Ovations Restaurant — Restaurant in Virginia

It has been a long time for me to give a one star rating. However, this place deserves a bad review. The price is $45 for supposedly an American buffet. The food choices are so limited and not eye pleasing. For this price we should get a good choice of bbq, steaks and more. But there are foods that I didn’t recognized by name or look. Petty choices of deserts too. I wish that was the worst part of it. I had read Some reviews about their bad food safety and hygiene , I didn’t believe it until I experienced it. Immediately after we left the place, 3 out of four of us had stomach cramps and two of us experienced diarrhea an hour later. I am sure their food had bacteria staphylococcus Aeros(staph. A.). This usually comes from personnel’s bad hygiene like not washing their hands....

Two thumbs up for the pulled pork (which you definitely have to sauce b/c it dries on the hot table), the potato salad (personally I needed salt but that's just me), and the raspberry sorbet, which tastes like real raspberries. Convenient for a show, but I just don't see how you can eat 43 dollars worth of food, especially if you're going for traditional BBQ. Slaw was ok, and I'll bet there are people who like their mac n cheese they way they do it, but I thought it was too soupy and squishy....

Went to Wolf Trap to enjoy the ENTIRE experience.... Thought it would be nice to enjoy a meal there. We were sat, then promptly ignored. We watched two other tables sat and served a pitcher of ice cold water (it was nearly 100° that day). No one addressed us, no one did anything to even acknowledge us. The venue was near empty of patrons but had about a dozen wait staff just standing around. Obviously poorly trained. Started us off with a bad impression of Wolf...
