I must say, I have never been disappointed here. The salad lunch buffet is excellent and you can't beat the price.

Consistently excellent, from the salad bar to the service. Definitely a worthwhile experience.

We all had the salad bar, but the meat service was very slow and on two occasions we requested meat that never came to our table. One person even requested lamb that was never served until we were ready to leave. We asked for tea refills multiple times, but only one person received a refill after several requests. Despite it being a Monday evening and the restaurant not being very busy, the service was lacking. After spending $400 on dinner (we split the check), this was the first time we have ever been so disappointed with our dining experience. We had planned to have a birthday dinner at this restaurant next month, but now we are reconsidering. We felt it necessary to inform you that this was not our usual experience at your establishment. Furthermore, when we received the bill, we asked the waiter to split it. This was not an issue. However, upon signing the bill, we noticed that the suggested tip amount was calculated on the total bill amount, resulting in us accidentally double-tipping our servers. This error in your system led to us paying extra for the subpar service we received. This is unacceptable. Sincerely, Sherrie D. Wilson

The restaurant was very crowded; the staff was very friendly but it was extremely busy. That being said, they were attentive and happy to help but definitely overwhelmed. We were seated at a table in the middle of the room; the food was mostly brought to tables on the perimeter due to crowd size and difficulty for them to maneuver. There were periods where we waited up to 10 minutes before someone actually came to our table. When the food was brought over, it was very good. They ran out of a few things before everyone at our table was served since other tables seemed to be easier to reach. That was a bit annoying, but the staff was extremely busy and weren’t purposely avoiding us. The beef was all sirloin there was no filet mignon. Pork and chicken were available. I did see sausage going around, but it never came to our table. The market bar (salad bar) was terrific lots of fresh food and a wide variety. It was a good experience for our first time there, but I doubt we will return.

What an incredible value for lunch: $15 for the huge Market Bar loaded with so many delicious food choices, plus just $10 more to add 8-10 ounces of meat. We added a creme brulee for $10.50 that my wife and I agreed was the best we've ever had. Service was outstanding and the restaurant is gorgeous. We drove 60 miles just to dine here and it may become a habit.
