This place is a very unique place. The atmosphere is so relaxing. The food is always being filled up and made. I haven't seen one thing that I didn't like in this restaurant. The food, people, service and etc. Is incredibly perfect. We drove an hour out from Tennessee to eat here. They've got a whole isle for sushi lovers, hibachi, salad, seafood, American food, and more if I forgot anything else. This place is very worth the long-distance drive for those that live an hour plus out.

Very good restaurant. Great atmosphere, super clean, super organized. Very well run and managed. This is one of busiest restaurants I have been to and just surprised how controlled the flow is. The food is very good and refills very quick on buffet bar. Just wow. I have not tried their sushi yet.

What a great buffet! I am not a buffet fan, but my hubby is, so we tried this place for dinner tonight. I was pleasantly surprised.....tons of items to choose from on the buffet, including seafood, Chinese dishes, a huge salad bar, steaks, roast beef, mac and cheese, fresh rolls, soups, etc. Plus, there is a hibachi grill and a sushi bar to choose from as well. They also have a good selection of desserts, including soft serve ice cream. The servers kept our beverages filled and were great at refilling the buffet and keeping things spotlessly clean. Will definitely go back again.

Only issue I had was the fact they put a 20% tip in with my total and when I ask where the total was highlighted the total with the tip which was 18 for three of us. I tip better when I’m not forced to tip. This has been done a number of other times at different places, paying attention will save you money! Over all great food, they were packed out so it was hard getting to the buffet. They also have water dripping from the ceiling near the air conditioning vents.

Food was excellent!! Many choices. Great dessert selection. Wait staff a bit slow. Prices were good. Went just before noon. Food was fresh and plentiful.

Clean, peaceful, wonderful service. Affordable. I was amazed at the fresh selection. I wouldn’t come during dinner as to avoid the crowds but for a weekday lunch it was perfect. I almost cried tears of joy when I saw they had plantains and they did not disappoint. The food was good and I didn’t feel heavy afterwards! I plan on bringing my sweet grandpa who loves a good buffet here. Makes me wish when Golden Corral was good back in the early 2000s.

Yummy Chinese buffet! The vegetable egg rolls were delish and I had a very nostalgic moment dipping Chinese donuts in soft serve (try it and you'll see!). The only available broccoli was mixed with chicken, so that was disappointing as a vegetarian, but the sauteed green beans were a decent replacement. My husband loved one of the desserts but we had no idea what it was - whipped cream with pudding and cookies? He had two servings! It was pretty packed and clearly popular, but I could have done without the super loud, obnoxious teens sitting at the booth behind me, but that's not the restaurant's fault. Overall, a great place and we will be back when we're in town again!
