese food, portion was small with too much rice, dry ribs were coated in strong sauce, too sweet
Food was good, service was excellent. Came in with a group of about a dozen and they were wonderful about giving us a whole room to ourselves and refilling our coffee pot whenever we needed it, they even took pictures for us. Definitely good for a brunch with the family
It was just fine, to fill you is ok, looking for something tastier, go somewhere else.
Worst meal ever had there. We were embarrassed as we took people there
Good food. Friendly staff. Usually loud and busy
Typical buffet, old mushy food, under cook over cook, sitting for way to long! 17 for an adult meal I could barley find one thing I wanted to put on my plate.
If you value quantity over quality, this is the place for you.
where to begin. the service is absolutely horrible. we waited to be seated for almost 7 minutes and when we finally were seated, she said " *sigh* this way." then when we arrived at our table? she just left, audibly sighing again. nobody came and asked us for drinks, We waited 5 minutes or so and nobody. so we went to the front counter and asked for some drinks, the guy said "oh yeah right away." after 10 minutes and nearly finishing our food, still no drinks. we go to pay our bill, we were charged for drinks we never received. and the guy argued with us trying to tell us we did get them! Since when is it ok to argue aggressively with your customers? over cola!?!? Credit where credit is due, the food was decent buffet quality food. but with service that awful? i'll take my business somewhere where i don't have to prove i didn't get something i was charged for. ridiculous.
Good tasting Fried chicken and desserts
Incredible service, and great food!
Loved this place! Everything was delicious and fresh. Very friendly staff.
Very good food. Very good service
Good food and staff. Licensed. Party room available. Great desserts.
Wife and I came here for a nice buffet dinner and we were really happy - food was very fresh, even though it was really busy, but they kept it all fresh and stocked up. We will definitely be coming here again.
Their fried chicken was really fried, so fried it was hard and dry. And I like chicken! Their rice and noodles lacked flavor! The walls are dirty and the casing/molding or whatever has a layer or 4 of dust, same with their fake windows. It wouldnt be that hard to wipe them down when they do the tables. DISGUSTING
The food was subpar and the server was not friendly
Very good buffet!!!! Just wow!!! After two years... here we go again. This time I met a very nice person who works here. Her name is Sonia. Thanks for being so pleasant to us. We had a great meal and great time.
We come here about 2 to 3 times a year. Sometimes as a family, sometimes in big gatherings. The staff is really nice and management is very accommodating. They have one big banquet room that can be broken into two rooms. For smaller groups …
10 Stars! Place is clean, Service is awesome, price is right and the food is delicious!! Sure to put a Smile on anyones face ???????? Today was my first visit of many ❤
I think is expensive and the food not that good
Above average food at a great price. An excellent place for a teen birthday supper
Suishi is bang on, plus the variety of food is always good. Plus they have slush for the kiddies!!
Its really not that good. Some of the food was cold and seemed like it sat for a long time. The place is clean and the staff are nice but its just not a play i enjoy or come my choice. Today we had a family engagement.
Expensive. Food was stale Smell of Old people
Selection for early afternoon is limited. Noodles are a bit dry.
Excellent...far better than the Asian Buffet here in Saskatoon. Costs less too.
Food has always been great. But I'm not sure why they would have the baby change table located inside the handicap stall in the women's washroom. Had to change my child half in the sink because someone was either in the stall or the door was locked.
All you can eat buffet.
It's ok nothing special for the price
Always great food and lots of it! One of my faves in Toon town!
Too greasy for me. Meat is poor quality. Not overly friendly. I will not be returning.
I was in Saskatoon to move my son home and we ate here before we left. Big variety of foods, staff was very friendly and the price for the buffet was just right.
This place used to be really good, now it's extremely underwhelming. For $18.99 a person. You think you'd have more than 16 options. Everything is dry. Super Salty. And just plain over done. VERY DISSATISFIED.
Poor food ....tasted sour
Worst visit so far. The food was a disappointment and the service was just not there. Maybe it's the result of having to prepay effecting the staffs drive to impress customers so they will get a tip. No offer to fill water glasses, or coffee, and husband had to ask for more pop.
Friendly service, lots of choices for food and handy cap park available plus spacious parking out back.
Horrible food and it was way overpriced for what you get
With Covid measures in place, you are served from the buffet by staff. Prices have gone up!
Great food so much variety and great service
Very good selection of food.
Awesome buffets Chinese and canadian cuisine great dessert bar and soft ice cream
Good buffet. Really enjoy the variety and sushi
My picky eaters filled their bellies! Mom and Dad are very happy.
alot of great food, enjoy.
Poor selection of items. Ran out of potatoes at 1:15 p.m. A gallon of gravy remained.
