Look, I rate local dive bars with 5s because we need them. Ryan's Roadhouse is bigger than a dive…read morebar, but equally needed in its way. Ryan's is where you go when your crowd is too big for the your hole-in-the-wall hometown dive bar or when you're feeling fancy. It is a large space with bar and table seating. Depending on where you enter, you might have to go around the bar to find the host, just keep going. You'll find the seating. If you're in need of a banquet (up to maybe around 100 people?), they also have a well-appointed basement that you can rent, and they will cater your event. Back to the standard bar-restaurant area, they now have digital menus which work well, and they will teach you how to use them. There are specials on the landing page, and then sections for burgers, sandwiches, meals, etc. A wait person will still take your order and handle substitutions, requests, and recommendations. Service is solid, and the food is good. The menu is a bit too broad for it to be great food, but they do a wide variety of things surprisingly well, so you're safe ordering almost anything, though I would question the salad bar, not from Ryan's perspectives, but the guests. Cheers.

We walked in to a pretty full restaurant and paid and got seated right away. So good atmosphere. The buffet food is average but the Mac and cheese was decent; not dry. Also I topped it with bacon and fried shrimp so that was very good. Salad bar looked good but I didn't partake. Fried chicken and potatoes were good. I love the cheese vegetables but I love cheese, so that's understandable. We went through about a full plate of buffet food before our steak arrived, and it tasted amazing considering the price and the fact that it comes with a full buffet. My steak was a bit undercooked, but the server guessed that it would be and asked me to check first and then confirmed it was a little undercooked and took it back to be cooked a little longer; 2nd time was perfect. So the service was great; love that she asked me to check and confirmed with me that it was under instead of making me feel bad for noticing myself and having to say something. Dessert was very good although the Boston crème pie was frozen.

There were a few vacant crocks but overall lots of options and multiple salad dressings. There were some veggies- I took some of the green bean casserole and it was a disappoint- not seasoned, not creamy- very dry. I had a piece of fish -it was ok, also a couple medium size fried shrimp. I had a hush puppy that was cooked properly and was good. The dessert area had several slices of cake, Jell-O and puddings. All our beverages were refilled constantly by our server who was exceptionally good-she also cleared away the mountain of plates as they were used and put to the side. There really wasn't ambience. It was a lot of people up and down eating a lot of food. The cost of the buffet for one senior and two adults was reasonable. I personally would not return there as I really didn't enjoy the food. 3 stars for great customer service!

Since they opened back up they have the best tasting food. They remember you and remember what you drink. Always friendly, and right there to clear the table of your plates. The restaurant is clean, fresh looking. The food hasn't tasted better. They have individual ice cream cups now so you don't have to use a sticky scoop. They have added cakes to the menu and they are delicious, moist and flavorful. I love the peanut chicken, and BBQ Ribs. Fantastic. If you haven't been here, come try it out. Come before 2 and get the lunch price. But dinner gets you the extra's added to the menu. Well worth giving them a try. We eat there at least 2-3 times a week. Love the friendly faces of the people working there. read more

I would give the New Jade Buffet ten stars if I could. This is the best buffet in the area if you like Chinese food. They offer a great selection of dishes, always delicious, and just the right temperature. Welcoming decor and clean, with a pleasant atmosphere. The staff is friendly, extremely courteous, and hard-working and the owners work right alongside to make sure everything runs smoothly. We enjoy eating there on a regular basis. They're the BEST! read more

This was an unexpected delight. I like most Chinese buffets, where I have hot and sour soup with rice and chicken dishes and sauteed green beans. But Jade had other buffet items that were surprisingly good, including salmon, beef dishes, and desserts. This is one of the best Chinese buffets I have ever gone to, and I will come back. read more

Unfortunately, by the time we went up for seconds the buffet was practically empty once again. The food wasn't cold, but it wasn't hot either. "Warm" is a good descriptor, but warm turns cool rather quickly. The price wasn't bad at $8.75, but more hot food (just what pretty much anyone would expect walking up to a buffet) would improve this rating to at least four stars.

There are plenty of protein options including seafood, beef, and chicken, along with a wide variety of vegetables, sauces like peanut, Thai chili, yum yum, and teriyaki, plus rice, several noodle choices, and even eggs. In addition to hibachi, there's a hot food bar with items like chicken wings, fried okra, fries, fried shrimp, and tempura vegetables. There's also a sushi bar with about 6 to 8 different rolls, along with wasabi and ginger. For dessert, they offer 6 to 8 flavors of ice cream, plus options like Jell-O, pudding, and strawberry cheesecake. The restaurant was extremely clean. I noticed staff cleaning throughout our visit and checking food temperatures on the buffet. The bathrooms were spotless and well stocked. The décor is modern and sleek, and there's plenty of seating throughout the restaurant. They also have several private rooms on the sides with large TVs, tables, and lighting, which would be great for events. Service was great and tables were cleared frequently. Lunch was about $14 per person, with drinks an additional $3. For the price, it's a solid value, especially if you enjoy sushi or hibachi. Compared to Hibachi up the street, this place has fewer hot food items but a larger hibachi selection with more meats, vegetables, and sauces. It also feels more focused on hibachi, while the other spot leans more toward American-style fried foods. This one is cheaper as well. There's plenty of parking out front, and it's close to other stores and restaurants. I would definitely go back and would be interested to see how dinner compares to lunch.
