    Best buffet ever
    Rob B.

    The food is very fresh and delicious. 5 stars for great service and attentiveness. My only complaint is the atmosphere was ruined by a racist Karen yelling in the restaurant about not getting a military discount.

    a variety of food items in trays

    The atmosphere was nice but it was small. The food quality was ok but not much variety. On a scale from one to ten. I gave it a 5

The service is superb, warm and inviting what you would expect from a southern style restaurant and very clean. The hot bard was always clean and fully stocked. We didn't have to wait too long before we were seated and we got our drink orders. The fried chicken was excellent. Some more of my favorites was the fried okra, wieners and sauerkraut, meatballs (specially seasoned) boiled cabbage, pasta salad, corn bread, banana pudding ( the best I have had in a long time} peach cobbler mmmmmm and they kept the cobbler and fresh cookies on a hot plate to keep them warm. What restaurant does that besides this one!? By the way the salad bar was well kept also. If those attention to details wasn't enough for you, the price includes your drink, and the coffee was so good I had 5 cups!

I'm reminded of an older homey diner, plenty of seating, plenty of staff assisting. Pre-pay, get seated, order you drinks and choose from so many southern dishes. The presentation was that of a cafeteria mixed with mix n match buffet equipment, I think this played part on how I choose my food. They home style choices were numerous so definitely something for everyone. What I did love about this restaurant, it was definitely serving the local community and based on the number of larger, multi generational families seen together it was truly heart warming. I think this environment is much better than a stuffy environment and great to see a community supportive of the locals. Close to Hwy 27 so in the mood for a large meal or just some home style cooking give it a try. Finally don't forget to pick up some local honey or goods.

    Chaos Mongolian Grill -- Where You're the Chef of Your Own Feast…read more If you love food that's as unique as you are, Chaos Mongolian Grill in Chattanooga is your playground. Here, you don't just order a meal -- you build it. Start by picking your protein from a lineup that covers all the cravings: tender chicken, juicy steak, fresh fish, plump shrimp, and more. Next, hit the seasoning station like a pro -- dried chopped onions, garlic powder, garlic salt, and plenty of other flavor-boosters are ready to make your creation sing. Then, pile on crisp veggies, crack in some eggs, and drench it all in your choice of sauces. For the base, I'm a noodle loyalist (they soak up every drop of flavor), but rice, cabbage, and other options are on deck. Once your masterpiece is stacked sky-high, the cooks work their magic on the sizzling grill and bring it to your table hot and fresh. It's not all-you-can-eat, but the "stack it as high as you can" rule means you'll still leave full and happy. The staff is warm and welcoming, and the grill team keeps things moving so you're not staring at your empty plate for long. Yes, the building shows its age, but honestly, the flavors are so bold and the experience so fun, you'll barely notice. If you're ready to unleash your inner chef and eat exactly what you're craving, this spot delivers big.

    Certainly an unusual place for a restaurant but handy for local business in the area. If you care…read moreat all about our environment this is NOT the place to eat. Everything is throw away. EVERYTHING styrofoam and plastic. Sad to say we were very disappointed. Only options are the food bar. Nothing Greek nor Italian on the bar other than some seasonings added to the food. The food is NOT prepared there, it's brought in turkey sized aluminum pans and then put into the pans in the hot bar. Again, there are styrofoam plates and bowls, no tray to carry your plate on. Plastic forks, spoons, knives. The drinks are expensive, $2.50 each. The fried chicken was good but the salisbury steak is mystery meat, formed patties purchased frozen and gravy covered to mask the 'meat'. There is so much SALT on the greens we couldn't eat them. The mash potatoes were cold and so loaded with seasonings that it overwhelmed any potato taste. The sweet potatoes were cold, creamed and not bad but we like hot food hot. There was a dish with gravy, chicken and a topping of salty crumbled topping that left us wondering what they intended it to be. The green beans were okay but again way too much salt. The prepackaged rolls were okay for prepacked rolls. The salad bar. The lettuce was so wet it was disgusting. It is prepacked and just dumped onto the other lettuce. The other items were the things you expect on a salad bar, cheese, olives, pickled okra etc. All salad bar ingredients were good except the lettuce. We won't return unless there are many better reviews after our visit on March 5th. I do not know how long this 'restaurant' has been open. It is not anything like the Portofino's in East Ridge that we absolutely do enjoy. It was a disappointment eating at the 'homestyle' restaurant.

Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. The restaurant itself felt run-down and dated, but honestly that wouldn't have mattered if the food had been great -- it wasn't. The salad bar was below average and poorly maintained, with several items needing to be restocked. We were there for about an hour, and during that entire time there was never fresh cheese bread or bananas -- just two old pieces that looked like they had been sitting out long before we arrived. We asked multiple times for fresh ones, but nothing ever came. The meat was just okay, the shrimp was not edible, and overall the food lacked the quality I expected. The pineapple was one of the few highlights. The manager asked how things were, and when we gave honest feedback, she seemed surprised but didn't really make any effort to address the issues or improve the experience. Even her overall presentation felt reflective of the restaurant itself -- unkempt and lacking attention to detail. The entire visit felt like a place operating without much pride or urgency, which is unfortunate because the brand has strong potential based on how good it once was. I rarely leave reviews -- in fact, I literally downloaded this app again after years just to share how disappointed I was. This location is hurting the brand. I genuinely hope things improve, because right now it feels like it probably won't make it much longer. Update... I have to update this review due the fact that all 3 of my family members who ate here including me got horrible food poisoning here. Extreme vomiting and also the other end. What a nightmare!!! The only one who dodged a bullet was my mom who decided she rather have a poke bowl at the pace down the street. I will be contacting corporate!
