Without thinking, we visited during their Easter Brunch and were told the buffet was our only choice. However, upon asking about vegan options on the buffet, they offered to make us something with one of their plant based protein options.The food was delicious and very flavorful with a unique, somewhat zesty taste. Additionally, the entire staff was friendly and very attentive.

They were super accommodating to our party of 15 today, and everyone's food was spot on. I thought the prices were very reasonable as well. We'll be back for sure!

Love the food. Service is usually good. (I think out of ten visits one time service was little lazy, but may have been an off day for the server- we all have them) typically we stop in at off meal times, so pretty empty atmosphere - but that the way my wife and I like it, part of why we don't go out at typical meal times. most recent visit was just before the sweet corn fest parade, was surprised it wasn't busy, but everyone probably at the festival already. Dinning room typically clean, restrooms can be a different story, just do yourself the favor of eating first, in case you loose your appetite.

We went to a breakfast buffet for our 50th class reunion. The food and service was great! They even have pepper bushes such as jalapeños, ghost peppers and habenera to pick for your meal on the back patio. It was a good experience.
