Harvest 365 Restaurant & Fresh Grill — Restaurant in Proviso Township

If I could give this place 0 stars on their food, I WOULD! This is the worst buffet I've been to, food wise. If they would focus on putting their costs into making the food better and not making the place look nice (it does appear nice, makes you think you're gonna get good food, right? Absolutely not.) A family member and I have been wanting to go to this place for months, due to the reviews and most people enjoying it! We finally went yesterday and what a big waste of $20 per person! Not a single food item there was good, and I tried a little bit of everything. Not to mention at 5:05pm they were already putting the food away (they close at 6pm), people were walking in to eat still too! I'm not a picky eater in anyway, but the food was horrible. I was expecting something at least good, but I left after 15-20 mins still hungry. Went shopping for dinner, it was like I didn't eat and I attended a BUFFET! That's just bad to me. I don't know how this place has so many good reviews, seriously. Rice was hard, the raved about peach cobbler tasted bad, collard greens were horrible, the mac n' cheese was tasteless and gritty, guacamole was brown, the potato wedges were bad, both beans were bad, chicken fajitas sucked, I'm just naming a few things I tried! I can usually leave a bad buffet saying at least one thing was good to make up for the bad experience, but this trip everything was just bad. Obviously, I won't ever be coming back, but I thought people deserved an honest review at least since the others are...

Update: main courses are VERY salty. You can't eat much of it without being overly salt-logged. I wonder what this does to a lot of the senior patrons' 🤔 blood pressure....

Maybe I have to try it when it first opens at 11am, because when I went, the food was kind of dried out and some were kind of cold/salty. The food tastes ok, but for the most part, there is a lot of oil and some main dishes were on the salty side (collard greens were very salty) so you can't eat a whole lot. To me, it was like food that they give you on airliners... nice extensive salad bar. Very professional and nice staff. New clean dishes are hard to find. You only get 2 new ones on your table; I had to grab more dishes from other empty tables.

Usual there is a spot on the receipt where your can tip the waiter, but there was no option for that, and I stopped carrying cash years ago, so I could not leave a tip. It would be helpful if there was a space to write in the tip amount on the receipt.

Chemically sensitive people: 🥺 there are air fresheners used here; definitely in the bathrooms 🚻 🙄 and in the main dining area there is some internal itchiness/achy-painful- itchiness, presumably from in-washer scent beads using staff or other patrons (in which case the restaurant cannot control). The breakdown = Itchiness: Gain detergent, Tide yellow v.o.c.'s , Aches: Arm & Hammer yellow v.o.c.'s in the air, chemically sensitive ppl will know what this means,...

I saw this buffet on social media I thought it was a good idea to support my culture but I was mistaken the lady I guess that was running the place was very rude first off I was walking around the food area to see if get I wanted to try first I noticed there were employee lunch setup and I looked to see what they served them she literally screamed across the area and said that’s the employee lunch I’m like ok I can read and this my first time here yet I don’t eat and it was only 1 fish option that was cod for the paying people but the employees had catfish I prefer catfish instead of cod but I couldn’t have that so anyway I was blew after that so I basically had nothing but sides and I spent 60$ I had my children with me that are teenagers so we were all priced as adults the Mac& chesse was sitting on time of another dish because it wasn’t room for anything else in that slot that was odd but hey they we trying they best the sweet potatoes were not sweet and the dressing was crunchy as ever no cranberry sauce to go along with it so I used the gravy Mac& chesse was cold and bland the greens were disgusting and the hot sauce wasn’t even Louisiana they didn’t have pepper and the pop was flat so to sum it up I won’t ever go there again ever in life plus spend my money and time and still wasn’t happy or full so we ended up leaving and going to Golden Corral another 20 minute drive and more money paid 😡😡😡😡 Screw Harvest...
