    The restaurant is ok but it’s the service that has gone down hill a bit, this can be do to the lack of quality caring employees that is an issue with this country right now. Food is ok.

    They're omelet/egg bar was so good. They make them right in front of you how you like them. The waffles were fluffy & good. The meat bar had so much to choose from, but the fruit salad soup & vegetables bar was my favorite. They also offer you bottomless bloodymary's that you make yourself & different flavors of bottomless mimosas. The service was great!

    The first time we went here for a Sunday buffet, it was outstanding. This time not so much, but in their defense, it was Father’s Day. I just don’t think they anticipated the amount of traffic. I had to ask on three separate trips to the buffet for biscuits for the biscuits and gravy. They were completely out of ice cream in all three machines. There were no desserts to be found. They just couldn’t keep up with the amount of people and food. On a positive note, our waitress was extremely pleasant. They tried hard, the manager kept microphone and back what more they needed to replenish. Some items were just shut not replenished. Would I go back? Yes, just not on a holiday.

    The server was very good. It was a buffet on Fathers Day. They ran out of food regularly at every station. They were simply short staffed and overwhelmed by the number of people coming in.

    We went for the Father’s Day brunch. The ice cream machines were all down. Lots of the food options were empty at the buffet with little to no refills. The food that was available was delicious

    Went for Sunday brunch, food was good. But, they we’re running out and not refilling the buffet , so we missed out on a lot of things for the same price.. also there were no sneeze guards and food was just out in the open. Not very sanitary in my opinion. Ice cream is included with the buffet but all the machines were not working and they literally had 2 desserts left in the table. Just seemed chaotic and very disorganized. Our server never cleared our plates and only came once to our table. Maybe they were just busy? And was a bad day? Either way hardly impressive when you have the food choices because things are not being restocked in a reasonable time.

    We didn’t end up eating here as planned. When we got to the restaurant for our 12:30 reservation and were seated the server let us know that they were only serving a breakfast buffet until 3:00. We were in the mood for Mexican food so we gave up our table and selected another location. I’m sure we’ll be back another time when the full menu is available.

    We have been at this venue before and the food was very good. This time not so much. My wife got the seafood enchiladas and I’m not quite sure what the ingredients were inside them but it was no seafood I have ever seen. It was Mothers Day - so it was hectic and our waiter was overwhelmed. The positive here is that the chips and salsa were great! Rest of the food just ok for the price we paid.

    We went for Sunday brunch, service was non existent maybe because the waitress thought it was a buffet so she not need to check on our drinks or bring us fresh plates for buffet. Also the buffet was just ok, the food was dry and tasted like it sat there for hours. I would not recommend the buffet. Just go after the buffet is over and eat freshly made food. Brunch does not include any beverages, bottomless mimosas are not included in the buffet, it is $20 extra. There is not an option to order from the menu during brunch even though a menu was given to us as we sat down. You have to wait after 3 pm on Sundays to order from the menu.

    Got seated immediately ordered queso for our toddler so she would be content waiting for food. Waited over 50 minutes still no dip. Server took order then comes back 10-15 minutes later stating they wrote down shredded chicken but not the actual meal meaning she never even placed our order

    The food here is always quite good. Love the guacamole and chips and salsas and margaritas. The service however is usually slow. This last time our server was clearly stressed out and we barely saw her. It took forever to get our check. Seems like they need more staff.
