I decided to stop being a Karen and give this place another try. I judged them last time on not…read morebeing able to get in, due to not having a drivers license. Honestly, I understand why it's set up like that. I just do not like it. But decided, I needed to go back to give it a fair shake.
So, My BF and I returned, he kept talking about how awesome it was, but I have not been yet. We ventured out again, drivers licenses in hand this time, ready to eat a lot of food.
The prime rib was the hands down winner, and is what makes this buffet worth the new price. Especially, since it's all you can eat. If you are going to eat prime rib, this is the place to do it. It was cooked perfectly. Better than any fancy steak house. Probably because it's the center piece of the entire buffet.
Our waitress was just so polite, funny, and nice. She was very attentive, on point, and accommodating. My BF likes a glass of milk after his meal, but before he takes his last bite. Something, that is not easy to time when dining out. When he told her that, it was a a joke, he never expects it to work out. But this woman delivered. Very impressive. I tipped her 16.00 on a 62.00 tab, because the Buffett seemed much slower than usual, and I thought she could use some kindness back.
It was not very busy, as a result we had a private table, away from others. We both have cancer, and with it being flu season, we agreed to only go if they were not busy. Bingo! Today was the day.
I cannot eat enough to make it worth it for my price point. Which I knew going in, but I really wanted to go for my BF. He was super excited about it. Enjoyed it very much and ate 3 huge helping of prime rib. So it's worth it for me to go with him. Plus it makes him so happy.
Me personally, I'm a bit of a food snob, there was not much I did like, but what I did like, I really liked. There really isn't anything on the Buffett that I cannot make better myself.
They had Lots of prepared foods. Scrambled eggs out of a box, sausage that is something like brown and serve, tasteless sausage gravy. Paper thin bacon.
It would probably be faster if I tell you what I enjoyed, besides the prime rib, because that was surprisingly superb. I liked the Korean wings, coffee, pumpkin pancakes, the mini Belgian waffles, which I think is a great idea. Who is going to eat an entire waffle at a buffet? The regular fried chicken was good. Salad and fixings were fantastic.
No to the rest of it. The deserts are just like Costco deserts. Same with the appetizers, like the egg rolls, dumplings, French fries were under lights getting cold and not moving.
I will only go for my BF, and he only asks Once or twice a year, so I'm fine with it. If you go, go for the prime rib, and the sides like mashed potatoes, gravy, a nice salad, and look at the rest as bonus food. You can't go wrong that way.
