There are always tons of choices at this buffet! And variety galore from soups, salads, fruits, Asian, seafood, American, and everything in between! Top it off with a visit to the dessert area and your set! There is no reason to leave this place hungry or dissatisfied. Have fun giving it it a try. You won't regret it. The service is quick with beverages to your table.

I was very satisfied with the food that I had here. I appreciate the discount offered for members, the wait was less than 10 minutes for our fairly large group, and even though I wasn't very hungry, the small sample of stuff that I did have was tasty, warm, and fresh. If I'm ever back in the area and circumstances dictate that I end up here, I will rest easy knowing that it's a solid choice all around.

Very bad buffet for Friday night . The food is cold and nothing was fresh. Even the fruits. It used to be good few years ago. But right now it's bad. They need to make good food if they wants to charge $25 a person. The food quality currently worth nothing

Most of the food was good. Crab legs were refilled immediately when low. Had 3 different places with the crab legs..that was very nice so people aren't standing in line forever. We arrived at 3:15 on Sunday (seafood night). Waited about 40 minutes and was one of the first ones in. If you are not there on time, they will fill up and wait list you.

Average food, no lines (we went on a Tuesday night). Deserts were splendid. Potatoes O’brien were good, Yukon Gold not so much. Prime rib was good. Service was excellent. They took our spent plates away immediately, so we did not have to look at them.

Save your money for the slots! The food would get 0 stars if that would be option. Excellent service from the waiter, I would give him 5 stars!

The food is pretty good. Something for everyone when trying to get many people together. Seafood nights are really well worth the price. The customer service at the register and hostess podium could be improved.

The $160 spent was wasted. It was my first time going there and I was very disappointed. Although the waiters and staff were very nice and professional, the experience wasn't. The floors were dirty and had food on them. Also, the foods I had were very salty and either overcooked, not seasoned enough or not cooked long enough. The noodles I had was very chewy and flavorless. They said that the food was fresh but it didn't taste like it. And most people I saw were only eating the crab legs and that's it.

Best buffet in Minnesota boundaries. Would be 5 stars, but the price is steep. Would recommend especially the crab leg buffet on Sunday. Usually there is a long line, so arrive early.

Depending on the date and time of your visit, you can have multiple experiences here. I believe during holidays, which serve all day without closing, the omelette bar closes at three. The omelette bar is thee best food at the entire buffet. The rest of the buffet is pretty consistent in offerings. The food quality is consistent, so you just have to jump around and find the foods that suit you. You should be able to find something for even the pickiest of eaters. Desserts are hit or miss. They rarely have their best desserts available. They mix it up a little too much. Beverage service is usually top tier through the first three or four plates. Then, it kinda of hits the fan.
