The Most EXPENSIVE Buffet We Ate | Cafe Sierra

At $140 per person, Cafe Sierra at the Hilton Hotel in Universal City, Los Angeles, is the most expensive AYCE buffet we’ve tried. Was it worth it?

[@mikesmiles1158]

all good Bill, i'm watching and thank you folks for sharing , smiles

[@yvonneacosta2539]

Great!!!

[@sb-ux5lq]

Gland I cked back..

[@maha77]

I get full so fast I don't know if I could ever justify spending this much on a meal for myself, but it's fun to watch others do it!

[@legomars1]

Agree.

[@freelancelady]

I could not eat more than one plate. So I would need very small portions of each food and I could not get to the dessert. 😮😮😮

[@Iceyfire12]

Yea buffets were never for small eaters! I saw a girl go to a free burger event and she could only eat 40% of the burger and didn’t take the rest to go!

[@sunnyscott4876]

I agree with you 💯. A friend wanted to take me to the Wynn buffet for my birthday. I told her No, because I couldn't justify the cost vs. how much I could eat.

[@joroberts484]

I agree, I can’t eat that much now either. Glad others can enjoy it though.

[@aaronboogie4469]

Wow! This buffet looks incredible. I feel like the seafood outdoes Bacchanal and Wynn Buffet. Also… I think Erin needs a spin-off channel. She’s so relaxed and well-spoken in front of the camera.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Aaron! We'll pass that along to Erin.

[@ChrisandTaraCA]

Here we go! Watching now!!!

[@marciasanguinetti3900]

Your daughter Erin looks amazing - what a gorgeous natural beauty she is further enhanced by the lovely make up ! Great video, yummy food choices and that part where Lisa's said to Bill :"I'm talking about the crab...." killed me LOL along with her silence when she chewed and contemplated that snail thingie LOL !

[@billandlisa]

Thanks so much!

[@jackieo6969]

The Imperial Seafood buffet in Vegas has a new owner. The food looks so good and only $42 for Fri and Sat night

[@everhirstseyt2667]

The old man wouldn't stop going with endless wrong crepe toppings! I thought i was watching a The Sims game until Bill had to tell him nicely it was enough!

[@billandlisa]

It was all good, communication error, still tasted good. lol

[@clifforddriver9434]

You folks are so informative and awesome, thank you for everything.

[@randallnorton348]

Love hearing what you think. Have seen you where my wife and I have gone before. So we travel to a lot of places you cover. Thanks for your insight and inspiration

[@billandlisa]

You're so welcome. =)

[@retiredsockmonkey7257]

Thanks for sharing the buffet experience. A bit pricey but we will enjoy and experience through all of you. Love Erin's participation! Hoping Leslie will be more visible too. Enjoy❤

[@texadonkey34]

Looks fantastic and now I’m hungry😆. You guys visit the coolest places. I think seafood & steak, is making all the buffet’s expensive. Awesome dinner🥳☀⭐👍

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Kissy Kat! 😃

[@RizzaGonzales-p3y]

Could you please shout out my sister, Elisa, and her husband, Jay? Their 36th birthday (same day!) is coming up. They became huge fans during the pandemic and now we all watch your videos as soon as they come out! Thanks a lot!

[@billandlisa]

Absolutely! Look for it in a couple weeks (after the Vegas vlogs). Please tell them thank you so much for watching and supporting our channel. 🤗

[@elisamgonzales]

This is a fact! We love you Bill and Lisa and we enjoy watching your travels ❤

[@danimoney3087]

I had to stop watching - it drive me crazeeee - AMAZING choices of food definitely worth the price ( coming earlier , very smart !!! _ THANK YOU GUYS we love you !!!

[@donbustle5845]

Great video. Loved seeing Erin she is a natural at this too.

[@susanbiermann5902]

Can’t justify paying price for the amount I could eat but you guys go for it!!!!

[@ladyT_VR46]

Erin is so very beautiful and eloquent. You must be so proud ❤ xxx

[@billandlisa]

We are, thank you! 🤗

[@winniepoohbear8916]

That buffet looked better than the Bacanel in Vegas! I love Erin's makeup!!

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Winnie!

[@msavp4481]

Such a fun video, so much great food! Thanks you guys! Hi Erin and Leslie!

