Hollis Seafood Buffet - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

It's always the same. Great food and service. Wide range if foods.

Best dang buffet within 80 miles of El Dorado Arkansas.

Pretty good food. The greens were good!

Awesome. One of the best dine in open buffet in the surrounding area. And I recommend 👌🏾

The food was not bad, but the whole catfish was a standout --really tender and moist! It seemed like odd placement to put the bathroom right behind the dessert table.

An excellent place to eat, definitely a buffet, and worth the mo

The lay out of the buffet looked ok but the taste of the food in general was very disappointing. Some things way to spicy and most of the stuff crabs, boudin balls, catfish was kind of soggy tasting. Had some shrimp in some type of gravy that was horrible. I drove an hour to get there and I will not go back and would not recommend anyone to eat there. Very disappointed in the quality of the food!!!

True Southern cooking set in the beautiful woods wonderful food great atmosphere only come here if you’re hungry great people great food.

Overall there's not a seafood buffet that can match Hollis seafood. There is great vegetable a lot of great desserts it's just a wonderful place if you've never gone to spearsville Louisiana you owe it to yourself to take a drive.

Today 6/20/24 Gumbo was made in a rush. Shrimp was still cold.

Great food!! If your hungry when you leave it’s your own fault lol

Reviews were good and a line was formed outside on Saturday night prior to opening. When we left, people were still in line outside waiting to get in- standing in 95 degree weather. I don't know why! Upon entering, the staff was friendly and as quickly as possible led us to our seats. We were excited to see the extent of the food options. However, in the words of my 12 year old, "This is quantity over quality." Nothing was labeled, so you had no idea what you were eating. Everything was fried! Except for one tray of blackened catfish. And it all tasted the same. This was a real let down. ... especially when my 8 year old ended up getting sick on the side of the road on the way home.

There was a line when we arrived 10 minutes before they opened at 4:30 pm on a Saturday night. The doors opened and we all went in. We had a group of 7 and was seated rather quickly. Our waitress took our drink order and then we got right in the buffet line. There were lots of options but nothing was marked for what they were except for the blackened catfish. Which is fine if you’re a local but we weren’t so we took Fried chicken tenders that we thought was fried fish and still weren’t sure what a few things were. But there was lots of food. I’m glad we tried it but probably wouldn’t go back if we would return to this area.

We went for my mom's Birthday and the atmosphere was pleasant. Great customer Service. They were so nice. And we drove from Ruston LA, I love the different seafood dishes, they have shrimp, frog legs, Omg not to mention the Catfish, the different vegetables, I can go on and on but I surely give them a 5. Keep up the Great work. Hollis is surely worth the Drive. wish I had some of Sweet Tea now ❤❤❤😍

OMG we drove for about 60 miles from Minden and it was so worth the drive. The food was delicious and well seasoned and fresh!! Would highly recommended this restaurant as I was referred to it as well. Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s working!!

The food was fresh, hot and delicious.

Nice place , good seating and staff was helpful. Food is delicious from the turnip greens to the shrimp and catfish. I have no complaints 😁

We loved our visit! Great food and superb staff! Yay to Hollies Seafood Buffett from the Tennessee Tourists!

Been going here for years. The only issue is it can get pretty crowded depending on when you go

Very clean! Family friendly. Excellent employees! EVERYTIME.

Hands down, the absolute best place for all you can eat seafood. It's an hour and a half drive from shreveport/Bossier, but most definitely worth it!!! The food is amazing and the servers and hosts are always friendly!

Elbow to elbow, do not expect to go back for something you wanted that was out on the buffet line, you cannot get in. It is a ridiculous totally overrated place! I will never go there again!

Able to handle our large party after my son and daughter in laws wedding on a busy Saturday night. Really great food. Might not be a great review coming from a Colorado boy, but we sure loved it

Hollis' doesn't disappoint. Tremendous variety on the buffet, including boudin balls and frog legs. Food is really good and a great value for the cost. Usually pretty busy on Saturday night, but outside of a short wait, we've never had difficulty getting a table. Highly recommend!

Very good food and a lot to choose from, all cooked just right to me.

Was there to celebrate my mother's birthday 🎂. It was my first time there. The service was awesome. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. I will definitely recommend and will be back to eat. Thanks, Hollis, my experience was grand.

