History of the Buffet

How did the buffet come to exist? “In the early 18th century, the Swedish concept evolved into the "smörgåsbord." This became a full-fledged meal, especially used to feed guests arriving from distant places,” said the Cookist.

The idea of the all-you-can-eat buffet made its way to the United States during the 1939 World's Fair in New York. According to Cookist, “visitors experienced a traditional smörgåsbord at the Three Crowns restaurant” inside the Swedish pavilion.

Buffet-style restaurants are abundant across Alabama, but Mashed has curated an exclusive list spotlighting the best ones in each state.

Alabama’s Best Buffet According to Mashed

Martha’s Place – Buffet and Catering

7780 Atlanta Highway, Montgomery, AL 36117

“Delicious comfort food prepared from scratch and made with love.”

You had me at the word “scratch.” I foresee a Bite This! road trip soon.

Martha is in charge of home cooking,” said Mashed. It’s an “all-you-can-eat smorgasbord of soul food is accompanied by the restaurant's award-winning collard greens. Martha's Greens won an Iron Skillet award that helped establish the restaurant's place as a Montgomery staple.”