Nice buffet variety with options ranging from Chinese to Ukranian. Conference facilities and staff were good.
Great service and food highly recommended
I don't find anything special here. None of the food stands out with great taste. I just called this food, If you need to fill your belly this is where you do it. For take out, they have the sushi and their chicken, but I don't believe that their Chinese is for takeout. Overall, I think the food is Bland.
Great place to eat. Good food friendly service
To those wondering, the buffet is $18.99 per adult.
Decent food. Decent price. So far the best buffet we have found in the city.
My kids fave restaurant❤
Good smorg with many choices. Both western and chinese selections
Out of the three times I’ve been here it’s been pretty good. Pizza is not my favourite but other than that I loved the other food! Definitely will be back when in town next
Good food. Reasonable price. Great for groups.
Smiley 's is not a place to go if you're Celiac for there are very few options.
Open buffet with variaties for both vegetarian and meat lovers
Good clean buffet with several options.
Disgusting. Feel ill after eating here, very expensive for burnt food and food that must have been sitting out for awhile. Will never come back, would rather burn my money.
Service was great and fast. The price was way too high. The quality of food was awful. The fries were way too salty. The chicken balls were hard as a rock and most things were bland. The sushi and dessert was the best part. Extremely disappointing. Not worth the price. Most exspensive buffet I have ever been to. Steaks were tender at least and clean bathrooms. Don't think I'll come back though. You have to pay upfront for a drink you may not even want. The lemon chicken had no lemon flavour at all.
Staff was great. Food was awesome. Liked the place
Best sea food ???? in town
Pretty good food, great staff!
Was there as part of an event for nonprofit organization. Food was good and the staff were very cooperative and polite.
I have been to Smiley's for several events and I don't find Smiley's food particularly well prepared. Nothing stands out as good and some things are quite dissapoining. If I am craving something that Smiley's serves I will always opt to go to a restaurant that specializes in that food instead.
For a buffet, is pretty good. Was pleased to see they changed a few items on their tables. for a while it was always the same. Sushi bar is great and the Vietnamese cold rolls are good too.
A superb selection of food at their buffet, for a respectable price.
Stay away from the cabbage rolls, rest of the food is decent. Watch what they charge you for, hidden charges.
Went on seafood Friday. As with any buffet there was stuff I loved ???? and stuff I could do without. The lemon pepper basa was excellent. I really loved their beet borsh. Their mashed potatoes weren't very good nor their gravy. Their rice pudding was pretty good as well.
Well it is a great place if u can eat a lot! Value for money. And they have varieties too! Different types of cuisines- starting from japanese sushi, chinese noodles to very much western fried chicken ! Dessert is also there- good to see that they have options for non dairy as well as less/unsweetened dessert options! Food is okay! Service is ???? good! Oh and u can order liquor too ????
Friendly, clean eatery. We had a wonderful meal and even better conversation
Good variety and very clean and pleasant
Very slow service! Food was a bit burnt
Attended this buffet for the first -and last- time yesterday. The food was flavorless, watered down, greasy and a number of other awful combinations. Jello was dry, chow mein was flavorless and greasy, Singapore noodles were completely flavorless. Many of the meats looked as if they had been out well past expiring. We were there for a Christmas gathering and I noticed several other large parties mid dinner time! We started shortly after 6 so there is no excuse for old food. The veggies at the salad bar were mushy and far from fresh tasting. The desserts were obviously old, the rice pudding had formed a hard, dark brown layer and should not have been out to be served. The only thing that was worth eating was the soft serve. Ice cream at $17.50 unlimited at a buffet is a little much... luckily I was here for a work dinner and had my dinner paid for so no money lost on my part. Very thankful to have spent time with my co-workers and glad for their company, just not the food. Will not be back.
Varied selection. sushi sublime. soups are lacking.
Great place for food, lots of choices on the buffet. Everyone (14 of us) was 'fed-up' when we left. As a former ice cream man, this is the best place in town for soft-serve, bar none.
Server was great, lots of choices but could use some updates
Love it it's sooooo good!
We had dinner and the baked pork belly was delicious and crunchy
Always fresh and delicious with great variety.
Clean always busy, very polite.
Worst chinese food in the city, but the sushi wad not to bad.
I like the variety of foods they have in the buffet.
16th Birthday party for the grandkid. 40+ folks. Phil & his staff did a fantastic job of looking after all our needs including supplying the sparkler for his cake. Food was great as always.
Its like the food has changed, but it still has the variety choice. Best to go when the buffet starts. Friendly staff and good service...
