So delicious! There is a big jump in price from lunch to dinner.. the switch happens around 3pm.. I wish it was closer to 5pm to get the lunch price vs the dinner price. With that said, the food was very hot, fresh, and the buffet was completely full with a variety of options! They had great crab ragoons, all the traditional Chinese soups, and one of my personal favorites is Coconut shrimp (snow white shrimp) They had a lot of seafood too.. prong, crawfish, lobster, ect I do wish they had a few more chicken options.. such as orange chicken, Kung po chicken, and perhaps coconut chicken (snow white chicken) Also, they did have sushi.. but I didn't see any deep fried sushi. I wish that they had more cooked sushi and deep fried sushi. The service was average, and the atmosphere was average. The played traditional Chinese music.. I plan to be back-but definitely going to try to come during the lunch time to get a more affordable price.

For lunch they will charge 7.50 per lb  if you include an egg roll, dumpling, etc. Very misleading.

This used to be our go to Chinese takeout joint. I took my children tonight for takeout and what used to cost us about $26 is now $57! If you want your money's worth, go elsewhere. The food is really greasy now. I always loved their green beans but now they have no flavor. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful after a recent remodel but the customers are paying the price with high costs and low quality food.

Delicious roast beef and other specialty cuisine served on Sunday..... #YUM

Royal Buffet has renovated their fabulous restaurant, under new management. This Chinese Buffet is the BEST, serving the most delicious Chinese cuisine, included is an awesome Hibachi grill, sushi bar, nice selection of seafood, beef, chicken and vegetable dishes; great dessert bar with variety of fresh fruit including several delicious hot soups. As we all know, half of the pleasure of dining out is hospitality and Royal Buffet is not lacking in this department! #SatisfiedCustomer

Rice, egg rolls, sweet n sour chicken, and noodles.

This place was okay but surroundings were kind of dirty. The food was nothing special and very commercial tasting.

SHAME ON YOU A Plus Crab Owners & Management!! I can't believe what I just witnessed... So last…read morenight my husband & I were dining in at the restaurant. When we 1st arrived the server (we had many times in the past) politely greeted us & asked about are day. We could immediately see that she was upset & on the verge of crying. We told her we weren't in any rush & if she needed some time for herself we would be ok with waiting while she took the time to get herself composed and she could get back to us afterwards. She immediately started to cry & thanked us before heading to the bathroom. After a few minutes she came back to the table. We asked her if everything was ok. She explained, the family that just left (before we entered) left without paying their bill. This family had gotten FOUR King Crab Meals, each costing $109. The total bill being over $400. The sever went her management about this issue & they informed her this was her fault, she would responsible to unpaid bill & it wouldbe coming out of her next pay check. Another table directly beside us also witnessed this and these kind people gave the server alittle money to help cover the cost of the unpaid bill. But ultimately this server was left paid this bill costing her over $300. Management treated this poor girl so horribly, they held her responsible for such a high bill & then told her to stop "crying about it"! This was absolutely disgusting!! Why is the lowest paid person responsible for this?? I felt so bad for her!! I know it would take every bit of her tips for the day, plus some of her pay check to cover this unpaid bill. Until today, A Plus Crab was one of our favorite places to eat. The servers are always so pleasant & the food is fantastic. But after this experience we are now rethinking EVER going back to this establishment and Ill be sharing this experience with anyone I can, as an example of how NOT to treat your employees & people in general. I CAN NOT support any company knowing this is the treatment of their employees. I dont know how she didnt just walk out & never look back. But Im sure just like most people, she has bills to pay, a family to support & cant afford to be without a employment. Also, Im sure she probably cant afford to pay the customers unpaid tab either. As much money as this company makes & your telling me that they put this responsibility onto their lowest paid workers. THATS TOTAL BULLCRAP!! A Plus Crab, you really need to rethink your rules, policies & MOST of ALL the TREATMENT of YOUR EMPLOYEES!! This is shameful!! At a minimum YOU owe this poor girl an apology & maybe a raise for the CRAP treatment she endures while working for your company! DO BETTER!!!

