The KFC Buffet Has FINALLY Returned to Indiana

Do you remember KFC locations with buffets? Just when you thought they were a thing of the past, they're making a bit of a comeback.

When I was a kid growing up in the 90s, my parents would always want to go out to eat at buffets. Back then, they weren't the restaurants that I typically wanted to go to, but the older I got, the more I enjoyed a nice buffet. I know that buffets sometimes get a bad rep from people, but I love them. Let's be honest, when you go to a restaurant, sometimes one plate just isn't enough. Buffets allow you to eat as much as you want.  Something about "all-you-can-eat" just makes me happy, because it reminds me of my childhood.

Do You Remember KFC Buffets?

Back in the day, we would go out to eat at various buffets like Golden Corral, Siroloin Stockade, Ryan's, Old Country Buffet, and Ponderosa Steakhouse. Sadly, many of these well-known buffets have either gone out of business completely or have greatly reduced the number of locations over the years. One buffet that we used to frequent was actually the KFC buffet. Do you remember those? We are talking about juicy Kentucky Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes, biscuits, green beans, and other fixings, which were served buffet style.

What Happened to KFC Buffets?

I couldn't tell you the last time that I saw a KFC location with a buffet. We used to have a few in my neck of the woods, but they shut down the buffet years ago. According to Yahoo!:

The number of buffet KFC locations was further reduced following the COVID-19 pandemic. As of 2024, the chain currently has 22 buffets open in the United States and Canada. You'll just have to be crafty in your search methods to sniff out the rarified KFC buffet.

Fortunately, there are still a few KFC locations in America that offer the buffet. However, they are far and few between. Perhaps you have visited KFC's website to see which locations have buffets, only to find that none of the locations have them listed. Each location really just shows the address and location. There's no mention of a buffet anywhere. So how, then, can one track down a KFC buffet? Well, you'll have to get crafty and scour the internet. That's exactly what I did when I stumbled upon a Facebook group called KFC Buffet Aficionados, a group dedicated to locating these buffet-style eateries. When I found the page, I only had one question.

How Many KFC Locations in Indiana Still Have a Buffet?

The Facebook group, KFC Buffet Aficionados, has a user-created atlas of group-confirmed KFC buffets still open in America. According to the map, the number of locations that have the buffet has increased since I last checked. In 2025, there were at least 16 KFC buffets left in the United States. As of this writing, there are over 30! That's a good sign that the KFC Buffet is making a comeback!

Last year, when I looked at the map, Indiana didn't have any KFC Buffets remaining in the state. However, as of June 4th, Indiana FINALLY has a KFC Buffet, and I couldn't be more excited.

KFC Buffet Making a Comeback in Indiana!

According to posts on KFC Buffet Aficionados, the buffet is back at KFC in Corydon, Indiana. As of this writing, this is the only one of the 97 Indiana locations that is offering the buffet. According to one post:

Looks like they have a full-service menu plus the buffet. Buffet hours are 11 am-7 pm daily. Buffet consists of coleslaw, potato salad, macaroni salad, cottage cheese, peaches, jalapeños, tapioca pudding, brown gravy, country gravy, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, mixed vegetables, green beans, chicken and dumplings, cornbread, biscuits, white and dark meat fried chicken separated by type of meat & cherry cobbler.

Here's to hoping that other Indiana KFC locations follow suit. I haven't had a KFC Buffet since I was a kid, but man, it sounds really good right about now!
