Here’s a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4.0 out of 5 stars review for Lin’s Grand Buffet in Casa Grande, Arizona, based on my recent visit:
I gave Lin’s Grand Buffet 4.0 stars because it offers a solid, expansive all-you-can-eat experience with a great variety of Asian, Chinese, and American-style dishes, plus a nice presentation overall—including plenty of options like sushi (which I’m personally not a fan of, but it’s there for those who enjoy it).
The Mongolian grill station is a highlight; you build your own plate, ring the bell, and they cook it fresh to order. The place has a clean setup, reasonable prices, and friendly service in general, aligning with many positive reviews about the selection and value.
That said, timing matters for freshness. Many folks recommend coming around 4 o’clock when the food is at its freshest and hottest under the lights. I arrived closer to 2 o’clock, and while most items were okay, some had been sitting a bit too long and tasted a little old or dried out from the heat lamps—not terrible, but noticeable compared to peak times.
One minor frustration: After preparing my Mongolian grill plate and ringing the bell, it took about 20 minutes for it to be ready. By then, my group and I were already full from the buffet line, so we didn’t push to ask for it to go (even though a mix-up seemed to happen with another table thinking it was theirs).
It didn’t ruin the meal, but it was a small hiccup in an otherwise enjoyable visit. If you’re in Casa Grande and craving variety without breaking the bank, it’s worth checking out—especially if you time it right!

Very pleased. The restaurant appeared to be noticeably clean. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. Our roaming server was extremely attentive resulting in our drinks never running dry. We found the entire experience very enjoyable.
Not as “Grand” and definitely not as grandiose as those in Phoenix or Tucson but still well worth your time and money.
Visit with confidence.

Very good food. Outstanding for a buffet. Should be 5 stars but cashier was a robot. No hello or welcome, just how many, take my money and send me on my way. I got my water refilled but it took a while each time. I tipped well considering. I will probably go back as I enjoyed my meal. Might be a while because I live north Phoenix. Very good price for the meal.

Absolutely the worst service in Arizona. I paid at 5:56 and at 6:11 I left because I still hadn’t received my drink. The food was probably ok but it’s hard to eat without a drink. It wasn’t just me, there were empty glasses everywhere. Maybe that’s how they get people to eat less. For me it was a few bites and a long wait. Wasted $23-$24

Great selection of food. Sushi was fresh and tasty, orange chicken was very good, macaroons and ice cream a great way to top off our meal. Very fresh food, its very obvious when you taste it. The fresh charbroiled steaks are tasty and tender.

It was a good restaurant prices were a bit high but it makes sense for a buffet. The food was not the highest quality and it took a while for the chefs to bring the food out. And my server Anna was rude to us when we asked for a drink and she refused to go and get it until we bought it which we were going to and after we bought it and asked her for it she said she was busy and didnt get it for us. It dissapoints me that people are like this today and i hope you hire people with better attitudes.

We were a little hesitant to eat here based on some of the recent reviews. Man are we glad we decided to “chance” it. Everything on the buffet looked and tasted fresh. The young man at the grill did a fabulous job cooking the steak my husband got. The young lady that was at the sushi bar was very polite when I asked for a specific sushi roll and had no problem making it for me. Every staff member we were in contact with were extremely friendly. Overall it was one of the best overall experiences we have had in a while when going out to eat somewhere.

I like the Lin’s Grand Buffets that I have tried. At this location, the food was fresh and they had good variations of dishes to try. Unfortunately, for me, everything I tried (bar the sushi) was over-cooked and over flavoured. I did love the sauce on the ribs, but the ribs themselves were over-cooked and dry / hard. I think the highlight would have been the sushi and the shrimp.
The atmosphere was so-so and smoke filled the air from the grill. Staff were nice and polite. Bathrooms were clean and tidy.
I stopped in to visit here because I had tried the Lin’s Grand Buffet in El Paso. The El Paso location definitely had better food and a better atmosphere.
From what I ate and my experience, I would have given it 2 stars, but I decided to give it 3 stars because there’s a really good food selection here.

The server was nice, but she kept forgetting some drinks. After about 2 refills for each person in our party, she stopped asking if we wanted more drinks. Food was okay too much seafood
