There is a new Buffet in town.....look out any business that serves food. Hibachi grill, fresh sushi, huge crabs, shrimp, shrimp, shrimp, oysters, dessert, the list and choices are vast. I challenge anyone to try and sample everything in one visit!!!! This is the old Green Turtle. There is plenty of rooms with seating. If you have been to the one in Baltimore, you know. There is a large fish tank and a wall of water that greats you when you arrive. There is a Chocolate Fondue Tower, yes, you read that correctly. Fresh strawberries, bananas and marshmallows on skewers to dip under the fountain of flowing chocolate. The price, I don't even remember, I was zeroed in on the overwhelming spread. I want to say around $11-12....without a coupon. I know that there are $1.50 off coupons floating around too. I hope they keep up the service and quality, it is very good and reasonably priced for a buffet. 5 stars, as good as it gets for a buffet. read more

Teppanyaki Grill - Buffets Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

This is a nice option for buffet lovers. It is an Asian/Seafood based buffet. Plenty of seafood options with some surprises "Treasure Shrimp, Baked clams.." I visited the Laurel location on 6/15/2014 for Father's Day because nothing rocks my dad's socks more than a smorgasbord of food for a good cheap price of about $14, seafood to boot! When you walk in, the ambience is set with low neon lighting and a streamlined water fall wall for decor. Most of the seating is booth styled, which makes it hard to get up for more helpings. Chairs and tables are in the party room for large parties (8+). The "american" dishes available are fried chicken, chicken nuggets, salad and mac and cheese. Most of the food is tasty with the exception of the mystery foods a la the Treasure shrimp. There is a nice selection of sushi rolls and there is a habachi grill. The line for the habachi grill is long! There is also a cold bar with the desserts, fruit and some cold seafood items (crab legs, shrimp cocktail, etc.) This area seems slower to replenish the food items. I was disappointed that there were no scallops to be found. I didn't ask a staff member, but on my multiple trips, i didn't see any. There's also icecream and a chocolant fondue fountain with strawberries and marshmallows. The staff were all direct and quick moving. Dont expect warm and friendly personalities. They get the job done. With all that said, I DO NOT LIKE BUFFETS! I may, however ,do a brunch buffet. The sight of seeing any and everyone over my food, licking fingers, children handling food unsupervised ...grosses me out. I never have an appetite fitting for a buffet, so I don't go. The kids loved it as well as my dad and other family members. read more

A great deals for the money. Their clams are really good. Sushi is too. Will definitely go again next time we're in the area.

Great service, excellent food. I won $20 from the mini claw machine. It is a nice place to take the family for a night out

The waiters in their restaurant have a bad attitude，We come in here by the way They turned a deaf ear to our demands， which was not reasonable . we never come Again！ I want to write it out so，Don't let us choose our position and lose our temper！ read more

Very poor service and food look like Chinese style，but no tasty. In addition, they were not fresh or clean! Although the restaurant is claiming "all you can eat" and " no time limit" from dinner time (5 to 9 pm). However when you have stayed there more than two hours or certain food you like, there was a waitress will remind you of staying here too long or not refilling the food you like. I recommend people not go there and I will not go there again. Food are awful. read more

I'm really confused by why the ratings for this place are so low. Is the food here healthy and high-quality? No, but that's a given with these types of places so I don't think anyone should come here realistically expecting it to be. I'm personally not a big fan of Asian-style buffets like these and actually try to avoid them whenever possible but for the sake of objectivity and fairness, Teppanyaki is easily better than similar types of buffets I've been to. Decor/ambience: The inside is really clean and has a modern, vibrant feel. The seating and buffet areas are pretty spacious so you don't have a lot of people cluttered together. Service: Most of it is self-served but the waitresses made regular rounds to collect finished plates and to provide drinks so everything ran pretty smoothly. Food: The variety of food here was exceptional. The selection of fruits was surprisingly large (kiwi, lychee, pineapple, what have you) and most fruits appeared to be fresh. I didn't try any of the cakes, but they also looked surprisingly good and delicious. I had some of their ice cream and it was on-point. The sushi also looked and tasted surprisingly good. For the fried foods, the selection ranges from Western classics like pigs-in-a-blanket and mac-n-cheese to Asian cuisines like Chinese and Thai food. Even though most of the food was fried, I definitely took note of how little oil there was and how solid the textures were throughout. If Asian buffets aren't your thing, it's understandable if you don't want to go here. However, if you are looking for quantity-for-price or happen to be roped into this like I was, just know that the experience you'll be getting is far better than the standards of other Asian buffets. read more

