“On February 14th 2024, Valentines Day, my family of 4 walked into Tonya's Buffet at around 6:50pm we had no idea it closed in 10 minutes. We were literally just looking for a place to eat as a family on Valentines day. After multiple failed attempts at other restaurants due to reservations and long wait times, we found ourselves in a booth at Tonya's. I quickly realize that they were in the middle of cleaning up and customers were starting to leave. I tell the lady I had no idea they were in the middle of closing and offered to pay for my drinks and leave. She refused to let me go, told me to have a seat. As they're preparing my food I offer again to have them just put the food in a to go box and we'd take it home, again she refused to let me leave and said it wasn't no bother to them. I felt really bad at this point and would totally understand if the food came out half cooked. It didn't though, I'm a man who takes a lot of pride in the way I cook my own steak, but this ribeye my wife and I got tonight was cooked for a king. It was so good along with the potato, salad and desserts everything was made to perfection. I left a generous tip to all of the employees working late just for my family. They were satisfied with it but I don't feel it was enough. My hopes with this review to shed some light on this little hole in the wall restaurant and commend them on their service and food. Please go try them out.Thank you to all of the staff that stayed open an extra hour so my family and I could have a Valentines day dinner.“
