    The food was cold and tasteless, and after eating it, my stomach started to hurt, which was really disappointing. Don't bother with dessert because it's terrible, and the chicken wings and fried items tasted like they had been left out for a while; it was unpleasant. The customer service wasn't great, but the sweet lady at the front was the highlight. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On the positive side, the buffet had a warm and cozy atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Bad food

    DO NOT COME HERE! JUST DO NOT COME HERE PLEASE. Ate half a plate of very old and stale food. Came in at 6:45pm on Sunday of NYE and paid $45 for 3 people (1 kid). It was so very bad to the point the sweet and sour sauce wasn't even edible. Please do not waste your time or money here. HOPE YOU READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE YOU GO! You're welcome. UPDATE: Because I went up to the front to pay within 10 minutes of being there, they came to my table to give me a full refund. They knew we didn't eat anything and took full responsibility.

    My two Togo plate and cup of soup ! My daughters demolished theirs in the car

    They simply just aren't the same since having to make changes after and due to the pandemic. It's a hit or miss thing with them now days . Some days you'll get some really good food , and then there's other days where you regret eating there. Theres A few things that they use to offer (one example being the steamed crab legs) that they are no longer offer, their fried salt and pepper shrimp are soooo much smaller these days. Lack of items or quality but they increased the admission. Currently this restaurant is still serving everything on Togo/paper plates. Which I'm sure that helps with disposing food . They usually have really really good fried soft shell crabs , only this time I'm assuming they were spoiled because they had a strong ammonia smell and taste to them. We decided on getting an all you can eat Togo order , where basically you stuff your plate/s up with all the food you want and then they weigh it to determine your price . We left with 4 large plates Togo and a small cup of of egg drop soup , which came to a total of $56. Again, it's really a hit or miss type of place . It's really hard to give a fair review because I've been a regular at this establishment for over 11 years now , but again the food and even the service isn't the same any more . Some days the food is really good and other days the food is as though it's food from the previous day and its just been reheated .

    The atmosphere of the place is amazing. The servers there are so helpful and their service is impeccable. They place a big importance on quality. The noodles and rice are to die for, well cooked and seasoned. I can't stop coming here. And I enjoy the singing and crooning of Mr. Louis hahaha. Their take-out keeps me coming back for more!

    On the way back to DFW from College Station we stopped at Sam's on Sunday, 3/8. I was so glad we…read moredid!! This place has an absolutely amazing lunch buffet! The salad stuff was fresh and the dressings were all good. On the hot side of the buffet they had chicken friend steak, ham, turkey and dressings, bbq brisket and friend chicken. Everything was excellent! The sides were all great. I imagine their homemade pies are amazing but I was too full to try any of them! I will 100% be back anytime I am nearby!!!

    My dad has been coming here for years, I believe this was my first time…read more My dad went for the buffet, and I ordered a la carte. First, the service was excellent, I believe our server was named Presley. Very kind, always checking on us and keeping our water and tea full. On the buffet, my dad enjoyed the salad he had, but was surprised at the little variety offered that day. He said last time he was there with my brother there was more to choose from. He then got the fried chicken, which was greasy and barely any chicken on the thigh. I tried to find a drumstick but it was just breasts, thighs and a few wings. He did like the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. As for the fried okra, you have to eat it fresh. It is sitting under a heat lamp just makes it soggy and slimy. I ordered 4 vegetables a la carte which came out to be as much as the all you can eat buffet. First, their onion rings are OUTSTANDING! So is their homemade ranch. What was disappointing was the green beans, they definitely came out of a can and were heated. At $3.99 I expected fresh. There may have been a small piece of onion in it. Not sure if that was how it was cooked or if it fell in from another dish. The black-eyed peas were tasty. I also had a cup of the chicken corn chowder which was good. However, there was pieces of cubed chicken in it which also made me think that it was a prepackaged soup and not homemade. My dad got the coconut cream pie, which tasted good, but could have used more coconut then just on the top. He wanted bread pudding or peach cobbler, however at the time of day we were there, they had been picked over way too much, not leaving much for anyone else to enjoy. I did like the selections in the gift shop and purchased a tea towel before we left. I always like to try a place 3 times so I may stop in and try something else. Again, great customer service.

So we were able to get one nice full plate of breakfast and then lunch was served at 11I believe and we also got to try the lunch buffet as well. I love that they have a lot of vegetable options because I am a pescatarian and don't eat meat besides fish. Regardless, if you have breakfast, lunch or both they charge the same amount, 15 dollars. They are open from 7am until 2pm. They only do the buffet on the weeknd. But if you order from the menu, the serving sizes are also very large, they are also open on the holidays. So if you don't want to cook, this would be a great place to check out, especially if you have family in town as they have a lot of tables that seat large parties.
