    Well, this is was unexpected. I went into this experience tired and starving but expecting a Golden Corral meal level that did the job as this was located across the street from my hotel. At first glance was a bit surprised at the size thinking the options were more than I expected but, again, this isn't my first buffet so I knew it would be edible but nothing great. Well color me shooketh. This buffet was buffets like Golden Corral promise but don't deliver. The food was delicious and the variety was incredible: soul food, Mexican, Italian, grilled meats, fish, seafood, burgers, pizza, side dishes of roasted garlic balsamic Brussels sprouts to Onion rings and fries. Let me give you an example, I passed on the steak because I KNEW buffet steak: tough, overcooked and dry. My son got it was like "mom this is very good" so he gave me bite. Wood grilled, tender and juicy and not overcooked. Now, it was on par with Outback or Texas Roadhouse so don't expect Capital Grill but for 16.99 a person and all you can eat? 10/10. Desserts were solid but normal buffet level, the standout is the cakes which were very good. Service was kind, friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!

    Yummy desserts

    One of the best American buffet I've had in recent years. Even greater was the price, an excellent value for the wide variety of dishes. Extra points since most of the items were good quality. Staff were friendly & attentive. If you want even better value, come for lunch. Dining area is enormous but not crowded.

    This is the first we dined at this buffet. There are so many items serving for the dinner buffet. They offer senior discount and as long as you arrive before 4 pm, you still pay lunch price. Drinks are not included in the buffet. I believe it is $2.49 for soda. I was pleasantly surprised with the selections. They have fresh fruits, salad, two choices for soup, all kinds of meats, fish, etc. The salad offerings are very good. Everything was very good. Service was excellent.

    lovely, lovely desserts..

    Was in the area and looking for a place to eat that I had never been to before. Looked up buffets (a guilty pleasure of mine), and found this place. I expected a Golden Corral knock-off, but what I got was even better! LOTS of variety, and so many good things to choose from. Some items I had never had before, others were lightyears beyond any other place I had tried in the past in terms of taste and quality. I was seated in a room separate from the main dining area. It was a busy Friday evening, and I was expecting scraps on the line since it was getting later. However, to my surprise: they were still stocking fresh food right up until closing! Service was awesome. My server Keisha was excellent! (Give that girl a raise!) I never once had to ask for refills, and my cup was never empty. Place seemed pretty clean too. My favorites were the cheeseburgers, brussel sprouts, broccoli casserole, barbeque ribs, crab cakes, and the desserts. Plenty of something for everyone at this one. They don't have any of these where I live, and since I was only visiting the city, I was trying to make the most out of my experience. I could've gorged myself even further on more grub, but I resisted. If I ever return to that area, I will certainly be going back! Perhaps one of, if not the best buffet I've ever been to! (and the first five-star review I've ever left on here) Only complaints: some of the salad options were not that great. Avoid the peaches, folks! No bueno! Overall, one of the best restaurants I have had the pleasure of dining at. Can't wait to go back.

    Great food at a great price. Amazing they can offer such a wide variety of food (including fresh fruits and vegetables) at this price. Come hungry. Highly recommend to everyone.

    We needed a lunch stop on a road trip and decided to give it a shot with all the reviews. Level setting, it's your basic buffet serving various American food. There were items that did surprise me with how they were. Fried chicken, fried shrimp, green beans, cheddar garlic biscuits; all solid choices. A few items were fine. Mashed potatoes, Swedish meatball, chicken tenders, stuffing/dressing, chicken soup; a little less flavorful than I'd have hoped. Nothing was bad, though there were items I wouldn't get again in favor of ones I preferred. Food was coming out frequently and fresh, so that was nice. Staff was attentive and checked in as we ate. While I might not make it a destination, it was a good lunch at a decent price.

    The tomatoes looked so ripe! I had to get a picture.

    This was an amazing buffet! Let me tell you, I was skeptical until I read the reviews. This was the best buffet I've been to since I was a kid. The food is so good!!! The employees do a good job a keeping the food fresh and plentiful. The buffet was kept stocked and nothing seemed to be old. The food was well seasoned, too! The yeast rolls were huge! I had two...tee hee. My sister and I cannot stop talking about how good it was. We'll definitely come back!

