The ladies and cooks were so friendly and amazing.

The breakfast buffet is worth every single penny!!! The fact you get so many options and its all you can eat is crazy. This place is so slept on I cant believe this place isn't packed solid with how good the food was. I may or may not have raided the dessert table 3 times.

Our waitress was awesome and friendly I found the restaurant very dated and the food was just ok.. it almost felt like it was pre-plated before and taken out of the fridge and heated up, I hear the breakfast is good so I’ll give that a try one day but definitely not for dinner again

Went for breakfast and food was as expected. Nothing flashy nothing crazy just nice simple breakfast at very reasonable prices. Personally I prefer the atmosphere of an older privately owned restaurant to the unoriginal clones offered by corporations. Service was good.

I ate here fairly often, but that will end now.
I reserved a particular table for the breakfast buffet. When my wife and I got there, the table was in use. I was told the poeple at the table were regulars and had been there since 8 pm (my reservation was for 10am and it was 10:01am). This was an obvious lie since they were still eating and nowhere near done. People don't eat for 2 hours.
My wife overheard a discussion amongst some staff about the situation before a manager (I presume) came to apologize and said the people at our reserved tabe were regulars and they expected them to be gone by then. That's much more believable, and understandable, and she sounded sincere. But the worker with red-dyed hair and glasses kept giving my wife dirty looks, which didn't create a pleasant atmosphere.
The worst part was that 30 minutes after we were seated, our waitress, who was not friendly as usual (she's served us many times), came and asked how I'd be paying. I never asked for the check, and still had food on my plate! I said that I'd pay with debit when we are ready to go. She left and came back with the debt machine within seconds. I thought, "Okay, I can pay now, but I don't have to leave right away because it's an all-you-can-eat buffet." I'd only gone up twice, so it wasn't over-eating. But as I was paying, she picked up my plate AND MY FORK. The plate, okay, because you have to get a clean plate when you go back to the buffet, but the fork you re-use. That was as clear as it gets the we were being ushered out.
There's two side to every story, but I can assure you, we were not rude, and did not make a scene, although most people would have been much more upset than we were. We were annoyed, and let that be known be the greeter, and that was all.
That treatment was completely uncalled for and inexcusable.

The food was good. The price is good. The atmosphere would have been good were it not for the treatment we received. And clearly, the service was the worst I've ever experienced. Beside getting ushered out, we were also ignored and had to request a coffee refill, because she wasn't offering.

First time here and will never return...waitress was not very friendly, food was not good, got some lovely coffee grinds in the bottom of our cups and no apologies for it and everything took a half hour coming out...everything was cold by the time we got it...so not impressed

I have been dining at the Sherwood for many years as it is a favorite of my parents. Our most recent experience was Thanksgiving when we had a fabulous turkey dinner with all the fixings for a great price. Food and value are consistently great, which explains why it is such a busy place.

I very much appreciate how the servers are always looking out for my parents when they dine there. ♥️

I preordered Thanksgiving dinner, and they did not disappoint. A family of 4 which came with plenty of leftovers was priced fairly at $95. Placing the order over the phone was a breeze as the lady who took my order was able to communicate smoothly and efficiently. Upon pick up, I was greeted with a smile and the lady even knew who I was and what I was picking up. She was very pleasant and made an effort to strike up a conversation which tells me that the environment is very welcoming and homely. I can’t wait to go back for some more good homemade eats!
