The list is very short but the casino popped up first. Being one who enjoys gambling I thought why not? It's on a boat but there are three levels and quite a few slot machines and a large area of a table games. The drinks were surprisingly cheap for being a casino and everyone was friendly. It was mainly an older crowd and you could tell they were all locals. The energy was a little lagging and the payouts pretty sad. Had 2 drinks tried my luck at some slots and called it a day. I give it three stars because it was nothing terrible, cheap drinks, and I've been to worse.

The pizza that was on the buffet around 4:45 pm on a Tuesday night was not good and lacked variety. We requested a thin crust ham and pineapple pizza with light cheese. The pizza took 30 mins to appear on the buffet. No one told us when the pizza was on the buffet. The ham and pineapple pizza did not have very many toppings and was just ok. The salad bar had iceberg shredded lettuce and wilted spinach. The cheddar cheese and French dressing were good. However, the lettuce quality is disappointing. The fried chicken was not cooked properly. The chicken was chewy. The chicken was overcooked. Unfortunately, we will not be coming back to the pizza ranch anytime soon.

Review Visit: February 14th, 2013…read more As I write this blog, I am eating some Cherry Garden! I was in Washington for a weekend and hungry so I decided to try Cherry Garden again; since I haven't had it since 2013. My previous visit was on Valentine's Day and I remember not being too excited with the food back then. I forget what I ordered but it was probably something like chicken fried rice or general tsao's, since those are my go-to orders. It was good but nothing great. I've talked to other people who live in the area and they love it, so it may just be a personal thing. But hey, things changed after 5 years, right? This time I ordered some ham fried rice since I got some at Golden Kitchen a few weeks ago and have been craving more since then. Did Cherry Garden scratch my itch? Kind of. The ham fried rice was pretty good but lacking that WOW factor. It's almost like they cook their food in a more... healthier fashion. With America's growing obesity issue, that could be a good thing! But I digress. The inside of Cherry Garden offers plenty of seating. The area where you order food to-go is separated from the seating area by some doors. So if you go to eat-in, you are secluded a bit from the traffic of people coming in and placing orders. With it attached to a strip mall area, there is plenty of parking, so that'll never be a concern. There is a website advertised on the menu but be warned when you visit it; my computer alerted me that it was a malicious website. Just think of one of those giant double-sided Chinese menus and that's exactly what this place offers. My fortune cookie was spot on though. It said, "Traveling at this time would be a good investment of time & money". Which is fantastic as I have traveled quite a bit lately and will be going to St. Louis soon to see a Cardinals game with my mom. So let's see what places I visit while down there! Eat cherry, be merry.

The sesame chicken had a good sauce and a few tender broccoli. The chicken was not edible. The chicken was actually just breading with no chicken. I think the restaurant should choose a different brand or supplier for the breaded chicken in this dish. The cashew chicken was actually pretty good. The sauce had a good flavor. The portion was a good size. The pork fried rice was good. The dish had a lot of veggies and tender pieces of chicken. We would come back for the cashew chicken. Also, the egg rolls that come with each combination plate are a standard good pork egg roll.
