Simply put, you can put frosting on a dog turd, but at the end of the day… it’s still a dog turd. Nice people own this place and I hope one day they get all the wrinkles straightened out. But at this time in history, there is too much wrong here. For staters, the décor and ambiance of the place is just above a cafeteria style environment. I get it, it’s an «all you can eat» buffet, but that shouldn’t mean that we should accept less comfort than your home. Secondly and more egregious, is the position/location of the beverage station. It’s designed to back up to one of the primary buffet lanes, so there is the constant dance with other patrons, that serves to be more annoying than productive. As for the food, its uninspired, under seasoned and as flavor filled as a can of La Choy Chow Mein. The sushi looked sad and ill prepared, the hibachi grill was ready to go, yet no one used it either time I visited… and that silence frightened me. Sadly, the only thing of any value was the pudding/cookie combo I created in hopes of satisfying my pallet in some way. Overall, the experience isn’t what I had hoped for, especially for $ 35 for 3 of us, which is really sad, cause this area of town is HUNGRY for some diversity in the landscape, there is only so many Applebee’s one can consume.
