We arrived at opening for the day. We were able to eat breakfast or lunch. We had breakfast. The food was okay. Service was fine. Food is overpriced. $24 each for our meal.

Waiting 2 1/2 hrs in line, out of mostly curiosity, to find a virtually empty buffet at 9:00pm was an experience we’ll never repeat. They supposed serve until 11:00pm but that’s pure fiction. The restaurant ceased filling the buffet by 9:00 and what they did have was abysmal. The restroom, to wash our hands before eating, was trashed as well. Best advice- forget this place!

I’ve only been twice, and both times it was just amazing. And the food is so delicious. Prime rib and steak were season and cook so well, I didn’t need any sauce, which is the way I love my steak. My cousin had the shrimp, and said it was some of the best shrimp he’s had in a while. Well worth the wait.

The food was absolutely disgusting. The only thing that tasted decent was the catfish but there was very little of that to go around. I had to get burger king on the way out because the buffet was so awful.

This place got a 2.8 star in Oklahoma. Even in Oklahoma’s standard, this place is terrible. Do yourself a favor, don’t go. The choices were limited. Only crab legs available but no oyster, clams or other food as they advertised on their website.

We went here Sunday afternoon, food was ok but they let it run empty on alot of items and didn’t put more out, we paid 48 dollars to eat here, you can go to golden corral and eat for half as much and get 3x the variety, we were not impressed probably won’t go back

I have been there about 7 times now on different days and times of the week (seafood, steak, breakfast& brunch) When coming during the evening usually got there around 7:30-8 pm and yes there was a line but it moved quickly with us being in the regular one (not the elite). The food was always good and the service also! I haven’t gotten sick at any of those times. Enjoy the vegetable selection and steak very good! Thank you!
