- CDCharlene Doran1 day ago5.0We don’t get pizza ranch in Texas so it was very good I used to live here so we don’t get pizza ranch there so it was a delightful meal
- JDJulie Dee6 days ago5.0My family had a great experience at this location. The buffet was well stocked and the food was warm and tasty. We were there at 11:30am on a Friday. The dining room was packed, but the food was constantly replenished. My kids had a good time in the game room. It is a small room, but a good variety to keep my teens occupied for about 30 minutes. My 12 year old had a good time using his tickets to redeem for prizes. Overall, very successful family outing.

- JDJack DreasMar 22, 20265.0I was traveling home with my dad and we stopped here for lunch and it was a little slow to get out buffets it was worth it. The pizza was good and the chicken was great. It was also very filling as after a few trips to the buffet line I was full and so was my dad.
