Well, I had to come back & do an update. I'm happy to report things have improved tremendously. I ate there Fri night & the fish was fabulous. Three kinds of fish, walleye, white & perch. All were very tender & perfectly fried. There was also baked, but I was too full to try it. The presentation was clean & fresh. I now can highly recommend Eating here. What a delight! Good job management. So glad to have this place to enjoy now. I still recommend going early as I ate at 5pm. Can't say what happens later. The male waiter was very friendly & service was great.
Too bad this place isn't presenting their food better because Ashland really needs a good buffet. A little over priced at $20 for poorly managed buffet. I came a little late 7:30, a lot of food was dried out, missing & looked like it had been sitting there over it's time limit. I never saw anyone bring anything out fresh the whole time I was there. This used to be a Mexican restaurant & was fabulous so I was really disappointed. I get the impression they don't really know how to do a proper American buffet. They have 2 sections, Mexican & American. The salad bar was passable & some of the Mexican side, wings were great, but most of it I wouldn't touch. The concept is doable, but needs some better supervision & fresh food & cleanliness & work on presentation. I can't recommend it until they get this under control. If you do go, make sure you go early. I went back at 5 another time & it was much better, but still not being kept fresh enough. I'd like to see this place improve & stick around. The waitress...
Read moreI've visited this buffet over a year ago when it was a Mexican buffet. It was disappointing then, but much worse now when my family and I visited last Wednesday evening. The place was quite empty. I saw a few cars in the parking lot, but I didn't see any other patrons. Much of food was old, dry, and clearly reheated. They had burgers that were hard as bricks and the chicken fried steaks were clearly days old, sliced into strips with BBQ sauce drizzled on top. The onion rings were a soggy mess and the chicken fried rice was both crunchy and chewy. There were several dishes that were unidentifiable and unappetizing. The fried chicken was fresh, though it lacked any flavor other than the coating. Several plates with multiple samples were left nearly untouched. When we finished the host/server asked if we had any complaints about the food. What an odd question to ask, I thought. He must know the food is bad and still allows it to be served. Or perhaps he overheard us remarking about it to each other. We politely smiled and said some of it was okay. I wont be giving it a third try. There are great restaurants in Ashland that cost less and...
Read moreSCAM!!! I'm so disappointed with this place. Yes it was a Tuesday and yes it was 7pm, however there was hardly any food there and only some of it was even edible. They do not post the price for the meal ($20/person). The French salad dressing was bad, there was no cheese in the mac and cheese, we were told we were getting Pepsi no ice and got coke with ice. Even with mentioning the wrong drink and bad salad dressing, which put my son off his entire meal, we still ended up paying $20 per person! There was almost no food to be had that was edible!. If that wasn't bad enough, the server hovered over us while paying, so we felt bad giving him the tip he deserved. I would also bet money that most of the positive reviews on here are from staff, with the owner only replying to make them look...
