The food was awesome, but we had the best waitress. She said she's been there 10 years plus so maybe that'll help you know who she is. But she was amazing. Thank you for making dinner enjoyable.

I hadn’t been here since I was a kid so my memory might be a bit off…
There seems to be less food options but everything was good. The clam chowder was really good, my boyfriend had a steak that he really enjoyed, dessert options were lacking but the soft serve ice cream was really good.

Quick bite, Most everything was good, for a buffet place. I always like their salad bar!! Staff was very accommodating, especially since we came in just before closing!
Sirloin tips were fantastic!!
