The food is ok, not worth $39.99. It was cold and a lot of it was old. The prime rib was overcooked but not bad. Service was superb! Would we go again, no.

We went for the all you can eat crab legs advertised and they didn't even have crab legs. The food was edible but nothing to be desired. Not worth the price. The environment was loud due to the surrounding traffic.

Service was great. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. However, the food was just mediocre. For the price point, the variety of food was severely lacking. We have eaten there in years prior and it was delicious with many seafood options. We were highly dissatisfied and disappointed this last visit. We will not waste time or money here again.

We dined at Doc Bales during a concert weekend stay. The food was not good and the service was even worse.

Small, overpriced buffet. Convenient water views if staying in this dilapidated Hilton but otherwise no reason to dine here.

This was a hotel restaurant with a buffet similar to what you would receive at a courtyard or garden Inn. The hotel at South is in disrepair and probably should be downgraded from a “Hilton”.

Would not eat here again. We made this reservation cause everywhere online said they have crab legs. Even the link I confirmed the reservations pn. Has 9 pictures and 4 are crab legs, When we asked and showed them the pictures, the manager didn’t care and walked away. The food they had was very dry and not worth the money

The quality of the food was not as good as it was during our previous visit. The bread was dry, the meat was overcooked. I do not feel we will dine again at this restaurant unless the reviews of the place improved.

Late dining while staying at hotel. Buffet was average at best. Many choices were empty or dried out. Overall cleanliness of food area was terrible. Service was very slow and took forever to get attention to get drinks. $49.95 is way too expensive for this option. Avoid if possible
