| - We showed up about 4:30 on a Saturday afternoon, with a couple of missionaries that we were treating to dinner. There were very few people (which is why we like to go to dinner really early or incredibly late).
The adult buffet is $8.25, much less for kids, and even the drinks are quite cheap. For four adults and an 11 yr old it was under $45 -which, by the way, is cheaper than Burger King. They have plenty of seating, from tables and booths for four, some cute little semi-enclosed-seeming booths which would be fun on a double date, high tops, and then big round tables for 6-8 people, and even a giant long banquet-style setup for really big groups.
I really enjoyed the salad bar; there was Romaine, spring mix, spinach, and iceberg to choose from for lettuces. There are many protein and vegetable topping options, along with things many salad bars scrimp on, like cheddar, bacon, hard boiled eggs, cottage cheese and all the crunchy croutons, crackers, etc you might want. The Romaine wasn't the best looking. But the other three were very crisp and cold. The best part, for me, were the dressings. The ranch is fantastic (tastes like when you make Hidden Valley Ranch with Best Foods may? -you know the ranch mix in the packet you make at home? It's a major old-timey comfort food trigger for me) and my husband the bleu cheese dressing snob ...really likes the bleu cheese dressing.
Pizza was plentiful and of great variety. It's neither super thin nor thick crust, and I like the flavor and chewiness of it. There are crazy kinds of pizza and all the standards you'd expect: pepperoni, "hillbilly" (all the meats), BBQ chicken, chicken Alfredo, something like Spud-o-Rama or something like that. More than you can possibly sample and still walk afterwards. They even do a "customer request" so if there's something you can think of that they don't have, I expect you could ask for it.
I loved the DIY pasta bar; 6-7 kinds of pasta (which is al dente and they do a quick dip and strain so it's fresh) and at least that many kinds of sauce, and four bins of cheeses to top them with. Yummm.
There are garlic knots and cheese bread and such.
Then... the dessert pizzas -oh. my. goodness. I wish I could have had more. I tried the smallest available pieces of Raspberry, cookie dough, & cinnamon sugar, but they also had apple, peach, I don't know what-all. Sooooooo delicious. Soooooo sooooo delicious.
They have the "good" ice and you do your own free drink Refills. A very cheerful staff was extremely eager to please and swept away plates and offered to help continually, then asked sincerely on our way out, how had we liked it?
It was a great, super casual, family-friendly, incredibly inexpensive place to enjoy dinner and friends. I recommend it for just such an occasion.
