My 12 year old nephew wanted to come here for his birthday. They have a kids price that goes until age 12 so it was nice to get a discount. Especially since he only eats one plate of food.This place is very large and has a lot of food options that was very impressive. The tables were clean and you have a server that will fill up your drinks. It is buffet style, so you do serve yourself. I found the BBq pork was amazing, while the mac n cheese was overcooked. So many options of food, that its hard to pick. What i had was decent. Some great, some of it okay. Nothing terrible. It's good for a buffet, better than most places. My nephew was over the moon, they had cotton candy and ice cream for dessert (and so many other options) the prices seemed to be fair. Although, buffet is not really my style, my nephew loved it and I can see why people would enjoy it. I would recommend it to others.I wish I didn't have a big bag, I would not felt comfortable leaving my bag at the table while I got food. So I would recommend either having someone at the table to watch your purse of avoid bringing a purse. - Hannah T
