    First of all, I am very surprised and disappointed by the negative reviews that I have seen here. I…read morehave eaten here once or twice a month for 30 or so years. Did anyone else notice that most of the malicious reviews appear to be from some "ficticious" school teacher/chaperone, many of them from California? The buffet here has always been very good; the vegetables tasty and firm, the meats very good and the desserts have always been excellent. The desserts include; pies, jello, puddings, cobblers, cookies, brownies, cheesecakes and iced cakes. I have never seen such a huge variety of desserts (almost always about two dozen varieties) at a buffet before. I have never seen dirty plates or silverware either. I have never become ill from the food and the place has always been clean. The salad bar has always been fresh and tasty, with a huge variety of toppings and dressings.. If the food was so bad and making people sick, the parking lot wouldn't be packed every single time that I have been here in 3 decades. I think a lot of the bad reviews show serious and vicious anti conservative/anti christian bias that liberal "Karens and Kevins" embrace. Some of the negative comments about the appearance of employees are just vicious. I have never had a bad or poor meal here. I have never become ill from eating the food. It has never been dirty there in any way. The malicious, deceptive and vindictive reviews reveal a deep seated psychological disconnect with reality and cognitive dissonance in some of the reviewer's minds. This is a clean, safe place to eat, the food is always very good, the prices are reasonable and the staff has always been pleasant and responsive for the past 30 years that I have been there.

    This place is insane- insanely bad! Haha. I hate it so much. Chicken is super good, macoroni is…read morekinda mid. Service is good. Ambiance is fine. I hate this place bc it is terrible. Do not come here. Also encountered a situation in which a older chubby woman was screaming at a worker about some sort of shrimp beverage. I believe it was shrimp flavored heavy whipping cream. The woman was pretty freakin pissed and it was extremely concerning in the view of her mental health. Sending my best wishes to Bonnie, she may never recover from this incident. Anyways, you can come here if you want just don't come if they are selling shrimp cream. That is an accident waiting to happen. Lemonade is good. Please call 630-544-1562 if you have concerns, I'm willing to give out more info if needed

    Marriage is a give and take. So are trips to an AYCE buffet. I can never eat my $$$ worth but my…read morehusband and sons can. So I've reconciled that part in my head. This was our first time here and we picked the premium. We went about 4 pm so it was not crowded. If you want quantity and to try new things like a hot pot station, boba station, ramen station you can find it here. There was a lot of sushi and sashimi( of course it won't be grade A ...it's a buffet) but you'll survive. LOBSTER: They bring out a limited amount of lobster every 15 mins and if you don't time it right, you won't get any. Hubster and son preferred the crab. They don't give you any utensils to break the shells so if you aren't a skilled lobster or crabestesian you may want to focus on things you can control. Otherwise it'll slow you down if achieving the getting more than your money's worth is your goal. They do have a kiddie station if your kids haven't gotten past that picky level; in other words, they'll survive! Some unusual items like chicken feet or frog legs, and abalone are something that gives you that foodie opportunity that allows you to say you've tried it.

    I've been wanting to try this place but everyone I drive by I see all of the people waiting outside…read moreand said next time. I've been here couple times and always leave full and satisfied and make sure to get there at or around 5pm. Main reason I come here is to eat crab legs. They are cold, but also in the back they do have a seafood boil where it has snow crab legs warm. But this place offers hot pot and saw so many people heat their crab legs inside the hot pot. It's genius. It has so many good food varieties that it's hard not find something you will enjoy. Hot pot food selection is not bad at all. Always get this too when are here. But always curious, aren't these small hot pot containers a hazard? What happens if someone accidentally knocks it over? Loved their vast dessert selection and as many milk tea type Drinks you can have. How do places like this make money? Hope it stays here for a long time! I'll be back for sure.

    The food was glorious!!! What a selection. I had the fried plate and my wife had steamed seafood…read moreplate. We couldn't finish it all. Our party had everything from steak to oysters to crab cakes and everyone was happy. Our waitress was exemplary! Great sense of humor and care for us, a party of eight. She took a picture for us that has us laughing a few weeks later. We will be back next time we're in Hagerstown

    Visited Shula's for the first time. It is a very nice restaurant specializing in fresh seafood…read more It's a nice place for a date night, birthday or anniversary. Service was excellent. Food came out at just the right pace between courses. Ambience was only "ok"... I did notice that things looked a bit worn. And one thing that bothered me was that there were ceiling tiles that were badly water stained and sagging... nothing active, but it was very unsightly. Given that they are very easy to replace, leaving them there just made the place feel less "special evening" ambience to more like "a diner" which is a shame for a place i expected to be more classy. As for the food we had lots of positives to say. We tried the crab bisque appetizer which was thick and creamy with just the right amount of seasoning and crab meat. The portion for a first course was generous. We also got the steamed mussels in a white wine and garlic sauce. The mussels were cooked perfectly. They were plump, tender and flavorful the sauce was delicious. Be sure to ask for extra bread to soak up some of the broth and juices. The side salads were likewise generous portions, fresh and crisp. Very happy! The main courses come with just one side. I got the fried seafood platter with hushpuppies and my wife got the stuffed flounder with onion rings. The fried platter came with flounder, shrimp and oysters, with tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. All were coated in a lightly seasoned breading that was crisp. Not overly thick. The hushpuppies, which other reviewers said were outstanding, I found to be on the sweet side. Crisp, yes, but overall just ok...I prefer mine more savory than sweet. The stuffed flounder was also very well done. Delicious. The flounder was cooked just right. Flaky and moist. The onion rings were thick cut, beer batter dipped. They were hot and crisp and the portion like everything else here was generous. In the end we did need a box to bring some of our entrees home. We left very satisfied. So I was pretty satisfied with the food and the service. Now if they could just do something to get the dining room as upscale as the food and service this would be an outstanding dining experience... thus only four stars instead of five.