[@billandlisa]

You’re welcome, Sue! 😃

[@celiadileone2841]

Great vlog! Enjoyed seeing Erin and Sister too. Food looked amazing

[@dinkydoo4994]

Thanks for the video! Too much money, tho, just to enjoy the 1st few minutes of eating until you feel full and can't really enjoy other items. You go around and try the stuff you wouldn't normally try, or something that looks interesting, skipping the fillers like bread, soup, or even salad. Then you go back for more of what was good, then you're too full for dessert! That's our experience, anyways.

[@billandlisa]

That about sums up a trip to the buffet for us too. lol

[@gorymarty56]

Id leave the meats and just hit the seafood

[@wh0a12]

It looks like the food quality is back to what it was. However the price is doubled than before...that's insane.

[@SymoneD16]

Thats what I said! They went up like 50 bucks from the original menu, took off the lobster and crab, still charged 100. Left to "redo" the menu. Came back with their original menu, MINUS KING CRAB, then started charging 139. And they JUST recently, like a few days ago re-added King Crab again. SO they did all that, just to raise their original price.

[@barbsnyder6806]

Rewatched! Food looked great. Seafood can be pricey so the $139 price if a big eater can be justified. Hi Leslie! Erin you looked beautiful. Love the dark hair but I tell you that every time you are on here.

[@billandlisa]

Thank you, Barb!

[@ginNjus]

2 times the charm reload guys. Garlic snail....no shell no good otherwise it looks like a seafood extravaganza for the 4 of you guys. Great video....and nice dead pan humor by Bill...😂😂

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for watching!

[@danielvallelunga1596]

Hey Lisa!!!!! Hey Bill !!!!! Hey Erin!!!!! Hey Leslie!!!!! 🦀 🦀 🦀 🦀 🦀 I never had soft shell crab , would be cool to try it. The food looks good 🍴 🍽 🍽 🍴 ❤ 😊

[@billandlisa]

Hi Daniel!! You should try it when you get the chance, it's pretty good!

[@carolbrown6765]

Can I just say that I love Lisa! She is so cool! Love the video.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Carol!

[@yvonneacosta2539]

Don't remember what I wrote on the original upload. 😂 Great to see Erin and Lesley join you for dinner. Erin saying they have "live meat" had me laughing. I know she meant to say "live lobster" but all I can think is cows waiting in the back. LOL Watching Lesley shake her head "no" when Lisa was about to eat the snail had me laughing. Great review. Pricey but definitely want to check it out.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Yvonne! Had some audio issues on the first upload. This hotel buffet is located next to Universal Studios Hollywood.

[@danielwilliams6082]

If you ever get to Boston you should go to The Nordic in Charlestown Rhode Island. The weekend brunch is incredible

[@ForeverChanged7]

All the food looked yummy. Well prepared and well executed. It looks alot less extravagant than last year but it looked good. Like you said Lisa, this would be a personal buffet for us. Great review. Loved Aren. She's full of zip and I liked her comparison she gave with the Bachenal in Los Vegas. Cheers you guys and thanks for taking me along. Great content as always.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Paula! Always great when Erin can join us in the vlog.

[@annemurray3913]

absolute beautiful looking food

[@JimandVal]

Have you guys ever done the Sterling Brunch Buffet in Bally’s before it closed? That used to be one of the most expensive… we went a couple time (before KZbin) and really enjoyed it. Wish that would come back 😢

[@billandlisa]

Sadly, we never got to try it because it was only held on the weekends and our days off are midweek.

[@aegontargaryen69]

Tbh it was going downhill before it closed. They started using a cheaper champagne and lower quality produce whilst still increasing the price. The cheese poppers were amazing though, always had to stop myself from filling up on them.

[@johnhunady3526]

Totally agree on this comment.

[@stevelogan5475]

Food looks very good , I like seafood & can eat more than beef, pork, chicken , etc... I'd say go here starving , lol , do you think it was worth the money ? I'm not sure it is, Have a great day

[@belinagarcia2923]

This buffet is ok but next time you're in the Bay Area, you MUST go to this one, looks fabulous!!...

[@leanders2k]

This couple are pros in the buffet game--small portions spread out

[@stephc1144]

The crepe chef went wild 🎉😅

[@billandlisa]

No joke! lol

[@sherriedolder900]

Thank you for showing this place. However, I will probably not go, I agree that the Bachannal is better for choices. You guys are great! Lisa I love your shirt! Happy unbirthday Bill!

[@billandlisa]

Thank. you, Sherrie! We're thinking the same about the Bacchanal, better deal in comparison.

