We have ate there before and was good. Had the buffet and it was the worst meal that I have ever had. The food was over cooked and dry plus it cost $30.00 for two buffet. I will not be eating there again!!

Arrived at 9:15 PM on a Tuesday after a long day of driving, to find Meridy’s closed. I did get one of the servers to talk with me. He said their hours are based on customer “flow.” I worked in restaurant business for a while: no restaurant ever closed early. Since they closed almost an hour early, I must provide a “do not recommend” as they did not adhere to their posted hours.

and the lounge is excellent!!...ive been here twice...the food is down-home....the service is great...the staff is great....if uve never been here...ur missing out!!
