We met family on Sunday 2/9/26 at 5:45pm and Ray was our server- we had never ate here but wanted…read moreto try it especially with some of the great reviews! I should have known when we sat down and Ray asked us what we wanted to drink, we told her and also asked for an order of Calamari while we waited for our family members- the look she gave us for ordering Calamari was a nasty one. But you know everyone of us can have a moment of RBF or a rough day, so let's move forward She comes and takes our family members drink orders when they arrive a few minutes later, but she wasn't happy about it and it shows.... Then we face our orders, tell her how we wanted the bill split (one side of the table on one bill the other side on the other bill) food comes out the clam chowder tasted good but looked like cake batter, the fish dip was 95% cream cheese, the Calamari tasted good but smelled odd. The best thing on my plate that I order (the shrimp platter broiled) was the corn on the cob! We searched for Ray for refills on our drinks but she only brought the table of 6 people - 2 people got refills Then she brought us the 2 bills - wait what in the world? She explained that she had cleaning in the back - wait what? I asked so do you all offer dessert? Oh yeah, we have 2 which one do you want? Well I didn't see a menu with them so what do you all have, we ordered the keylime pie - which tasted off like a medicine after taste We asked if she could clear the dishes please so we could have exchange Christmas gifts since our family had not been able to get together for the holidays- she literally cleared the middle of the tables plates and we had to pile the rest at the ends of the table So if Ray is your server I say Good Luck Maybe the food is better but we paid $110 for 3 people and I don't feel like we had a good experience with the food or service. Here's my opinion if you're having a rough night or you don't wanna be a server then don't wait on tables but if you're gonna wait on tables and you're going to service clients that are nice that are friendly that are laughing then please for the love of everything give them something in return give them a refill. We're not asking for anything for free. We're just literally asking for you to tend to the table that is in your custody. I did leave her a tip, but I do have to say it was really bad circus and I really hope that in the future, she will get better service to other patrons of the restaurant.

The store clerk was kind and very pleasant to the customers. Everything looked fresh and the miscellaneous items were stacked nicely as well. There was a lady outside in the parking lot asking patrons for money who eventual came inside and asked the store clerk if she could use the restroom; the store clerk was polite and said yes. I overheard this exchange but I felt it was worth mentioning and three stars at the very least. When I asked if they used butter or margarine on their fantastic looking crab trays and the clerk said margarine. I appreciated her honesty but everyone knows how extremely unhealthy margarine is; margarine is not five star quality. The overall experience and interaction was five stars but the margarine is a negative one for sure and needs to be reconsidered.

It's a typical little neighborhood Cafe with a breakfast buffet and menu ordering. I had the two-egg breakfast with bacon, toast with tater tots (out of hash browns). I requested eggs to be cooked over medium and they were absolutely perfect!!! I was thrilled because this is not a typically happens when I order this type of egg. That tater tots Tasted like they were cooked in fresh oil and the bacon was amazing. A friend ordered the same except with home fries and a hot cake. She was a little bummed at the home fries as they were just sliced & just not what she expected. Her eggs and bacon were also amazing and her hot cake was wonderful. Coffee was nice and strong with good flavor. I visited the restroom and although the building is obviously old it was very clean. Crystal was our server and she was warm and engaging. 10/10. I will definitely visit again when I'm in the area!!

There was so so so much more than what I even listed here, plus the absolute best waitress and Arnold Palmer maker! Why cook at home, burden yourself, spend HOURS cleaning up afterwards and hours more packing everything away? Take yourself and your loved ones out to Ole Times Country Buffet just one time for the holidays and you'll never go back to cooking again! (I sure haven't)

The tuna felt room temperature and was pretty bad in taste. The Happy Family was not so happy. It was overcooked and had thick brown gravy. It was totally disgusting. During our meal, one waitress was mocking her $10 per hour wage while walking around with a feather duster on a pole, dusting the ceiling cameras and the HVAC vents. The dust was flying everywhere. What really was gross was when she walked over to the sushi bar with the feather duster over food, which was on a tray under her. Unfortunately, there was a man sitting at the counter 4 feet away from her. I could see the dirt landing on his food. Within 5 minutes, I left. Low standards if this is your restaurant.

I've tried a few dishes, and my favorites have been the shrimp tempura roll (#1 favorite), the crunchy LA roll, dynamite roll, the tuna avocado roll, the tom kha gai soup, the avocado roll, and the avocado salad. Hospitality was great. I was a solo diner a few times I dined in, and the severs weren't weird because I was alone. I've also dined in with a friend. They were attentive and friendly on both occasions. Takeout service is good as well. I usually call in my order and it's ready when I arrive. Prices are reasonable on the maki rolls and the few Thai dishes that I've tried. Btw, they have Japanese, Thai, and Chinese entrées to choose from. So I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the mood for any of the above, though I've only tried a few of the Thai and Japanese menu items.
