    I was in town last weekend and wanted somewhere to eat lunch. I was cruising around and saw this as an option. It was Sunday at 3ish. Man it was PACKED! I think i got one of the only open tables. I took this as a good sign and proceeded to be seated. The food was GREAT! I mean, it's been awhile since I have been to an all you can eat buffet but this was an overall great experience. My drink came to my table quickly and my plates were cleared almost instantly. 5/5 in my opinion! I would totally come back with a group of friends! Thank you guys so much!

    Food is okay but the customer service is HORRIBLE. Especially the girl seating people. Will not come back because of that

    I went on a Sunday around 11/noon, I thought I beat the church crowd or got in after they left, but…read morethe place was PACKED. There was only about a ten minute wait though. When I left around 1:55pm, the line was out into the parking lot. $30 adult, $2 fountain drink, $36.45 with tax. I was greeted and sat at my table and my drink was brought out quickly. The tables, silverware, and plates were clean. There is hand sanitizer at the entrance. Next time I'll bring gloves though. It's busy, but not too disorganized, it seems people were going the opposite direction of most buffets, so at times, I couldn't tell if I was cutting in line or not. Everytime I went to get more food, my previous plate was removed and any spills cleaned. Even though there are a ton of people eating and walking around, it's surprisingly not that loud. The food: Grilled Brisket - not tender tastes like a chuck roast (pot roast) Cajun mussels- sweet and spicy Stuffed mushroom-breadcrumbs, flavorful, juicy, sweet earthy Butterflied fried shrimp- crispy and cooked well Hofun - flat noodles, semisweet, al dente, has onions Baby bok choy- tender and crisp, bright and lightly seasoned Pot Roast- savory, semisweet, tender. Better than the brisket (blasphemy) BBQ pork rib- sweet bbq sauce/glaze, kinda dry, but decent Green beans- steamed and sauteed, lightly salted and garlic, cooked well Salmon nigiri- delicate flavor with great rice Shrimp nigiri- clean flavor, mildly sweet shrimp Cheese mussels- sweet, cheesy, tender, plump Tuna Sashimi- firm, tender, not fishy, slightly oceany, clean flavor Grilled steak- nice char, but well done, so chewy and tough Sausage- bright and savory flavor. Kinda tastes like a breakfast sausage. Skin has a good snap to it Pot sticker- ground chicken? golden crust with perfect amount of filling, tender and crisp veggies Grilled calamari- firm and tender, nice char

Our waitress was very attentive, and the food came out quickly. Nothing was phenomenal, but everything was fine and cooked properly. The gentleman bringing our food was rushing too much, and when he reached a plate out towards me to hand it off, the sweet chili style sauce slid off and dumped down my blouse, into my shirt, all over my Apple Watch, and down my side onto my pants and the bench seat. Unfortunately, the busboy just stood there saying nothing. I asked for napkins and he quickly brought them, and never apologized. The waitress came back by and mentioned she heard we had an accident and she was sorry about that. We were not comped in any way. That would have been a of show excellent customer service, but instead I was just left with a ruined blouse and sticky and stinky for half of my meal. Overall, a decent experience and decent food, but I hope the bus boy moved a little more carefully from now on! And my goodness, an apology from him would have been great. Happy Mother's Day lol

    I'm NOTTTTTTT at all a fan of buffets. Buffets scream lower quality tasting food, usually poorer…read moreservice, and usually overworked employees. I have never been to Golden Corral and it was selected by my boyfriend who loves GC for quantity reasons. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Sherrie was our server. Sherrie walks around with a huge friendly smile, is quick to offer extra likes cinnamon flavoring for coffee, check if we needed anything we couldn't locate, and pick up and bus all the tables. We felt beyond welcomed and it was a homey feeling, like we were at a friend's house! I am a huge fan of menudo. I decided to try the menudo was actually shocked. Don't get me wrong it isn't completely like an abuelita was in the kitchen making it, however it was edible. It had a clean smell and not a barnyard smell. This is an accomplishment that surpasses most "authentic" Mexican restaurant, and I experienced it at a buffet. The only thing missing for me was tortillas and fresh cilantro and onion.. Butttt we don't complain over here .. so I'd rather not have cilantro and onion over tasting cow ass.. I walked over to check out desserts and happened to catch Alicia F doing temperature checks. This alone would have sent me over the roof happy. Food quality and cleanliness coupled with customer service bring me back to places that have mediocre food time and time again! Will I return: QUITE POSSIBLY... I walked in noticing the support of sending military kids to camp!! This is big for me having so many friends and family who have served our country and the state of affairs during this time. This isn't a political post, this is only to mention supporting children of those who support our country with their lives!

