The good? bThe food is awesome! The mashed potatoes tasted fresh, the pineapple was perfectly ripe, there wasn’t a food item I tried I didn’t like! The not so good? Nothing is labeled so unless you know what something is you might not know exactly what you’re getting. Also the women’s bathroom was horrendous! But over all plenty of seating for large groups and reasonably priced for excellent food!

This buffet is pretty good. The ice cream machine is what I like the most, but they always have good fresh food out because it’s always busy and the service is usually very good.

I found three hairs in my food, and I did not enjoy one single thing I ate. even the soft-serve ice cream is bad. you could get a better valued meal at McDonald’s. not only was the food bad, the place was pretty gross. the floor was so sticky in one spot that when I picked up my foot, my shoe literally fell off. when I was here last year, the food was decent, but something must have happened since.

My family and I have been coming here for years and years and we always have a ball. I never had a bad experience. The food is good and they are always putting out fresh. From the grilled steaks, chicken, fried fish and shrimp, the cold food bar and the endless veggie bars, I will always be coming back here. The prices are reasonable and the service is great, even on busy days. Don’t go to that other nasty chain buffet in Manassas. Come here, have a great meal in a clean restaurant with lots of great food.

Me and my boyfriend went to eat here on a busy Saturday night and we had to wait only ten minutes and even got a booth! The food was really good, fresh and I honestly prefer this buffet over Golden Corral. The selection is a lot smaller, but to me the food taste better. The steak was really good and the spaghetti was awesome. The deserts tasted delicious and the waitress was very friendly. She was a bit busy but she made sure plates were taken and refilled our drinks in a timely manner. For the price, you can’t beat it with steak! Definitely will come back!

Really delicious breakfast for just $ 8.99 and $ 2.00 for any beverage. This breakfast is so much better than Golden Corral. Not so crowded like Golden C. and a lot cleaner atmosphere. I will go back again!

Excellent food. Love the wait staff. 4 stars because food is lower grade than before. Each year, there are foods you see getting more and more processed. Brunch omelet is fantastic but waiting while your table has finished their food is saddening. Must go when first being opened or at 1130 during week for freshest food. Chicken on salad is now lunchmeat. Overall, much better than Golden Corral.

We went there at 7 P.M. on a Sunday night. They were out of every premium meat including steak, chicken, pot roast and roast beef. It was two hours before they closed, and they informed me that they would not be putting out any more of any of the items claiming they were ‘out’ of all of them. I asked for the manager and she told me the same that they would not be putting out any more food. This is unacceptable and wrong to be charging full price for a buffet and I am not allowed to get what I paid for. I promptly walked out and will not be going back.

Finally checked this place out; read the reviews people are being a little mean. The tables and bathroom were clean, our hostess was very nice and checked on us often. Food was refreshed often and didn’t appear old. I wouldn’t say this was a cheap place to eat; for 3 adults and 2 children paid under $ 50 with tip and drinks. If you are into super American food, fried chicken, fried catfish, mac&cheese, French fries, iceberg lettuce salad this is the place for you!

We have been going here for quite a while, but only occasionally. It seems to have improved since the last time we were here. The beef was particularly good this time(it was dinner time, later in the evening). My favorite is the steak fajitas(some assembly required!). The apple pie was good this time also, especially supplanted with some extra apple cobbler(I think that is what it was). The same goes for the turnover – they just needed extra apple filling. Of course, I have to «pay» the next day, diet-wise, but it was worth it.

I have been going to this place since I was in elementary school. This place is THE place to just unbutton your pants and grub on with no shame. They used to serve their AMAZING buffalo wings every day, but now they only serve them on the weekends. I highly recommend their chocolate chip cookies and their buffalo wings. I don’t live very close to your restaurant and I very much dislike driving out more than thirty minutes to go eat, but I get these random cravings to drive all the way out to your restaurant over and over again. Highly recommend.

My dad and I go here on occasion. I was surprised there was more chicken and vegetables in the quesadillas than cheese(considering cheese is cheaper.) I like their wings and onion rings. The wings aren’t dry like golden corral. The salad isn’t bad either… but the desserts are great. Definitely going again.

Gross. The food tasted like old leftovers. The service wasn’t any better; all our waitress said when she walked over was«What do you want to drink?» For the $ 27 dollars the two of us spent we could have gone to a real restaurant and eaten fresh food.

Got food poisoning from the Sunday breakfast buffet on 17-Aug-2014. I think that suffices for a review. In contrast to the other restaurants owned by the same company this one does not have a website. So I will call in the incident to the county health department and warn people in reviews.

$ 7.99 for an adult lunch buffet which isn’t too bad. This is American as you can get, from hot dogs, burgers, grilled and fried chicken, fries, onion rings, salad bar, dessert bar, mashed potatoes, tacos, soups, to pizza. Nothing exciting and nothing u can’t make better at home. Some of the food are salty and some are flavorless. This place reminds me of western sizzlers back in the days. This place doesn’t have a lot of food. You got two hot station, a salad bar, and a station to get hot ham and other things like soup. Overall I think it’s ok.

THey have updated the deco, the food is fresh, well presented and of good quality, the staff was attentive, I know it can be bothersome when the place is packed but if you can go at a slow time you’ll have a good time. I recommend it, also the price is right, I compare with what it costs for a «meal» at a fast food joint, and here you can make good food choices.

When I go to a buffet, I want to leave that place thinking«Wow, that was some good stuff and I really got my moneys worth.» Definitely, don’t get that feeling here. Tried this place twice now. First attempt: Food is less than mediocre and bland. Some of the stuff out there looks like leftovers from yesterdays buffet. The only fresh item you will probably get here is their fried chicken. The service is bad. It’ll take you 2 red flags in the air to get their attention. Most of the servers just stand around talking amongst themselves, not doing their job. The manager sees this, but could care less. Second attempt: Figured maybe they were having an off day on my first visit here. So we decided to give this place another shot. Wrong move on my behalf. The food was still dry, old looking, and bland tasting. The service was worse this time around. Going to Golden Corral or Old Country Buffet would probably have been a better move.
