Jumbo Restaurant - Prince George

I love Murphy'sEveryone knows everyone else, and the food is ridiculously tasty and cheap.

Can't beat it for breakfast in the areaFood is always goodPrices are very reasonable.

My grandma growing up used to repeat a common phrase, "don't judge a book by it's cover"Maybe she was thinking of Murphy's when she said that.

Smorg:equals no service, of course. No chat, no hello, no explanation, other than "yeah, go ahead, if you want. You can sit over there. (or not, whatever)Food is between **** and unknown. Sometime unknown Chinese can be an adventure, but here is just a voyage into salt and sugar. Blech blech blah.Items, such as chicken wings are there by the 3's and 5's and yet still manage to never be fresh, stuck to the bottom of the steel inserts, the SS pork has a layer of coagulated cornstarch over it that makes it hard to get to the lumps beneath. Consider it a blessing. If you are careful, you can pick out the bits of broccoli that are still green, leaving behind what may have once been broccoli but is now a grey, broccoli shaped non-food item. The wontons, in broth, are not revolting. they are wontons in broth. who knows, they may come out of the same giant can all wontons on Chinese smorgs come from. The broth needs work. Maybe just less water. The fried rice is wet and perhaps dyed more than fried, the chow mein is just noodles, wetted and heated up. Not a trace of, say, cabbage or onions or sprouts. Completely low end and not worth bothering with. Why not try the Hart Wheel Inn, not far north, with a similar smorg, for the same price, and yet somehow much much better.

It's a family run business for decades, where they remember to treat you like family, great buffet on Friday
