She asked us how the food was and when we told her, she just handed us our bill and walked away. Other customers were complaining about the food and service also. If this continues, they won't be open for business much longer. We...

Usually i would have given them 4 stars, but we went for the Thanksgiving buffet, and what a let down it was! First, all the meat was cold, second, there was no fresh turkey carving station, they served pressed turkey. The meat at the carving station was ham and prime rib, coldddd. There was no place to put your plates once you were finished. The sides were also lame. no mac and cheese. sausage was cold too, eggs were gross. Fruit looked way out of season. Never go there for...
