Loose Moose Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Virginia

This is my 2nd vacation here. The buffet the first time was AMAZING!! The staff was and still are amazing ESPECIALLY waitstaff. Very kind and attentive. HOWEVER! The buffet this vacation 1st night dropped the ball.The Meats were awfully dry.The salmon,bbq ribs,bbq chicken,turkey and gravy,pork loin and brisket was dryyyyyyyy😫😫😫😫 the brisket was burnt the turkey and gravy was hard I asked for extra gravy to dip,it was so dry.Meatballs and sauce with no spaghetti noodles 😑😑I've never had a more dry salmon it was crispy jerky like and it was baked so no need to be like that! It was disappointing!!🤦‍♀️ The 2nd night they had a pasta station with marinara or Alfredo sauce choice veggies only protein was chicken no meatballs for the spaghetti sauce or ground beef 🤷‍♀️ HOWEVER breakfast was wonderful!! Almost Every breakfast item you could think of. Grits or oatmeal would of been nice but I was happy with breakfast.I bought the food package I honestly can't say it was worth it bc the dinners wasn't that good the sides were amazing though.❤️❤️ 2021 The buffet was AMAZING!! Prime rib,popcorn shrimp,fried chicken,the rosemary turkey n gravy was juicy,salmon was tender and flavorful the bar was set high then so I was miserably disappointed...

I was really worried about eating here due to the negative reviews and the fact that I haven't eaten at a buffet in over 20 years due to food allergies.

The squash was fork tender and delicious. The mashed potatoes were creamy and whipped. There was only one item I didn't like- some sort of potato salad. The desserts were delicious as well- especially the cheesecake. Hoping this review finds those who are on the fence about eating at the loose moose and those...

It's an all you can eat breakfast and dinner. For dinner we went there and I ate until I almost exploded. They had ribs that had a dry rub on them but yet still juicy, brisket which was very well cooked, pork loin cut to order, pasta dishes made to order right in front, all different types of pasta salad, they all had kid friendly food as well(popcorn chicken, mini corn dogs, pizza, and potato wedges to name a few), and they had dessert as well. For 2 adults and 2 kids it came out to $77 without the tip, so not to bad. I think it's $25 per adult and $10 per...