Great place for a buffet! Only costs $17.5/adult for a buffet and it has a very friendly staff. The meat is (unfortunately) not halal, but the seafood and vegetarian options are very nice. However, we did have to ask for the cheese pizza.
This is my favorite buffet in Saskatoon and should be on the hit list of all visitors to the city! The variety of food is fantastic right from fresh made Sushi, Chinese, chicken, fish, pizza to only name a few.
Great place nice staff delicious food
Food was great good place to eat
I’m giving this place a 5 star just for good friendly service, tonight was my first time here and half way through our meal the manager asked if we mind moving to a smaller booth we had no issues he ended up giving us our meals for free the food was warm lots of variety and it was clean
Usually a good selection of food that everyone would like. Decent sushi. Lots of desserts. Clean.
Usually pretty good buffet with good selection
Good food, good service. Lots of parking in the back when I went tonight.
Laid-back but friendly atmosphere. It's a huge buffet. Not the Great Buffet Of China but it's still more than enough food to choose from (see the pictures). Try the fried chicken! I loved it.
A huge thank you to Smiley's Restaurant for catering to the wedding we had on August 26 2017. Your catering service was fantastic from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious and enjoyed by everyone. I absolutely recommend Smiley's for the food and catering service. Kathy H
I love this place. The food are so good. The vibes are good and cozy. The staff are friendly especially Nina! It's a good place for business meeting or conference but also family-friendly. Everytime the consulate general came from my country, we booked this place.
Excellent as always! Huge selection, fresh delicious food!
Pretty good prices, really good selection, typically mediocre buffet food. Full American selection plus decent Chinese buffet and standard salad bar. Good desert selection. Terrible sushi. Good hours.
Awesome experience, you can go as many rounds as you prefer with zero hesitation from the staffs
Wanted a fast place with lots of choices and boy did we find it! Great food. Excellent selections
Not the greatest buffet to eat at.
Great food & a wonderful selection!
Lots to choose from and great service free refills on drinks
Excellent
Great food and service. The restaurant was very clean and the food was very good. They have allot of staff serving from behind a counter to keep things safe with covid. It was a great experience and I highly recommend :)
Very good food nice place.
Excellent food, great selection. ????
This place is soo clean and all the staff members are soo respectful. I love it this!! Even the bathrooms were super clean too, wow. Food was sooooo gooooood omg. I cant wait to come back! ????
I'm full. Full of happiness. I ate until I hate myself.
Great selection of food and friendly staff ????
Wonderful food definitely stopping here again next time I'm in Saskatoon
I found it absolutely terrible. I paid $40 for my boyfriend and i to go out and eat cold food? The plates we grabbed were dirty so we grabbed other ones that didn’t seem clean either. The food LOOKED appealing but when we started to eat it, it was cold and had some to almost no flavour. I didn’t want to argue with the staff so I just paid and left, but left hungry and with a stomach ache.
Fantastic food. Pleasantly surprised
Food is good and always warm, never disappoints. And the staff are always friendly.
The food is ok.. nothing to write home about that for sure. The staff was nice. The ladies behind what they call a sushi bar were rude. The choices for food are ok. The best part was probably the slushies and the coconut buns. I mean if you aren't a picky eater 23$ for all you can eat is a great deal
Great food great staff
Great experience. The buffet was simply awesome.good one
Without a doubt the biggest and best buffet in the city with the most options.
The place is nice, foods are yummy, server are very good, and they have wide parking, happy ????????????????
A little more seafood selection than most of these buffets.
After Bonanza burned down, I tried many different buffets and this one is the new Go to place for The Boys
I feel that they are over priced for the food you get. Been once before and wasn't super impressed and thought I'd try it again but once again not wanting to go back.
Definitely good food really busy.
Good service, nice variety of food for all taste buds!
It's a buffet and all you can eat. Bring the family and fill up....!
Always great service and lots of tasty and fresh food choices
Great place to eat. Family friendly good service.
It is very good . The best place I have eaten Service very good . servers excellent with great personality. Highly recommended
Food quality is variable. They serve a wide range of foods. They have a breakfast chef, who makes eggs dishes, waffles and related.
Loved the ambience and they also had varieties to choose from.
