Went for the buffet, which is nice if you have a big appetite.Otherwise, consider getting a to go order instead, which is a good price. While there was a decent variety of items, it wasn't enough to warrant more than 2 trips to the line. Lots of seating, lots of parking in the lots, and you pay for your (buffet) meal after eating. The staff busing tables were on top of things and thorough about cleanliness. My favorite items were the beef short rib, peel and eat shrimp, the rice containing carrots and peas, and the watermelon punch. Everything else was okay. One miss was that the foods weren't labeled, so at times, I had no clue what I was trying. There were a good number of folks dining in and getting takeout. I can tell they're well liked. Afterwards I stopped by confections and nuts store a few doors down.

This restaurant has been our go to Middle Eastern buffet restaurant for over 10 years. They serve a variety of hot and cold items that are freshly made in their kitchen. From dolmas to lamb shanks to falafel to rice, they never disappoint. we have become close with many of the staff who greeted us like family. They also provide a great catering option and buffet to go, which is well priced. If you want a full experience, visit them during the holy month of Ramadan. There are several special items that are on the buffet menu during that time.

Best Gyro in town!! I've loved this spot for years. I'll drive all the way from St. Paul for the gyro and fries basket. And they're not overpriced like other restaurants. I haven't tried the buffet yet, but all the food looks delicious!

We have previously visited big marina buffet before Covid many times and today is the first time we revisited here in person. During these years we have ordered from big marina for delivery. Their food was always well packed, well priced and the portion is just unbeatable. On today's visit we learned this place is very family friendly and there are many high chairs available. The restaurant was packed with guests with children and we were still able to secure high chair. The options of food is well, drinks are also included. We like their gyro, hummus, baba and many other items. The restaurant isn't fancy but the value and quality of the food is very well. The servers are quick and nice, we had a great experience.

I love the food at Big Marina. They have the best Greek salad and gyro meat. The buffet is always a hit, and the food is too cheap, given the quality and service. I will often call them to cater for my work events too. They sell almost everything on their menu by tray, and it's always a hit at events.

Big Marina is my go-to for Mediterranean food. We usually get the Big Marina Platter as it is HUGE and incredibly well-priced. Their gyros are also excellent. The restaurant itself is pretty small and usually crowded, but I'm excited to come for the buffet one day!

Reliably good family friendly buffet. Prices are lower than you'd expect for food of this quality. The establishment is a bit underwhelming on the outside but the food makes up for it. Always has immediate seating and a fresh variety of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and American food. I appreciate the baklava and other traditional desserts they constantly refill. Have gone here for the past decade and will continue to visit Big Marina when I'm in the area.

easy to find, easy to get in and be seated. It has like 18 tables or so. Three Buffay tables a lot of Middle Eastern food. And for small restaurant I believe they are doing a good job. Very efficient and the food was never missing they always replenished the stock. This place is family friendly and they have an ice cream machine which is my favorite thing at buffet usually. The good thing here you can have your keto diet or your vegan diet. Parking is Rachel easy to park.
