Reviews

$27 for 2 (drinks included) for Thursday lunch.
Wide variety of nice appearing dishes to choose from.
Several versions of shrimp and fish.
I tried a bit of quite a few.
Everything fried was greasy, except for the chicken fingers, which were a bit dry (I did get 2nds, though).
Fried fish filet and fried fish steak (with bones) were greasy but did have a good flavor.
I had seconds on the fish steaks.
Crayfish was one of the few dishes that may have been at the proper temperature but didn't have much flavor.
The green beans, perhaps the only "hot" vegetable, were room temperature at best.
The desert bar was weak, and there was no ice cream 😢.
Guess that is a lot of negatives, but I would be willing to go back.


It’s sadly gone downhill in the last few years.
Dry and burnt is how I’d overall describe my experience.
They’ve been lazy on the sauces for the teppanyaki


Absolutely disgusting.
Got take out buffet tonight at about 8pm, 90 minutes before close.
I knew I should of walked away by how old the food way.
Spent 17 bucks on a box of food and a drink to go.
Chicken was so tough I couldn't slice it with a metal fork.
Made me sick after a few bites.