Very good selection of hot foods. Fried chicken was amazing. Dry ribs delish. All Chinese food was very fresh, egg rolls hot and full of tastey filling, crisp outside, not greasy at all, stir fry chicken full of quality white meat, same with chicken balls pure breast meat, fried rice so yummy, many lovely sushi pieces again kept full nothing run out, 2 kinds of soup, amazing ribs as it was Rib Tuesday, Greek and honey garlic thick big ribs tender and seasoned perfectly and everything was just replenished very quickly so it was all excellent. Extremely good salad bar, many fruits, watermelon, pineapple, melons and tons of fresh veg plus many different salads like macaroni, marinated beans, loads more. Their fried fish was moist and tastey, perogiese cooked to perfection, lovely real mash potatoes, potato wedges crisp on the outside tender and moist inside, too many dishes to name but most of all I was impressed with how the food was kept refilled despite the place being very busy. Lovely dessert choices, pies, cakes, ice cream, sticky toffee pudding, delish creamy rice pudding, tarts, cupcakes and more again all kept clean and loaded up. They didnt run out of a thing. FAR FAR BETTER VALUE THAN SABAROSOS WHOSE BAR DISHES ARE DRY AND SEEM DAYS OLD. Free pop with your meal plus a good choice of drinks you add on. Staff at Smilies was not attentive but really they aren't needed. I never saw my server again after I sat down so tipped accordingly. Would have preferred to tip cooks and fellows running to keep the food all so lovely and replenished. Best value place I have eaten at. The decor is really old, a bit run down looking and ugly but clean enough and the place is huge and you have plenty of room to move despite the place being very busy. I know I'm missing listing a lot of food choices but I would FULLY AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. $17.50 for adult. I see there is a senior 65 plus discount and they get free add on drinks too. Go hungry. You won't ne disappointed. I wish they would make the decor nicer and that the staff was more interested in taking away used plates but again, not a biggy as you can just drop your own plate in a bus tray sitting all over and you can get fresh plates and cutlery yourself. If you want to order more drinks you might have to hunt the server down. My guy was really cold and bored sounding but I didnt care. Food made up for it.
Amazing choice of food!! Fresh fruit and veggies!! Drinks taste amazing. Family friendly and date friendly!!
Food is really good, and always fresh and hot! Almost too hot sometimes. Only downfall is the dinner buffet price is too high for the food and service you receive. The quality is good but it’s food you could buy for like $9 at a Chinese …
Good food...steak and shrimp day..Good service..clean !
The experience was awesome when when had our dinner first time on a weekends. Then we visited Smiley's during weekdays (Monday) and the quality of the food was not as desirable as before.
Great food and great staff.
Place is clean food is good nice variety of desert
Great food and excellent service! Always a nice selection of choices from Chinese food to pizza to perogies. Something for everyone. Also, the sushi bar is delicious! Fresh made sushi and cold rolls. Plenty to choose from.
Meal and waitress were great. We think the way your set up to serve is a better way for customers . Good job
Service was impeccable. Friendly servers. Thanks Smileys.
Great food and great customer service lots of food choices.
Great buffet ,,, and to my surprise fresh fruit shusi,,, didn't even know there was such a thing,,,,,lunch with the boys ,,
Place is alright, average mass produced buffet food that tastes like its all the same. I usually stop in if I pass through Saskatoon I never leave feeling that satisfied.
Thank you Smileys, for working so hard to keep us safe in Covid19, everything so clean and orderly. Had a wonderful meal, we left full and satisfied.
Food is great. good selection. If you dont like it then stay home and eat bean sprouts.
On first glance it looked appealing with a good selection but that's it.. plates stacked to serve with were dirty... won ton soup was mush... everything else was super greasy and tasteless... plus 40.00 for two ppl to eat lunch
I gots a buffet. No covid. I was happy. I waddled home. I was so full.
Awesome restaurant food is so delicious. Service was friendly n fast. ????
Gets 3 star. Had bones in the lemon rice soup. Otherwise really good
Excellent service and friendly staff
Good Food there fish is not Deepfried it takes Horrible, i don't reccomend there Food Deep frying is Horrible, smarten up or Shut down?
For a buffet place, their sushi is just amazing! I can't believe I have never been here in 9 years! Definitely give it a try! The food here are overall more flavorful than great China buffet(but you might found it's too salty for you which I don't mind), my thoughts? 1. Keep up the good work with that sushi. 2. Calamari is too salty, even for me. 3. Their pop is free refill! Last time I checked, great China buffet didn't have it and their liquor is at a reasonable price. 4. They have beet and my kid loves it! 5. Their Thai mussel is definitely the best in town! If you don't mind little bit spice, give it a try, I ate three whole plates and still didn't have enough of it!
Great food and large variety of dishes.
Wanted a fast place with lots of choices and boy did we find it!
Absolutely awful, went with my boyfriend and there was a fly in his food, and to make it worse when he went to tell a staff member they did absolutely nothing!!! Will never go back again
Delicious food all the time. Always fresh hot food as it is brought out in small amounts as needed. Good service and friendly staff
Good food and friendly staff, the kung pao chicken was lit.
Charged adult price for anyone over the age of 11!! Never be back!!!
