Rias is a local staple and a place you find all the locals who want to get away from the generic flavors of the big chains restaurants. The way you are greeted when you come in is like a family member who they haven’t seen in awhile. The food and menu are fantastic, you can’t go wrong with anything you pick. My kids love the pizza and the burgers. The drinks are great as well, and they have plenty of choices. Support your local business, especially ones with such charm, character and owners that treat you like family. Love this place and hope it’s around for a long time!

Their restaurant is called ria because after you eat it you will have diarrhea, my entire family had stomach pains after we ate.The price is way too high for the food to be so gross. And it stank outside of the front door.

I will start off by saying that I was an avid Pizzaria Napolitano fan for decades before Rias bought them out. I have been going to this location since it was opened many years ago, actually over a decade, and the food has slowly went downhill. We got the buffet and the wings were fried to a crisp, the squash/zuchinni was still crisp and not done at all. The service was lacking, but she was overwhelmed from lack of help so it wasn’t really her fault, she did the best she could. The place is very nice and clean. The pizza and fried chicken was good, as were the taters. It’s a decent buffet for a good price, it just may be hit or miss right now from my experience.
Here’s some puddin…..
Went again for the buffet. Everything was pretty good today. Service was a little slow, but they were understaffed. They have the sticky wings on Thursdays, so that’s what I wanted.
Oh…. And some puddin…
Great pizza and wings today. Was having a craving and it worked out!

A good value and a quick option for a satisfying meal.
Food wasn’t anything fancy, but it was solid quality for a buffet. Lots of carbs to fill you up. Service was decent. Restaurant itself is actually very nice and clean.

$40 for two of us to eat. Or I guess I should say, attempt to eat. The food left much to be desired. Even after visibly watching them put “fresh food” on the bar, it was barely luke warm. The chicken was not hot at all, nor were the potatoes. The guy stocking the bar mixed fresh pasta with old dry pasta. One guy proceeded to pick through one container on the salad bar with his bare hands (after just wiping down the buffet stations) and throw whatever it was he was picking out into another container on the bar. The only saving grace is the waitress seemed kind enough. Not really much interaction to know for sure. I see all the positive reviews, but all I can say is eat at your own risk…

My wife said the salad bar was good….but salad is pretty hard to get wrong. The stuffed bell pepper was pretty good. The fried chicken was the best thing on the buffet. The waitress was attentive and very polite.
The scrambled eggs reminded me of the powdered eggs served in military chow halls. The pizza was not very good either. The spaghetti and meatballs needed more seasoning. Mostly lack luster.
When we walked in there was a weird smell I could not place because the smell of the food. On the way out I went to the bathroom and found out what the smell is. There is some kind of sewer issue going on not just some dude having stomach issues but something in the lines bubbling back through or something. Had I realized it upon entry we would have went someplace else to eat.

I found Ria’s when I was looking online to find a buffet in Jefferson City today. So glad I went and had lunch there. The food was delicious, the buffet was kept full of fresh food and kept very clean. Price was amazing for the quality and quantity of food we had. Definitely recommend going here and will go back when I am in the area again!

A real big disappointment. We had been trying to eat here for a good while. We finally got to eat here. Never again. No season on the food, but the salad bar was good & the bread. The service was slow. There wasn’t a real welcoming feeling. We took our food home & recooked it. My husband’s steak was not well done, it wasn’t even medium. It was still mowing. My lasagna, was nothing but bland noodles with meat sauce on top making the noodles extra soggy. It was definitely not worth the 60 or 70 dollars my husband paid. #VeryDisappointed

I had only done Ria’s lunch buffet and hadn’t done it for a couple years because buffet food never sets well with me. I was pleasantly surprised with our Saturday evening visit!! The servers were pleasant and attentive but most importantly, our food was wonderful. Everything was fresh and hot! Will definitely be going back.

From out of town and looking for something not a chain.
We both got the buffet. Reasonably priced and the salad was fresh even at 8. Pizza and catfish both good
