Reviews
It just happened to be my wife’s birthday and when they found out about it, the whole staff came out of the kitchen and sang happy birthday to her and gave her some cheesecake which was much appreciated.
IThey made us feel special that day.
Staff is very friendly and attentive. The owner came out to our table and we chatted for a while. He’s a professional chef and he cares about food quality. Please go there as often as you can ,we will.
We love the fries catfish, mashed potatoes, green beans, fried shrimp, and all you can eat prime rib on Sundays! Can’t beat the price. They also have a variety of soups and a full salad bar which is very fresh, as well as a variety of breakfast items — love their French toast. But the customer service is what sets them apart — shoutout to Nikita and Cindy for being the best servers! They are so attentive and friendly. Nikita also makes all of their cheesecakes which are so delicious!! Especially their Strawberry, Apple, Key Lime, and Turtle cheesecakes. Yum! We hear that people will travel to dine at this buffet so check them out if you’re in the area.
We will definitely be back next time we are in town.
From the outside, the restaurant gives off a cozy, family-friendly vibe, but the food is absolutely elevated. We started with the bruschetta, which was almost a meal on its own. Each thick slice of toasted bread was topped with a generous dollop of melted fresh mozzarella—so good! My husband and I had to take half of it home just to save room for our meal.
We both ordered steaks. I went with the 9 oz Prime Filet for $40 with two sides. Holy cow—literally. First off, it’s rare to find a restaurant serving Prime steak, which is the best you can get outside of Japanese Wagyu. I also got the mushroom cream sauce on the side—partly because I wanted to try it, but also because a great steak shouldn’t need sauce. And wow. The steak was perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful, and melted like butter in my mouth. Then I tried the sauce. I don’t know if I can eat steak without it ever again.
For sides, I had the grilled asparagus and sautéed vegetables, while my husband went with the steak fries and asparagus. Everything was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. I was completely stuffed… and then I saw the desserts.
I have never seen more beautiful desserts in a restaurant. Every single one is made from scratch, and they even take whole cake and cheesecake orders with advance notice (which I will absolutely be doing). I took a video of the dessert case, and our waitress told me it wasn’t even looking as good as usual! I went for the strawberries and cream cake, and my husband got the strawberry cheesecake (which he was too full to eat and brought home for the kids). WOW. Just WOW.
The service was just as great as the food. Our waitress was super attentive, and the owner/chef even came out to personally greet our table. I’ve already sent texts to my friends—this is where we’re celebrating our next birthdays. I just hope it’s not too busy when the secret gets out!
