    We dined here today and had a mixed experience. Our server, Whitney, was absolutely amazing, so kind, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. However, the food fell short this time. It lacked the usual freshness and seasoning we’ve come to expect. While the service was outstanding, the quality of the food today was disappointing. Hopefully, this was just an off day for the kitchen.

    Thank you for your honest feedback, Kimberly. We're delighted to hear that Whitney provided such exceptional service! We're sorry to learn that the food didn’t meet expectations this time. We appreciate your understanding and will share your comments with our kitchen team to ensure we’re delivering the quality you’ve come to expect. We hope to make your next visit a perfect one! -Kerry

    Food always tastes great! The derver at the padtires stand was sooooo nice. We had a sick baby, and she helped! For those in our party who ordered fried dishes (seafood platter and fried chicken), it was a little over fried. The chicken usually comes with a breast and a thigh. We only received thighs. The risotto was great! The kids loved the fries. The margarita was DELICIOUS!

    Not sure what the hype is on this place. Liquid eggs and flavorless bacon are def not my style. Tried the french toast and it was raw inside. I at least went back for seconds for another try but my husband had 2 bites off his first plate and was too disgusted to go any further. Coffee was also cold, even after a refill. Would never recommend and will not be going back. Service was just ok. The waitress acknowledge my husband not eating and just said sorry…did not attempt to try and fix anything.

    The food at the Buffet was cold/luke warm. There appeared to be no burners to keep the plates warm. One of the items that you had to order from the kitchen i was told would not be available for quite sometime even though they were already opened for over 1 hr when i arrived. The desserts were so-so and either overly sweet or lacked flavor. I use to love this place for brunch but now I'm not sure if its worth the price and commute.

    by far the worst meal I have had at this restaurant. Cold food. Tasteless with no salt. My burger was completely covered in mounds of gooey cheese. All four meals were I edible and horrible. Never again. AVOID!
