My family and I sit here eating our dinner, I hear management say hey if you want food off the buffet have at it. Which was upsetting since we just got here about 20 minutes ago. We did order a specialty pizza of STUFF CRUST MACARONI, it was delicious. As I sat here I watched one worker reach out and grab items off the buffet with no gloves no tongs BARE HANDED.GROSS!!!! Then the manger filled a box full of chicken. My son and I enjoyed the Mac and cheese pizza and wanted another slice just to find they had taken it off the buffet and probably ended up in an employee’s take home box. As I am writing this review same employee wipes his nose with his BARE UNGLOVED hand and then grabs a piece of fish off the buffet eats a bite then walks back into the kitchen. As a past cook server and restaurant side kick running my mom’s restaurant I am appalled. If I woulda done this in my mom’s restaurant I wouldn’t have any hands. Don’t forget ppl are always watching so next time 1. wait till your customers are gone and closed, to get ur dinner 2. DONT EVER TOUCH A BUFFET FOOD WITH YOUR BARE SNOT COVERED FILTHY HANDS. The image is the plate stack we dealt with while eating our dinner. TOO BUSY TAKIN FOOD HOME TO CLEAN OUR PLATES OFF.

Always the best of the best! The manager is so nice and always asks if we would like them to special make a pizza for the buffet. Sure it gets wiped out at times, but when 25-30 people walk in within 5-10 minutes like we’ve seen happen often things run out. Best chicken ever!! And soft serve iced cream omg, love it.

All the food on the buffet was fresh and hot. The server staff was super friendly. We definitely will be going back again! The chicken and the pizza are awesome. Only complaint I might have is they could have a little bit bigger dish for the soft serve ice cream. Other than that it was a fantastic meal.

Came in after we finished a small scrimmage game in town. We were here for an hour and I counted 9 tables completely full of dirty dishes and cups from where I was sitting. We were never asked by an employee if they could take our dirty plates. I only saw one employee attempt to clean one table (Cameron I think was his name) and then left to go to the back room. He was also our cashier. I saw a gal and a guy attempt to refill some food items on the hot and cold bars. The guy (after swapping out one dish) took his lunch break. The gal with long dark hair in a bun had ear buds in while she was working the back of the house and front of the house.
Another guy came from the back, and the gal with the earbuds and bun told him to fill the salad bar. They kept a conversation going, but didn’t speak up about cleaning the tables until after 15 minutes.
Pictures show you all the dirty tables and the picture with the guy in it, was him getting off of his break.
We got here at 8pm on a Friday evening.
I worked in a restaurant and I understand being short staffed. But seriously this is a very sad place to visit. The employee wearing earbuds is a health violation. And not to mention hiding in the kitchen talking among themselves. I’m giving this place a bad review because the service is terrible. Another health violation that I noticed as well was that different foods were touching each other. For example potato wedges inside the gravy dish, and a random pizza server laid on top of the sneeze guard by the spices.

We ate at this location on March 1, 2025, at about 7:00 p.m. There were about 9-10 unoccupied tables with dirty plates, etc. on them. The waste basket in the women’s bathroom had not been emptied in a long while and was overflowing. The food seemed fresh and tasted good, but no one was attending to cleaning anything up, until we were leaving at about 7:30. We have eaten there on other occasions and never seen this happen before.

Pizza was constantly out of stock the salad bar was ok! No soup at this location. My table was dirty. There was a nice bus boy that kept plates picked up, but the poor lady at the check out was in charge of filling the pizza and cashiering. They have a cooler that offers take home frozen pizza but it is in the worst spot of the restaurant. They need to move it so people can come and go with ease. Social distancing is not a concern here no one seemed to care. The game room was the clean part of the restaurant.

I put a twist on a pizza…I ordered chopped up chicken wings on a buffalo chicken pizza to which the store gladly said “yes”. The pizza simply ROCKED !!!..try it folks 😉

As always love the chicken. Only once have I ever had it not cooked all the way. However, the breast was tough for some reason.

As a local food reviewer and Gold Elite status yelp reviewer, this is one of the only 1 star ratings I will ever give. I come here one day, they have no chicken. I place an order on the phone the same day for a 12 piece chicken pickup for the next day. When I arrive (today), they have my order but they didn’t make the chicken! I had to wait an extra 20 minutes and they didn’t even seem sorry and didn’t offer to comp anything. I was staring into the kitchen, watching them fry the chicken, and they spent 5 minutes putting the new batch out on the buffet before boxing my order. Along with this, I had a second order of chicken prior to this one, so the first batch I got was cold by the time the second box was given to me. I am very disappointed in how downhill this establishment has gotten.