Food was delicious just as good as it was 20 years ago But the rest rooms are old and needs to be remodeled with updated fixtures

Yummy food! Look forward to going again!

The food was awesome! The best place for all you can eat seafood buffet. They have really good ribs, pork chops, chicken strips, and more, with lots of different vegetables, salad bar, and dessert bar. I just can't say enough for this place. Wanda

Our friends met us from Nacogdoches texas

Nice little seafood buffet plenty of options.

This is my third time going to the Hollis Seafood Buffet . However, the last time was in 2007. We went on a Saturday evening around 7 pm. The parking lot was easy to park in, and we were able to come right in. We were greeted by several people and we paid for our meals. We walked around to a hostess station and we were asked which room we wanted to be seated in. We weren't familiar with the rooms, so we just said close to the buffet. (In retrospect, I would have selected a smaller quieter room, the large room was also quite cold.). We were seated and we got our food. The boiled shrimp was some of the best I've ever had. So were the fried shrimp. The crab and hot water corn bread tasted like it was frozen from a store, but everything else was pretty good. The fried catfish fillets were small and a little overdone, but the flavor was great. The other catfish dishes were really good. I went back for seconds. They have a HUGE variety of food, and the desserts were really good as well. I got the coconut cream pie. There is a mural on the wall, and it feels like you are in south Louisiana. The real star was the woman working the room. She was singing and she served, and I didn't have to get a drink refill once because she always came when I needed one. The bathrooms were kind of weird and the towel dispenser was broken and a dispenser roll was just sitting on the sink. Overall, I will go again. The price is good for the variety, but I would have expected the quality to be a little more consistent for how much I paid. $52.00 for my wife and I.

Great place... Food is amazing 🤩

The food was delicious and there was a variety if everything

This was my first time visiting, but it definitely won't be my last. Very good food for a very reasonable price.

Food was hot & fresh! Restocked on a very timely manner. Tables kept clean for next customers. Great time with family. From the ladies at the front to the wait staff All were outstanding

Always loved going here as a kid. The food is great, especially the fried pork chops and mac and cheese. People are so kind and the place is nice.

No finer tasting fish and shrimp anywhere.

This used to be one of the few places I could go and be completely satisfied with their fish. It had been a couple of years since my last visit, probably before COVID. You can tell they no longer have the same cooks. They used to have farm raised catfish, but I don't know what that was tonight. The whole catfish was too hard. I was told my cost would be 25.62, but there was an upcharge for using my card (I was not informed, giving me an option to pay cash). Definitely will ask questions if I ever return.

Great restaurant...wish we lived closer.

My first time to eat here and everything was amazing! Service, food, atmosphere! We will be back!

Good food but a little expensive.

Great little family owned restaurant!! Good food and friendly service in an awesome little town!!

Loved everything about it, and it was well worth the trip from Monroe!

To start off this place has SO MUCH PERSONALITY! It's a charming southern atmosphere. I loved the friendly southern vibes as well. The food here is AMAZING, and I'm a Pascatarian Vegetarian! I definitely will be back, I have also recommended to everyone I know and it's just my first time here! lol.

The food is excellent. The waitress that took care of us also did a great job. This was my second time being there and I will definitely be back.

Wow! Definitely worth a detour!

This is off the beaten path,, but you'll be glad you went.

Good selection for a buffet. Food very good.

Always a great experience! Food always great, and so is the service! Great place to dine for all occasions.

Great place will visit again soon

My third time eating here, it has been years but great atmosphere and "all" employees were very friendly and consistent! We'll be going back real soon!! ❤️

This is a very popular place, so get there atleast 15 minutes before they open, to get in line. Food was good. The frog legs were to die for!! Friendly, prompt service. Would definitely recommend!! Its an all you can eat buffet. Was about $25 per person.

Price a little high but great place to go.

Be prepared to leave stuffed...the food is great. It's worth the trip. If the line is backed out in the parking lot when you go, the line moves fast.

A hole in the wall school cafeteria buffet style soul food secret in a small (blinkandyoumiss) town

Great buffet. Wish they would build another one in the Ruston area.

