My husband started with the breakfast section which was not terrible & I started with the salad. i was missing a couple of my favorites, especially my thousand island dressing. Luckily I like ranch the only option. The dinner section was very limited although the chicken was very good. Happy we stopped but not in a hurry to run back.

As for the food, the Pepperoni Pizza was excellent and the salad bar was a nice addition. Unfortunately, the Buffalo Chicken Wing Pizza was quite dry, which was a letdown for others in our party. Overall, a decent spot for a quick Friday meal.

The pizza we ordered was thin crust and it came to the table greasy as all grease. It didn't smell like pizza nor taste like it either. The manager said it looked as usual to him, said the cheese was making the pizza greasy, what? The salad bar was still good so that is all we ended up eating and leaving. Was comped the pizza and asked if we wanted to take it home- not sure why we would want to take it home to only toss in the trash. Never seen this manager before, again the ingredients changed on this place, I'm sure due to the cost of everything today they may be seeking lesser valued items and it sure tastes like it. We'll be looking for another pizza place to visit out of this town because there are no other good pizza joints.

They should tell you the wings are seasoned with cayenne pepper . Not real happy with them.

Both dishes were finished with the same champagne cream sauce, and it complemented each one perfectly rich, flavorful, and well balanced. To top it all off, I enjoyed a few lemon drop martinis, and they were quite yummy. Overall, a fantastic meal with great service in an elegant, welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

My review is more like 3 1/2 stars but closer to 4 than 3 on our visit this past Monday. The chief…read morenegatives to me were (1) that a few of the food trays were more warm than hot when food was transfered to the plate (2) seeing some unhappy employee faces and (3) the ice cream machine was not in service. However, drink refills were fairly timely and most of the food was very good, though my lady said the mac and cheese was subpar. The baked fish was rather dry. The cheesy broccoli soup was decent, though all the broccoli in the soup were "crumbs". Some of the truly excellent offerings were the fried shrimp, bourbon chicken, beef stew and what looked like burnt pork, though I had to scrape out what little remained. The riblets were fine and tender but missing BBQ sauce. Salad bar was good and plenteous. Loved the ICEE machine, mixing the cherry flavor with cherry limeade. The blueberry pie was OK but what really off the charts was their strawberry/cherry (was not identified which) cake. It was not something I would expect a buffet to serve. The presentation was so-so but the taste was gangster, something you might find in an upscale eatery. Highlight dessert. Upon check in to pay, the cashier told our party of 3 that they were out of several items and for that reason took 10% off the bill, a very nice gesture which kicked my 3 star rating to 4. Three of the items said to be unavailable were the mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and meatloaf. However, the mac and cheese was available about halfway thru dinner as were the mashed potatoes. The potatoes were fine but as noted in the first paragraph, not so much the mac and cheese. The $16 charge for me and my lady (we're "young seniors") was fair. There's obvious need for improvement at this location but the one star review from last month is baffling. Although I had none of the fried chicken, it looked fine to me and my lady said it was good so I am a bit skeptical of Chris's lengthy negative review, though I concede it's possible. It was a bit of a drive to come here from Michigan City where my family is but the sizable amount of food available was still a blessing, despite a few lackluster offerings. I may return but I may also consider the Merrillville or Mishawaka locations for a classier experience. Still overall not bad here but admittedly it does need some oomph.
