OK. Drink area where you help yourself to drinks and the buffet. Food was good, but it hit me like taco bell about an hour later... ? So be prepared for that...

If there was a way to leave a quarter star I legitimately would. In all fairness , it was busy when my family and I chose to bring our business. However, it was a thoroughly un-enjoyable experience through and through. The food was poor quality. And the service? Horrendous. Literally had to tell the gentleman our drinks four separate times. I had two toddlers (one with autism) and was literally stared at and asked if she was going to continue crying. I had several other customers address that statement and state themselves that it was just flat out disrespectful. Several remarks were made by the gentleman serving folks their drinks about how frustrated he was at the place being busy. I'm guessing he was the owner and should probably hire better help then what he has to offer because it's far from up to par. The bathroom also had a giant puddle of urine and was disgusting as well.Update: APPARENTLY the owner finds it to be a hobby to redirect criticism about his hostile demeanor he put out and poor service and push it off on customers in response to poor reviews as well. Firstly, If your going to make a statement about RESPECT you should work on your own. It's hippocritical. Secondly, I had a hungry 2 year old who was ready to eat, so yes she was upset. If you've been around children with autism that were well behaved but before you make an uneducated statement on it understand it's not a single condition. There are several forms and just because one does not possess the one you've encountered makes them no less of a person then the one that you did. I did not possess an arrogant demeanor with our encounter whatsoever and to say that after you yourself were flatout ugly and ill tempered is amusing to me. I have several relatives that work in the food business and they'd all agree that you were rude and poor mannered. I have a very high respect for the things that people in your line of work tolerate and deal with by the day so before you rant on about how "you don't have to deal with this" be thankful that I didn't give the response you deserved. You sure didn't have any typing to do about the urine that stood 2 inches higher than the tile In your restrooms. On the contrary, I'm sure your food is good when it hasn't been sitting there getting cold because you can't manage your establishment and refuse to hire help or buy the necessary items to insure it doesn't. Read that you said ' IT'S PHYSICS' on another customers review, you know, cause clearly you thoroughly enjoy arguing through criticism instead of taking the necessary steps to prevent another. You should really watch what you say because one day you're gonna have to answer for it sir. I'll say a prayer for you you poor little mangy dog.

When first entering the restaurant it was very peaceful and we were greeted well, only for it to be followed up with are you dining in because we close in 45 mins in (quite annoyed tone). This was the one and only time we saw our server. Due to it being late we were very understanding of the fewer options of food, but the options they had out were very dry and of poor quality tasting. They did have good sauces along with deserts out. It was a cute spot, but due to the poor attitude of the sever and the low quality the food was at i do not recommend.

It was a great place to dine but the buffet had a shortage of vegetarian choices and they were short staffed that night, with only one cook, so I couldn't order from the menu. Otherwise...awesome!

I've been to eat here about 6 times. The last time my family and I decided to eat here, very recently didn't go well. We came in asked for waters. The guy yells," Everyone wants water!" with an attitude and throws things where he's making the drinkings. So, we just left. There were no other customers there, and It was just 3 of us. ??‍♀️

We eat here every year on our way home from Florida. It's usually pretty good. This year it was awful. Not sure why.

Me and my husband went to have lunch there. The buffet tasted really good and the staff were really sweet and welcoming. My husband can't wait to come back so he can try frog legs for the dinner buffet! Definitely will go back!

Buffett is not stocked with food properly for more than a couple people in restaurant. Had to wait for food entire time but,when they keep it stocked it's fair if that's only choice u got. Waitress was friendly and it seemed clean. And no sushi at all on bar.Dietary restrictions: If you have a gluten allergy not many choices at all unless u like salad meal.

The owners service sucked and he must of been real busy (the restaurant was empty) because we weren’t welcome to eat an hour before they closed. Walked in at 730 and he was completely rude to my fiancé and I.. then when I didn’t wanna eat anymore and turned around to leave.. he wanted to try to beg us to get Chinese to go… 0/10 don’t recommend