See all

The food is alright here but my only complain is that the servers be asking for extra tip, I went on a Saturday one day with my family (4 people), there was this one server she was very nice but on that Saturday I had a different server tell us to give her extra 10 dollar tip asking for more money. Definitely not coming here again, They always put the fortune cookie on the table when you get fruits, not giving us time to even finish. Don't recommend this place overall read more

Driving there from work- a few bucks Lunch for two- $20 plus tip Friday afternoon lunch with your adult son- Priceless Its a big buffet place with lots of choices. Friday a little after 1 p.m. and it was still packed (lots of ethnic people as well, which I use as a sign of "goodness"). The foods were still being filled, fresh and hot. Nothing was particularly spectacular-but everything I had was good. It s alittle out of my way so I wouldn't make a trip from Baltimore for it, but from work near Airport or to meet my Terp son for lunch it is certianly now on the to do list. read more

The food is Ok but the management is just so bad!!! They put 15% more on the bill per a policy says they will do if we're 7 or more. However, we were 5, 1 kid and an infant and they insisted to let us pay that 15% or to sit separate DISPITE the hall was not crowded at all and it was weekday!!! read more

I'd driven by this place a few times thinking I'd give it a shot one day. Not like I'm the biggest fan of buffets but I do like hibachi-style so.... ... I finally got my shot at it today. I was thinking once i took a cruise around the buffet offerings that i was going to get a decent bang for my buck. I was pleasantly surprised at what they served as "prime ribs" [sic]. ... and then it happened. Just about finished with the meal and was just gonna sit and finish my drink and chat with my dining companion when I saw the ROACH on the wall a few feet away. I was prepared to run out and never look back. Companion stops to tell the waitress who doesn't look grossed out so much, and then we left. Arrived home to the BG's.. NEVER again. Not if it was the last place on Earth. read more

They automatically will charge you a extra 15% for groups of 7 or over BuT they will not mention it to you and when you finish the waitress will be very pushy asking you for tip. She even ask us do you want to leave me a tip?! I was like I already got charged for tip. So be very careful as this is very shady. read more

I've been coming here since 2011. I moved away and decided to come back for dinner since I was around the area. Myself and 4 kids, it was $98. They charged the kids as adults now, all of which were under 13 years old. About 45 minutes later the waitress handed us fortune cookies, as if she was expecting us to finish up. But all the tables around us were already eating prior to our arrival and she didn't seem to bother them. We decided to leave and she kept being pushy about getting a tip. She said exactly this, "you not going to take care of me?" I don't usually do reviews but this one here deserved it. read more

Not a huge fan of this place. While there is a wide variety of food options for buffet, and pricing is reasonable (you can get your money's worth), the food here just isn't that good. A lot of the food items look like they've been sitting out for a while--dry and unappealing, not to mention, some tasted bland. I've been here several times hoping their food quality would improve but I keep leaving disappointed. read more

Mediocre food. I recommend you try another place unless you are simply looking for cheap group dining.

