They have such a great variety of different foods, but the crab legs by far are the best!! This buffet is a must if you love seafood (especially crab legs)!! Dominic, our waiter was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, so kind and efficient!!

My immediate expectations were low as we were brought to a table that was dirty. The ground was visibly covered in milk and food before we even reached our table, and the table and chair were clearly dirty. No one offered to clean it off so we did it ourselves. Other than that, the service was good and the food was great.

EXCELLENT crab buffet, plus lots of other foods to choose from. Service is always good (not great). All tables and chairs, unfortunately they don’t have booths. All in all, if you love crab this is definitely the place to go!!

Stood in line waiting for more crab legs to come out, after waiting for about 5 minutes was told by staff that it will be about 5 minutes before more came out. I only went up once and got 2 clusters as soon as many people on line and wanted everyone to get some. Not worth the $40 this time.

The food was all pretty ishy, the waitress never checked on us or gave us refills and I don't feel like we got that great of a deal. We would have preferred to go to the steak house if it wasn't closed for the evening. Very disappointed mostly in the food.

I love BBB I go every Thursday. Yes sometimes I have to wait for the crab but it is cooked to perfection. It is worth the time.

After entering the buffet first set of people we had to wait for them to bring crab out, guessing the goal is for you to fill up on other stuff, very annoying. Worst crab buffet I have ever been at, should not have to stand in line waiting for crab for a half a hour when that is supposed to be the main event. Wait staff is great!
