Finally, somebody went up to complain to the owner. He walks back there looking around and all of a sudden bam food starter coming out. It's just not right you're open to nine. You should have enough food to feed the people that are paying good money to eat there yes some of the food choices I like did get replenished, but only complaining about it although the new place is nice. I don't think we will go back.also as we we're eating what was left lol most of the servers and what appeared to be cooks and dishwashers were eating their special dinners throughout the dining room no wonders no food was being made so I would suggest if you want to make the gamble go in early so you can get a wide variety of their food and not have to worry about them running out or not putting out any more replenishes so I'll just leave at that.

Staff was attentive and kept our drinks full. I had a little bit of everything and it was all to my liking. They had crab legs presented in 3 ways, cold, steamed, and in a Cajun style boil. If you love crab then this is the place to enjoy it until your hearts content. Soft drinks and juice are included in price as is all the sushi and sashimi.

However, the quality, variety and taste of the food determines if I will be a repeat customer. Although there was a good variety of foods, the fact that everything tasted bland. Each new item I tried l hoped would have more flavor than the previous item but unfortunately they were consistent but not in a good way. The only item I enjoyed was the round sugar coated donut balls, the sugar was sweet. Service was good but their whole job was to bring beverages and clear plates which our server did very well. Try it once and decide for your self but I recommend the lunch buffet so you spend less money while trying it out.

We ordered the cajun mix for crawfish and snow crab and garlic butter snow crab. All the boils are doused full of butter flavored oil (not real butter) which didn't allow for any flavor to reach your tongue or the meat. I may be spoiled with real Louisiana and Texas crawfish and seafood boils but the oil was so unpleasant. The crawfish was oily, flavorless, and tasted dirty. The crab was probably presalted and just reheated in the boil. I asked for some cajun seasoning and salt to sprinkle on top but there was just too much oil. I am disappointed with this type of boil and hope I can find a more traditional type with no oil somewhere in Buffalo.

The Crossroads Culinary Center, known as C3, is a dining facility on the University at Buffalo…read moreNorth Campus that is open to the public. You do not have to be a student or staff to eat here, the sign at the entry makes it clear that everyone is welcome. I work on campus, and my colleague and I decided to give it a try yesterday for the first time for a breakfast brainstorming session. We rode the bus out to Ellicott Complex, and with the help of some friendly students, found our way to the Red Jacket building. I had no idea what to expect, other than there is an effort to locally source the food served at C3. When we arrived, we realized it is an all-you-can-eat set-up. There is a cashier in the lobby, who you pay before going in. Prices slightly vary based on method of payment. I used my bank card, and paid $10.66 total. Inside the dining hall, there is a huge circular buffet that takes up the entire middle of the large space. It's surrounded by various seating options, (booths, tables, a bar area, couches by a fireplace), all done in a modern, sleek aesthetic. The breakfast food options were abundant. There is: * A yogurt, granola and fruit parfait station * A milk & cereal station (at least half a dozen cereals to choose from) * A baked goods station (muffins, danish, pastries, donut holes) * A Belgian waffle station with toppings * An oatmeal and toppings station * A bagel and toast station with toppings (butter, cream cheeses, PB and jellies) * A hot-line station with scrambled eggs, hash browns, french toast, sausage and bacon * A made-to-order kiosk for omelets, eggs any style, custom breakfast sandwiches, and a variety of pancake flavors * A condiments area with hot sauces, mayo, ketchup, mustard, etc. * A beverage bar with coffee, soda, juice, and a cappuccino machine So before getting there, I didn't realize it was AYCE, and was in the mindset to order something healthy and light. My typical workday breakfast at the office is a yogurt and some fruit. I'd splurge a little, but was thinking eggs and wheat toast. NOPE'ERS!!! I big-time splurged, and did two rounds of several plates. I tried the omelets. I tried the pancakes. I tried the oatmeal. I had all the meats and scrambled eggs. I ate the baked goods. I had coffee, cappuccino, and soda. All for about ten bucks!!! And the food? It was pretty good! The hot-line food wasn't sizzling hot, but it's a buffet, so what you'd expect. The made-to-order options I tried came out hot and fast. I love oatmeal, and the oatmeal with toppings was smooth and satisfying. The coffee was good, and the cappuccino machine was a nice perk. We hit a sweet-spot in timing, 9:30am, which seemed to be after the early-bird students were gone and before a small rush of sleep-in students showed up around 10:00am. Even so, it was never packed with gen-Z'ers. And the ones who were there were mellow and tame, no college party scene here. ;-) I definitely want to bring my husband and kids back sometime. The M&M pancakes are reason enough to bring my kids back, they'd love them. And for $10 a person, less if I put money on my UBBucks card, it's a super-steal of a deal. Dinner prices are higher, but still seem incredibly reasonable. Especially since the breakfast buffet used only HALF of the buffet space, so my guess is the dinner spread is even MORE food. One last tip. I mentioned we rode the bus, but it's not necessary. There are parking lots in Ellicott Complex, which usually have more parking available than by my office in the heart of North Campus. So check out a campus map, park near Red Jacket, find your way to C3, and wear your stretchy pants. Great price, ample variety, good food, nice atmosphere, feel like a college kid again, and leave the belt at home!

The place was really quiet and the 5 tables of patrons were all sitting back to back so it's like we were all in each other's business.
