Buffets near Catoosa

“We went for the Thanksgiving buffet...because I don't eat Turkey (or chicken), and they offered prime rib, ham, pork loin, mahi mahi and salmon alternatives. The good...the summer squash bisque was awesome...and not made with Chicken stock like other restaurants often due with almost all their soups. The variety was great, and every thing was hot and fresh. They will give you what you ask for, so if you want more, ask for it. The desert options rocked, with individual crème brûlée, pumpkin cheesecake, pecan pie, sweet potato pie, pumpkin pie, plus staples like apple pie, cobbler, bread pudding, shortcakes, and ice cream...and there was also chocolate cake and a peanut butter stack...and I'm sure I missed a few.... There was a giant bowl of peel and eat shrimp, a salad selection and some select Asian dishes too. I also liked the fact we got it portion ourselves.. the plates were smaller than regular dinner plates, but you could portion as much or as little as you wanted...versus the individual plates for every dish they had during Covid. I think this also reduced food waste, so it was better for everyone. The bad... a bit pricey at $35/person, but a heck of a lot cheaper than if I spent all day cooking. Food wise the only issue I had with anything I ate was the pastry on their cream cheese ragoon...it was the wrong texture/lacked the usually crisp/kind of grainy...but that was it, everything else I had was spot on Server was very attentive and kept our plates cleared and glasses full, and the food servers I talked to were equally friendly and responsive to ingredient inquiries. For their thanksgiving feast..I thought they did an awesome job!!!“

“They advertise All you can eat steak dinner and then we got there the guy that serve the meat says one piece of meat only that thing was the side of a McDonald's burger don't think I will go back if I want vegetables food I go to Walmart and get the salad“

“For $15 a person I would think maybe a drink should be included but I guess I can understand how some of those fat people will suck down soda faster than a duck eating a June bug. A nice big open area with a big selection of foods, though I asked about crab legs but they just had these nasty blue crab legs and the shrimp had a lot to be desired. After I sampled a few things I found the things that I did like and I was very happy.Kid-friendliness: Too kid friendly, I would have smacked a couple of kids and told them to sit down and be quiet if I ran the place. Well maybe just told the parents to control their kids or get the hell out.“