Rehearsal Dinner The first signs of trouble appeared here. Despite our wedding planner reaching out hours before the event, Jason (the owner) never responded. He was responsible for providing tables and chairs for 40 guests but brought enough for less than a third. While the food was acceptable, it did not match the quality we experienced during our tasting. Wedding Day Our wedding had about 135 guests; per the contract, the catering team was supposed to arrive 3 hours early to assist with setup, food prep, and drinks. Instead, most staff and food arrived late and during the ceremony. Jason was not on-site and could not be reached until well after the event began. The bartenders arrived on time but with no direction and without mixers (also part of the contract), forcing our planner to purchase them out of pocket. Luckily we provided the alcohol so we at least had beer and wine. Because of their late arrival and lack of organization, we had to delay happy hour, dinner, and the reception. When food was finally served, many agreed-upon dishes were missing, including gluten-free options for guests with dietary restrictions. Portions were inconsistent, and they ultimately ran out of food, leaving 20+ guests--including our band and planner--without dinner. Jason did not arrive until after 8 PM (seven hours late) and offered no apology or solution to running out of food. After the Event The team was contracted to handle cleanup, breakdown and trash removal, but this was minimally worked on. Our planner stayed until midnight to clean what she could, after Jason and his staff had left. The next day, my wife, several guests and I spent the whole morning finishing what Jason hadn't done. Afterwards, while my wife and I are trying to enjoy our honeymoon and recover from the disaster he created with our wedding, he harassed my wife about getting all of the items he had left at the venue (we had to take them and store them in our trailer so we didn't get charged by the venue). He didn't have the decency to communicate during the wedding or make efforts to correct his mistakes, but he sure could call and text us non-stop when it was impacting his pocket book. You might wonder if there were warning signs. Honestly, there weren't--until the rehearsal dinner. Leading up to the wedding, Jason was responsive and helpful. He provided a wonderful tasting, he even met us a couple months in advance to walk venue and discuss our needs and coordinate with our wedding planner. He even worked with us to design a menu that accommodated multiple dietary restrictions. He seemed professional and committed. However, on the day of, he was overcommitted and underperformed. The food quality was nowhere near what we had at the tasting. It seemed either Jason didn't prepare the food himself (the head chef onsite was not Jason) or he cannot scale his recipes. Most dishes were bland, poorly cooked, or inedible. Jason may be a fine chef, but he is not a caterer. Something though that really defines who Jason and LFA Catering is, not once, to this day have we received an apology for everything that happened. In fact, during any conversation, with us or anyone else involved, he has only made excuses and tried to defend his actions saying he did the best he could. I'm sorry, but if that's the attitude you plan to have, I could not in good conscious recommend him to anyone for any catering needs. After reading another review where he no called and no showed, I feel lucky we at least received some food and services. I truly feel for those people. I hope whoever has spent the time to read this and their review, learn from our mistakes and stay as far away as possible from this company.

The presentation of the food is always beautiful and classy. I had some of the most memorable foods at the two events I attended that were catered by them. For a foodie like me, that's saying a lot! I first had their food at an Anthro graduate student event at UVA and it was so delicious and classy that I absolutely had to inquire about who did the catering. They had these amazing candied ginger brownies, a wonderful variety of gourmet breads and dips, and some other great desserts that slip my mind now. Everything was to die for. The food was the type of thing that truly shows how much you care about your guests. I used this catering company to cater a Caribbean conference I organized at UVA in 2009 and everything was divine. The roasted red pepper almond dip was to die for...seriously!! The breads were so amazingly tasty. The desserts were perfect (ginger brownies, cinnamon phyllo, citrus cream puffs). Everyone ranted and raved about everything from the presentation to the absolutely wonderful flavor, and they were all asking who did the catering. A Pimento gives attention to every single detail, and I would happily trust them to do any of my events. If I can have them come down to Richmond and do my wedding, I will do it in a heartbeat! Having A Pimento cater my conference was worth every single penny and so much more more. Many, many thanks to Gay and her team for an exceptionally well-done job. Your hard work was very much appreciated. The owner is friendly, very helpful, patient, and professional. Note: Super hard-to-find location. Drive slowly once you're on market street. It's in a very very small unit of a business building. There's a glass door and it's on the side that faces the road.

Well... now that we got that out of the way... this location was horrible. I showed up on Memorial Day after finishing a 6 hour hike at Old Rag. Believe me, I was hungry. The staff looked totally disinterested, maybe business was slow that day. I was the only customer in the building after all. I ordered a big Mediterranean with chicken on wheat. So the girl spread the hummus on the bread, added the chicken, and rolled it through the oven. She ran outside to greet someone she knew, I saw her hand out a cookie to a kid, which was nice. Sadly, my sandwich was sacrificed. The guy had no idea what he was doing. He asked if I wanted all the toppings, I told him no mayo, no mustard, everything else. Now I couldn't see it, but when he handed the bag to me within a minute, I thought that came back pretty fast. I paid my 13 bucks for the sandwich and drink and took a seat outside. As I unwrapped my lunch, my sense of concern was realized. He not only left off the hot peppers, he left off all the other Mediterranean sandwich toppings. No feta (which is supposed to go in the oven), no cucumber, no roasted peppers, no artichoke hearts. I decided not to ask for it to be remade, I didn't want an issue. So I asked for the Mediterranean toppings, a lady put cukes, peppers, and artichokes in a plastic cup. Still no feta or hot peppers. I decided to take what I could get. Oh and if you want more proof they don't pay attention to detail, the tomatoes on my sandwich were from the ends of the fruit. That's right, I had tomato stem in my sandwich. This staff needs training today. Not next weekend, they need it now. I'll go back to Potbelly again. But not this location. If they don't care, they're not getting any more of my money.
