This place doesn’t even deserve a 1 star, I ate their salmon it was jelly and smelled really bad, and still tried to tell me it was fresh. The food taste weird and too fishy the food sits out too long and is NOT FRESH AT ALL. A lot of the seafood was super dry and mushy too. Stay safe ya’ll.

Most of the food was Cold or luke warm at best! When I told a staff member, she said I will tell them to turn the heat back on. What?!? Why was the heat turned off? After that several employees kept looking over at me and seemed to be annoyed. I went back through food line and this time I could see steam rising from the buffet line but it wasn't heating the cold food very fast. I went back multiple times taking a small spoonful of dishes I was hoping would be hot but to no avail, at least not the whole time we were there. I ate very little for their $28 price. And most of the food either had no label or was mislabeled. I couldn't figure out what alot of the dishes were or what was in them so I asked an employee and she didn't come over, she just tried to guess from where she was at behind

My husband and I visit plenty of buffets because we have 4 kids. We are visiting family in Santa Maria, and this is the only buffet in the area from Lompoc to Santa Maria. I would not come back here, though. The service was friendly. The food was just barely edible. I admit I tried a variety of things, just one of two bites of the things I normally like, hoping each bite would be better, but it wasn't. I had 4 pieces of the sushi, 1 of each kind, and I didn't get more. I had 2 baked muscles, I like baked muscles, and I didn't get more. The best thing I ate was a corn on the cob. It was like $130 for a family of 6. Ages 2-16 for the kids and 2 adults. There was no clear pricing listed anywhere they just charged. Also a 3% fee for paying by card. Like I said, I would not come back here. The

Quality of the food is not the best. I would not go back. The atmosphere is family friendly and can accommodate larger parties. Service was okay.

Cane here after a hike and was a bit hungry. The food looked go so we decided to stay. I was a bit disappointed with the food that was offered. The food tasted ok, it seemed as if it was under the heat lamp too long. I did like the noodles and clams, though.
