Yall, this was our first time going and we live local so its a shame it took us so long! The food all tasted amazing and fresh. The onion rings were OMG! The prices for the amount of food was insane! We had enough for our meal plus dinner that night! Their salad bar was well stocked and very fresh. My son loved their beef vegetable soup too. Can't wait to go again and try their breakfast buffet.
