“ I went here for the first time today 03/2926. The food, the atmosphere, the people working here, everything was excellent. I like calm atmosphere, it was family oriented, and relaxing. The food was top notch, and I appreciate that they kept some of the dishes covered. This kept them hotter, and prevented drying out. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good meal. The lunch buffet was $19.99, and it was worth every penny. ”
