Old Country Buffet is an American chain of buffet-style restaurants that offers a variety of dishes from different cuisines. The company is headquartered in Eagan, Minnesota. Founded in 1983 by Roe Hatlen, Old Country Buffet started with a single restaurant in Minnesota.

However, due to its popularity and success, it expanded rapidly and eventually became one of the largest buffet chains in the United States. Old Country Buffet takes pride in its all-you-can-eat buffet concept, catering to a wide range of tastes and preferences. The menu primarily consists of American comfort food, including but not limited to fried chicken, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, roasted meats, salads, and desserts.

The buffet offers a dining experience where customers can choose their favorite foods and eat as much as they desire at a fixed price. Although Old Country Buffet primarily operates in the United States, it does not have any international locations. The company does not have any noteworthy subsidiaries, joint ventures, or partnerships.

In terms of market position, Old Country Buffet faced increased competition in recent years from other buffet chains and changing consumer preferences. This led to a decline in sales and the closure of several locations. As a result, in 2016, the company filed for bankruptcy, which resulted in the closure of numerous restaurants.

Despite facing financial difficulties, Old Country Buffet has remained a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a wide variety of food options at an affordable price. The brand is known for its casual dining atmosphere and focus on comfort food. As of the latest information available, Old Country Buffet operates fewer locations compared to its peak years.

The brand continues to offer its buffet-style dining experience in select areas in the United States. However, specific details about its current status and recent updates are limited