Pleasant atmosphere and good food.

Great service great food got drink refills every time I needed one

Delicious and fresh food. Love the atmosphere. My only complaint is parking. I'm always afraid I'm gonna pick something up in my tires in the grass. Other than that, I can't wait till we go back :)

This is the place to be at dinner time

The food that was out was wonderful, but it was scarce. The waitresses were wonderful and the hostess was very nice. Love shopping all the goodies afterwards

Everyone, stop what you're doing and try those boudin balls!!

We moved from the area, but we’re excited to come back, even though they went up on their prices again it’s worth the drive in the food is always beyond expectations

To try this I travelled from Arkansas to Louisiana just like 30 miles🫠 we missed last week cause they close 45mins prior to 9pm and only accept Togo charge you different not just a buffet price. Now hopefully we arrived at 7:30pm buffet price was 53$ for 2 with taxes. You this was so so expensive buffet I never visited. I don’t see much variety types of dishes just few but dishes what they serve are really delicious. This is like mostly family spot they should have hosted any DJ 🎧 for this price. The different thing I tried is fish 🐟 and ranch like sauce but not ranch coming to staff they are so friendly and front desk guys are senior citizens they’re so good. So finally if you do host DJ’s on Friday I do come again 🙃

All seafood was overcooked. The fried squash was perfect. Overall, even with wonderful wait staff, it was mediocre at best for the price.

Wonderful food...buffet is enormous with plenty to choose from (Traducido por Google) Comida maravillosa... el buffet es enorme, con mucho para elegir

It's been a while since I have been. Food is good......really good for an open buffet. They do an amazing job considering how many people come through each night. (Traducido por Google) Ha pasado un tiempo desde que he estado. La comida es buena... realmente buena para un buffet libre. Hacen un trabajo increíble teniendo en cuenta cuántas personas vienen cada noche.

Worth every penny and then some. The frog legs, boiled shrimp, and desserts are worth the price of admission alone. (Traducido por Google) Vale la pena cada centavo y algo más. Las ancas de rana, los camarones hervidos y los postres valen solo el precio de la entrada.

Great hidden gem! The seafood buffet is great but save room for the amazing desserts! Plus the people there are wonderful! (Traducido por Google) Gran joya escondida! El buffet de mariscos es excelente, ¡pero deja espacio para los increíbles postres! Además la gente allí es maravillosa!

Delicious food and great service! (Traducido por Google) Deliciosa comida y excelente servicio!

I've been here three times so far and the food has been great everytime. This last time it seems like they were having a tough time keeping up with the demand. And the fried catfish tasted muddy. I'm pretty sure it was a one off. (Traducido por Google) He estado aquí tres veces hasta ahora y la comida siempre ha sido excelente. Esta última vez parece que les estaba costando mantenerse al día con la demanda. Y el bagre frito sabía fangoso. Estoy bastante seguro de que fue único.

Service and family setting was great 👍 (Traducido por Google) El servicio y el ambiente familiar fueron geniales 👍

I love the food,it worth the drive I drive a hour to get this food.. Good service and atmosphere (Traducido por Google) Me encanta la comida, vale la pena conducir. Conduzco una hora para conseguir esta comida. Buen servicio y ambiente.

Good place for good food!!! (Traducido por Google) Buen lugar para buena comida!!!

Everything was great. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious. (Traducido por Google) Todo estuvo genial. El personal era amable y la comida era deliciosa.

Very good food and very nice folks . (Traducido por Google) Muy buena comida y muy buena gente.

Fantastic ! It's 17. 50 on Thursdays. I think it's a pretty good deal for all you can eat (Traducido por Google) Fantástico ! Son las 17:50 los jueves. Creo que es un trato bastante bueno para todo lo que puedas comer.

The best seafood buffet... (Traducido por Google) El mejor buffet de mariscos...

Great restaurant to eat with family and friends. The workers was very friendly and great service. I know it was pricey but it was worth it. (Traducido por Google) Gran restaurante para comer con la familia y amigos. Los trabajadores fueron muy amables y un gran servicio. Sé que fue caro, pero valió la pena.