There's something for everyone here. Spacious enough for group gatherings and enough options for the finickiest of eaters. Many people come to a buffet and instead of enjoying the offerings they attend with the mindset "I'm about to eat my money's worth". That's the wrong mindset to have as it promotes those who bring their zip-locs and even the neighbors half-grown kids trying to pass them off as being younger with the hope of paying the reduce price for a kid's meal. Nice decorations and if you like seafood, on certain nights of the week they have crab legs for an additional charge. For this particular location, it can become crowded on the weekend and hectic w/kids being unsupervised. Not a lot of interaction from the servers who scurry around haphazardly pushing food off the table onto the floor and booths as the next round of diners stampede in. I don't mind buffet dining but this place and its going-ons were a bit much. read more

There was a rat and they did nothing the bathroom stalls don't close. DONT GO HERE! The woman asked if we had a video we said no but she clearly saw the rat run across the room. It's expensive and there selection of food isn't even good. The food is reused they over cooked a lot of ittt . read more

They don't care about the rules they post for Covid precautions. Signs clearly say put on gloves while at the buffet. Does management watch the patrons or enforce the rules??? Hell no! Patrons touching tongs plates and even food without masks or gloves on. Children allowed to run around the food stations. This is the delta mu mix breed Covid in this damn establishment. read more

So I was hungry and just finished work and decided to go for lunch. I got there it smell old and needs updating but did not worry about that because some places look old have good food. Anyways they sat me and I got my food it was terriable the Wong tong did not taste like Wong tong and was ice cold barf. So I got a plate and my friend and we both where pissed all the food was cold and omg the fish smelled bad. They replaced the fish on the bar after we said something. Then we complained about the food they told us then eat the habachin bar it will be hot and they would tell there cooks. We said umm no and asked for a refund. I would not eat hear. Eat at the one 4 min up the street the GrandE Buffet & Grill. I went there omg awesome read my review about that one. But AGAIN DONT EAT AT HERE!!!!!! read more

----The good---- - Buffet is usually packed, so there's always fresh food on the buffet. - Tons of variety (sushi, hibachi, roast meats, Chinese food, an entire buffet island of fried food). - They have Sriracha sauce, which makes Chinese food buffets -that- much better. - The hibachi "chefs" are pretty efficient. - Interior is nice and clean - it is brand new after all - and the bathroom is swanky. - Although the sushi consists primarily of rolls and initiation crab meat, what they do have is pretty good. I'm a fan of the spicy tuna rolls. - The cakes are tasty as well as the ice cream. ----The bad---- - The food that's on the buffet isn't very good. The brown sauce they use here seems to just be brown food coloring because it doesn't taste like anything. - the "fondue" fountain is filled with chocolate syrup, NOT the chocolate w/ higher cocoa butter that is typically used. So rather than having chocolate dipped fruits, you end up having chocolate syrup all over your plate w/ only a trace amount of syrup left on the fruits. Not to mention the kids who go CRAZY using the fountain and do things with it health inspectors wouldn't approve of - but I'm not gonna lie, I've wanted to drink from a fondue fountain before. - Drinks are not included in the advertised buffet price. - REALLY loud. If you're sitting down to just stuff your face, not a problem, but if you have any thoughts of communicating with the people you're dining with? Forget about it. ----The ugly---- - The entrance is an absolute CLUSTER! There's groups of diners a) waiting in line to pay, b) waiting in the other line to get a number for their table, c) waiting around for their number to be called or d) playing the coin pushing game just as you enter the door. And it's like this almost every night. My love for Chinese buffets cannot be understated but I think waiting 30-45 minutes for one, not to mention navigating the mess of bodies at this buffet is absurd. - If you go at off-peak hours, they clearly use old vegetables. Forgivable on the cooked food islands since you can't tell when the stale veggies are doused in Mmmm So Good (MSG), but on the hibachi? Where you can see the brown spots? So if you go at an off-peak hour and stick to the hibachi, you'll probably have a good experience here. If you get there and find the entrance packed, I highly recommend you going just down the street to Empire Buffet, which isn't nearly as fancy, but the food is much better IMHO. If you want a similar up-scale ambiance, head to Poseidon Seafood Buffet in Glen Burnie. read more

