It is worth every penny it costs!!

There is a good variety of food. The catfish was very good but just about everything else was loaded with pepper and hot spices. We do not care for spicey food. It would be great if they let people put their own seasoning instead of making it so spicey that we couldn't eat it.

We love this place! Everything is great and even have good quality. Not to many buffets where you’ll get good service and great food! If you see a bad review don’t believe the hype! There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this “hidden valley buffet” and I mean NOTHING! Those who are making 1 star reviews are obviously very judgmental and senseless! BEST CATFISH HANDS DOWN!!!

Good buffet. Catfish good. Peel n eat shrimp good. Love those crab shells with stuffing. However, they have issues with dirty silverware and dishes. So go, but look closely before using plates, bowls and silverware. Price for me $16...reasonably priced for seafood and catfish. This type of food is NOT cheap.

Lots of fried foods. All tasted good. Very flavorful boiled shrimp. Buffet was crowded and difficult to navigate sure to its tight location near front register. Dining room was very crowded and difficult to walk through due to close table arrangements. Wait staff was friendly and helpful.

This was our first time to go here and it was wonderful! The fish was hot and fried crispy. There was a variety of Fish, Cajun fish, chicken, shrimp, deviled crab and quail. The sides were wonderful with a large variety. In addition there was a wonderful salad bar and desert bar. I would highly recommend Hidden Valley and will definitely be back!

Friendly, Country style catfish house. If you love fried foods, you'll be in heaven. Besides catfish, on my visit they had fried okra, mushrooms, pickles & jalapeno peppers. They also had traditional country sides of greens, green beans, corn on the cob & other favorites. Not to mention the peel-em eat-em shrimp. It is a hidden gem just outside of Conway.

This place has kinda went downhill since the previous owners sold it. Still good and still holds most of the same quality as before but a little diminished. Frog legs are still good if not better than before. Green tomato relish is the best i have ever had. Prices went up so i dont visit near as often as i did. I have been going to this place for over 20 years and never had 1 bad experience.

Food is great. Wait staff is cordial. The location is marked well, even though it is "hidden" by a couple of hills. Prices are in line with other restaurants in the area (near Conway). I'm part of a group who eats there almost every month and I seldom hear a complaint.

The food is not that good, although there is plenty of variety. Most catfish places in the area are better than this one. That said, I wouldn't pass on it if I'm craving a seafood buffet and don't have time to drive to another one. They're very friendly and the service is great.

Like the atmosphere. It's got Cajun spice. But maybe just a tad too much. Everything is almost too hot to enjoy without drowning the heat with your drink.

Excellent food, including some of the best shrimp, I have had on a buffet but you should bring your own fan, it is really hot inside the restaurant in the summer. My guess is existing A/C can't keep up. Could definitely use a mini split.

We have eaten here many times and the food has always been great. They had huge frog legs and great, large fillets. I guess they have changed management, again. We went a week ago and we were terribly disappointed. The frog legs were very small, the catfish fillets appeared to have been cut down the middle, they were thin strips and cook so long it was like eating crust. They have added mac and cheese and broccoli rice casserole, which are both very good. But, at 7:30 they were out of mac and cheese and when I asked if there would be more, I was rudely told no! We had to wait on fillets and frog legs when we first got there and then went back twice and had to wait. I really hate this has gone down like it has, it has always been one of our favorite places to eat, every other week. I'm not sure we will any more.

Great food! Just plain old school fish buffet with all the trimmings. Plenty to eat. The staff is friendly as can be. The only downside is the price. Almost thirty bucks for my son and I. The place was clean and everyone seemed to be family too. Pretty good overall. I will go back. But it's a bit too pricey for a regular trip. Special occasions or a splurge treat for sure.

The food is ok, unique variety was nice! Not exactly "fancy", but all you can eat at a fair price. Eating areas were tight, the buffet areas were close together and next to a kitchen with no door. Not everything was clearly labeled, and the staff didn't really say much. At least they were not rude.

I love this place. My only complaint is there are very few sides that are not spicy hot. I feel they should have more choices for kids and chickens like me. The potatoe salad is spicy, the green beans are spicy, the fried mushrooms are spicy, the greens are spicy, the cooked cabbage is spicy! Those are all things I would eat if they were not spicy. Could you do a pole of customers to see if they would like more non-spicy choices?* * *Since I wrote this, they have added some new choices that are kid friendly and adult friendly (Mac n Cheese). I'm not sure about all the changes, but I still love this place. Their specials by night are: Fridays are Quail nites and Saturdays are Frog Leg nites! As for the spicy foods, you could always put Tabasco sauce out for those who want heat instead of IN the items.

Took my mother here for mother's day and it was very disappointing. With catfish in the name one would think they would have an abundance of catfish, but that was not the case by any means. The buffet was a joke. When they eventually replenished the empty dishes by the time I got back up to the line they were empty again. Definitely won't be back.

Maybe it was a bad night since we had heard great things about this restaurant, but the fish was soggy and "fishy". The batter on the chicken and the hush puppies were way too spiced in my opinion. I doubt I will be back.
