In the words of my 2 year old, “yuckie”. I can’t speak for the quality of food during peak season, but I can say we just went on October 21st 2024. First off the server didn’t bother to get our silverware. I had to hunt down an employee to get some for me. The server was more interested in talking about giving her a tip if she did well, rather than actually doing well. She sat a different group of guests at the table in front of us and when they requested a different seat the server made a face behind their backs because it inconvenienced her.

The manager and cooks all need to taste the piles of worthless garbage they put out for people to eat. One of the dishes was “Fried Rice”. Somehow they made it taste like straight onion. I have had better fried rice from a Panda Express than this place. The croissant roll was exceptionally dry with no butter or glaze. The regular rolls were slightly burnt. Every single cookie was burnt, every muffin had a burnt texture. It was so bad my kids didn’t eat a single item from the Hot section of the buffet. I only ate 2 small pieces of stale pizza before telling the server we were leaving. We paid $51 for two adults and two children as the youngest 2 ate for free due to their age. The food was so incredibly bad that none of my kids would eat. One of the youngest kids just looked at his plate after taking a bite of Mac ‘n Cheese and simply stated “yuckie”. He tried a bite of each thing on his plate and push it all back and said “yuckie”. All of other kids and my wife agreed.

I asked to speak to the manager who informed me that she could only “discount the kids meals”. This discount took the bill from $51 to $45. In the end I paid $45 for food my family could not eat, for service that is well below par, and I still had to pay more money for us to eat some where else. So after I settled the $45 bill we packed up and ate at Mel’s Hard Luck Diner.

My recommendation to improve this place, have the manager and cooks taste the food they produce, fire the waiting staff and get a better quality staff that is more focused on the customer experience than requesting tips. Finally fire the manager who forces guests to pay for incorrectly prepared burnt garbage.

My recommendation for anyone thinking to eat here, skip over it and go down the street to Mel’s. The food tastes better, they will entertain you, and they treat you great even if it is in the slow season.
