Our first time here. You pay at entry. They had a big lunch time. All the.food was hot and fresh. I like all the variety of children. Their jalapeno checking was my favorite. My wife liked that they had shrimp in a lot of dishes. Great service. The line was kept clean. They even had enchiladas. They were OK. The brisket was a surprise. Very tender. Well worth a visit.

The food was very mid/okay, I've had much better elsewhere. The service was very laid back and lazy. The place is super small and over crowded. If you want something decent for a fair price then it's ok, however I would recommend other places.

I’ve eaten at other Lin’s, but this was the worst. The food tasted fine so 3 stars, but it was lukewarm at best and I was there 30 minutes after they opened. The butterfly shrimp and the dumplings were hard and overcooked. Some of the salads on the salad bar were so drenched in mayo they were inedible. Nice selection of fresh fruit though. The server finally brought me an iced tea refill as I was getting ready to leave. The restaurant itself is very cold, maybe that’s what’s cooling the food down so quickly.

Too cold. Some people went out to get coats. Food did not feel or taste fresh.

The food was cold and chewy. You had to be on watch to get hot food when they brought it out. The worst were the sushi rolls. Hard, dry, tasteless. Even the chicken and broccoli was cold. The best was the salad. Fresh and crispy. The waitress came to refill our drinks only once and it was a little loud. If the food had been better, the price would have been excellent. A variety of food, including ribs, enchiladas, fruit dessert and ice cream.

There was a good amount of options, but the food was just okay. Overall, everything needed more flavor and it did not taste fresh to me. The hot and sour soup was very salty. I like that there was hibachi and ice cream. The cheesecake was very dense, but the coffee cake was very good. I don't think I would go again.

My wife and I dined at Lins Buffet located on Nolana between 2nd St. and McColl Rd. in McAllen. Basically, you pay an entrance fee, enter and grab an available table then barely sit there long enough to place a beverage order. With anticipation rising up so do you, and over to the plate stack you go. Me, I grab two plates. Anyways, Lins has like 4 rows of traditional favorites, and fried items. I was able to get hot fried Shrimp as the attendant was restocking it. My complaint would be there are way more chicken selections than beef or seafood. The salad bar offerings were fresh and well maintained, and fruit was also available. There were several sheet cakes cut in small squares to choose from. I chose a nice looking chocolate cake square, and a spice looking cake. The chocolate cake was dry as blank and the spice cake had no anything. To review, some dishes were really good, and some were just OK. I was disappointed in the green beans, always a fave of mine, but these were way too soggy. The overall quality was not there but if you are going for a food experience by all means go. Would I go back 🤔 probably in the way distant future.

Food is okay at best and I went at dinner. For water and buffet at $20 isn’t really ideal for the type of quality of the food here.

This place was so bad that after I left I barely made it to fourth Street before I had to pull over and puke up all the 'food' that was consumed. 50$ up front, I won't ever be recommending anyone to …

Rude! The phone was answered by a Spanish speaking woman. I asked a question in English about shrimp allergy. She asked me if I meant the food in buffet, I said no the actual cooking. She paused and hung up on me. Well, she could have asked for help with translation from a coworker. Or does nobody on staff speak English? I'd rather not put my life on the line with service like this. Most restaurants are accommodating. I guess this one is not.

Edna Cruz

The taste of the food doesn't measure up to the standard of a Chinese buffet, the fish being dry with a discernible frozen taste, and the vegetables tasting much like well-cooked frozen rice. All staff are Mexican

Stephanie Campos

I used to love this place years ago and every chance I got to visit the valley I would like to come with my family to eat here, however the quality has dropped immensely as of recently and the prices have risen. Food is not worth the price. Service is lacking and the place was even dirty.

Ruth Guajardo

This place is cold 🥶 the temperature is probably set in the 60s. And the food was okay but by the time you take it to your table it’s cold. Unless you like cold food then this would be great for you. The service was good the waitress was very attentive. More than likely won’t be coming back. It being cold really disappoints. 👎🏻

Eric Herrera

Lin’s Buffet is by far the worst restaurant I have ever been to. I paid over $20 and was served food that was mushy, cold, and clearly not fresh. The seafood, which should have been hot, was cold and tasted fishy. Everything was extremely disappointing. On top of that, the servers were rude and incompetent, which only added to the horrible experience. This was by far the worst buffet in town. I will never return, and I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Shane Creager

Peel and eat shrimp had a smell, crayfish was bad, macaroni salad smelled like rotten mayo. Most of the food on my plate was cold eventho we got there at opening. Left after 15 minutes, hopefully won't get food poisoning

Jorge Gonzalez

The ribs were cold, the noodles were lukewarm and super greasy… only one waitress that I saw but she was very nice and helpful… food is not what it used to be… the grouchy lady that cooks the specialties on the grill was super grouchy… for $17.50 per person, this place sucks and deserves only 1 star because there isn’t a lower score… DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!!

Crissy Lopez

We used to eat here all the time but whatever update they did it, it ruined the place. Nothing has flavor and the only flavor they have is rotten meat. The only good thing to eat was the pasta. I wish I could just return the food and get my money back. Oh and the egg drop soup tasted like water, almost like it was just food coloring added into it. The wasabi was just cream, dirty green and not even close to spicy. The bread was hard as a rock. Oh and they serve you considering its a pandemic. They had a little bit more than 10 options to choose from.
