The service was pretty good, our server offered to have eggs Benedict made fresh since it doesn't do well on a buffet table, and it was fresh and delicious. The food on the buffet was another story. Most of it was cool to the touch, including scrambled eggs and the bacon, brisket, etc. The server said they're working on how to do better, to keep the food from sitting and burning, but I would rather they serve warm food than cold food that's been sitting out. $35.00 for mostly cold food on the buffet, and it doesn't include beverages. I gave it more than one star because our server brought the eggs Benedict, that was hot and delicious.

Thank you for your feedback, JJ. We're glad you enjoyed the eggs Benedict, and we appreciate your kind words about your server. We're sorry to hear the buffet food didn’t meet expectations, and we’ll be addressing this with our team to ensure a better experience in the future. Your input helps us improve, and we hope to have the chance to serve you again with the quality you deserve. -Najjah

Overall it is fine, but when you order soup, you really do not want to see staff pushing trash out of the restaurant with store-bought boxes of soup.

Cullen was an excellent waiter. We ordered the brisket and the meat platter that had 4 pork ribs, brisket and a piece fried chicken. The brisket had a huge piece of fat attached to it. Told the waiter, he apologized and said he would let them know. The pumpkin cheesecake delicious. Wish there was a better piece of brisket because it was delicious.

Thank you for your kind words about Cullen’s service, Terri! We're glad you enjoyed the pumpkin cheesecake and found the brisket flavorful. We’ll share your feedback with our kitchen team to ensure a consistently great experience. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon! -Najjah
