At 4:51 the menu states 2 hours. They must have changed the policy without updating the menu. That being said, when I go to buffets I get pretty full within 45 minutes. If you concentrate on the expensive seafood and meats and skip the relatively inexpensive items such as bread, pancakes, waffles, salads, and pasta, 90 minutes should be enough to sample essentially all the premium items.
