    Empty Trays waiting to be refilled.

    I want to start by saying that this place used to be a great destination for a buffet experience. It was always busy, which was a good sign because the food and service were decent. The buffet offered a wide variety of dishes including steaks, chicken, various types of meat, butter shrimp, fresh salads, and desserts. Even though there was a line, it always moved quickly. The wait times were reasonable, the staff was attentive, and the place was clean and well maintained. Overall, it was an enjoyable and satisfying experience that kept me coming back. It is very sad to see what it has become nowadays. The long lines now takes forever. The steak at the grill is either completely gone or there is a ridiculously small amount that disappears immediately. The butter shrimp that used to be a highlight is no longer available. Much of the food now looks unappealing, poorly prepared. The steaks are much smaller than before, and many trays remain empty while people are left waiting. There is clearly frustration among guests who are trying to enjoy a meal but are faced with a lack of food options and slow service. On top of that, the cleanliness of the restrooms has noticeably declined, which reflects poorly on overall management and attention to detail. I hope that management can recognize these problems and take action to restore the quality and standards that made this place great in the first place. Until then, I would personally prefer to drive to another location that is well served, clean, and maintains the high standards that were once expected. It is disappointing to see such a decline because this used to be a place that I genuinely enjoyed visiting and recommending to others.

    My kids and I were on our way back from Plymouth on a Sunday. We decided to stop here and have lunch. The place was a good size. It was really busy but we were able to be seated promptly. The place reminded me of hometown buffet. There was a pretty good variety. I too busy wondering what next to try that I forgot to take pictures of everything I tried. The servers were all pleasant and attentive. They made sure to continuously pick up all the empty plates and bowls from every table. We actually would come back again. If in the area of course.

    I don't know why I've been avoiding this place, even avoided going to a birthday party here because I was scared of the American Food buffet. Had family from out of town visiting and one of them mentioned they had been wanting to try Golden Corral, since we couldn't figure out a place for everyone, off we went and I was even one of the drivers! We arrived early afternoon, and the place was pretty much deserted. We had our choice of seating and the buffet was loaded with hot fresh food. I was wondering why so much food was put out and then I didn't have to wonder much longer. By the time I got to my table with my plate of buffet eats the place was nearly half filled. Everyone was happy with their food, some favorites were the catfish, pot roast, mashed potatoes and brown gravy, bourbon chicken, chicken pot pie, dinner rolls, stuffing and the sirloin steak - which was cooked perfectly medium well. I asked for the smallest piece and he gave me about 3 ounces which I could barely finish. Our waiter was very nice, had a great sense of humor and kept our drinks refilled. If our experience had ended here, I would've given the place a four-star rating; however, we decided we were going to try to get dessert. At this point, the place was packed and there were lines and kids everywhere helping themselves. A line was now at the grill and a rude woman in line was very loudly cursing at the staff at the grill. Others in her party were equally loud with excessive foul language. I also noticed several tables where families had allowed their kids to make huge messes at the table and on the floor. The staff was actively trying to keep everything clean and picked up, but it was crazy! Place is great but avoid dinner time on a weekend!

    06/27/25- Went about an hour after they opened. The remodel looks great. Looks brighter and roomier. Food was fresh and everything we had was tasty. The only thing that wasn't was the strawberry sugar free cake. It was dried out. The breakfast they offered was scrambled eggs, chicken fried steak, French toast, pancakes, hash browns, biscuits, and sausage gravy during the week. Carved ham was available also. I don't recall ever seeing tamales before. It was a welcomed surprise and they were very good. I do wish that they have menudo again, but they have pozole. Drinks are self serve and before paying you can chose your drink with 2 sizes to chose from.. The larger size is a To Go cup.. Then after picking your table and eating, you can go get your own refills. There are 2 drink stations on each side but only 1 gas coffee. My favorite waitres, Lourdes, was there and its always a pleasure to see her.

    I had to jump on here today, because I visited Texas Roadhouse in Tracy, California yesterday!…read moreEverything was very much the same, and we know the same is great service., great laughs and a very attentive staff. I would like to highlight my waiter: Angel! He was great...! Smooth demeanor and did not miss a beat. It looks like spys are placed, as a second pair of eyes, so that all customers are not forgotten! Everyone is paying attention...! BAD BOY BILLY SLY