I have been here numerous times and the food here is always fresh! From the hibachi grill to the crawfish, crab leg, crabs, salt and pepper shrimp, green beans, asparagus, fried chicken, steamed dumplings, fried/steamed rice to the yummy chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert; this place will not disappoint! Reasonable prices and very nice waiters and waitresses. read more

DON'T EAT HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SICK. I only gave one star because you can not give none. Made a plate from the hibachi grill, sat down to eat it and found mixed inside the food a molded rotten piece of chicken, called the manager over who tried to be quiet about the situation, showed him the chicken and he says let me refund your money come to the front. That was it, no apology no expression, nothing. Took our money and left, will never, never return. Will upload picture soon. read more

Teppanyaki Grill - Dont eat here!!!! Chicken is bad!!!!! - Buffets Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Wow, great place, great food, great service!!! I've been here a few times, My only, ONLY complaint was the noise level. Really have NO idea what the other posts here are talking about. The food is great...ITS BUFFET!! Not like Hometown buffet, or Golden Corrall, NOT AT ALL, this food is really good! and the choices are VAST!! Great place! Great Price!! read more

This is by far the best Chinese buffet I have ever been to. Here's a few reasons why: 1. BANG FOR YOUR BUCK: Lunch time buffet at about 8$ and dinner time at about 11$-- you can't beat that price (if you want a soft drink or other beverage it's an extra 2$) 2. HIBACHI: The hibachi grill is TDF (to die for) The grill master is always on point with quick service and an excellent tasting dish ( don't forget to add the YUM YUM sauce to your hibachi plate!) 3. VARIETY: Great selection of all kinds of fresh and delicious food, including the sushi bar. 4. ENVIRONMENT: A great atmosphere with nice lighting - perfect for dates, friendly outings, family dinners, or even dining alone. I go here quite often and highly recommend it. Enjoy! read more

Since I can't eat a lot of food at one sitting, I get buffet food to take out. Usually, this is fine, but you should be aware that 25-33% of food is labeled "dine-in dinner only" which I took to mean that you could eat it there but not for take-out. They also have three prices: buffet, buffet with seafood ($1 more per lb.), seafood only ($2 more per lb.). I don't know why they just don't charge the highest price and let customers pay by weight. Food is typical Chinese buffet stuff, but I do give them an extra star for having oysters on the half shell and steamed blue crab. But then I can't speak as to the quality of the "dine-in" food, which might have been awful, might have been fabulous. The restaurant mails out a lot of coupons, so if I go back, I'll use a coupon. I wish restaurants would realize how off-putting grubbing for pennies is. If you offer a buffet, do what other buffets do and charge enough to cover a container of your most expensive food. Very likely NO ONE will do this, and they will make enough off the lower-cost items to make a hefty profit. But I'm annoyed enough to go back to the Empire buffet instead of eating here. read more

I, as a rule, am not a fan of buffets. This one has better food then most. The servers are very efficient. But the food is still mediocre at best. I know that for the $11 plus drink it is all you can eat, but is it worth eating? It is OK. The hibachi is a nice idea, but it is a little slow for a Buffet. I know that at least half of the problem is people put Way too much of items that take longer to cook. I also know they need to cook it so it is safe; we don't want any HACCP problems. The kitchen prep team needs to be cutting things into proper sizing so the meats are done while the veggies are crisp and tender, but they don't. They also need some steak knives for the customers to eat the shoe leather with, and they use too much soy. I tried the sushi despite the little voice in my head that said "this ain't the place". Man, I gotta listen to the little voice more often. The salt and pepper chicken and the salt and pepper shrimp were really awesome. General Tso's chicken was also a high point. The puddings on the dessert bar were really good as well. I am not commenting on the salad bar because if you mess up salad... close the doors. I am sure the herd will drag me back, they always do. read more

