You can have it traditional or flavored. The salad bar has multiple salad options and fixings, plus hot foods. In terms of the meats, there are hits and misses. Our favorites by far were the brisket (you could pull it apart with your fork, it was so tender), and the pork ribs (amazingly seasoned). The lamb was great as well. Some of the steaks weren't seasoned well and/or tender. The servers were more than accommodating and pleasant.

The in-between: The service in general was not consistent. Our main server let drinks run dry and forgot to deliver more table shareables when we asked. The gauchos did bring new offerings often so the rotation was good. End of day for what you pay to eat here, the meats were just not worth that because they were often so overcooked or bland.

He encouraged all of our choices and offered us to try the delicious beverages (tamarind was my favorite!) Food was served quickly and with a smile. I was very satisfied even though I must admit I kept my choice pretty standard with the Little Missionary.

I've heard good things about Franklinville Inn for years and we decided to go for our anniversary…read more One of the better meals I've had in a long time. Ambience was great as it reminds you of a traditional steakhouse with an inviting bar and old decor with a lot of custom woodwork and fireplaces in each of the dining rooms. It is a large establishment but we didn't feel like it was super crowded as each room provided privacy with about 5-10 tables in each room. We had a wedge salad app which was outstanding. Then followed by a 12 oz NY strip and crabcake and my wife had the ribeye. Steaks were cooked perfectly. Their signature sauces for the steak and cake were a very good compliment. We had 4 sides: baked potato, Cole slaw, mushrooms which were in a brown sauce and creamed spinach. All great steakhouse staples and all delicious. Ended the meal with the apple pie and ice cream. Service was top notch and it's a bit pricey but for a steakhouse I believe it was in range with others and expectations. The only complaint I have was I thought my drink was a little pricey and a bit too small. But that didn't affect my rating. I'll definitely be back. One of the best restaurants in South Jersey

We finally tried the Borgata Buffet and honestly I do not understand some of the bad reviews…read more Yes it is a casino buffet so the price is higher at around 43 per person, but there are definitely ways to get it comped or discounted, and for the quality you are getting it actually feels worth it. The variety is great and everything we tried tasted fresh and well made. Nothing felt like it had been sitting too long and the staff was constantly maintaining the stations. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and very attentive without being overbearing. The staff working the buffet line were also all really nice and genuinely seemed happy to be there which makes such a difference. Food wise there were a lot of standouts. The chargrilled steak had a really nice flavor and the prime rib was super tender and juicy. The pastas were cooked perfectly and the sauces were light, bright, and flavorful instead of heavy. The mac and cheese is an absolute must. They use big shell noodles with a creamy cheese sauce and toasted breadcrumbs on top which gives it great texture. The collard greens were surprisingly one of our favorite things and we went back for seconds. So much flavor. The spiced shrimp is a hidden gem and definitely something we grabbed multiple times. The pizza was also surprisingly good. We tried the mushroom and spinach and it honestly tasted like something you would get from a really solid pizza spot not a buffet. The only thing I would say is the chicken parm is hit or miss depending on how fresh it is. If it has been sitting it can get a little soggy so I would try to grab it when a fresh tray comes out. Pro tip leave room for dessert. The dessert section is incredible. The gelato was rich and creamy especially the chocolate. The croissant cinnamon roll hybrid was flaky on the outside with a soft gooey center and the cookies and cream cheesecake was rich without being too heavy. I also really liked how the seating is set up. You can sit on either side of the buffet and choose between booths or tables which makes it feel a little less chaotic. This is definitely a spot we will keep coming back to when we are at Borgata.