They fit the bill but it was extremely crowded, a lot of the food was precooked, packaged and fried as needed. It was hard to get to the drink station because of the number of kids. I had mashed potatoes and gravy, pot roast, Mac and cheese, and baked beans. All were delicious. The variety of food made it hard to pick, I knew I would be full. I did have room for a half and half ice cream cone. I probably won't go back just because of the crowd and no option to only buy a one trip salad bar. The ad on the website, said they over a menu offer for single plate offerings, but that is not true, it's $27.00 + drink

    Wow, I've never felt more overwhelmed at a buffet before, but the hungry rush of a Mother's Day…read morecustomers made it feel a little crazy in here. All that said, I'll be back! We sat in the enclosed patio and it was a little warm, but away from the noisy dining room. This buffet is loaded with a large sushi bar, dumpling section, multiple rice sections, classic chinese take out options like orange chicken, beef and broccoli, sweet n sour pork, an course chow mein. Not to mention a build your teppanyaki area! Everything here is made fresh, including the sushi, which was one of my favorite items. There's literally four sushi chefs making it constantly so as soon as the plates are empty, they can be refilled. That's basically the same strategy for all of the stations here. As soon as anything started to run out, the staff was refiling it. My kids loved it with my son trying his first raw oyster... he's not a fan, LOL. I suggest coming for lunch, you'll be saving about $10 and get primarily the same meal.

    It's been a long time since I'd been here, and they've added a hot pot option, so we decided to…read moregive it a go. Arrived at noon on a Saturday and it was not terribly busy. We got a hot pot with two different broths and proceded to order some meats and pick out some veggies from the buffet area. The server was delightful. Overall, the hot pot was good. When we moved onto the other regular buffet dishes, things took a downward turn. I couldn't find anything that was good, other than the sushi. Every hot dish we tried was disappointing. With other hot pot options in the area, I don't know if we'd return.

My favorite meat was the Parmesan pork loin, the beef ribs (which just melted I. Your mouth) and the sirloin. My husband's loved the steaks and love how they were all seasoned. This place isn't for serious conversation because you get constantly interrupted with meat options or management making sure you are enjoying your meal. The interruptions are not a complaint I promise! Our server Renee was knowledgeable and had great recommendations! I definitely would be asking for her when we go back. I also had Orange Dreamcicle cocktail that tasted like a 50/50 bar and no it wasn't too sweet nor too strong it was just right.

I went during peak hours on a busy day, and seeing the place packed actually made me feel a bit more secure. I figured with that many customers, the kitchen and salad bar would naturally stay fresher since the food is constantly being cycled out. While I still think any establishment should keep things up to par regardless of how slow it is, the difference in freshness this time was really noticeable compared to my first visit when it was dead. The service was great, which is a big win for me because even in my last review, I mentioned the service was the one thing they got right. I'm really glad to see that's still super consistent here. As for the food, they had a lot of "trendy" meats that I've been hearing about. I think it's a cut that's been all over TikTok the Picanha cut? I might be wrong on the name, but I'd heard people talking about it and it was super good and very tender. The biggest improvement, though, was the consistency. I prefer my beef medium-rare, and last time I was here, almost everything they brought out was well-done. This time, every piece that made its way to my table was cooked exactly how I like it. I'm glad I was actually able to enjoy the meal this time!
