Don’t waste your time or money. Absolutely disgusting and shameful to serve people food like that. Order was wrong, food looked pathetic and the buffet was nasty!!! Horrible. Horrible.
The server was very nice. Only plus side.

Place was clean and people were nice but the food on the bar was cold and really didn't have much flavor.

The buffet was excellent. The food was hot and the coffee was very good. Our waiter was pleasant and on the job with everything we needed. My husband lives the breakfast buffet and I just go along and get by. They have upgrade the buffet and I was very happy today.
