I hesitated writing this review, but I feel like I'm doing a public service, so take it with a grain of salt. I went at 12:25, which is THE working man's lunch hour. I had heard the pizza is very good, which is why it was disheartening to get the buffet and see it down to a slice of cheese pizza. I know they will eventually bring more out, but that took 10 minutes. The amount of men stampeding the new pizza as soon as it came out, with dirty plates in tow(with uneaten pizza still on them)to get their heaping serving was incredulous. It's no wonder the staff hides in the back after dropping it off, because even a seasoned army chow hall veteran like me was stunned into silence for fear of retribution. Additionally, during this testosterone fueled feeding frenzy, a man walked in off the street, grabbed a plate, got his plate of pizza and sat down to eat without paying. No employee was in the front of the store to stop this madness. For the price of a $9 buffet, you too can participate in this unbelievable circus atmosphere. My best advice is wait until after 1 pm, there's better odds of decency, normalcy, and a slice of pizza. I will be ordering pizza delivery in the future because it's that good, and I hope your future buffet visit is better than mine. (And don't put a lamenting reply and tell me "please don't hesitate to fill out the conduct form available on our website". You know you have a problem with people reusing food plates on the salad bar, just fix it before an Oregon health inspector fixes it for you in an...
Read moreWe arrived at 12:45am and purchased two buffets with sodas. The salad bar, and pizza bar were well stocked when we went to get our food, but when the pizza ran out shortly after, it was refilled five minutes later with only one pizza which was gone in less than a minute, so we decided to wait for more to come out, but after fifteen minutes no more were put out, and there were probably fifteen or more people waiting for more pizza. We gave up, and left. We also had to clean dirty plates off of a table to eat at, which was one of many tables that had not been cleaned, and not a single table was cleaned through the thirty minutes we were there. We also noticed several people coming back for refills, (before the pizza was gone) re-using their dirty plates, and none of the staff challenged them on that. In Oregon you cannot re-use a dirty plate at a buffet. The salad bar is very good, but the pizza is only so-so. If that is the normal type of service there, we see no...
Read morewe didn't try the pizza, but I wanted to leave a review... We were passing through town and saw signs for mountain Mike's and their pizza buffet, so we decided to stop in and check it out... We had heard good things and figured the buffet was a good way to sample their varieties, however no buffet on weekends.
We thought about getting a pizza, however it struck me as odd that at noon on Saturday, the place was empty, since I read some good and some bad reviews we decided we would skip eating there. Having been in restaurant management in my younger years, my advice would be offer something like a more expensive lunch/dinner buffet option that highlights popular choices of your pizza on the weekends, just to get people in the door to experience your pizza.
As for the atmosphere, the place look great... The brief interaction I had with the staff was good too.
Good luck, I hope you figure out your troubles and get your...