This place is good and believe me my dad has dragged me to a ton of chinese buffets in the area. The selection has a great variety and the price is very good. They have the sushi bar, grilling station, seafood, and both chinese and fried american cuisine. They even have a chocolate fountain but i don't want to know what things go in there especially with all the children running around. Same thing with the ice cream bar... I've seen kids sticking their whole body in the freezer. The decor is better than normal with a pretty cool fountain in the lobby but it has the typical do not touch signs and random cheesy decors that you always see. I have yet to play the single quarter dropping game next to the front door. read more

Its a Asian Buffet, What did I expect? Well something worse than this. Teppanyaki is actually surprisingly good for a buffet. Server was prompt and kept our dishes cleared and the drinks filled. We never had to ask for refills once. The food was above average for Asian buffets. Teppanyaki grill was delicious, the soups were good (I had a small helping of 2 types). The Blue Crabs were small and not worth the picking and overcooked. I come from Southern MD - What did I expect? The fruit was rather bad. The fish was great along with most of the hot dishes. Salad Bar looked good but I didn't have any. Ice cream was good. TIpped 15%. Would eat here again! read more

Please God No. Children. Children everywhere. Children placing their unwashed snot covered hands in everything they could reach. Do not go near the chocolate fountain I saw more than one thing other than the bananas and strawberries get shoved under the flowing stream of e coli . The greedy digging of feral wildlings continues at the ice cream sunday bar. tiny hands scraping the creamy sticky goodness off the sides of the containers. No thought is given the the utensils at hand to make the job easy just grasping for a smoochy cold handful of sweetness right in to their greedy gobs.. Be safe and stick to the Mongolian where you are the only one to touch your food. read more

If roaches are your thing then this is the place for you!!! We watched as a family was moved to another table after discovering a little critter scurrying across the wall. The server was apparently used to this situations as she didn't flinch and just kept going on about her business. After we the little thing trail off into the window sill, we slid our plates to the side and left. Bottom line: ROACHES, overpriced sub par buffet food, and roaches!!! read more

I have been looking for the Maryland/D.C. equiavlent to Yank Sing Buffet in Temple TX and I think I found it. The food and service are comparable to my old favorite and they have a chocolate fondue fountain which surprised me a lot, since most buffets wouldn't go to that sort of length. Only reason this place didn't get a full 5 stars is the weird glowing blue decor which didn't really fit the oriental theme. However, as a new place, it's pretty crowded right now on Friday/Saturday so expect to wait for a seat at least for a few minutes. read more

Bring a vomit bag in tow, because you're going to need it. This Teppanyucki (yes, yucky) Grill has emerged in the location of what was once one of the staples of Laurel, The Greene Turtle. It has crawled from a murky cesspool, bringing along what I can only describe as swamp food. My first inclination that this place was not so great was the spectacle of design of this "restaurant" (it hurts to even call it that). A large fish tank, streaming water--all there to distract you about the fact that you're eating food that's fit for the bottom of a dumpster. The area I sat in smelled like mildew and mold--similar to what another reviewer said. So, not only does the food taste like sweaty gym socks, but the restaurant smells like it too! What a treat. If you've been to any other major "Chinese" buffet, this is all going to look pretty similar--except the fact that the owners have slapped "Teppankyaki" in front of it to capitalize off of the Benihana and Sakura name. They have sushi, which tastes like garbage. The meat is obviously cheap--extremely fatty doused in sodium laden sauce to mask it. How the heck do you screw up rice? Ask the chefs at Teppanyaki Supreme Buffet and I'm sure they'll be glad to show you. They have those sugar coated donuts, random American food which tastes like they stole it from Cactus Willie's, another Laurel "favorite" that has luckily left. Word of advice: if the restaurant can't spell the name of the food correctly, don't eat it. Ex: Glaric Shrimp. I tried a few items, and then tried them again later that day, if you get my gist. I would suspect that most of the idiots that go here (yes, idiots--this parking lot is always packed) think that they are eating real Japanese food--I don't see how that's possible though. The restaurant claims to serve American, Italian, Japanese, Chinese and Thai. What I see is food sitting in disgusting sauces under hot lamps--weird frankenstein creations that only someone who really hates humans (or animals) would create. UPDATE 10/16/11: To reviewer Cy G.: Interesting. Nothing in this review talks about buffets specifically--everything is pretty much specific to this place. The fact of the matter is that there are better choices in Laurel that won't well, make you ill. UPDATE 12/21/11: As an update, I'm pretty sure that the guest I took here on the day of this review got diagnosed with Giardia after eating here--and I've also heard numerous stories of people in the Laurel area getting food poisoning from here. Avoid at all costs. read more

