Staff is pretty nice, enough to leave a good tip. Food sometimes seems a little old, like it sat out too long. Selection has gone downhill, don't know if that's Covid related or what. Also they say ribeye steaks for the buffet but they never have any out anymore. It's just not worth it anymore. My family use to love this place and go there at least once a month but haven't been there in awhile now and that's cause it made me sick last time.

Food was terrible! We got there at 12:15, most items where dried out like they had been cooked for hours, alot of hot items where Luke warm. General chicken is one of my favorites and I had one bite! Egg rolls where the best thing they had on buffet.

I'll be honest: looks are deceiving. The outside looked shady as hell but the food was great and the service was AWESOME. The front counter person started us off with a big smile and warm greeting. The food was almost steamy and hot. And the "busboy" was always around to get us refills and take away our dirty dishes. Will definitely go back again!Parking: Plenty of room up front and in the lot.Kid-friendliness: Superb. All employees were friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: No issues noticed.

I love this place so much! It is very hard to eat everything you want, because there is so much to try! There is plenty of protein and veggies, so there is something for literally everyone. I just came back to Iowa after 5 years, and this place continues to make me very happy!Dietary restrictions: Huge buffet with great variety. Anyone can find something hereKid-friendliness: Good selection of kid friendly meals. And icecream too.

This place is great for a colon cleanse. Been there twice, never fails. The conditions of the signs outside pretty much give a consumer a precursor to what’s inside. Place needs to have a deep cleaning and some serious updating.

The food was varied, tasty and served at the right temperature. The restaurant could be brighter and updated a bit, but otherwise everything was very clean. Because of poor reviews we almost didn’t come, but are so glad we did. Huge selection of food to choose from.

Surprise surprise we got food poisoning after eating here. Food is ALWAYS cold even if they just put it out. Dirty place should be shut down. Never again.

Poor selection, the only American is mashed potatoes and gravy. The “sushi” was disappointing, and the place was so dirty. Would not recommend to anyone.

10 years ago this place had amazing food. it's really sad to see how far they've let it go. A beautiful fountain when you enter the door. They used to have a nice fish tank that the kids loved to watch the fish. The sushi used to be absolutely amazing but they changed the recipes. The spicy mayo was the best I ever had! now The flavor is completely different and it tastes so dry. I think the only way this place can save itself from closure ? is to bring back the old recipes and offer lunch time special pricing and to advertise the return of the old recipes.
