We had a great time we asked to be moved and this was accommodated. We asked because one member of our party has hip issues. Very grateful.

The food was described as the worst buffet my husband ever had. The kids didn’t even like the pizza. The ice cream was melted . The chicken was incredibly dry. Even the fruit platter and dessert tray was sad. Would not recommend anyone going to this buffet.

Found service to be good but slow. Corn on cob not cooked enough. Very chewy. Should be a second main dish to compliment roast beef. Mixed salad should have more toppings available.

This was our first time trying the Buffet. Great service from the staff. The Buffet was terrible for the the price we paid. Very poor selection of food items, plus very small Buffet for the price of $45.00.

Overall experience was a little disappointing. There were very few drinks available and the drink my friend got had rotten lime and mint in it. The food tasted fine however 3 out of 4 in our party had stomach issues later that night. On the positive side the racing was fun.