I'm torn between giving Teppanyaki Grill three stars or four stars, but since the buffet is suffering from a great deal of negative reviews, I'll give them a four. You have to set your expectations properly when eating here. You are eating at a Chinese buffet; do not expect the staff to come by every five minutes to clear up plates and refill your drinks. When I went around 1:30pm, the place was PACKED. Literally every table was filled up; the staff was rushing everywhere trying to seat people, clear tables, and refill the empty stations. The staff doesn't have time to answer all your questions, so I understand how some customers may be disgusted by the service. The buffet is decorated quite nicely, with good lighting/music and all. There is a great variety of food for anyone to enjoy, including a sushi bar, hibachi grill, seafood, fresh meat of all kinds (both American and Chinese). The fruit bar had all types of fruits and the dessert bar had an assortments of cakes, pudding, cookies, etc. I took a small slice of every type of cake there and they were all delicious, especially the chocolate one. The ice cream station has ~8 flavors, which is a nice change from the typical vanilla/chocolate ice cream. Some of the dishes may not seem appetizing, but give them a try! I was pleasantly surprised by how some dishes tasted compared to how it looked. I'm definitely a fan of this buffet, and recommend this place to anyone in the area. read more

The three of us yesterday from New York to travel, to eat here, I feel very bad, something is not fresh, and informal charges, a person 12.99 $ checkout when we received 56.99 $ to credit card is 60 $ What does this mean ?? I intend to sue the restaurant. read more

Teppanyaki Grill - Buffets Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

My daughter loves sushi, but only being 9 years old, she is not yet the connoisseur (thankfully). Whenever she begs for sushi, I try to opt for the cheapest around, which are usually at buffets. We tried this place for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised when we walked in. The neon blue lights were actually pretty and I liked the dim lighting, unlike many Asian buffet places, it was not super bright. Everything was ok and pretty typical of other similar buffets, including the various kinds of sushi rolls. It was also pretty cheap--$14 for both me and my daughter at lunchtime on a Saturday. The highlight for my daughter was the chocolate fountain, to make her own chocolate covered strawberries and marshmallows. The kid loved it, so I'm sure we'll be back. *4 stars for comparison to other similar establishments. read more

Ok, so let me give it to you straight...this place is like a club...like no joke! My fiance, son and I went here for Valentine's Day. We were in the neighborhood and the parking lot was packed, so I thought this place must be good. We get it there...why is there a line? Actually, two lines...one to pay and then one to get seated. The waitresses look like they are suppose to be at a strip club. Do I get a lap dance with my meal or something? Craziness. We finally get seated and our table is cool. A normal buffet. The food was okay, but I mean even some of the customers were danced like they were heading to Lux after wards, and they might have. My fiance comes back from getting his food and he says to me, "yo...babe...you got see this chick...she has to be a stripper." So I get up to see (acting like I was getting some food) and there she is...I could literally see her cheeks and her two friends were just in everyones face. For real??? I couldn't believe it. So all in all, the food was ok, but I mean....the staff members aka strippers, I can't deal with that. LOL! read more