Delicious food and great variety
Good variety and best desserts of all the buffet restaurants!
I think they only people who give this place a higher rating are either people who have no taste or people who have not eating in days. Food is so under seasoned. Great for kids but for the price you will leave disappointed.
Lots of options Would definitely go back ????????
The best buffet I have been too. Wonderful selection of Chinese and Canadian cuisines. It is also licensed for alcohol and wine. There are also private banquet rooms for rent. Love the shrimp cold rolls.
Lovely food, great selection.
Love this place awesome food you'd never leave hungry
Love going there a great selection of foods and deserts
A great buffet! Extensive selection and variety. Salids and vegetables, Chinese food, meat, chicken, fish, pizza, deserts, ice cream. Also a Sushi bar. Seafood buffet Friday nights that I'm looking forward to going back for.
Is it possible to give negative stars!?!? I am appalled by the service here. Took my two young sons for supper last night (2 and 7). The 7 year old was following the server to the table to be seated with my 2 year old behind him and myself following. When we almost get to the table my 2 year old trips and falls on his face and starts screaming and crying ( he was also holding a large toy car that hit his face) so I pick him up and console him in the booth, getting him to calm down. It lasted all of 20 to 30 seonds until I got him calm enough to ask what was hurting so I could check him, when I heard a tapping on the table. I ignored it because as a dad my child comes first, especially when hurt, yet the incessant tapping continued as well as someone asking a question. I took a couple more seconds to make sure my 2 year old was good and turned to see the server standing at the table tapping a pen on the table saying "drinks?". I put aside my annoyance and politely asked my 7 year old what he would like to drink. He asks the server "what kind of pop do you have?" She says "Pepsi". I said "Pepsi. Only Pepsi?" She sighs and says "Pepsi products". I take a deep breath and ask "what would that entail"? (She still is tapping the pen on the table) She replies " Pepsi, sprite..." Then paused for about 5 seconds and when she realized I was going to wait quickly says "root beer, dr. Pepper." My son asks for his drink and the adventure begins. I go and get a plate, and have a nice piece of fried chicken on it. I eat some of the food on the plate, then go to dive into the fried chicken, and that's when I see it. A hair. Now I have long hair so I initially thought it was mine, So i go to pick it off...and it's fried into the batter. That's it, appetite ruined. I nicely wait and allow my kids to eat their full and get deserts etc. I waited until there was no one else and the table directly beside us as they were almost done when this happened, then I nicely pointed out to the server that there was a hair in the deep fried batter of the chicken. She picks it up, tries to pull the hair out and can't , shrugs her shoulders and says "oh well" and walks off and dumps the plate out. Seriously, I don't even have words to describe my frustration. For the simple fact that there were a lot of little kids there and what appeared to be a night for mothers of some sort ( judging by the room of moms dressed up and the roses to be given to them) I couldn't say anything because it probably wouldn't have been good. I've been to this buffet a lot and my older son who wasn't with us at the time has this place as his eatery of choice, yet I will NEVER go back. I will tell every person I know to stay away, I won't go for my kids sports roundups, nothing. I have read a lot of reviews on here and not once has the owner ever responded. I don't expect him too, especially if this is the kind of service you get. Completely disgusted and will let everyone know.
Very nice place good food friendly staff
Good food and relaxing atmosphere
Food was excellent. Different variety of food from Chinese to beef. Very clean. Friendly staff. Definitely will go again.
Great food. Nice staff. Nice GF options.
I used to eat at smileys every time I went to Saskatoon was in town last night so as usual I ate there thus time it was terrible the quality sure took a downfall I'm not gonna bash them all day but I will never go back to smileys again
clean, good food, several choices, pleasant staff
Every time I'm in Saskatoon I have to stop here for one meal. The large amount of options on the buffet that they present means you can go a couple times and not try everything. The food itself has always been good quality. By that I mean it is thoroughly cooked, tastes great, and is presented well. The staff are also a bonus here. They are polite and generally have a pleasant attitude.
I had some good food here.... I couldn't sample it all because I would have been overstuffed. I really enjoyed the shrimp and calamari. ????
Fantastic food great service. A++++++????????????
Food are good and the environment is not bad.
Wonton soup had lemon grass added to the meat, same as the spring rolls, instant stomach ache not to impressed with the changes, bring back the old cook that made great food
Awesome food good waitresses . Lots of food. Yummy food.
Great buffet, little bit of something for everyone. The fried chicken is great. Needs better parking situation though
Wasn't the best buffet def needs a little more tlc Loved the unlimited slushy machines tho.
Eaten here a few times. Always a big selection, decent enough service. You can eat keto here if you’re following keto.
great food with Covid precautions.
