We had high hopes for Thanksgiving at Humphreys, but unfortunately, our experience fell short of expectations. Despite making reservations for a table by the window and dining at 4:15 to ensure fresh food, we were seated near the door, where it was cold, and the food we encountered was also cold—especially the featured turkey. Approximately 75% of the dishes appeared to have been sitting out for hours, making them look unappetizing. The cold drafts from the open doors only worsened the issue. While the spicing was flavorful, it was hard to enjoy due to the lack of freshness and cold temperatures of many dishes. For a $250 meal, the quality of service and food dynamics felt substandard. The waiter struggled to make a simple dessert recommendation when asked, which diminished the service experience further. Although there was an omelet and pasta bar, the language barrier made it difficult to get clear instructions on how the pasta bar worked. I ended up with a leftover dish intended for someone else who spoke Spanish. Overall, this meal did not meet the standards we expected for the price and reputation of Humphreys.

Service was very friendly and accommodating. Seating was very comfortable. Food was pretty subpar for $95 price tag. Have been at this thanksgiving buffet one time before a couple years ago, and today’s food was pretty meh compared to last time.
