As we previously reported, the owners of C as in Charlie on Bleecker Street, and Kisa on Allen and Houston, signed a 10-year lease for the space — an all-you-can-eat Southern buffet is headed to the East Village.
According to a May 19 report in Food & Wine, restaurateur David Yun — a co-owner of Kisa and C as in Charlie — said the concept will offer an all-you-can-eat spread for $26.99, featuring Southern comfort-food staples such as fried chicken, Salisbury steak, collard greens, mac and cheese, and cornbread.
Yun told Food & Wine that affordability is part of the appeal.
"At that price, it won't be too difficult for people to come in and try," he said. "People can't always just go and try a new three-star, fine-dining restaurant, but most people could come [to our buffet] to see if they like it or not."
The opening date is set for this month.
P.S.
We like the retro signage, btw... created by Noble Signs in Brooklyn... who also run the New York Sign Museum.

I can’t wait to try some good old-fashioned comfort food, especially collard greens, in our East Village neighborhood! Welcome!!
ReplyDeleteYessssss more buffets please. And more by weight places. Brazil is doing it right.
ReplyDeleteAlright I'll give it a try.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I wish them good luck!
ReplyDeleteJust say $27.00, not $26.99. I get so tired of this.
ReplyDeletea penny saved is a penny earned!
DeleteLooking forward to this!
ReplyDeleteSouthern food is so delicious and comforting. I just need to get my dad bod back into shape as summer arrives. The plan is to visit soon on one of my cheat days. Mac and cheese with Salisbury steak, can't wait. Welcome to the hood.
ReplyDeleteThat sign is fantastic! I'm pretty much blown away by this price point (it's getting harder to find $27 entrees on menus, let alone AYCE for that price).... man does it seem like this place is doing everything right!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the neighborhood, I can't wait to to have a Good Time!
will they have sneeze guards?
ReplyDeleteI hope they take reservations. It’s going to be mobbed. I don’t want to stand on line waiting for hours. I really want to be a regular but will skip it if it’s unbearable just to get a table.
ReplyDeleteSounds great for customers. We’ll have to see how good the all you can eat is for the owners as it doesn’t tend to attract the 95 pound dancer crowd :). Hopefully they don’t get eaten out of business.
ReplyDeleteBeats a good ole TV dinner anyday!
