  Very nice atmosphere after remodel. Service and food was excellent. The hostess greated us promptly and was friendly. Our waitress was amazing. She was so friendly and attentive even having a handful of tables to wait. Food was fresh and hot. They were bringing out new batches often. New items have been added to the buffet such as steak which was delicious. Shame to hear of the other poor reviews but can definitely say we'll be back. They also have about 5 different types of shrimp which is amazing.

  I miss the waitresses who worked there when it was Joyce Lee, they were friendlier and provided better service...my daughter and I went there for lunch on Wed. 5/15/19...my daughter paid so when the waitress handed her the check, which was $19.46, my daughter handed her a $20 and said to keep the change...the waitress asked her if she had 46 cents and my daughter said she didn't and the waitress kept repeating how much the bill was so my daughter just handed over her debit card...the waitress brought back her debit card and stood over my daughter watching her sign it...my daughter wrote the total of $19.46 and in a very loud voice, the waitress said, "You're not leaving a tip? Really?! You're not leaving a tip?" Then we were so embarrassed and walked out as fast as we could. Now, the reason we didn't tip her was because she wasn't friendly and only refilled our drinks once. That was the first time we had never left a tip but she didn't do anything to earn one. We had been dining there since my girls were little when it was still Joyce Lee and never had bad service, in fact I have never been to a restaurant where the staff demands a tip. It was so humiliating that unfortunately, we won't be returning and were loyal customers for over 9 years!! Needless to say I called the manager as soon as we were in my car and she assured me it was not their policy to demand tips and that she would talk to her. What a shame but it only takes 1 bad experience to lose customers!!

  The remodeling is nice although the bathroom needs work still (also the smell). I suspect the men's room is similar. The food should be much warmer/hotter. Items were refilled often, which was great, but the temperature didn't last long. Mixing the "old" food with the fresh food threw the temperature off too. Turn up the warmers? Nice to see some new items and different versions of some of the usual items. New owners are very nice. Very nice to see some familiar faces of the servers. Lots of refills, with fresh cup each time. It was really busy too, which makes me happy for the owners. Overall, it's better than what it was when it was Joyce Lee Buffett, but there's room for improvement. Will return soon and watch for things to be even better!

  We visited yesterday, 3/7/2019, and the food was good. Everything was hot and fresh. The place was remodeled - new flooring and booths are newer. The buffet had some new items and some old ones, but everything was very good and we had great service, too. Try it for yourself and you be the judge!