Good quality buffet, wide selection. Food can sometimes be a little dry but overall still decent. Pricing is comparable to the area. Supper cost around $20, lunch is possibly cheaper? Haven't been there during lunch. Can get very busy …
I was happy with my meal. I was disappointed in myself. I wasn't able to eat enough. Everything I had was awesome. I didn't get to have everything. There was some punk kid filling up the icecream station. Fell sorry for the staff on that …
Great place to go! Clean, very good service, diversified and delicious buffet, affordable price. I recommend this place for everyone!
Food is not great but it is filling and service is great
Great food & very clean. Their sanitation is right on .
Seated very quick. Food was fresh. Bathroom have no touch doors. Was very clean.
I haven't been to Smiley's in almost 4 years. Had used a birthday coupon so only had to pay for 1 buffet. $25 for their buffet seems a but high as nothing really stood out in regards to food or service. We had to pay even before being seated which I didn't mind but then it prompts a tip on the debit machine... How can you tip when you haven't even received any service. I guess you could put 0 and then maybe leave something on the table...if you have cash on hand. Don't know if I will be back anytime soon
Poor quality of food and most was cold. Would not recommend. .
Always good food seafood Friday is my favorite
Great food choices - CANADIAN AND ASIAN. Always fresh.
Very accommodating! Frequent there for lunches once a month! Friendly staff and excellent food options available.
Busy, didn't wait to long to be seated
Great brunch... many many choices !
What Can you say food was good
Good food Decent prices and lots to choose from.
Good Service, food taste great and nice staffs.
Good food
Wanted a fast place with lots of choices and boy did we find it! Great food.
Really good food and great selection!
Food was great and so was the staff! Been there before and will be back! ????
Very good. Service great and management superb.
it's ok food. service is decent enough... you get a decent selection just not always fresh but that's what you get with a buffet.
Good food but needs a bigger selection
Good customer service anytime
Great staff but sometimes the plate service is slow and not enough space
Very good buffet and very clean now they renovated also a decent price compared to the buffet place up the street and lots of parking
Saskatoon's Buffet has long been my favorite. It's too bad I can't eat gluten any more; it's really limited my choices there but I can still enjoy several things.
supper aug 1-2020 >> REALLY wish that the prime rib was COOKED,, A BIT MORE
Great selection of various food!
Great food friendly staff
Pretty decent lunch menu!
Love the food. Limited parking.
First visit ever. Great selection on buffet. Great value. Great service. Extremely happy. Will definitely be back.
The food was awful but the water was pretty darn good
Nothing fancy, but a nice buffet with a good selection.
There buffet amazing there is such a big variety of food from salads entrees and deserts.
There is no zero stars option!?..even negative stars..went to this restaurant and got stomach flu. Salmonella is present in this restaurant! Worst thing? It is contagious! Everyone in the family is vomiting. Will never come here again!
Cold food that I'm sure was leftovers from yesterday.
A nice selection of buffet foods. Something for every taste and pallet.
Always great food! And wonderful staff.
Buffet was good. Had a personal server dish up what you asked for as you walked through the line. Friday was seafood day. Lots of shrimp choices, and several fish. Always good taste.
Sunday brunch was exactly what we were looking for. All other food items were good also, a great selection of basicly everything. Good place to discover sushi if your not sure. Busy times would be best times to visit as end of rush hours food gets less attention from staff as they are cleaning from previous rush and getting ready for the next one.
Like most buffets, you are not going to walk away hungry and if you leave hungry, well, if you do, like my mama said, it's your own fault! The food was good, certainly not gourmet, but if you're real hungry this a good place to go. We went on Ukrainian Christmas Day and they added cabbage rolls, turkey, and stuffing to the pierogies and other usual menu items which was quite an extensive selection. Bon appetit!
Foods fresh, clean and staff friendly I gave them 5 stars.
Good food, good location, friendly servers, nice setup.
Busy place. Lots of food, fresh and hot. We had an excellent server
The serve was awesome and the food really hit the spot and sushi was so yummy!!
Good choices of food really enjoyed the fried chicken
Always good clean food chicken is awesome great service
Used to be a good buffet but since they added new menu they don't have as much selection and the food really bloads you
Love to eat at smileys ❤????????
We had a large group for a surprise party and they handled us great. Food was delicious and lots of selection
Always great food for your money. Not cheap but also not expensive.
