Back in the 90's the food here was really good BUT NOW do not waist your money. I sat down for lunch with my family March 2025 first the front entrance was taped off with orange cones we had to squeeze by to get in the steps and ground was torn up, next the bathroom window sits over top both the bathroom stalls, the window was wide open with no window screen just wide open ibathroom was freezing... next we ordered club sandwiches and quickly realized this was going to be a bad decision. We were served a hoggie on rolls sliced down the middle with a tooth pick stuck on top the roll. When I told the waitress that the pics of a club sandwich didn't resemble this, the pic showed a stacked club sandwich the waitress replied "that's the way they serving the sandwich today" she didnt even bother to ask the cook she went back and sat down lmao my mother sent it back she bought the sandwich out this time on two soggy slices of bread, flat as a pancake...horrible...I thought we were being pranked lol

I was judged from the moment I entered the place! I wasn't offered a menu or even asked if I was dining in or not. The first thing I asked was rudely and sharply answered "We don't have that!". When I expressed how the service was making me feel, I was told that I could leave! It was a bad experience. I will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone!
We drive up from the Jersey Shore for the delicious buffet. The selection of food, quality and taste is worth the drive. We love this place, the staff is always nice, the ease of getting a table and little to no lines at the buffet. We would definitely recommend enjoying a good meal here.

I came here with my 2 kids (ages 3 and 8) and ordered 2 of the kids breakfasts. Food was really good, the atmosphere was a classic diner vibe, and there is a surprising amount of space inside. Our server was very kind and attentive. The soul food buffet was being set up while we were there and it looked and smelled AMAZING. The kids are already asking when we'll be back!

Service was not good. Workers at checkout were unfriendly. I was billed for two other people meals who came with me without my permission. I was told the payment could not be reversed,
Service is very lousy the people who work there are always talking and not paying attention to their customers
