Service was terrible. Students at my school stopped here on our way back from D.C. and we were extremely disappointed. When going to a restaurant, you’re paying for not only the food but also the service. I don’t want to pay to get yelled at, not be allowed to sit with my friends, and get told that I can only eat if I be quiet. Not to mention, the food wasn’t very good either.
Buffet food was cold. Chicken was beyond dry. Told server who said he’d let the manager know but no manager came to speak with us. There were two cashiers working. The young lady glared at me and then ignored me. The young man who checked us out was the only pleasant thing about this place. HIGHLY do not recommend. Wish we’d read the review before stopping. $52 for two people for a horrible buffet. Would give zero stars if I could.
The breakfast buffet was extremely bland and wouldn’t recommend to anyone. I can’t imagine how anyone would actually enjoy the food. The only upside was the service.
