| - The Roundtable Buffet was an excellent deal at $25/all day but the quality was mediocre at best. We had a member of our party with a food allergy and we specifically emailed them weeks in advance to find out how their food was prepared and to say they were less than honest would be an understatement. Of course, we didn't find this out until we were into the dinner service and the member of our party happened to notice a piece of shellfish which she is severely allergic to in a salad that she was told should be safe.
Regardless of the allergy issues, If you've ever been to Hometown Buffet or Golden Corral, you'll have an expectation of the quality of food you'll be receiving. It's not mind-blowing, but it's not terrible either. The quality is sufficient and they seem to do a decent job at rotating things as they become old or empty.
In terms of the management of volume, they were completely unprepared to deal with the amount of people at the dinner service. They had 4 buffet bars total, but only had one open and the line was out the door to even get in, then again long to get any food on the buffet, and terribly long if you wanted to get anything at the "cutting station".
The floors in the little rooms where you self-serve drinks were sticky and you had to double-check your cups as one batch we noticed didn't appear to be completely clean.
Overall, if you're willing to save a few bucks and don't have any food allergies, the Roundtable may be for you. The $25/day deal can't be beat, just be sure you're diligent while visiting this aging buffet.
