Mashed Names Rhode Island's Best Buffet Restaurant

The food website went with its pick despite its pricy fare.

CHARLESTOWN, RI — The food website Mashed named Rhode Island's best buffet restaurant.

Mashed went with The Nordic in Charlestown, despite its prices.

"The Nordic is one of the most expensive buffets in the country, so don't expect a cheap meal when you sit down at the popular waterside eatery," the Mashed story said. "The price for adults is $145 per person, $60 for children aged 8 to 12, and $35 for children aged 3 to 7. That sounds pretty steep, but considering that you can fill up on prime rib, a high-quality and costly cut of steak, it seems worth it for a special occasion.

"One of the main draws of dining at The Nordic is that you can chow down on prime rib," according to Mashed, but there is much, much more, including lobster, snow crab legs, fried scallops, scallops wrapped in bacon and black angus filet mignon.
