We went there to celebrate our anniversary and our daughter's birthday on March 17th 2019. We arrived at approximately 1130 and the buffet was in ruins. No plates, no eggs, no potatoes, no gravy, no service, 3 biscuits and little else. Whoever decided that grits should have sugar in them needs to be drawn and quartered. We got a little (very little) food and decided we could come back for more. We waited for over and hour and never saw them bring more that a couple of servings of food at a time to the buffet line. No waffles, no omelettes and pastries that rival those in a package from the Mrs. Bairds store. Then to top it off, they decided to tear down the buffet at 1:45. A full 45 minutes before it was supposed to close. I had heard great things about this place and drove over from Longview to have our celebration. Needless to say, I will not be back. Had I read all of the negative reviews before going, I would have never gone there. If this keeps up, I will be surprised if they are still in business this time next year. With all of the dining choices we have in the area, you need more than just lakeside seating to attract customers.
