The Buffet is called The Buffet because it used to be a buffet. It is located in the Ironhorse District of Old Town Tucson, right near the railroad station, north of the downtown business district and less than a half mile south of the University of Arizona. Railroad employees lived here around the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. After Prohibition was repealed in 1933, the Buffet began serving alcohol and, in 1934, became the Buffet Bar.
Hey, it wouldn't be a buffet if we didn't have food. Our friendly and helpful staff are trained and experienced in the fine art of boiling hot dogs. Fresh dogs are boiled in beer all day long in our formerly-almost-state-of-the-art crock pot. We can also toss a polish sausage into the pot and it will be ready in minutes. We proudly serve a fine selection of potato chips, popcorn and pork rinds. They are already bagged, ready to eat and they're only a buck. Untouched by human hands! For fifty cents, you can get a basket of peanuts. Bon appetit!
Everybody has Happy Hour, and sometimes they drag on for hours and hours. At the Buffet, we get right to the point with Happy Minute. Actually, we have two: At 6:00 p.m. on the dot, you get two-for-one and at 11:00 p.m., on the dot, we give you the best deal around: For one buck, you get one drink just like the one in front of you. (One buck!) Now how's that for a deal?
