Customer Reviews
This place is ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS and someone needs to call the health department to have them shut down, seriously. When u first walk in the place smells like sewage.Inside the dining area, the booths are warn down and broken. The silverware was nasty. On the buffet, the food was lukewarm, and OH MYGOD the amount of caked up dust and grease on the lighting above the bar, creepd me out so bad. The rice wasn't even sitting on anything to keep it warm, and the water where the scoop spoon sat was so milky and cloudy.The gentleman working the grille smelled like he went out and smoked a pack of cigarettes, came back in didn't was his hands, and just started cooking. The bathrooms, I don't need to say. This place should have been shut down years ago. If the sign outside the building is garba
I stopped coming for a while, but I end up coming back today. Ate some of the food And they had mold on the cheese I will be calling the inspectors on them. I did not get a refund for my money. They told me that they was going to bring. This is not a place to eat
Hate to do a bad review but I went with my family at 1pm on Saturday 12/20. There was barely any food out, very small portions & on top of that the food was either super greasy, lukewarm or just not appetizing at all. We were looking for a good buffet & thought since it was nearby we’d give it a chance. The recent reviews speak for itself. The only pretty good thing is they have a bar, my beer truly saved me from the tastes at times. As for service the lady working the cashier was waiting on tables and she was attentive for refills and taking our plates so nothing bad to say of that. Atmosphere was okay music coming from the bar area. Not sure if they were off their game because it was lunch & not dinner time but who knows. Eat at your own risk.
07/02/2025- Bad! There is no one in here! Why? The food is cold, awful, the fish smells funny( bad). The staff is rude! The snell of the bathroom is penetrating out through the food area. The floor feels greasy! The decor is dusty! Don’t come here! Okay. They have a bar and music playing loudly! The bar may be your thing! I like food! Thus is not the place to eat! Yuk!and Yuk! * The exterior and interior doors are filthy!
This place is awful. The food is awful. The service is awful. Just everything is terrible. The waitress was very rude. The food taste like they fished it out of a dumpster and warmed it up. And to top it off, they have fleas in their booths. Not kidding. This place used to be good years ago, but no more. DO NOT EAT HERE.