HORRIBLE. Rude staff, mediocre food and carpet that smells like a dirty diaper-in some areas. I used to come here with my son, because I always got a coupon for them and they were cheap. I mean, I came every weekend for about five months. Today I got there before 3:30pm, it was about 3:27. The rude girl who works the cashier station-you know the one if you've ever been there on the weekend. She is the one who screams "NEXT" as soon as you pay-said it was dinner prices. Even though I showed her their clock on the wall that said 3:28 and my phone that had the same time. She spoke in another language to the man beside her, with a smirk on her face, then the man-who I think is a manager, told me it was dinner prices. Then he told me, "come on, you're going to eat dinner food anyway, right?" Well, no, I wasn't. Their crab is always over done, and sometimes VERY fishy smelling (a bad sign) the calamari like rubber and nothing else of note on the dinner buffet is worth paying for. The only things I liked were the orange chicken and mei fun noodles. Their sushi has also made me violently ill before, so I would stay clear of that. Obviously, they only care about dollars, so I couldn't see them throwing out any food that is spoiled or contaminated. They won't even clean their horrible carpet! Anyway, I will never be back. So, they have lost a customers over about six bucks. Well done Teppanyaki, you are rude to so many people I hope you go out of business. There are so many people in these reviews complaining about contaminated food and rude staff. Do NOT go here, I am glad this happened today. It will save me another round of food poisoning, only reason I ever came back was because it was cheap and so am I. You get what you pay for. Never again. read more

We came here about two years ago and said -- "not coming here again". The place they sat us had a funny smell. I think it was a wet carpet and it smelled bad and trying to eat wasn't that pleasant. So we gave it another chance. First of, ask what the price is during lunch -- because we came here during the weekend thinking it'll be less than $10 for lunch and it was close to our house-- but for two people at lunch time (around 1pm) it was $28 and we just ordered water as our drinks and one hot tea. We even looked around for a price on the walls and didn't see one. Because we were hungry, we just paid. It is a clean place and welcoming. It has a big entrance lobby and an organized process to control those who need to pay and who needs to be seated. Ambience, floors and tables were clean but the chairs need some care because there are a lot of ripped seats. There is also a big boat in the middle of the floor that has the fruits, salads, and cold dishes displayed. They have sushi being made, habachi grill you can get your fried rice or lo mein made, ice cream tubs in a cooler you can scoop yourself and 4 stations of hot food. Even with all that mentioned, I felt I was missing what you usually can get at a buffet place-- esp not for $14+ a person for lunch. The salt and pepper shrimp with the head on was always out and hardly refilled --- the only way I knew they had some was on someone else's plate. I did like their calamari -- it wasn't crispy but it was tasty. They had oysters, but that was also not refilled and the ones I had were kind of slimey (those of you that eat oysters know what I mean). They had crawfish and small light crabs -- but again, they weren't refilled often and it wasn't even packed with people. None of the food really stood out to me and there was still a slight smell on the carpet in the same room we sat in before. I'll give them the cleanliness and the service wasn't bad...but for the second time to come here and still leave with the "not coming back here again" afterthought, must mean something. read more

I do love a good buffet, Lord knows I do.. But, this was a bad experience from the beginning. First of all, I didn't know that I had to wait to be seated (I was with 2 small children who were acting crazy), so I went to find a seat. The waitress looked at us like we were green aliens and we had to wait forever to get her to clean the table and to get us drinks. This was strike #1. Then, we get to to food part, and as soon as I finish my first plate, my stomach starts to bubble. I am feeling the infamous dread of bubble guts in the middle of my meal. I didn't even eat foods that were weird. Needless to say, I didn't make it out of the restaurant with a full and satisfied stomach. But the only good thing, is that the bathrooms were very clean and well stocked. (Oh and my dining partner also didn't make it out of the restaurant, as she had to use the bathroom as well before we left) I would not return to eat here, even if I had drank a whole bottle of Pepto Bismol. Atmosphere- 4 Food- 1 Wait Staff- 2 Average: Not Impressed read more

Expected dinner selection. However, the food was lukewarm to cold. Having worked in the food industry, this is a health code violation waiting to happen! I asked the server to heat my soup...she forgot. I reminded her and she gave a non-committal smile and brought fortune cookies. WHAT ABOUT MY SOUP???! read more
