| - Three of us (Kathy R. my wife Carol and I) decieded to try this place because I wanted to eat healthier. Now I am well aware that just because we went to a salad buffet that doesn't mean all the food on it is healthly.
I like salad, so automatically I like this place. It really isn't anything spectacular as salad buffets go but it was good. Right now I'm on a health kick and got Kat and my wife to agree too make healthy choices from the salad bar selections.
The salad bar had all the usual offerings for this type of establishment: spinach, romaine, butter/red lettuce, Cesar salad, crunchy celery, olives, cucumbers, croutons, cheese, assorted dressings, chopped hard boiled eggs,corn, peas, assorted pasta salads, olives, jalapeƱos, sweet peppers, broccoli - I could go on and on but You get the picture
.
Once you go through the salad bar and you get seated, a server takes your drink order and delivers it to the table then you can go get some soups, corn bread, breadsticks, baked potato, tacos,desserts, pizza, etc. . I did not try all these extras but did have two bowls of the soup. Yes I was being good today. Most people fool themselves into thinking that a salad bar is healthy, and it can be, but add the desserts, breads & muffins, pasta, soups & pizza bread and people are just fooling themselves or are in denial.
FOOD: The salad and the pasta are always so nice and fresh to me! Nothing's ever wilted or dry. The soups are really good. Yes this is a chain restaurant but they offer fresh, healthy, nutritious choices and even though it can get busy, the food does not run out. All the salads were but remember add salad dressings, soup bar, pizza wedges, assorted baked goods like corn bread and muffins, and dessert bar (bread pudding, self-serve ice cream). croutons and you're probably taking in more fat and calories than a Big Mac & fries . Other Cons: - no meat, besides some chicken pieces in their salad or chicken noodle soup. There is lots of simple carbs, very little protein, and low in nutrients. Everything was fresh and tasted good. PRICE: Decent prices. SERVICE: After we got seated the waitress immediately came by for our drink selections. Later she cleared plates from our table and kept asking about refiling our drinks. AMBIENCE: clean. I mean it can get packed sometimes, but they still kept everyting clean. No messy tongs or what not in this location. There was some bits of food laying on the floor and the counter but that is because they were busy waiting on tables and did I say they were busy. Once they wern't they =got right back to the cleaning again. CONCLUSION: Everything's fresh and tasty, but they aren't too quick to remove your plates or refill drinks when your done or go for more. This restaurant is an all-you-can-eat place with average food, but don't get me wrong I'm not complaining. RETURN FACTOR:Definitely coming back! :)
