| - So I've been here twice within 3 days and not because I wanted to. I'm not a fan of buffets for my lack of self control. LOL Monday I brought my daughter and her friend for lunch. Immediately you are greeted by all the employees "Welcome to Cici's!". Pretty nice little greeting I must say. The girl at the cashier asked "how many" and I said 3. As I started to ask about the child rate she handed me a receipt that said 3 adults. I simply asked her what was the age for the child rate. She in turn asked me how old the girls were. I replied that both of them are 11 and in passing asked "oh is the age 10 and under" and she replied back "no its 11 and under". She proceeded to look past me to help the next customer and I shook my head and decided to just dismiss that whole convo. Challenging stupidity doesn't make for a good lunch with my girls.
We quickly found our seats and the girls were up and at em. We each grabbed a tray. A couple of the dishes I picked up were dirty so I just set them to the side. The pasta is one of my favorite simple things however when I got up there the pasta needed refilled. I asked the girl behind the counter if they knew their pasta needed refilled. She replied "yes" and continued with her pizzas not even headed to the pasta to see what I was referring to. Instead she addressed some "regular" customers behind me-hence the immediate dismissal of the question. Kinda awkward to say the least. Finally 10 minutes later it was refilled. Sigh.
They serve pasta salad, salad, soup, corkscrew pasta with red and white sauce, breadsticks & garlic knots, a plethora of pizza and a few dessert options. Their food is what it is....a really cheap family buffet. With that said the pizzas leave a lot to be desired, don't have much cheese or meat, have a lot of dough but is all good for the carb-evore in you! This place really should be named CiCi's CARB Buffet! Its a bread lovers dream! You seriously need to put in some cardio time after eating here.
The place is pretty beat up. The walls, floors and tables are scuffed up and chipped. Its definitely a place to bring all the children and your neighbors children. You can tell they all have been here! LOL There are TVs mounted up high that had children shows on them. You cant hear the sound so I'm always not sure why restaurants even bother. There is a small arcade in the back that the kids love. There's a community board that has a few things posted but looks all greasy from little hands touching it. Another dirty detail.
Now while the girls were spending their couple dollars on the arcade I was checking in on my handy dandy YELP app on my phone. While I sit there and observe the chaos around me, my eyes found there way up the wall in slow motion.... Eeek! The Health Department grade! Like an elephant in the room-how did I miss it when it was right in front of me the whole time I was eating! I can say I'm not surprised however at the same time I'm not even sure if I had ever seen a C Grade in person. Hm. That's right Graded a C! Thank goodness it was after we ate because that is a sure turn off to me regardless of the details. I do watch Restaurant Impossible! LOL
On a side note, at the end of our meal the manager came over to ask if everything was to our satisfaction. I decided not to bother to inform him of the awkward and lazy service from his employees. I think the place is run with super young people with lack of guidance possibly. He was just a baby himself-or I'm just old. I beg to differ. LOL
Needless to say, I will not be back anytime soon. This is only a "when I have to" place to eat - category of Chuck E Cheese. LOL. I will for sure be checking the grade next time though with curiosity of an upgrade! ;)
