| - Incredibly disappointing, especially for the money. A group of 7 adults and 2 kids came in on Christmas eve for my father in law's birthday. I was sure I couldn't eat enough meat to make the $45 buffet price worth it so I opted for the salad bar at $25 I believe. The salad bar was to come with hot items as well as a salad bar. The hot items included incredibly salty black beans, white rice, and a chicken dish (maybe carbanara??) which was just okay. They had three types of lettuce mixes and a pre-mixed ceasar which was not bad. There were cooked/chilled veggies including mushrooms and zucchini as well as a pasta salad, potato salad, and apple salad. The salad bar overall was nothing special and I would say that Ruby Tuesday actually has more options and is no where near the price. Nothing was labeled, it would be helpful to know what we were eating in advance. We were told there would be over 40 types of meats plus sides for the full price. We were brought out the fried bananas and garlic mashed potatoes (2 sides of each), neither were refreshed even after the potatoes were finished. There were fewer than 15 meat options actually offered, several duplicates. My husband found that most of the options lacked flavor or were fatty, only really enjoying the Parmesan chicken and prime rib. We were offered a free desert for the birthday, my father in law opted for the creme brulee, which was fine, nothing special. Overall every person in our party was disappointed with the food and we had frequently flag down servers for food or service throughout the meal. This does not even begin to compete with Fogo and I would not recommend it to anyone. The decor is really sad, you can tell it is in an old Elephant Bar because none of the decor has changed and it desperately is in need of some updates/upgrades.