[@jesusisfaithful7]

I HAVE NEVER EATEN AT A BUFFET BEFORE BUT THIS FOOD REALLY LOOKS GOOD. THANKS FOR SHARING, KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT JOB 👏🏽😁👍🏼

[@billandlisa]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@gloriagibney3085]

That prime rib looked perfect for my taste.... it all looked Good 👍😋 But I missed the price .... okay I saw the $42.00 cost in the comments, Good Price for the quality ☑️💯😊 PS I would overload with sweets...$139..oh NOOOOOOOOO Way to expensive

[@bmccarthy518]

When you think of the price of food. This buffet is a great deal. Excellent video.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for watching!

[@sunnyscott4876]

This is just overwhelming. What do they do with all this food that doesn't get eaten? Donate it to the local homeless shelter every day?

[@crystalsherman8896]

The Sunday seafood buffet at the Breakers in Palm Beach would be worth your while to visit.

[@Christine_1075]

Everything looks so Fresh

[@allisonabbott-kline4765]

Crab is great anytime! We always have it for Christmas Eve and Fridays during Lent.

[@dotjai330]

WHOA!!! $140/person? Holy king crab leg, batman

[@marycrosbie546]

The easiest way to get the crab out of the leg is to take a small fork tine and crack open the side of the shell. It should open up quite easily and let you pull out the entire piece.

[@darrenmeunsaveng]

Seafood only if I’m paying that much. No time for carbs😂

[@lizmelo7315]

Everything looked so good!! seems like a nice place for a special celebration. I would go for sure!

[@MRSTEEL15]

Price is high due to gas prices....It trickles down to the customer

[@lorisheppard5916]

It was nice seeing Erin and Leslie! The food looks good, love seeing you guys living your best life!

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Lori!

[@Much984]

That looks like a well maintained Buffet

[@myworms]

Jesus, I think it was maybe half that when I ate there 10 years ago.

[@US_Joe]

You can only eat so much. Many people stuff themselves with junk and appetizers, to which the establishment count on before the main entre. For that amount of $, I would prefer a regular sit down experience, to which you have table service, ambient lighting, as well as a more comfortable and quiet environment. Just my 2 cents. Thanx guys and regards👍👍👍💫💫💫

[@billandlisa]

We did a video just on this topic, for the same price, buffet or steakhouse? kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5KqiJaJaMacb5I

[@serenity8901]

For $140 that crepe maker should've got your order correct and the sushi hand-roll should've been better. No excuse that the crepe maker is older. I've seen elderly individuals get away with doing things like this. Some are hard of hearing, get hired, and do whatever. Did he do a good job at his station yes, but I would've requested another one made the way I asked for the first time.

[@mickeysantana725]

Everything looks delicious wish I was with you guys ,your all awesome be safe ☝🏽🫶🏼🫵🏽👵🏼

[@joemeer652]

Love your channel and hate to say anything to the contrary. But instead of “hey if you can afford it check it out…” address the lack of value in this restaurant and don’t recommend it. Maybe they’ll rationalize their pricing.

[@billandlisa]

We hear you, Joe. Lack of value depends on the person, for us, it wasn't worth the price. For others, they don't mind paying for it. We appreciate your input and thank you for watching. =)

I've been dying to go there but it's so expensive. Everything looks incredible.

[@b14m23]

Probably worth the price to try things I would never order off a regular menu. The sushi, half lobster and soft shell crabs are worth a try. I'm hungry now.

[@tonyyoung5699]

$140 per person?! No disrespect but you guys got played big time! I rather go to the bacchanal Buffet in Las Vegas for $75 per person and be treated to literally the same food selections as you would get at cafe sierra... smh i cant believe they charging folks $140 when it use to be $50-$60 per person a little over a year ago...

[@billandlisa]

We hear you. Until they lower their price to something reasonable, we won't be going back.

[@gloriawinbush1590]

Can I ask how many homeless people you all walked past to go waste food?

[@melodeev5487]

This place really needs to up their game if they want to keep charging that price. This buffet didn't strike me as extraordinary at all, which it would absolutely have to at that price.

I have basically bouggt the same groceries for 3 years now -started after a major surgery. The cost of these same groceries has over tripled - close to quadrupled in those 3 years. So when i see the over 100 dollar proce on buffets woth all that seafood - i feel its justified based on my own groceries! Plus the low available product on US waters. We've kinda eaten ourselves out of availability! A great video! Love your mix of high dollar and reasonable priced eateries! And when you bring in family reinforcement!❤ ❤❤❤❤

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Starr Lacey. We do try and bring all kind of eats to our channel, a little something for everyone. =)
