Was there for Thanksgiving buffet and I was very grateful for the wonderful experience. I do not usually go out for the holiday and have always done the cooking. Nice change of pace and excellent quality. Thank you for a memorable and delicious meal! Great meal and service.

Pretty dang good Thanksgiving buffet. We’ll go again. Desserts maybe the weak link. Hey, you don’t s’pose that’s because I was over served on everything else by dessert time, do you? 🤔 But seriously, if a buffet on Thanksgiving is in your wheelhouse, this was a darn good one.

The food and service were amazing our waitress Heidi was incredible. Management came around several times to make sure we didn’t need anything. It was very crowded so the noise level was pretty high, but that’s OK.