Always a great meal and great service! Gerald and the team are so welcoming
Did not feel the value was there. Didn't find the buffet selection to be great for the cost of the buffet, $14.95/head. Cost for two kids and my self for lunch almost $45 (was just the food we had no drinks). Maybe catering to seniors/couples? Not a place you'd want to take a family with kids who are not going to eat more than $5 worth of food. Food that was prepared tasted good and facility was clean but seemed way over priced for selection and ages of kids. I thought may have been a mistake when I was at the till so thought I'd mention it when the girl that was ringing up our bill but that was the cost. So 3.5 stars simply because value was not there in my opinion.
food was nasty hardly edible. table was dirty so was the blinds. for 65 bucks for 3 people very disappointed. literally feel robbed. we had to go get food somewhere else therfore paying double for supper. and the filth on the blinds yuck.pay 20plus per person i accept q little better.
Best buffet in Saskatoon. Reasonably priced and good variety
It was terrible the food was dried out and service was no good
The price was way over priced at $22 an change for the over cooked n burnt food my family 3adults a 3 yrs old n 1 yrs old my bill was $88.00 a waste of money for there terriabl foode
Pricey compared to other buffets in the city. Force you to pay for a drink you don't want.
Not the best, it used to be better like 2 years ago
Service was excellent. Covid protocols were excellent Food was top notch Prices were very good for what you get compared to regular restaurants
Food is good. Service is only ok. For example, you have to refill your own water.
The food was tastey but not the variety it used to have.
Good price and good service but found the food bland.
Good food, good variety but fairly expensive.
Was a great variety. Check the the specials of the day before going.
Absolutely I like to eating it. I went all buffet this one the best compared to other real recommend to eating on it .Thank.
Awesome place. Go eat there.
Such a good buffet!
A great place for lunch or supper. Has a senior price as well. Good selection of Chinese Vietnamese and Canadian. Looking forward to Easter weekend.
Insane Mac and Cheese like amazing!!
Very poor food, don't waste your time and money!
Friendly waitresses great food
Wasn't the best at the time I went, but definitely worth giving another try. Just don't like to have to pay before we see what they have
This is the first time we've been to this place. There aren't a lot varieties of hot food. Can't really see any meat. The grilled beef is very dry, not tasty at all. The fried rice are so dry too. The susi bar especially the samon susi......oh..I can give the chef a thumb up cause I wouldn't be able to cut that salmon thin slice like that..... you can even see through it with your eyes.....Only spring rolls and desert are good. Actually $18.99+tax per person is pricy but because they don't have a lot of varieties food to choose from, therefore is not worth of the price. I wouldn't recommend to this restaurant.
The food is stereotypical Chinese food that is not actually authentic. But the dessert selection is amazing! Egg tarts!!! Coconut buns!! Anything that’s a pastry or baked is good.
Very good, excellent food and service
Always great comfort food
Good and diverse food, friendly staff, a little loud, but that's to be expected. Nice place to bring the family.
Always great!
if u want good sushi at buffet prices or just some decent grub.
First time eating at Smiley's in over a year. I have missed the large selection, the slushy drinks, the rice pudding. I have not missed that the food is never really hot. Can't bother me too much though as we keep going back. ????
I enjoy dining out at smileys buffet. Rib night is my favourite night to go and eat there. I also like their deserts.The staff is courteous and they have managed to keep their business open and safe with regards to social distancing and Covid19.
The food doesn't have a lot of flavour. The pop is watered-down pretty badly (yes, I do understand money is made off drinks). The dessert selection is good, and the ice cream is really good. Over-all not bad, but not the best in Saskatoon.
Always a good meal, great service.
Good food and service. Will probably go again.
Always a great variety of Asian and American food.
Great food with lots of selection
Great selection if food ..great place to go for buffet at a reasonable price
It's a great buffet with lots of items to choose from including fresh Sushi ????! Lots of room to sit and it's clean ????
Good food but pricey
Service and atmosphere was great. But they don't have as many gluten free choices as they used to have, but the sushi and salad rolls were awesome. That's why we would stop on thete on the way thru town.
I usually eat at another buffet resturant when I come into the city each week. I decided to try Smileys. Staff was friendly …
Always fresh and clean and full trays. Friendly staff
It is over priced for what you get. It should never be over 19 dollars for an adult.
Excellent food and service
too much oil in all of the food and workers they wear the same gloves to make the vegy susi and the meat one. I do not recommend it to poeple allergies.
Good food
Omg the buffet rocks .there fried chicken is absolutely the best..staff is very friendly polite and accommodating... Excellent food …
Considering the times it was really good. I like that u pay up front and pop is included. Offerings were far better than asia buffets current offerings. I will definitely go back
Great service! Loved the food
Great food, dessert and service
Good food. Great meeting place.
Nice place for a football banquet. Food was ok.
