| - I've been dying for this place to open! I was checking their website more than I'd like to admit to see when it would say "Now Open". Alas! The time has come. It's been awhile since Brampton had a non oriental themed buffet. Actually I'm not even sure if we ever had one in the first place but anyways, I finally came here on a Monday night for my gf's bday.
They make you pay upon arrival (kind of like buffets in the states) and you are assigned a table number in a province. They do have many food options and they're all very hearty. I got full quite fast. I won't comment on everything I tried but I'll talk about the stand outs and the not so greats.
STANDOUTS
Roast beef was ammmazing! So tender and full of that roast beef flavour. My friends all agreed it was amazing. Corn bread was surprisingly good. When I grabbed it and touched it on my plate I thought it was going to be dry and hard. To my surprise when I opened it up, it was perfect. Perfect texture and flavour, not hard at all. This is a country buffet, of course this should be on point! I really enjoyed the spaghetti with meat sauce. That was one that I could keep eating and eating. I wish I tried more but I'm kind of a waste at buffets since I can't eat much lol. They do offer you 3 different kinds of pasta and 3 different sauces, meat sauce, alfredo and tomato sauce. Sticky toffee pudding was yummy. I hate pineapples but the upside down pineapple cake was really good. That tells you something. The mini donuts were ok, but I bet they would be better when they're super fresh and hot.
THE NOT SO GREATS
Poutine and pizza were too salty. Cauliflower soup was also too salty, according to my friend. They make steaks to order, which is amazing. Don't know any other buffets that do this. Unfortunately, it wasn't that great, but what do you really expect? I didn't love it, but my friends found it to be ok. I thought it was a little dry and obvz not the best cut. Although, I mentioned some delicious desserts above, their dessert station is REALLY lacking. How do you not have cheesecake?! Is it not country enough?! Ok, I'm calm, but really. Their ice cream machine was also broken on our visit. Like c'mon! Ice cream is an essential part of a buffet experience (for me). They offer 3 flavours of soft serve. Strawberry, chocolate and vanilla. The only flavour working was strawberry (which is the worst flavour to me lol).
This should go under "standouts" but the gentleman clearing plates, Devono, was amazing! i really hope the manager is reading this, because that kid is a keeper. Very polite and hard working. He was the only one I saw clearing people's dishes all evening. He was always coming around and even cleaning tables as soon as patrons left. He was genuinely grateful when we tipped him. He deserved it! When you pay upon entering, there is a prompt on the machine to tip. I declined this. I believe that the tips should go where they are deserved. Devono definitely deserved it and I hope he got to keep it all.
Although there were some cons, I will return. I'm glad I got to come before all the hype begins and the place starts to get rammed. There are a lot of other things I'd like to try and other food I'd like to come back for!
