The only thing redeeming them was they actually had pretty tasty and fresh raw oysters and clams. Other than that it was a pretty trashexperience.

And to make matters worst upon departure the waitress demanded a tip. Even though we paidupon entry and put gracious 20% tip on the ticket. Will not be returning. And strongly advise anyone to steer clear of thismonstrosity of a buffet!

Young children routinely run full speed chasing each other in and out of the buffet tables. Parents do nothing about it. This has been the case the last severaltimes we have been there. Despite the good food and good value we are considering not going back.

The chicken tasted freezer burnt and lacked flavor, and the food was served cold. To top it all off, when we were leaving, the waitress insisted on receiving a tip, even though we had already paid at the entrance and included a generous 20% gratuity on the bill. I will not be coming back and strongly recommend that others avoid this disappointing buffet!
