    My aunt frequents this buffet and wanted to take me when I was in town. I was a bit skeptical but I have to say, it wasn't bad. I would even say it was good. Now this is not gourmet Chinese food. But for a Chinese buffet, they had the bases more than covered, and nothing I ate was bad or in any way unfresh. -So one of the showstoppers is the cold peel and eat shrimp. They were fine. Fresh. I had a bunch of them. -There are soups and salads but I skipped those to save room. -There's a sushi bar in the back, with a small assortment of rolls and nigiri. I had a smattering of things. All were OK, none were great. The best one was the spicy tuna. But this was at least passable sushi, and I did not feel like anything was not fresh. I will say the larger rolls were so huge I had trouble fitting the whole piece in my mouht. -Other standouts: the fried selections were great, from eggrolls to cream cheese wontons. -The dessert bar was decent... and the cream puffs were good. Service was decent.

    My sister and I were hungry, so we came here. Parking: a private lot. Atmosphere: bright and loud Service: The ladies were nice and helpful Food: The Crab boil is separate from the buffet. We paid about $30 for a pound of snow crab, potatoes, and corn. We ordered the ruby sauce. The boil was tasteless. We were disappointed. The buffet area is small. It was clean. Our favorites were the dumplings, chicken, and steak with broccoli, the seafood salad. I had sushi, and it was ok. Overall, our experience was ok. We'd go back and get our favorites.

    Ordered from doordash and picked up In person Food was ready fast Got lost- didn't know it was the same place as "ruby's buffet"- there are no visible sign of ruby's Cajun outside Got combo #2 and house fried rice The seafood was okay although some of the crawfish didn't taste super fresh Fried rice was also pretty salty fyi Pretty salty, would recommend eating it with white rice

    Hot food bar

    In one word I'd call this place "average." For two adult buffets and one soda it was $39. I wanted sushi and my boyfriend wanted options so this worked for us. The sushi pieces were small or too big but tasted good. I loved the cheese wontons! The service was okay, this place leaves a big bowl on your table where you can put seafood shell, straw wrappers, etc to be disposed of in addition to the server.

    Look, if you end up here, you're not looking for top grade sushi and high end quality food. It serves its purpose which is bulk food at your pace. We arrived pretty early upon opening so there was plenty of hot food options. Avoid the Italian and Mexican options. Stick to the Asian food. The only thing Cajun that I saw was crawfish. It is what is.

    For $13.99/adult dinner buffet, this place is really good. I just don't like their restroom.

    My favorite choices are fresh oyster and clams, oysters are small, but clams are very good. As tourist, it's a nice choice for quick dinner.

Honestly, it was way too much food for two people, but I wanted to sample everything and I'm glad I did. The seafood was fresh, meaty, and perfectly cooked. Their special sauce was the star of the show rich, garlicky, and at the mild spicy level it had just enough kick to keep every bite exciting without overwhelming the natural sweetness of the seafood. Dipping crab legs into that sauce was pure happiness. The garlic noodles deserve a shoutout too: savory, buttery, and the perfect companion to all the seafood richness. Inside, it's a decent place to meet with friends--spacious, comfortable, and surprisingly you're not walking out smelling like seafood. Service was spot-on, friendly and attentive the whole way through. I enjoyed a cold beer and a mixed drink alongside the meal, and they paired perfectly with all the seafood. Prices aren't bad for what you're getting--seafood is always on the pricier side, but the freshness and portions here make it worthwhile. Definitely a spot I'll be raving about and coming back to again.

Let's get to the food. Blackened catfish platter ($17 with tax) Catfish melts in your mouth, seasoned amazing throughout the catfish, flaky, delicious and spicy. 10/10 The sauce that came with it omg it makes the catfish 10 times better giving it a more kick and flavor. Sauce 10/10 Fries- Fries well seasoned and delicious with a kick with the onion and peppers makes them even better. Wish they were a little bit crunch on them but overall amazing fries- 9/10 Cornbread- This corn bread is soft, flaky, sweet, soft on the inside and moist. The seasoning on the cornbread is good it's a different take on cornbread and I like it. 9/10 Definitely recommend for anyone wanting any fish, chicken, breakfast or more.