    Mother's Day dinner was a pure shit show with this place. We…read moreknew it'd be busy so we ordered "to go" from the app. First issue: the app does not take orders over $125. We're a big family so I ended up splitting it into 3 orders. Second issue: because I split the order, an item 3 members wanted kept going out of stock. The prime rib 16oz then the 14oz then the 12oz (only 2 of the 3 went thru on the order). Third issue: I went a few minutes just before the "scheduled" pickup time to pay the orders (app only took Apple Pay, giftcard, or pay at pickup). At this point I haven't gotten a call or text about my order. It's my turn up to the counter ("to go" pickup is outside) and ask about any possible available prime rib and she says they're out. I figure ok at least we got the 2 for the to-go order. I informed her that I have 3 to-go orders from the app. She goes to check on the orders and returns to inform me that they are COMPLETELY out of prime rib and had cancelled them from one of the orders. So basically 2 family members weren't getting dinner. ME being one of them. On mf MOTHER'S DAY! I kept my cool and proceeded to order dinner replacements. At this point we were 20min past the "scheduled" pickup time of 7:45pm and the orders still weren't ready. I asked the gal if I had ordered in the morning for pickup for dinner, would that have guaranteed the prime rib? She flat out said "Nope. We run out whenever we run out." Basically the app does not match up to their inventory and they don't hold anything for online/app orders. It's all first-come-first-served regardless of when you order. In other words the app is useless. Fourth issue: It seemed we had finally gotten the orders straight. All combined orders totaled over $300. I asked if I could get a discount since they cancelled part of my order without letting me know. They gave me my $12 appetizer free. I asked if I could get 10% off since the replacement dinners were more. About another $10 off. I thought whatever $22 off and still paid over $300 combined. Fifth issue: I asked how long for the order with the replacement steaks and she said should be quick about 20-30min. That seemed quick for how busy they were. So I waited. Not that I had a choice. 45 MINUTES LATER... Our food is finally ready and I'm still composed. I am at the counter and get the 3 huge bags. I start looking through them to try and make sure I have everything cause again it was multiple orders and I live 25-30min away. It was 9pm and so I'm trying to quickly go through the bags. Half the containers are soggy and cold. I think these might have been ready when I got there, but they're wanted me to wait until everything was ready. During the chaos the gal behind the counter asks me to move over cause they're backed up so she can help the next person. I tell her "I waited. They can wait." The lighting outside sucks. I can barely make out what's in each container. She again tells me to move to the side. I'm annoyed at this point and say "Ma'am I'll move when I'm ready." She calls over some shift mgr and tells her I won't move. That B of a mgr slams the window shut. At that point I was like F it. There's not enough room or light for me to check everything so I leave. Last issue: of course a bunch of sides are missing and some made incorrectly. By the time we tally up the damage the place was closed and no one is answering the phone. Cold, soggy food. Unhappy family. And a pissed off mom... on Mother's Day. I usually genuinely like Texas Roadhouse. Food is good. Service is ok, but yesterday they were crap through and through. Going today to get a refund of all the missing sides and extras that we never got.

I pride myself on being an equal opportunity French fry lover, but Juniors' fries are those supremely seasoned shoestring fries that have the thin, just barely battered, shatteringly crisp crust that gives them that addictive quality. Whether they're the regular fries or Cajun seasoned, they're outstanding. The 939 Club -- which can be two-bread or three-bread style, aka "classic" -- has the type of bread that somehow manages to be toasty, but not rip up the roof of my mouth. It was piled high with meat and fresh tomatoes and lettuce, so it definitely hit the spot. The Big O's chicken sandwich is basically the chicken pesto sandwich of my dreams. The sourdough roll it was served on had that sweet ratio of meat where the sandwich didn't fall apart as I ate it. The pesto was smooth, so I didn't feel like I needed to toothpick my teeth (or chew a bunch of mints from garlic breath.) It was a really well balanced sandwich. I'll definitely return. I can't wait to go back and try the burgers.

I began to throw up a few times, but I was able to overcome the sick feeling. My buddy on the other hand wasn't so lucky. He had a constant vomit state. He became extremely unwell/dehydrated and had to go to the hospital. They gave him some medicine and hooked him up to an IV. I recommend the place off of reviews and ended up embarrassed, sad really. The only reason I give 2 stars is cause the waitress was nice and had decent service.

Everything looks the same and the same friendly atmosphere resides. Service is always awesome, and so is the food. This time we both chose the fish and chips lunch which includes 3 good sized pieces of batter dipped fish, and perfectly crispy fries. It was all great. Prior visit - This is a great little place to be for a meal. Totally unassuming from the street and even when you walk up, as it is in a small strip business center off of 11th Street. When I walked in for lunch, I was immediately greeted by a guy behind the bar (which is right at the door) with a smile. I proceeded upstairs to the clean and comfortable 'loft' and grabbed a table along the window so I could see out. The interior is clean and simple, open first floor to second floor ceiling. Great music playing, and just a nice vibe all the way around. Andrea, came by with a smile and greeting, asked if I had any questions, and headed off with my order. I didn't get the bartender's name, but he was just as attentive and super nice, as he came upstairs to my table and described some of the beers he currently has available. Small batch craft beers are good. . . Food: The menu is not so 'typical' as you get to select your protein, the sauce or spice for that protein, then your carb, and your veggie (or make it a salad). Nice choices too. My chicken with Korean BBQ sauce, beer batter fries and grilled Brussels sprouts was good, especially the sprouts. My chicken was on the dry side, but I have a feeling it may have been due to the fact they were managing a party of 15 as well as all the other patrons while I was there. A bit hectic for two people to keep up that pace. I definitely recommend coming to the Upper Room.
