   Thoroughly enjoyed both Southern Oak Bar and Grill for dinner and Southern Oak for the buffet breakfast. The buffet is spectacular and service in both establishments wonderful! We were delighted, impressed and will certainly be back.

   Third year to enjoy Thanksgiving there. The food choices, food quality, and service have always been outstanding. Always recommend to friends but many think it is too expensive. However, we find that you could not get a better meal at a better restaurant, with all of the food choices, for a better price.

   It is your basic breakfast buffet. It is ok, no more no less. I was expecting a brunch type dining experience. There are so many nice Sunday brunch/ lunch places in the area. We were hotel guest and I thought this would be convenient but still “nice”. If you just want breakfast and someone to drop the check on the table as soon as you start eating. Sure, go it’s fine. If you want a nice Sunday brunch experience it’s not for you.

   The restaurant was way understaffed, therefore the service was slow. The food was average at best and the atmosphere was "old country club"!

    The food is really good with nice portions. Nice selection too. Knowing they were short staffed the night we were there, they did a good job doing their best with timing of food and drinks (I imagine it would have been better if they had the proper staffing). I would definitely go there again.

    Nnon existent server who struggled all night. Had to get him to find him and forgot to ask for temps on steaks. Brought out wrong food once. Food had zero flavor and we were sat next to the hotel breakfast buffet. Did not acknowledge the special occasion and we ended up going out two days later to celebrate it since this was so bad. Also, a wedge salad doesn’t need to be in a lopsided bowl where you can’t cut it without flipping the bowl over. The biscuit appetizer was burnt

    The food is average at best and overpriced. They had 3 servers on duty 2 were taking care of a large party and 1 had the rest of the tables. My biggest complaint is that I was overcharged. I asked for the check to be split between 2 credit cards. The total was $195 $60 on 1 card and $135 on another card. I was actually charged $195 on 1 card and $135 on the other plus I left a $40 tip. I have called and left messages 3 times without a call back. Very disappointing and substandard for a high end Marriot property.

    Nice restaurant and although I had reservations, they were not needed. The appetizer were great! The food was good, but the cook doesn’t understand what medium means. Our steaks were well done. To be honest, Longhorn serves a much better steak at a fair price.

    We went with Mother's Day reservations at 1:30 p.m., not realizing that it was a buffet. We also did not realize it was $69 per person. If that was posted somewhere, none of us saw it. Most of the food was lukewarm or congealed, and not very exciting. The meat carving was novice. The table service was virtually non-existent; we had plates stacked on our table without being cleared. The one drink we ordered was a Bloody Mary. It was brought to us room temperature with no garnish. We sent it back and got the same drink with ice cubes added. This was our first time here, so I have no idea if this is typical, or perhaps a one-time issue due to low staffing. Even though there was plenty of room to spread out, we were seated right next to another family. The one bright spot was that we struck up an enjoyable conversation with them. Overall, I really feel like our family of three spent $250 to be almost insulted by poor food and bad service.

    The most over priced ($69.99 per person) buffet I have ever had in my life! The food was mediocre at best and they were understaffed (but doing the best they could to keep up with drink orders etc). The omelets were great but the rest of the buffet was nothing to write home about and we felt like it was highway robbery for this family of 4!

    I had no idea of the per person cost of the Mother’s Day brunch. It was $69 per person. One could say I should have checked but I thought even $40 unwarranted and suspected something less than that. My bill was a shock. I will never again trust this establishment as I did yesterday. The bill spoiled the entire day and still annoys me.

    We didn't actually get to eat in the restaurant. Graduation weekend so they changed it to a buffet, $50pp, and put us into a banquet hall that was empty, except 5 other tables at 6;45. Total price gauging.

    We dined at Southern Oak on Thanksgiving while visiting our Student at Auburn. I didn't expect much. Not a real eat out on a holiday person. Soooo pleasantly surprised. The staff was incredibly sweet. Giving up their own holiday I thought perhaps a bit disgruntled but absolutely the ppposite. Thank You all. Also the food was delicious. Don't tell my sister but it was the Best Turkey we've had in a very long time!!! All the sides were lovely and the shrimp and oysters were a nice treat. Dessert was just Ok. But we were sooo full it didn't matter!!! Thanks again. We will be back in the future for sure.
