Reviews
– The Fruit Punch was tasty and fresh
– Three different types of pancakes! Regular, Coconut, and a purple one made with ume, which was my favorite
– Fried Rice was yummy. As were the potato wedges
– Several types of protien, from bacon to sausages to sliced… ham? Spam? Dunno. But it was good.
If I had one complaint it’s that I wanted more variety for the price, but the food that was there was good and I liked the atmosphere and the wait staff was friendly and attentive. It’s better than some of the poor reviews it’s gotten!
At a $55 price tag for a prime rib buffet, how bad could it be? Bad. Very bad. Personally, I think we got prime ripped.
The atmosphere was horrible, almost like a scene from Stranger Things. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I shouldn’t be there. There were like three big parties going on all at the same time, and I honestly felt like I was interrupting/crashing their parties. It almost felt like I paid money to attend and eat at someone else’s party.
I would have taken pictures, but I didn’t want to invade one of the big parties’ privacy, I mean, they did take up like half of the room.
Anyway, besides the disruptive parties that were taking place, the food should be good, right? Wrong!
That “prime rib” was so dry you could use it as a shammy cloth. Not to mention it was extremely salty, like they threw it in the ocean for a little bit.
Fried noodles and seafood boil were there too; skip them, they’re salty too. Hell, everything was salty; it’s like they don’t want you to taste the food.
So you’re thinking at this point, you’re getting quite thirsty from all this salt and dry rib. Well, that’s great because the sodas are $6 a pop, and no free refills. But hey, they do free refills on water and iced tea, that is, if anyone comes to your table to refill it.
Desserts, my favorite part of any buffet! You can’t mess up desserts, right? Well, today, officially, Maui Beach has proved me wrong.
That white cake that looked seemingly okay had a secret ingredient added to it. Upon the first bite of this payload of disaster, all I could taste was onions. It’s like they either stored it bare bones in a fridge right next to a pound of onions, or they deliberately were spiking that cake with it. Regardless, they kept it coming; the next batch of that cake was the same thing, it’s like they tried to mask the flavor with the icing, thinking nobody would notice. It’s not even Halloween yet, and Maui Beach is out here playing trick or treat with their guests.
I sat there with my appetite ruined, unable to continue eating anything from here. My empty plate from the first run was still there, and my drinks were still empty.
After leaving this episode of the Twilight Zone, I shot straight to McDonald’s (basically the only thing accessible at the time) to get that taste out of my mouth.
In conclusion, everything was a disaster, and I wouldn’t wish this experience on my worst enemy.
SAVE YOUR MONEY!
EXPERIENCE:
We were informed of the slap-in-the-face news by a family member who arrived at the restaurant ahead of us. While we could’ve done BYOB (told to us after-the-fact) with a $2/person charge, we were already on our way with the celebrant and didn’t want to be delayed even more.
We were immediately greeted by the gal at the host stand to who I asked why their bar was closed. She referred me to a gentleman who was on his way to greet us and who I assume was the restaurant manager. He stated that due to COVID, they thought it’d be best to pause alcohol sales. Fine, but guests should be told that up front.
Tables were spaced apart and the buffet is no longer self-serve. While understandable, the buffet experience is marred by having to deal with someone to assist you with your selections. Good thing they weren’t busy as there were only two people assisting behind the buffet.
Dishes and silverware have been replaced by eco-unfriendly paper plates and plastic utensils. Pitchers of water are left in the middle of the tables and replenished frequently. The dessert table has been replaced with a self-serve freezer doling out ice cream bars, sandwiches and popsicles.
BUFFET:
*Fried rice – spouse loved it even if it looked pale & simple
*Chow mein – very good
*Prime rib – I think it was prime rib but whatever it was, was very fatty and chewy; avoid
*Chicken – battered & deep-fried; very good
*Fish – baked filets that were tender & tasty
*Salad – romaine with just olives as a topping choise; 3 dressings; I chose ranch which tasted like nasty Hidden Valley
*Shrimp tempura – these were the short, stubby version with the smooth batter vs. the long pieces with the “rough” batter; still good
*Corned beef – it looked like roast pork due to its dark color and was finished with gravy; very odd preparation
SERVICE:
We were checked on quite often and thanked on our way out. Great job.
OVERALL:
Selections have lessened but what was served was still good. $25/person is a fair deal.
