Best Fried Chicken in Panama City or Panama City Beach -- truly!…read more This is THE fried chicken: perfectly seasoned, thickly breaded, explosively crisp! Absolute YUM. But then... the sides... Who serves fried chicken and doesn't offer chicken gravy for the mashed potatoes? I asked, and the reply was: "We have brown and white." Brown and White??? That's a fried‑chicken sin. And the sin deepened when the "mashed potatoes" turned out to be so watery they could practically be served in a cup. I mentioned it to the waitress, who explained, "We use a mix of instant and real potatoes." OH‑kaaay. My response: "Way too much water." Meanwhile, I'm wondering where the butter and cream went. For reference: I took a skinny straw and actually sucked the potatoes through it. That's how thin they were. The vegetables, however, were genuinely delicious -- classic Southern style and well prepared. A surprise hit: the fried hoecakes. Imagine Jiffy sweet corn muffin mix dropped by the scoop full into the fryer. Oddly enough, they were even better dipped into the "brown" gravy (which tasted suspiciously like modified yeast extract). Look, I understand stretching product and using convenience items. But if you're going to cut corners, do it on pre‑slicing the desserts -- not on the core of a Southern plate. My suggestion to the owners: Lean into what you do exceptionally well -- that phenomenal fried chicken. Sell it by the bucket! I'll come buy it! Trim the sprawling buffet, reinvest in real mashed potatoes with butter and cream, make real gravies, and offer a rotating blue‑plate menu. Do fewer things excellently instead of trying to be an "everything" restaurant and missing the mark on the basics. The chicken is worth the trip. The sides could be, too, with a little love.

This all-you-can-eat seafood spot has me contemplating going back again tonight. The crab legs were…read moresuper meaty, and the steaks were seasoned well. Everything I tasted from the buffet was good, but the standout for me was the sausage gumbo. I had to limit myself so I didn't get too full. The service was good, and the outside ambiance gave my wife all the feels. Very nice spot!

If I could do zero stars I would! Food was horrible! $60 for a crappy food buffet is crazy!read more

This was awful-- the food wasn't good, the crab legs were obviously not fresh as the shells were…read moreflimsy and bendable- that was weird. Everything was very bland. The price is OUTRAGEOUS for the quality of food you are getting. I tried many items at the buffet and didn't enjoy anything. I do not eat desserts but decided to try them since I didn't like any of the savory food items. The desserts were okay. I had the banana pudding, the gooey butter cake (why was it salty?) and something I can't even remember. I was disappointed with everything. It takes a LOT for me to rate a place 1 star, but this was honestly the worst meal I've had in the last two weeks since being here. I also was super irritated we paid $121 for two people. That was insane. The food quality was major thumbs down. The server was Daniel, he was on point. VERY sweet fella, and very attentive. I would definitely rate him 5 stars.

Visited tonight and was greeted by a clerk on her phone and speaking to whomever was on the phone…read more She took our order while answering someone on the phone and as soon as we received our receipt, turned her back to us and started talking on the phone again. Horrible selection of pizza and very low on the bar. What was left was specialty pizza no one was eating. No sausage, premium, etc. They did finally out out a pepperoni pizza. Desserts seemed like they had been there for some time. As I went through the buffet, the clerk and pizza maker were complaining about something in earshot of what little customers were there. Place was just about empty, and now I understand why. Horrible experience, definitely not on my list to return.

The service wasn't the best -- kind of felt like the staff had a bit of an attitude -- but the food…read moredefinitely made up for it. Everything was fresh and cooked well, from the pizzas to the cheese bread. The desserts were great too, especially the cinnamon rolls (seriously so good). The drink sizes were really small, especially for kids, but with free refills it balances out. The place itself is big and spacious, and they even have an arcade, which makes it extra fun for families. For a buffet, you really can't go wrong here -- the prices and deals are great, the food is solid, and overall it was a good experience that's definitely worth it money-wise
