There’s definitely a range. I was a 4th generation SDA on both sides of the family - both of which were pretty strictly observant, though my parents were a little less so. Meat was absolutely off the table (haha). And I don’t know if we ever went to an SDA function where it was. Perhaps that has changed since we left 20 years ago. Buffets were really a big part of Sabbath afternoons for many of my childhood years, and we knew many other SDAs for whom it was the same. The local SDA hospital still has a Hometown Buffet nearby that hasn’t been closed yet. (We were non-strict enough to allow paying for something on Sabbath — though that would have crossed the line for many people we knew.)
