First and last time here food was old and nasty have never left a buffet still hungry and I be lucky to not leave with food poisoning from such slop 

Business response:

Jennifer, we're sorry you had a bad experience! We change over to our dinner buffet at 4 pm so everything should have been fresh. We are, however, really slow from about 2-4 which lowers the turnover rate on the buffet but we always try to make sure our customers know that if something isn't how you want it we are more than happy to cook it fresh for you and we have done this on many occasions. Once again, we apologize and hope you will try us again sometime.

BRING BACK ALL YOU CAN EAT CRAB LEGS!!!!!!!!!!! Only good thing about our visit tonight was the wonderful waitress! 

Business response:

If you had come in last Saturday it would have been a completely different story. When the Arkansas Razorbacks play in the evening we are a lot slower. =) I always try to respond to people's reviews, comments or posts because we truly do value our customers opinions. We've already discussed how we can try and make things better. If you have any questions or concerns in the future please let us know; it's our goal to have as few 1 star ratings as possible. Thanks for your feedback and we always appreciate prayers!

The only things good about this place are the crab legs. The white fish. And the gumbo that's it. The shrimp tasted nasty the veggies were greasy. The fried corn tasted old. The hush puppies were mushy and grey inside. It was just nasty. I will not be going back ever. Too over priced. The quality of the food is horrible. ��� 

Business response:

We're sorry you had a bad experience! We buy the top of the line for all our seafood and only cook it in peanut oil. We sincerely hope you'll try us again sometime.
