This was a terrible place for Thanksgiving. The dining area's decor is charming, but just a little too dark. Clearly, none of the staff wanted to be there. It was our first visit to the place and the waitress never asked if we wanted buffet or a menu or offered anything. She did keep our drinks filled throughout the meal but very unfriendly. The buffet was in the other room and was completely empty. We watched as they refilled, changing out none of the pans. Just dumping new into the old. They were accepting patrons from 10:30 until 2:30. So I'm guessing everyone was served from those same pans... Yuk 4hrs??? The buffet was heated by oil candles under the pans so the temps weren't regulated properly. The food itself wasn't home-cooked as said in one review. Maybe some was and I'm guessing those were the dishes that had little taste. The dressing was practically flavorless as well as the chipped turkey and chicken and noodles. The salads we're ok and they did have deserts, but even those were mediocre at best. I would not recommend and will not be back. In fact, had I made it to the buffet first of my group, I would have suggested to pay for our drinks and go to Golden Corral or elsewhere. In comparison, that would have been like fine dining as far as the food quality. I chose this place based on the menu and reviews I saw online. I've been told it was a good place, but if they don't want to work on the holidays, stay closed!

Very disappointed! Musty smell inside and very dirty appearance. Lots of real cob webs on the walls and rafters. My sandals stuck to the carpet in the buffet line. Prime rib was way over cooked. I understood no steak knife if It was cooked properly. Very tough and chewy. Case knife in table setting did not cut the meat. Crab legs were also overcooked and very small. Instant mashed potatoes. White gravy tasted like sweetened paste. The boneless frog legs were good. First and last visit.

Nice restaurant, great bartender drinks were nice and strong. Food was really good

Used for our wedding catering. I'll lead by saying the food was good. That was the only good thing about my experience. Terrible communication the entire process(which should have been my sign). We used for both catering and alcohol and that was our biggest mistake. We got screwed over big time on alcohol and I'm pretty sure we were way over charged. We were made promises that were not met, the bartender was awful, nothing was kept cold, and like I said we were way overcharged. I've asked for an itemized receipt multiple times and have never heard back, which isn't a shocker. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL!

The Thanksgiving meal was okay for the convenience and $15.99 price person but anymore and I would be giving it less. They ran out of a lot but what I eat was enough to stuff me. No mess and no leftovers was the plan so we enjoyed the ease and left full.
