    So my 1st comment: it's a bit pricey on the Sat (weekend dinner) meal--$24.95/person. However, there were many buffet tables full of a wide variety of foods: entrees, salads, fruit & veggies, & of course, delectable desserts! 🤤. You won't leave hungry--that's 4 sure. The food was fresh, tasty, and @ the proper temperature, so u certainly WON'T b disappointed!

    This place is a staple for our family. From visiting Az to moving here almost everyone we know has talked about or taken us here in the past 7yrs. We’ve been living in AZ 3yrs and we find when we can’t make up our mind and have some cash to burn we come here. We’ve been here during holiday rush (Xmas), post sports games with the extended family in tow, and just for dinner just because. The atmosphere is always lovely. The food when we come is always fresh or begin refilled so quick you barely notice that it’s run out because before you can stay something someone is already bring more out. The staff has been there forever! Which I find comfort in to be honest. They are really nice and attentive when your polite. Plates can stack up but they always clear before it’s too much; drinks are brought to the table- it’s far and few between that we need to vocalize that a refill is needed. The major pain point we have is the female bathrooms- they are cleaned well, however there is always a leak or “out of order” sign on 1-3 of the 4 stalls. It’s been like that every time we visit and can cause a line. If they could do a bathroom remodel I think that would be great for business.

    I genuinely don’t know how this place is in business when they purposefully serve people SPOILED FOOD. I've ordered this place at least once a week for the past three months and the last time i got the egg drop soup it was clearly off which i pictured and sent to door dash for a refund. Now around a week later i ordered my regular order again and they send me this. What distasteful unprofessional way to handle this situation. Safe to say i will NEVER be ordering from this place again LOL

    If I could give a 0 stars I would…I went to this restaurant and was really disappointed. The food was being stored really close to cleaning chemicals, which didn’t seem safe at all. It also looked like they reuse food from previous days instead of making it fresh. On top of that, the bathrooms almost never work, which makes the place feel very unsanitary. I honestly wouldn’t recommend eating here. NEVER COMING BACKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I’ll start with the good: the place was clean, and the staff were polite and quick. That’s the only reason this isn’t a one-star review. Everything else? A deep-fried disaster. I get it, it’s a buffet, but the food looked like it was marinated in oil and then sautéed in more oil for good measure. You could probably slide a plate down the table and it’d keep going. The flavor wasn’t terrible, I think, hard to tell under all the grease. By the end of dinner, I couldn’t figure out if I was feeling off because of the oil or because something in the food was fighting for its life. Nothing tasted spoiled, not that I could tell anyway, but I’m still deciding if I’m going to regret it later. Two stars because the staff was great and the place exists, but this meal felt less like dinner and more like a personal challenge.
