This Is the Best Buffet in Wisconsin, Known for Its Steak

You'll find plenty of buffets in the Badger State, offering everything from fried chicken to seafood—especially in places that cater to family vacations, like the Wisconsin Dells. There are even a few all-you-can-eat buffets that specialize in steak dinners, but trust me when I say that they're not all on equal footing. In fact, few buffet restaurants—let alone buffets that serve steak—are as well reviewed as North Country Steak Buffet in La Crosse, a place where loyal customers have been coming back again and again for a quarter of a century. This is why I think it's the best buffet restaurant for steak in Wisconsin, and I suspect you'll agree.

You'll find North Country Steak Buffet along U.S. Route 53 overlooking the Black River north of downtown La Crosse. This unassuming restaurant offers the kind of Western-esque vibe you might expect to find at a Midwestern buffet restaurant with "steak" in the name. The high-ceilinged dining room is open and airy, with plenty of light and room for carrying heavily-laden plates of food to and from the tables.

The buffet line is wide and well-spaced, so you won't need to feel crowded or rushed as you proceed with your meal-building adventures. The main grill features, which are available daily, include your choice of sirloin steak or sirloin burger, chicken breast, or pork chops.

The meal price includes a choice of potato with your grill selection. In addition, you can partake in the all-you-can-eat salad and taco bars, as well as fruit and yogurt parfaits and dessert bar selections. You could fill yourself up before you even dive into the steak.

A rotating selection of other hot items changes daily throughout the week. For example, on Tuesdays, you may find items such as meatloaf, fried chicken, mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes. Friday specials, on the other hand, may include baked or battered fish, along with other seafood and sides. The selections will vary between weekday lunches, weekend brunches, and nightly dinners (except Mondays, when the restaurant is closed). The buffet prices start at $15.00 for adult lunches. Dinner or brunch is currently $17 for adults. Kids and seniors enjoy discounted prices.

Next time you're craving a hearty meal in the Badger State, make your way over to North Country Steak Buffet in La Crosse—I think it's the best buffet for steak in Wisconsin. To learn more about the buffet, including daily or seasonal specials, pay a visit to the restaurant's website.

If you're not from the area, or even if you are and want a little staycation, plan ahead and book a stay at this gorgeous La Crosse castle bed and breakfast. The Mississippi River valley and the Driftless Area are some of the most beautiful parts of the Badger State, and you'll find plenty to explore here.
