[edit] Menu Items

Old Country Buffet restaurants feature a wide spread of menu items, in the following categories:

Salads (Pre-made salads, as well as a standard salad bar, with a large number of ingredients with which customers can make their own)
Meats (At least three carved meats are always offered at dinner, along with traditional fare such as fried fish or baked chicken)
Entrees (Casseroles, side items, as well as hot breads and vegetables)
Soup (A minimum of two soups are offered, they are usually placed near the salad bar)
Desserts (A large number of cakes, pies, and other related goodies. Several sugar-free items are available, as well as soft-serve ice cream with appropriate toppings). On selected weekdays, banana splits and the "Flurry" dessert is offered (the flurry is very similar to Dairy Queen's Blizzard)
Beverages (All buffets come with unlimited beverages [except for Nogales, AZ locations]). Restaurants offer Coca-Cola products, as well as milk, iced tea, coffee, and water.

Menu items change daily, but a set weekly schedule is usually established. Restaurants offer both a lunch buffet, as well as a dinner buffet. The dinner buffet features items not featured on the lunch buffet.

Participating restaurants offer a weekend breakfast buffet, featuring a make-your-own-omelet station, where omelets are made to-order.

[edit] Mascot

Old Country Buffet restaurants have created a bee mascot, derived from its popular nickname "OCB." The "OC Bee" makes periodic appearances at select locations, taking the form of an employee dressed in a bee costume.
