New Chinese buffet opening in Trussville

TRUSSVILLE, Ala. (TRIBUNE) – A new Chinese buffet is getting ready to move into Trussville’s former Red Robin.

According to the Birmingham Business Journal, Joy East Buffet has signed a lease to move into the 6,397-foot space. The new restaurant is expected to open later this year.

Red Robin permanently closed its location at The Pinnacle back in September, reportedly after a lease agreement failed to be reached.

In 2016, there was a fire at the building that caused some damage, but no one was injured.
