    S29. Mixed Vegetables w. Tofu with white sauce
    Mark S.

    I ran 25 miles to get here. I ordered tofu with mixed vegetables and white sauce, hot tea and two waters. Then I ran home faster. The food came out quickly, the vegetables were fresh and the flavors were spot-on. Oh, and the hot tea was Oolong-- take that Lipton! Overall, a positive experience.

    The only Chinese food available in Martinsville It's clean and tasty. The buffet is always well stocked. It's very affordable. We loved the stuffed mushrooms and the sweet and sour and egg drop soups. The rice and chicken and broccoli were good! Temperature of the food was adequate. You can drive 20 miles to find better Chinese grub of course but grab lunch here and support a local restaurant.

    I'm rather surprised to be giving a 4 to a smorgasbord, but I am. They deserve it…read more We were heading home from a long weekend on the road, and wanted something more than fast food, so decided to give this a try. It's obvious this is a local hangout. I was surprised how many of the wait staff knew the customers by name! Still, we received prompt, friendly service, even though it was evident we didn't know our way around. Everything I tried was great! One thing that impressed me was that they were constantly turning the food on the buffet tables. I'm not a fan of buffets as sometimes the food seems a bit old, but that wasn't the case here. Everything was fresh, hot and tasty. The price was quite reasonable for the amount of food (all you care to eat). This goes on our list of places to stop in town!

    Chambers has been an occasional must for me for years. I eat fairly healthy at home. I don't know…read morehow to fry foods. I press napkins into pizza to absorb as much fat as possible because I think it's gross. However....my mom was an excellent home cook - healthy, well-rounded meals that included some fried, some bacon fat, pies & cobblers & shortcakes. Chambers is all of that. It fills not just my stomach but my soul. Good old home cooking -- fried chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy, green beans with bacon fat, homemade bread, pan desserts. All I can eat. The place is clean. The staff is friendly & keeps the glasses filled. I don't feel rushed like I'm a mere commodity like so many Indy restaurants. My only request is that they rent cots in the parking lot for food-coma recovery. But it's worth it to me.

    I haven't been to GC in years. The last time we went was at the time they re-opened. It was a zoo…read moreat that time. The people were so messy and the place was a dirty disaster. For that reason, I haven't been back. We decided to give it a try for lunch the other day and, boy, was it good! It was packed with seniors because they get the lunch buffet and drink for $11 from 1:00-3:00. They had a wide variety of food and, unlike my last experience, the place was clean and tidy. All the dishes were constantly being refilled and it didn't look like the food had been sitting there all day. I can't eat very much so it would be nice to have the salad bar only option like some places have, but I did try a couple bites of some of the side items. They were all good. My mother also enjoyed her salad and got meatloaf, pot roast, and mashed potatoes. It was all good. We split a plate of a variety of desserts. They were surprisingly good for a buffet. Usually desserts are not the star of the show at buffets. Good job keeping the place nice now! Keep up the good work and maybe take into consideration the salad bar only for folks with tiny tummies who can't eat more than one plate of food.

    This buffet is seriously lacking, but from what I understand, there aren't a lot of dining options…read morein the area. I would've liked to get a salad, but they only had iceberg lettuce and due to it's lack of nutritional value I thought that to be a waste of space in my stomach. The only other veggie options I saw were overcooked green beans (limp and watery) and broccoli chicken or pepper chicken. All veggies come sauced and with chicken, apparently! What I did get onto my plate was hit or miss. The trend seemed to be that the Asian options were the best. The general tso's, sweet n' sour and teriyaki chicken were good. The teriyaki had a few dry pieces, but I think they just weren't that fresh. The same with the fried shrimp. It was really hard and tasted old. The egg roll was mushy and disappointing, though. The macaroni and cheese was disgusting. The mashed potatoes and gravy tasted instant, but I have a soft spot for instant potatoes! A little salt and pepper and they were just fine. I had two helpings. I managed to find some plain ole steamed cauliflower that I paired with the clarified butter meant for the crab legs that were on special for Father's Day. The staff were nice and kept our plates cleared, but a refill of my soda was hard to come by. They do offer a 10% discount for seniors over the age of 60, which is nice. We finished off the meal with ice cream, served in individual cups. They also offered chocolate chip and mint chocolate chip that you scoop yourself... definitely not the most sanitary.

    They have a large variety of food that part I give them but they hospitality is lacking. I said…read morethank you to the people for or five times.
