We went to the lunch buffet and it was wonderful. Everything was delicious, the atmosphere was comfy and the service friendly. Reasonably priced. What a treat!

Will definitely return!

Everything I have ever ordered has been delicious. The portions are big enough to have leftovers (if you can stop eating it, it’s so good). The margaritas are very good and refreshing (especially the e one made with fresh lime and not a mix). And the service/atmosphere is so fun that you just want to stay for hours (and maybe have a pitcher of margs).
