Our waitress Sharon was so welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food was very good with a lot of options. Our only complaint is that most of the food was not hot. Some was warmish and some cold but definitely needs to be addressed as it takes away from such good food. It may also be a good idea to add some desserts to the buffet. Thanks for the experience.

Very expensive, food was very good, very tasty, but cold ... restaurant was dead, maybe 3 tables. Waiter was very nice, seemed to be doing everything while everyone else stood around. No one ever offered to help him. Made it a point to mention my son's birthday 3 times... it was never acknowledged, missing food items that are listed online ...

Was really hyped up and excited to try here.Got there early. They werent busy so got us in right away. Got us seated at a table. Had to wait about about 5 mins for server to take our drink order. Said sorry took so long short staffed. I noticed there was only about 8 or 9 tables total in use which was abour 1 hour before close. I actually counted like 6 wait staff. Not sure how that constitutes short staffed. During the night i notoced most of them just talking with the other wait staff rather then providing servoce. A great variety of food but everything was bland. Brisket coccked with no bbq sauce? But a section of about 15 bottles of bbq sauce for you to decide what to use. All in their manufactured bottles afterwards. Also another section of like 10 hot sauces. I dont even think they seasoned anything with salt and pepper. Just seemed like a hodge podge of stuff thrown together. Is it bad when the best thing at a bbq and smokehouse was the carrots or mushrooms. In the pics of the food on google, alot of people show pics of sort of marshmallows dessert, however indidnt see it in the biffet. I was advised that all dessert is available but not included in the cost. When bill was brought, i was asked cash orndo i needachiem. I asked for machine. They actually took my card and put it in the machine for me then handed back to me. Did they think i didnt know how to use a debit/credit card machine. Just seemed weird to me. Wish i didn't have as high expectations as i did for this place. Definitely wont be returning.

I wish we could give less than 1 star. Over $100 for 2 people with waters, no dessert, leaving needing an imodium. Wanted to try this place for a long time but we were super disappointed. Dry, left out food, and barely any options for a buffet. Our old plates sat, I dont know how, as they were way over staffed. Couldnt even attempt to eat my moneys worth. Try Taco Tequila 2 mins away, never disappoints.

This was by far one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had and am truly embarrassed to have taken my boyfriend here for his birthday. For the price and location, I was definitely expecting a good if not great experience. The food selection was minimal, although the brisket was good the rest of the meat selection was not, pulled pork was vinegary, chicken had minimal beat and all the food was cold. The sliders tasted like they had beed cooked multiple times And the fries were cold and stale. Not even the buns were warm. There were maybe 5/6 other tables there and it took 10 mins just to put in our drink order. The restaurant was freezing cold and the over all environment felt grungy. I’ve been to roadside diners better than this place. For the 120$ price tag for two people, we will not be back and do not recommend. By far better options in the area for the same or better price.

I gave it one star because you do g have a zero star option. Food was almost inedible, service below average. I would not go back even if the food was free.