I have to say that my family and I will not be returning. I went there last night and the food was good but when we paid to go in they rung it up and it was 70 but when I looked at my statement this morning I was charged a different amount that was higher. Be warned people they charge you more than what they say they are charging you (Traducido por Google) Tengo que decir que mi familia y yo no volveremos. Fui allí anoche y la comida era buena, pero cuando pagamos para entrar, llamaron y eran 70, pero cuando miré mi estado de cuenta esta mañana, me cobraron una cantidad diferente que era más alta. Ojo gente que te cobran más de lo que dicen que te cobran

Best buffet seafood around. People stand in long lines to get in. And it's worth it. They really know how to cook. (Traducido por Google) Los mejores mariscos de buffet alrededor. La gente hace largas filas para entrar. Y vale la pena. Realmente saben cocinar.

I love this place!! Amazing buffet of seafood, they have it all and more. The desserts were straight out of grandma’s recipe book.

I was excited to come back to this restaurant. When we got there the price had gone up, not such a big deal bc everything has gone up, but the quality of the food on the buffet seems to have gone down. The gumbo was delicious though as well as a few other things but overall the quality has changed and I don't feel that it is worth the price now. (Traducido por Google) Tenía muchas ganas de volver a este restaurante. Cuando llegamos allí, el precio había subido, no es un gran problema porque todo ha subido, pero la calidad de la comida en el buffet parece haber bajado. El gumbo estaba delicioso, así como algunas otras cosas, pero en general la calidad ha cambiado y no creo que valga la pena el precio ahora.

Here is the thing, the food here in the past was beyond amazing. I would have rated it as one of the must visit places in Louisiana! We went this past weekend for the first time many months and the food was slightly off. The whole catfish and filets had a burned cornmeal tasted , and the whole fish was fried hard. The boiled shrimp were not labeled and it all seemed slightly disjointed. There was some type of shortage of tea and ice during the entire visit. There was no artificial sweeteners available! Hopefully we caught them on a bad night? I did have another friend share she was disappointed her last visit. I will update once I visit again, hopefully better next time! Made a return visit for my birthday, and the food was much better. It's more like the standards I was accustomed to there. Definitely will be back! That blackberry cobbler with ice cream is worth the trip!!! No peel boil shrimp so good! (Traducido por Google) Aquí está la cosa, la comida aquí en el pasado era más que increíble. ¡Lo habría calificado como uno de los lugares de visita obligada en Louisiana! Fuimos el fin de semana pasado por primera vez en muchos meses y la comida estaba un poco mal. El bagre entero y los filetes tenían un sabor a harina de maíz quemado, y el pescado entero se fríe duro. Los camarones hervidos no estaban etiquetados y todo parecía un poco inconexo. Hubo algún tipo de escasez de té y hielo durante toda la visita. ¡No había edulcorantes artificiales disponibles! ¿Con suerte los atrapamos en una mala noche? Tuve otro amigo que compartió que estaba decepcionada de su última visita. Actualizaré una vez que vuelva a visitar, ¡espero que sea mejor la próxima vez! Hice una visita de regreso para mi cumpleaños, y la comida era mucho mejor. Es más como los estándares a los que estaba acostumbrado allí. ¡Definitivamente regresaré! Ese zapatero de moras con helado vale la pena!!! Camarones hervidos sin pelar tan buenos!

The fried shrimps and chicken tender are yummy! 🍤🍗🫰 (Traducido por Google) ¡Los camarones fritos y el pollo tierno son deliciosos! 🍤🍗🫰

A great place to go and stuff one's self. The food is great. The buffet is varied. The price is right. This restaurant is NOT place to go and diet. It has my highest recommendation! It is a 45 minute drive from El Dorado toward Ruston on 167 (don't miss the turn about 7 minutes south of Junction City). (Traducido por Google) Un gran lugar para ir y cosas de uno mismo. La comida es genial. El buffet es variado. El precio está bien. Este restaurante NO es un lugar para ir a hacer dieta. Tiene mi más alta recomendación! Se trata de un viaje de 45 minutos desde El Dorado hacia Ruston en 167 (no se pierda el giro a unos 7 minutos al sur de Junction City).

