    Not sure what I was expecting. We took our service dog in and although they didn't tell us he couldn't be there they were quite clear he wasn't welcomed. Mind you, he sits under the table the whole time and doesnt jump and run around like some I've seen. I went to get my food at the salad bar and they told me I had to leave him at the table. Um, he has to go EVERYWHERE with me and how is he supposed to do his job if he's on the other side of the restaurant? Waitress was nice, she didn't even notice our dog until we got up to walk out. It was some other guy that worked there that was giving me problems.

    The food is horrible and overpriced. Also the black young server treated me differently than alot of the older white people who looked like regulars. I guess she profiled me and I make great money as a young black man. I told her tte food was not good and she said you ate it. Very disrespectful she barely came to my table.

    Food was ordered to be delivered by DoorDash. Home fries had no flavor, omelette tasted like an entire salt shaker was dumped on it. Asked for fried chicken sandwich plain due to being lactose intolerant and allergies they put cheese on it. Waste of $30 too bad because they were recommended.

    We ordered the buffet and a cocktail. Didn't think it was possible to get a vodka and soda and and yet there it was. The green salad portion of the buffet was decent enough but the rest of the dishes were clearly out of a can. I didn't have any of the meat dishes and should have only been charged for the salad bar instead of the entire buffet but didn't argue. Not planning on being in Nashville soon but we'll find somewhere else for dinner next time.

    ...I needed a place to sit and get warm and try to figure out how to address my broken down vehicle...I'd been stuck for multiple days... ...I preferred the atmosphere at the bar compared to fast food restaurants... ...and all of my servers were inviting and helpful... ... especially Tonya, who is exceptional... ...I was able to keep myself fed with a few of the more affordable menu items... ...unlimited pancakes for $6.99...😋 ...and the broccoli cheddar soup hit the spot one cold evening...
