⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Shelby W
Service was wonderful and we were also the only ones in the dining room! Friendly staff. The breakfast buffet was good! The fresh bread, cinnamon rolls, and french toast strips were good. They had high chairs available but I'm not sure about menu items since we got the breakfast buffet and 3 year olds are free. Ladies bathroom did not have a changing table but the countertop was large enough to put a changing pad down.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Mike Hericks
This was my inaugural visit to this establishment. The experience was outstanding. I opted for the brunch buffet, and the food was exceptional. The buffet offered an adequate selection of food, complemented by a full salad bar. The staff is exceedingly cordial and the service was outstanding. There were ample tables available. There is also a comprehensive bar on-site, and they seemed to have some excellent signature drinks listed. The price was quite reasonable for an all-you-can-eat buffet. You can also order items à la carte from the kitchen. They serve dinner as well, which I will try soon. I am absolutely certain that I will be returning. I strongly suggest giving it a shot!
