Sparks Restaurant — Restaurant in Belmont

This is a casual southern food restaurant with walk up ordering and a buffet option. After you order or go through the buffet, you seat yourself . This was my first time eating there. My husband and I both had chicken tenders from the buffet. I can say they were probably the most hot, tender and juicy tenders we've had. That being said, I believe they didn't have enough flavor. I also had the broccoli casserole and baby lima beans. I enjoyed both. Then comes the roll....OMG....the best best I've had in a long time. It was served hot as bread should be and was melt in your mouth delicious!!! Then for dessert I had a yellow cake. This was good also. My husband had creamed corn, white beans and salad and said everything was great. Service was amazing as well. Obviously we both walked away with difficulty as we had eaten way too much!!! We would definitely return when we pass...

What about waiting in line to place order while the employee discussed her upcoming vacation with the customer at register? What about waiting 15 minutes for the biscuits to bake? What about two sausage patties dried up, cold, and inedible? I was willing to let all this slide. Truly. But when I ordered another biscuit to go (total bill now up to almost 10 dollars) and quietly told the employee at register about the sausage she presumed to tell me it had been prepared fresh and to order and that, if I wanted it "not so done," I should have specified. . . Well, I can't let it slide. I know flat, tasteless, dried up food when I see it. I know when I am being lectured by staff at the front register. What a disappointment. Two stars is generous. One for the self-serve coffee. One for...

Was there today and ordered 2 large salads. We were then give two side salad bowls. This was confusing because someone else in our party ordered the same thing and was given a dinner plate. You know what? Fine. Whatever. We will just get our money back. Wasn't even that mad...until we get back to the vehicle and realize our "money back" was $2 less than what we paid. The cashier was very sweet though. And she WAS NOT the same one that gave us our money back. I think she was new and she did great. I hope she finds a better place to work. 💔

Edit: They did offer larger plates after we got our money back and was waiting on the rest if our party to finish eating. We didn't take it because we didn't want to run...
