Food is gross, cold, and way too expensive.

Victoria Barringer

This place is an absolute disgrace and should’ve been condemned yesterday. The food? Cold, rubbery, and tasted like it had been nuked in a microwave from 1992. Calling it a meal would be an insult to actual food. The sweet tea? A sad, watered-down mess that clearly gave up on life halfway through being poured. Let’s talk about the black mold—yes, black mold—on the ceilings and in the women’s restroom. That’s not just gross, it’s a full-blown health hazard. The entire building feels like it hasn’t seen a cleaning crew—or basic maintenance—since the early 2000s. The windows are caked in filth, and the air has that special “what died in here?” aroma. We were charged $140 for six people to sit in what felt like a biohazard zone and nibble on food so repulsive it should be illegal to serve. We left after 10 minutes because honestly, it felt like our immune systems were under attack just being there. My sister started having stomach pains within five minutes of leaving. I’m not saying the food caused it—but I’m also not not saying that. This place needs to be shut down, fumigated, and bulldozed. I will absolutely be calling the town, the health department, and anyone else who will listen. Do everyone a favor and close this dump before someone ends up in the hospital

Hello, this is my first and last visit. The service was very poor, and I was given the bill while eating. I don't believe this is a good place to come.We requested spoons, but they didn't provide any until I asked for the fifth time. I don't believe this is a good place to visit. 3 people spend $70 but not that much worth. Don’t waste your money.

My first impression about this place was not good. The first thing I noticed was the cracked window. The food looked good but looks can be deceiving. The food was warm, some of it didn't taste good and the soda was disgusting. The floor had soft spots. It was way overpriced. For 2 people it cost $54.61 for the buffet and drinks. The waitress gave us the bill and we were confused about the 8% AND 10%. We knew the 8% was tax. The 10% was gratuity. They shouldn't decide what you can leave as a tip. I'm going to stick to Red Apple Buffet in Cobleskill NY. Better food and less expensive.

DO NOT COME HERE! First of all, the service is so bad. Our table got checked on 1 time. The serves look like they’re miserable and don’t want to be there. The food was cold and SO OILY I can feel the heartburn just by looking at the food. There is mold everywhere, and it feels so humid inside. The cherry ontop of the cake is that I went to get dessert and there was a cockroach running all over the dessert cakes. The roach went through all of the cakes. I called a server and she picked up the cake with the bug and just walked away. She didn’t remove the whole tray or apologize. We told the manager and he said “okay, we will look into it. Cash or card?” They didn’t comp our meal when there’s literal roaches running all over the food. Will not come back here and will advise everyone not to go here. It’s a health hazard. Surprised this disgusting place isn’t closed already. I’ll be calling the health department on this place.

Food was good, place is a little outdated … take it for what it is. Good cheap Chinese buffet.

Not the cleanest place....flies...a dead fly in the ice cream. Food wasn't hot, alot of soft spots on the floor...they just covered up crappy, sagging floors with cheap flooring. WAY too expensive! If you want a good place to go...go to United Buffet. Cheaper and WAY better food, fresher food, better selection, cleaner. Thats where we wanted to go but it was closed on Mondays ?

I’ve been a regular at this place quite frequently; this is my FIRST review.
I have to be honest; the food, service & overall quality are really going DOWNHILL as of late. The manager, who is usually VERY nice to me, had to run the whole place ALONE one day recently, after 2 of her workers quit. I actually felt bad for her. Staff are VERY inattentive with drink refills & plate removal, but LIGHTNING FAST with the overpriced check of course! I do like the place, but if things don’t improve, I won’t be coming back .
