I'm not disappointed ever, I did change up today I chose to get the cheese ravioli with alfredo sauce and sauteed shrimp. It was absolutely amazing. I'm not saying that I am one that could sponsor Olive garden that is how much I love them and eat them and will change them every time how much love and support and thank you so much for being so authentic and amazing every time!!!“

“$10!!! $10!!! $10!!! For the lunch buffet, not including drink (their unsweetened tea is so good). When you walk in, the atmosphere is nothing to brag about... its just three little tables and the buffet space. Off to one side is a doorway that leads to another room full of tables and chairs. They have plenty of space. Decent, older (60's/70's) music was playing in the background. The bathrooms are clean and smell ok. The restaurant is clean overall, but could seriously use an update.
The service was good. Two ladies were running the place and they kept my tea glass full. If you order a soft drink, it comes in a can and they are off-brand. When you're finished with one plate, they remove it quickly so the table stays clear. They were really on point and very friendly.
The food. Well. We came late to the party and that's apparently not the thing to do. They open at 11 (close at 3). We got there at 1:45 and a lot of things had been picked over and were already drying out. The two pizza choices (pepperoni and cheese) were so dried out that I would not even try them. The salad bar still looked fresh and the lasagne was out of this world. The spaghetti and meat sauce was delicious. Their meatballs, while small and a little squishy (definitely not homemade) were also pretty tasty. There was a chicken dish that I dove to the bottom to find a piece still covered in sauce and that was decent. They had another meat dish that I tried to find a piece that wasn't dried out and couldn't so I didn't get it. They also have mixed veggies on the hot bar that were not over cooked. Again, the salad bar, while not very expansive, was fresh and very good. There was also a minestrone soup which we did not try.
For the $10, go early! We're definitely going back! They also have a dinner menu, but I'm not sure they're operating that at the moment. Would definitely recommend this spot if you can eat earlier or at least by noonish.“

“The best pizza!!!!!! Only place we will order pizza from!!“

“Best wings!! Sweet family owned. Known for excellent food.“

“The food was served hot, at an average time and very tasty. A good selection of Italian food. Type of service is you order, pay at counter and they bring it to you. Self service on drinks and other items.
Overall a decent and reasonable priced place to eat.“
