  No more cornbread! They used to have the best cornbread I've ever had, for free, but now you can't even buy it. I think the restaurant is a little bit overpriced, but the cornbread would make up for it. They also removed my two favorite entrees, the shrimp & grits and the seafood boil. One of the replacement items was still quite good though.

  This used to be my favorite restaurant on property. Unfortunately, I probably won't be going back. The menu has recently changed and many of the authentic dishes have been removed. The cornbread, which is the main reason I'd come, is also gone and replaced with a plain white bread that doesn't fit the restaurant at all. The all you care to enjoy platter was fine, but not as good as I remembered. It was bland and lukewarm like it had been sitting out for a while. The pasta in the Mac and cheese had a strong, strange flavor to it like expired wheat products. Our server was fairly nice, but it took 20 minutes to get drinks and service was not all that attentive. Very sad to see what used to be a favorite, authentic restaurant become a cheapened, bland offering. We likely won't be back.

  Visited in late January. We had always wanted to dine here and we stayed at Riverside so this was an easy decision. My food was cold upon arrival. I had the Taste of the Bayou. Assuming some of this is preplated as its a popular choice. I was extremely exhausted from traveling and I did not complain as I was so hungry and just wanted to to go bed. My husband's meal was fine, he had the Jambalaya. I would try dining here again, but it won't be my 1st pick.

  This review is was a mixed bag. On the positive, the salmon dinner was good. Unfortunately, there were too many negatives. First, they no longer offer corn bread ahead of the meal. It's simply bread. Second, although our server was friendly, she wasn't very attentive. Never asked about our meals or refilled water. Finally, the BBQ platter left quite a bit to be desired. The meats were generally bland and dry. Not an expensive meal by resort standards, but not worth the $100 or so we spent.

  Tips for making the most out of your "All you wish to enjoy" experience: 1. Do not eat the focaccia bread. It may be delicious, and the chimichurri butter really puts it over the top, but it's good way to get you full faster. 2. If you can, ask them to serve everything except the mashed potatoes. They are super delicious, and very well seasoned, But the seasoning mix is perfect, simply to hide the level of salt that they add to the potatoes, this causes your body to feel full sooner because of the amount of sodium you're intaking. 3. Unless you can handle it, don't order another plate full of everything... Just ask for what you liked best as many times as you can to make it worth it. Tip for the restaurant: If you can, get rid of the brisket. It's really yummy, but it's not done the right way... Try replacing the brisket with fried fish.