We arrived and were seated seated promptly. Our server got drink orders and then disappeared for…read moreprobably 10-15 mins (this happened several times) she got our appetizer order of hush puppies and then came back about 5 mins later to get our food order. About 20 mins later our boil bags came out... no hush puppies had been seen. I had to ask for them when she asked if anything was missing. I had also ordered egg in my bag and when she finally came back I mentioned it and she brought them in a bowl about 15 mins later. Order was not accurate. Glasses left empty half the meal and server can hardly be found. Flavor and temperature of food is good but that is about all. Unsure if Emily was having a rough night or if that's just the service she gives. Hardly any music during the meal but at the very end they turned the music to max volume for a happy birthday party song.

I gave Amelia's 5 stars…read more 1 star is it should be shut down 2 stars you might get food poisoning 3 stars you might like it but I won't be back 4 stars I liked it and I will be back 5 stars it is worth a drive to eat here. Amelia's is in the basement and has an old world vibe with eclectic booths, lighting and book shelves. I didn't get pictures this time but will when I go back. The food is excellent with true chefs cooking. I did the elk special with scallops. Cooked to perfection. My wife had the pierogis with beef. The pierogis were hand made and so good. She loved the horseradish sauce. The bartenders, Miles and Chloe, are excellent at what they do. My wife asked Chloe to "be creative" and make her an adult beverage - she made her version of a New York sour. Well let's just say we will be just so my wife can get another one. I highly recommend Amelia's.

A great restaurant in the basement of the building. Butchers on the top and Amelia's in the bottom…read more Reservations for 4. Nice wine selection. We chose the Cab and a couple of Sangiovese blends. Great service. Fri d cauliflower and a warm cheese dip for appetizers (Feta I believe). Halibut, Filet, Chicken Wellington, and a Sad with Chicken. Delicious. Rounded out with some cheesecake and chocolate brownie with whipped cream. Good night, great food.

Have been…read morethere before and always enjoyed the food, this time I neglected to have the wedge blue cheese salad they each had. Big mistake on my part. It was picture perfect and I am still missing it. Our server was attentive and kind, the food as always delicious. Overall a huge success, Thank you Darby's. I will be back. wish you would change the front steps, I'm handicapped.

Met a friend here. Her suggestion to come here for dinner. This was hard to score. A lot of good…read morebut a few bad. It was crowded on a Tuesday. They have a taco Tuesday thing but it's not a discount it's 3 tacos and you can mix and match from what they make. Which is not really a special in my opinion. The place has a nice patio and inside can fit an about 10 tables of various sizes. And the bar has seating. Cute place. I see it can get crowded on a Friday night or Saturday night. We got the green bean app for the table. They are cooked perfectly with teriyaki glaze and some tempura but not a lot. They have a sauce that has a bit of a kick but not bad. These are good and good to share. Good portion. I ordered the steak and gruyere sandwich and chips. Sandwich was good. Not big but very flavorful and good. Would have liked a bigger banquette for the sandwich. Ok amount of meat. It was good. The chip side was very crunch and good amount. But to me the chips were a bit greasy tasting. Needed more salt and a bit of flavor. It was a ok meal. The friend that suggested the restaurant got the Ohio burger. It was huge. She cut it into 4's and only ate half. It was big! She also got the chips. Again chips were ok just a bit oily tasting and need salt. The dining area is loud. Lots of people in close proximity talking. It's hard to hear and sound is bouncing. That was a bit of a bummer to try and talk over all the noise. Server was good very attentive and helped with suggestions. Bill for 3 sandwiches, including a burger, a water, coke and cider with green beans appetizer was $81. Not including tip.

Love the wood floors and high ceilings. The panels really helped keep noise down when it became full.
