The salad was fresh and generously portioned but you're basically paying $14 for a bowl of fresh romaine lettuce and one wafer. The sushi and rolls guests were enjoying around me looked fresh, but I wouldn't have wanted to pay $20+ for each. That said, prices in the area generally seem higher than Id expect for the menu items so might be location- specific.

Buffets kill me because if they're good I just wish I could bring a spare stomach. We started with a variety of fresh sushi, seconds from the other side, egg roll, shrimp in at least 5 or 6 treatments, green beans, chicken, pepper steak, etc. Finished off with various fresh and canned fruit slices including lychees, puddings, cakes. Just the thing to top off the main courses. I give it 4.5 stars due to the lackluster decor. But the wait staff is friendly and not pushy. No silly masks either. People are smiling again. Hooray!!! I forgot to take photos I was so hungry that all I could think about was biting in. Prices are reasonable because you can eat yourself to death here. Totally worth it compared to a lot of what's out there these days.

I always try to explain my review having more stars than perhaps it would in reality, if that makes…read moresense. This is a Chinese buffet. It is an all you can eat buffet. For people who have not had actual primo, well prepared Asian cuisine, I've never seen anyone not enjoy and tell me that they absolutely loved every single dish. This is what it is. It's only $14 for lunch, and if you went to one of the commercial burger places, you would expect that amount on just a regular basket with fries, drink and a burger. Here people get to eat as much as they want. Having explained this, I hope that you understand why I give the stars that I do for this place. It's because they were clean and there was nothing wrong with any of the dishes that I saw or tried . I particularly only like a few. I might like more if the food was hotter temperature wise. I have been to Asian buffets, particularly in Cheboygan and their food was a lot hotter, even though it's in the hot water baths or however, they're heating it. I prefer to have my food served hotter for many reasons. It is more tasty, it kills bacteria and any food problems like that. I'm sure that if they have these heated too high, it also breaks down the vegetables quickly. But I feel that this is a necessary requirement with the buffet food especially. I do love the hibachi style being available. You can add whatever you want, and the hibachi chef will fry it and add whatever sauces you'd like so that's my favorite. That's the main reason I go here, but the reason my sister always insist on returning Here is because "she likes to pig out". I see that many people do. That's what these buffets are. I think in the past like in the 70s they actually used to even put smorgasbord on the sign now everyone knew what that meant. I find that the servers are nice and it's always a very friendly ambience here so that along with the cleanliness and the fact that people look extremely happy that they "got to pig out" I give this place a four.. and really why would I come and eat again and again at a place that I didn't feel was a safe safe or sufficient lunch? I would not.

The vegan options here are fantastic. I love that I can choose the Thai chili tofu as my protein, and it's actually good tofu -- firm, crispy, and flavorful instead of the usual mushy version you find elsewhere. The customization is another huge plus. You can load your tacos with far more than the standard lettuce and tomato, choosing from a variety of slaws, salsas, sauces, and toppings. My personal favorite combination is the Dirty Sauce (definitely spicy, so be warned!) with lettuce, poblanos, onions, and the corn mix. The tacos are generously sized, so 2-3 will leave you completely satisfied, and the pricing is very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. This is also a perfect place for larger groups or families. We have friends who love bringing their kids because everyone can fill out their own order form and customize exactly what they want. I have to recommend the salsa roja and chips as an app. It's easily one of my favorite salsas. It has the perfect consistency with just the right balance of spice and sweetness. We love coming here and highly recommend giving it a try. You won't be disappointed!

Season's Buffet is one of 3 food options in the Turtle Creek casino. The cost of the buffet is…read more$19.99 on Thursdays and Saturdays. You can add crab legs for $19.99/lb. Saturday's buffet menu is advertised as American BBQ. Friday's menu features crab legs and prime rib and costs $49.99. We went on a Thursday, and the menu was advertised as "international cuisine from Asia, Italy, and South America ". The actual food selection was general tso's chicken, orange chicken, egg rolls, crab Rangoon, Korean tofu and vegetables, chicken tikka Marsala, beef tamales, build your own tacos and nachos, a salad bar, a made to order pasta station, and desserts. The food ranged from mediocre to terrible, with the best choices being the pasta station, the salad bar, and the banana pudding. Our server did a good job of taking away dishes and keeping drinks filled. I honestly couldn't recommend the Thursday buffet. Maybe Friday and Saturday nights are better?

The food is the worst part. There was a mix of Asian and Mexican. Make your own tacos and nachos is…read morea good idea. There was an option for crab legs ($20 extra) and you could tell some cooks to make a bowl of pasta. What made this bad was quality and quantity. If there had been more options or better quality, it would've been nice. Cakes were hard on the outside, pie was just canned pie filling with a premade crust cracker, Mexican foods were dry and rank below store bought premade. Service was good- for the single waitress working at dinner time. She was stressed and struggling. Ambiance was fine. It was clean and looked like it was a better quality place than it was. Overall, it's probably a fine place to eat if you're drunk and having fun, but don't go out of your way to eat here.

I ordered several meals for pick up to take on a weekend getaway with friends. Two of the orders…read morewere the Tofu combo which included "Fried Rice" - the on-line menu only said "Fried Rice", it does NOT mention that it is "Chicken" Fried Rice. Much to my great disappointment, and embarrassment, the "Fried Rice" wasn't just "Fried Rice" - it was "Chicken" Fried Rice!!! My two Vegan friends could not eat the Chicken Fried Rice so only had the small amount of tofu for their meal. I would think you would realize that if someone is ordering tofu, rather than one of the many other protein (meat) options, that you would know NOT to give them "Chicken" Fried Rice! I tried to share this info with them on their Contact Us form, but the multiple times I tried to 'Send Message' - "Something went wrong" and it wouldn't send. So I'm at least putting it here so others can beware.

Ambiance. Overlooking the golf course and the bay, the view at sunset was majestic. Combined with how elegant the interior setting was, total A+. 3. Drinks. Good cocktails and a fantastic Gin and Tonic ( not pictured here-it was so good I just bypassed the pics asap lol). 4. Caesar Salad: very crisp and fresh romaine with fantastic anchovies and these cheese crisps that were so very tasty. 5. Duck. Perfect taste, texture, with a tomato jus and a purée of parsnip underneath that was fantastic. 6. Sweet potato beignets. Oh...my...God! This is an appetizer but could/should be a dessert. So sweet and served with bacon jam. Amazing! 7. Pear and salted caramel layer cake. Wow! My wife and I highly enjoyed this. It's a pear compote with a spiced cake in the middle.

Food quality was so disappointing. The only great thing about Aerie was the view…read more My $75 "8oz" filet was definitely 6oz. It was so tiny it came overcooked... twice. I sent it back the first time, the waitress never offered anything while I waited for my second steak... so my whole family was able to finish their meal before I got mine. No extra bread.. no soup... no salad... just hungry. Had to eat all my sides without my steak. Honestly I should've asked for the quality of the steak. Definitely was something under Prime cut. $12 kids butter parm noodle... came in a tiny soup bowl. Barely enough Parmesan to even see. So tasteless. Are you serious? At least salt the water. This was probably the worst of it. I got bamboozdled on a pasta dish I could've easily made at home for $1. Sides- The shiitake mushrooms were an absolute disgrace. They were literally so tasteless and dry! Roasted with no herbs, seasoning or allium. Potato Pavé was good. We ordered 2. It's definitely not a "shareable" size side. Come for the cocktails and view. Not for the food.
