Seafood buffet at 5pm. We went for the crab legs and it's a good thing because the other dishes were not very good...at all! The crab legs kept coming out hot and fresh. They were salted nicely and cracked easily. The cold, boiled shrimp and cocktail sauce was also delicious. The battered foods were bland and like leather. Other foods were soggy and nasty. We felt we ate our money's worth with the legs and for that we will be back.
UPDATE Thursday 4pm seafood...

The food was very, very good, but could've been hotter. Not a lot of selection at 1pm on a Friday. $38 for 2, plus tip seems high. Desserts were delicious! Smoke-free since 2020, but still smells of smoke.

They have such a great variety of different foods, but the crab legs by far are the best!! This buffet is a must if you love seafood (especially crab legs)!! Dominic, our waiter was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, so kind and efficient!!
