“We have been eating at this same location for many years with our kids and grandkids. We were very happy when it opened up again under a new name after the "pandemic" caused the Old Country Buffet to go out of business.Of course, like everything else in this area the price went up. When we first went here after it opened up, we were happy with the selection and quality of the food, and the friendliness of the employees.On our visit today, the food was still pretty good although some of it tasted like it had been stored for quite a while and was dried out. The salad bar had fresh vegetables... Before we got home my stomach started gurgling and I started having very bad gas. We were going to make a couple of stops, but decided against it.I have been laying around since we got home to try and get my stomach settled.The drinks are now behind a tall wooden fence that goes all the way around the dispensers with gates that say, "employees only". Most fast-food places have drink dispensers where you can fill up your own drink. When an employee brings you a drink it is in a very small cup... maybe 10 ounces? The whole situation is very cheesy.The price charged was more than what it says on the website and then in addition to the 10% sales tax... there is an additional 5% "living wage charge". I believe this is not a "tax", but a surcharge to help cover the $17.25 that employers with less than 500 employees must now pay to unskilled workers. In addition, they try to get you to charge an 15% or 20% tip on your credit card. This is kind of typical these days... but not exactly appropriate for this type of establishment. We left some money on the table which has been are practice for the last 30 or 40 years at this location.I had a partially completed punch card that gave a free meal after 5 were purchased. When I handed it to the cashier to get it punched, he replaced it with one that gives a free meal after 10 meals purchased.I have to admit to being a little grumpy because of my stomach pain... The place was mostly empty... and I no longer have a warm and fuzzy feeling about going back. After all these years of going here... we plan on going to a nearby casino that charges a little bit more but provides better service, food, and atmosphere. I do not see how they are going to stay in business.“
“We went late afternoon on a Thursday which was ideal as there was no wait and the buffet was our oasis! It's usually packed on the weekends, but you still get a seat rather quickly. The outside area is not a good indicator of the niceness on the inside, so keep an open mind when attempting to go there. Inside you'll find an incredibly spacious dining area and a buffet with all the classic Oriental main attractions of Kung Pao chicken, Teriyaki Chicken, stir-fried rice, noodles, soups, sushi, the full-on self-create grill, and a full-on dessert bar, saldad bar, assortment of steamsed buns, as well as drinks and hot beverages. There's something for everyone and the service is amazing. Glad I tried it twice over!“
