"Easter Sunday Brunch . . Very crowded and noise level high . . great food but needed to wait for certain items that continued to run out on buffet tables . . Waitress was great but bus staff kept taking our coffee cups when we get up to sample other buffet items . . Price was comp to other Easter Buffets and would definitely go back again . . Everyone was having a good time . . Plus we could go home without having to prepare or cleanup another Easter Sunday dinner ;)"

"I used to think that Axel's was a good place to go, well, probably not in Savage. I don't know if they have changed their menu but it is nothing to talk about. The hostesses seemed to be confused about what they are doing and were a bit rude. The waiter was nice and friendly but the service from the bar was slow.Ordered several items to pass around and nothing stood out. The Margherita Pizza was not good and should not be called a Margherita Pizza. Look up a recipe, they don't follow it. It is supposed to be a thin crispy crust with the tomatoes, mozzarella, onion, oregano, parsley, garlic, basil and olive oil. I think they may have lightly brushed on some olive oil and threw on some garlic (not much) and the tomatoes and the cheese. WHERE"

"It was a decent experience overall. The menu isn't overly extensive, but there are several different styles of food available... Grilled meats, pizza, pasta, sandwiches, Mexican, etc. We've eaten here before and it's always decent - nothing incredible, but never bad either. It took awhile to be seated (even with reservations), but the server was on top of her game."