Always a good place for weekend brunch. Great if you eat lots, even better if you're hungover. Good selection and variety, and I've never had any food issues that come along with buffets
Food was delicious and icecream was delicious and apple crisp customer service was amazing
Was there today with my family...food was warm to cold...same food all the time and the price for 3 adults and one child...$80.00...the food there is not worth 17.50 a adult and $9.00 for a child....i will not eat here again i will soend $80.00 on a better restaurant.
Greasy floors ???? not five minutes out the door now I feel like ????
The General manager drove into the side of my truck in the parking lot because he wasn't paying attention then told insurance I hit him. What a piece of work
Best food in the city. Awesome buffet.
Best buffet in Saskatoon in my opinion. Great selection of Asian and American food and all great quality.
Awesome food, we'll lit, love the open concept.
Not as good as it once was . Seemed pretty pricy for a buffet for 4 people. Beverages were extra .$95.00 plus tip,
Great lunch buffet, fresh and delicious food with lots of choices!
Just had the worst experience with their server... absolutely worst!!!!! I was a regular but forget that now i will wait for the new buffet to reopen
The owner was very nice and let my 4 year old niece eat for free. The food was very good especially sushi.
Going downhill food was not to great
Good food, clean, free parking
Food was great and so was the staff!
Good food but a few items were dry from sitting too long. (Rice and noodles)
We ordered the Gluten Free dinner for 4 and it was awesome! Highly recommend to my fellow Celiac sufferers!
Good food the best. Greatest food in toontown.
There were plenty of gluten free choices and found the selections more than satisfactory.
Cold food is warm, warm food is cold... last time we were there the whole salad bar was warm the highlight to my meal is a nice salad, when you make a nice salad plate of all these toppings and get to your table and your first bite is warm, warm, warm that makes for a gross salad experience and very disappointing. We informed management and got a discount off of our bill which was good but we haven't been back since! Keep the food temperature out of the danger zone! The hot food was not rotated enough for freshness!
Not a fan. The food was not great.
I’m pleasantly surprised with how good the food is! Price isn’t bad either, considering the variety. Will definitely come back when I’m in town next
Buffet is very expensive. But decent selection. Usually loud and packed. Parking lot is like a can of sardines.
Food ranged from okay to disappointing. Not the best buffet place on circle drive. Even with the lower price it wasn't worth it.
Food is hit and miss. It's really expensive for the quality of meal you get.
I am VERY unhappy with my experience at Smileys. First of all, the staff barely said a word to me and my Dad. Secondly, they never offered to refill our beverages. Lastly, the food was not very good. There was rotten tomatoes in the food and rock solid pineapple in the fresh fruit area... And last time I went there with my mom there was raw meat! It was supposed to be cooked, it wasn't a dish meant to be raw. So they won't be seeing us again. Im sorry if I sound like a complainer, but the reviews are for our thoughts.
Great food, a little pricey for breakfast.
Food is awesome. But we will not be eating there again do to the price. It is way to high. How can a normal working person afford 22 bucks plus taxes, unrealistic prices.
Good eats. Big selection and great quality
Good food and service
Sushi isn't nice...food not bad, but not for me. I would not recommend, if you like fresh, not over salted etc meal.
Service is the pits. We were only asked how everything was when we paid. We had a huge allergy problem and no one was around. When we went up to pay, the manager didn't even acknowledge that we had a problem. Used to love coming here. Not anymore.
Poor selection of food that has sat out for too long. Bad deal for $17.50 Ice Cream is pretty good though.
Price vs quality isnt the greatest
The buffet is pretty big but the quality isn't great. The buffet is overpriced for what they serve.
Was dissatisfied and disappointed on the quality of this particular Sunday meal......what went wrong with the old Smiley experience?
The food is amazing and huge portions! We had take out and loved every bite! My wife has celiacs so Gluten Free is a must. The chinese food is awesome!!
The price is right and the service is good but the food varies. Sometimes it's really good and other times not so great. The last time I had the lemon pepper fish it was awful and I haven't tried it since. On our last visit my daughter had fried rice and it was terrible. The pierogies are always good and I love the noodles and the spring rolls. Tuesday is steak night and it's usually pretty good. Their fried chicken and sushi are also usually pretty good. It's nothing to write home about but general speaking it's a decent all you can eat buffet.
Good variety and great value.
Really nice experience here.plentiful to select from various dishes and lots and lots of options for deserts.
Best buffet in town, most consistently good
Has become very expensive, probably will awhile before we go back.
Amazing food and a great variety
Has always been a joy to visit this place. Such a wide variety of foods to eat and great choices for dessert as well. If you are visiting Saskatoon and you're up for some familiar or not so familiar food Smiley's is one of the two best places to visit beyond a doubt.
Group meal before rush game...food and service were good
