It was very quiet for lunch time. The service was prompt and polite. The food was hot and really well done. We had the ribeye sandwich and a double mushroom Swiss. I was impressed.

On this visit we had the buffet. The salad bar was fresh and well stocked. The pizza good as well but no thin crust. The chicken and egg rolls were very tasty. The Asian was very good and there was desserts also! On our initial visit the spaghetti and chicken Alfredo were excellent and you can bet we will be back again.

Food was excellent, wait staff was friendly and it was comfortable inside. Just a small skip out of town and you're there. I highly recommend checking them out and showing some support for their new location.
