Great buffet for your American staple breakfast foods - fresh and tasty, and not overly expensive. Service was also very good and staff were friendly. The decorative clocks apparently represent all of the locations that they order their ingredients from. Highly recommend.

Don't let the rough around the edges look put you off. Very friendly with great service. I wanted a straightforward breakfast buffet and enjoyed all of my selections. My wife ordered an omelet and enjoyed it immensely.

We decided to stop in for dinner and it was the best service ever. My kids LOVED the spaghetti and meatballs on the buffet and we loved the burgers and Philli cheese steak.The owner was the one restocking the buffet and he was very nice and chatty.Kid-friendliness: My kids served themselves at the buffet. One of them dropped his food on the floor and immediately cleaned it up. The staff was super nice and got him a new plate and thanked him for cleaning up his mess.

The service is fine and the staff for helpful Ambience is lacking, both outside in the inside of the restaurant should be a code violation for the fashion police The food would be better served to prisoners for free. it was disgusting though cheap to purchase. You can have as much as you wanted. I would suggest not coming here unless you're on a budget and are starving I need to binge. Let me put it this way. You can go and get free food handouts from the homeless shelter. And the homeless shelter. Food has better quality food than this place. I don't wanna be mean to these people, but it was so disgusting. I was shocked that this place is open. I saw what was coming here to feed as patrons. And it's basically what I described. It's hard up people that are working class Tucson Desperate for food, eating their one meal at the all, they can eat buffet. Slamming as many plates as they can to get as many calories as they can. Actually went behind this restaurant to my car and force myself to throw up. Then I drank half a bottle of Pepto-Bismol. I didn't complain I didn't file a health report to the health inspector, I just should've known better when I walked into the place, I should've just turned out, turned around, got in my car and drove off Literally, it was my fault after seeing the inside of this place and the outside of this place for eating here If you come here and eat, literally you're taking your life in your own hands and you're risking food poisoning Like I said the staff was nice and I feel so bad and so sorry for him. I didn't call the health department or I would've. I left them a tip of five dollars because I felt so bad for the staff working here But unless you're like starving and cannot get food stamps because you're one dollar over the $23,000 poverty limit. Then don't come here. Oh by the way, I think they do take food stamps, but I could be wrong on that. I mean just go drive around the place a few times and decide whether you want to play Russian roulette with your health. And if you do if you want an experience in Tucson where the staff is nice, but the food looks like something out of a Godzilla movie. Then, please go Tell me it's like one of those Halloween horror movies on your plate that like reaches up and just grabs your throat and pulls you down into the plate while you're screaming and then they take your digestive body, put it on the goddamn buffet I'm I mean, literally, drive around the place then poke your head in and decide do I want to eat here or not? I mean it's your fault for eating here it's nobody else's mean you you can check the health department listing on this place. I literally ate here in 2023 for the first time and I've lived in Tucson the majority of my life, and this place is older than me. I don't know how this place survived other than the patrons of this establishment that came in look like they could eat a Texas breakfast, which include an ostrich deep fried in pig fat, and not even blink So I am, I'm actually gonna give the staff three stars I'm not gonna rate the quality of the food or the ambience because you might actually need an ambulance after leaving this establishment. Because I did not put my finger down my throat and puke. I hurled before I hit my car. And the most expensive thing on the menu that I consumed. Was my bottle of non-generic Pepto-Bismol, because I wanted to make sure that I survived this encounter And I never came back again , it was such a nightmare that I actually wanted to forget this experience. I drove my mother here for her birthday, and she started screaming at me and hollering at me that she wasn't going to eat here again. And I had to tell her it was just a joke that we were going to a steakhouse

My wife and I went here for the breakfast buffet this morning. According to the reviews this place has very good food but to us it is the opposite food wasn’t fresh to me plus all the food was dry they also had a line with fruit and sweets but I couldn’t. I’m not picky when it comes to food literally I love eating food but this time I went back home to have a good and fresh breakfast….

Went today with my wife and kids for the first time and had to leave within minutes of being served our drinks. The plates were dirty with crumbs on them. I mention we’d be leaving because of that. “I’m sorry about that” was all I was told. No attempt to take them to the back to clean them. Will not bother trying this place again.