Drove pretty far for this expecting what the other reviews rave about but was heavily disappointed. Everything was bland and dry or way over seasoned. My favorite part was literally the salad bars ranch dressing. The deserts where good but the seafood was absolutely terrible. Would never wait in the line for bad food every again. (Traducido por Google) Conduje bastante lejos para esto esperando lo que elogian las otras críticas, pero quedé muy decepcionado. Todo era soso y seco o demasiado sazonado. Mi parte favorita fue, literalmente, el aderezo ranchero de las barras de ensaladas. Los postres donde bueno pero el marisco era absolutamente terrible. Nunca volvería a esperar en la cola para comer mal.

It's awesome (Traducido por Google) Es impresionante

Best fish place to eat ever... Always pleasant workers and price is suitable for a couple or family. (Traducido por Google) El mejor lugar para comer pescado... Trabajadores siempre agradables y el precio es adecuado para una pareja o una familia.

Always good (Traducido por Google) Siempre bueno

Quaint establishment well off the beaten path, but exceedingly well worth the trip. A variety of seafood you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. Everything prepared to perfection. Although the majority of the selections are fried, nothing is greasy. It won't wreck havoc with your digestive system. Buffet all you can eat; best come with your tank empty and leave FULL. Vegetables are all well seasoned, but not too salty. An extensive selection of sides. Cafeteria style seating for the most part, but if you have a group, they don't mind you pushing tables together. When our group goes, I stipulate that each time you come back to the table you sit beside others in your group so EVERYONE can get caught up. One thing that sets this place apart from the others is the DESSERTS!!! I like to make a separate round just for desserts! Coconut cream pie, banana pudding just like your Mamaw might make, Coca-Cola cake, fresh strawberry cake (in season), orange cinnamon rolls, peach dumplings, soft serve ice cream and I'm sure I've missed a few! Although Spearsville is well off the beaten path, Hollis Seafood generates business from a broad range. Folks from Union, Ouachita, and Lincoln parishes as well as South Central Arkansas are frequent fliers. Please note they are open Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. On Thursdays, the selection is more limited, but they offer a discount night Thursdays only. The number the Hollis family serve from such an extensive area attests to the high quality of the food. Prices are in the moderate range but considering the selection, justifiable. They knock it out of the ballpark every single time!!! (Traducido por Google) Pintoresco establecimiento bien alejado, pero muy bien vale la pena el viaje. Una variedad de mariscos que sería difícil encontrar en cualquier otro lugar. Todo preparado a la perfección. Aunque la mayoría de las selecciones son fritas, nada es grasoso. No causará estragos en su sistema digestivo. Buffet todo lo que pueda comer; mejor ven con el tanque vacío y déjalo LLENO. Las verduras están bien condimentadas, pero no demasiado saladas. Una amplia selección de lados. Asientos estilo cafetería en su mayor parte, pero si tienes un grupo, no les importará que juntes las mesas. Cuando nuestro grupo se vaya, estipulo que cada vez que regrese a la mesa, se siente al lado de otros en su grupo para que TODOS puedan ponerse al día. Una cosa que distingue a este lugar de los demás son los POSTRES!!! ¡Me gusta hacer una ronda separada solo para los postres! Tarta de crema de coco, pudín de plátano como el que podría hacer tu Mamaw, pastel de Coca-Cola, pastel de fresas frescas (en temporada), rollos de naranja y canela, albóndigas de melocotón, helado suave y estoy seguro de que me he perdido algunos. Aunque Spearsville está bien fuera de los caminos trillados, Hollis Seafood genera negocios de una amplia gama. La gente de las parroquias de Union, Ouachita y Lincoln, así como del centro sur de Arkansas, son viajeros frecuentes. Tenga en cuenta que están abiertos los jueves, viernes y sábados por la noche. Los jueves, la selección es más limitada, pero ofrecen una noche de descuento solo los jueves. El número de personas que la familia Hollis sirve en un área tan extensa da fe de la alta calidad de la comida. Los precios están en el rango moderado pero considerando la selección, justificable. ¡Lo sacan del estadio cada vez!

Always on point. Just love it there (Traducido por Google) Siempre a punto. Me encanta allí

Even tho the place was crowded, food was plentiful and hot and very good. (Traducido por Google) Aunque el lugar estaba abarrotado, la comida era abundante, caliente y muy buena.