Very Disappointing -- Borgata Has Really Gone Downhill…read more I visited the Borgata buffet over Labor Day weekend with my family of four, and the total was close to $200. Unfortunately, for that price, I honestly felt that we would have been better off going to a regular restaurant with better tasting food. I hadn't been to the Borgata buffet in a very long time. I remember when it was around $30-$35 per person, and I had much better memories of the food. That's why it was especially disappointing to see how much it seems to have declined. There were a few highlights. The gelato was very good, and I will say the dessert section seems to have improved. The salmon was probably the standout savory dish. The platanos, waffles, pork ribs, and meatballs were also good. The General Tso's chicken was decent as well. Unfortunately, those positives were outweighed by the negatives. There wasn't even much of a fruit selection anymore, which was surprising for a buffet at this price point. The sushi rice wasn't prepared properly all mushy and the shrimp cocktail didn't taste particularly fresh. The seasoned shrimp was also far too salty. The seafood section was particularly disappointing. The clams were so salty that they were essentially inedible, and whoever seasoned the mussels simply did not get the seasoning right. These are not particularly complicated dishes, so it was surprising to see them executed so poorly. The fried foods were also hit or miss. Some batches looked cooked on the outside, but the shrimp inside were still undercooked and appeared almost raw. Some of the vegetables, such as the zucchini, were noticeably undercooked as well. The steak was very tough, while the prime rib was extremely bland and lacked flavor. The Chinese section, aside from the General Tso's chicken, was particularly disappointing. The pasta dishes, including the macaroni and cheese over cooked and tasteless w alfredo being was oddly sweet was extremely underwhelming. And honestly, this is what surprised me most about the entire experience. It's not as though the buffet has an enormous number of dishes that would make it impossible to maintain quality. The selection is relatively limited, and many of the individual dishes are not particularly difficult to prepare. Yet so many of them were either poorly seasoned, undercooked, overcooked, bland, or simply not executed well. When you have a smaller selection of dishes, you would expect those dishes to be done really well. Instead, it felt like there were only a handful of things that were actually worth eating. That is what made the experience so surprising and disappointing. Overall, a large majority of the food was simply not good enough to justify going to a buffet. At nearly $200 for four people, I expected significantly better quality and consistency. What made this experience even more disappointing is that this was my parents' first time staying at the Borgata. Unfortunately, the food experience was poor enough that it actually made them less interested in wanting to stay at the hotel again. When you're spending money on a casino resort, the dining experience is part of the overall experience--and a bad meal can definitely affect whether you want to return. Borgata used to be one of my favorite places to go in Atlantic City, so I really wanted to like it. But after this visit, I'm not sure I would choose it over newer properties like Hard Rock or Ocean Casino Resort. Those properties may be newer, but at this point, I think I'd rather spend my money there than return to this buffet. Overall: very disappointing, especially considering the price and what I remember Borgata being like in the past.

I had to try the crab guacamole, even though it's just crabmeat on guac. Good stuff. All mine because hubby doesn't eat avocados, too bad! The surprise was the plantain chips that came with this dish, they were huge, and such crunchy deliciousness! We also got the dragon street meatballs, which he got to enjoy by himself (because they are beef and pork meatballs and I can't consume pork). This was a big portion for $8.

Crab Bag has a reputation for fat, quality crabs, and I decided it was time to find out for myself…read more Ambiance: 5/5 It's on Coastal Highway in Northern Ocean City, so don't come expecting a waterfront view. But I wasn't here for the view -- I was here for picking crabs. The setup here is genuinely impressive. You've got an outdoor patio section, another outdoor area with a fireplace and TVs, and a nice air conditioned indoor section. Plenty of variety depending on what you're in the mood for. The whole place is clean and well maintained. Five out of five, they did a great job here. Service: 2/5 I'll be honest, below average but everyone was very nice and friendly. They were fast at getting us crabs, but getting drink refills and more butter...kind of a pain. Our crab bucket sat full of empty shells way longer than it should have. Food: 5/5 Let me be clear. I came here exclusively for crabs. That day, medium larges were $90 a dozen and larges were $110 -- about what to expect in OCMD. With a group of three experienced crab pickers, we went with the all you can eat at $49 a person. And wow. WOW. Fat, juicy, steamed fresh crabs that were incredibly sweet and cooked to perfection. I was genuinely blown away by the quality and size for all you can eat. The size, the freshness, the value. You don't find this combination often in Ocean City. I went absolutely crazy. Seasoning was a touch light out of the gate, but they had no issues bringing more, and they were very generous with the butter. Also got the corn with the all you can eat and it was great. You can't go wrong with that. One more thing. Even if you don't eat crabs, their menu is impressive. Great selection for the whole group and kids. Overall: 5/5 Crab Bag is one of the best all you can eat crab deals in Ocean City, and it's not particularly close. The service isn't going to blow you away, but the crabs absolutely will. Great atmosphere, great variety of seating, and crabs that back up the reputation. I'll be back.

Rodízio is a particular style of experience you can find at a churrascaria (Brazilian steakhouse)…read more You're presented with meat options fresh off the grill. Service was extremely friendly and eager. The space is unpretentious, clean, and painted a deep orange that is leftover from the former restaurant that occupied this space. A large selection of fresh juices, and I was happy to see they had canned Guaraná - a Brazilian soda I fell in love with at another restaurant. The explanation of dining options felt a little clunky. You could opt for the buffet, the buffet + rodízio (tableside meat carving), or an entree which included choices for some delicious sides. Three of our party did multiple trips to the buffet, and I got the steak and onions entree plus pao de queijo. Those were incredible, hot from the oven, and the flavorful steak was cooked to my liking. Everyone enjoyed the buffet, and the highlight was the Feijoada - a traditional black bean stew. The stewed beef from the buffet was very tender, exceptionally good and flavorful. The fried bananas, and the marinated chicken and peppers were both tasty. Didn't care for the okra but not a big fan of okra to begin with. The coconut rice pudding was a standout but it was the only dessert we tried, so we'll just have to compare it to others next time!
