— Old Country Buffet, 2900 Deerfield Drive, will undergo a renovation and name change later in July.

The restaurant, which will be renamed HomeTown Buffet, will see updates to its interior décor and to its food menu.

The renovation is expected to take two weeks, and the restaurant will be closed from July 27 to Aug. 5.

Changes will include a new family friendly game room for children and themed menus including Asian, Mexican, Italian and American favorites.

I'm glad to see there are more people that share my hatred of OCB. I haven't been to one since 2005 and I'm pretty sure changing the name isn't going to change my mind.

And trust me, I'm built for buffets folks.

We need a Golden Corral. The last time i was at that Old Country Buffet I was appalled at the low quality and overall seediness of the place.

Last time I was there, I had to be able to speak Spanish to talk to any of the help.... As I said, that was the LAST time I was there. Maybe it has changed but I sure wont find out if it did.

When people walk in with their own bib, they mean business! My only question is: How early in the evening will you have to get there to avoid being seated at one of the long tables, sitting shoulder to shoulder with a complete stranger
