    This is by far the worst buffet restaurants I have ever eaten at, $40 regular and $60 crab legs. The shrimp and the crab legs taste like they were boiled in dirty drain water, you know how dirty drain water smells when it's backing up that's how they taste, what they call steak has the consistency and texture of a slice of pot roast and it was so dry that it made it hard to swallow you could feel it getting stuck as it was going down. I am a foodie and I go to restaurants everywhere, this one was horrible.
