  I do not understand how this restaurant is open. The food, service, decor and cleanliness are all awful. We came in through one of the doors for the buffet; this is actually three "rooms," two having similar decor and the third a bar that hosts the bathrooms. People walk into whichever door they find and stand around by the "please wait to be seated" signs until someone notices them and finds a seat; we weren't sure if there's a hostess or if one of the waitress was just up front a lot. She certainly couldn't be bothered to accept our payment. Nobody wears a uniform or dresses even remotely professionally, so you have to wait until someone approaches you. Our table was attached to the wall and slumping so much it was hard to get in and out of our booth, which also had one of the random mismatched seats. Everything looks like it's about to fall apart and creaks like it snapped if you so much as lean on it. The buffet was covered in flies that follow you back to your table. People were taking plates off the salad bar and walking across the room to dish up, until a stack of full-size plates were nonchalantly placed on a table between the buffet and the door. The buffet itself used the same sauce for pasta and pizza sauce, and also featured what looked like taco meat, but had large chunks of something and no tortillas. I suspect the fried chicken was really boiled and then covered in extremely dry crust. Eventually my family decided to stop eating and just leave, but we had to wait to pay until the maybe hostess seated four other parties (the ones that didn't walk in and leave immediately) and flag down our waitress. I don't think she noticed we'd left our table and probably could've just taken off without paying.
  This was very likely the worst restaurant I have ever attended. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone but the health inspector, who I hope drops by SOON.

  We came in during the off-season (March), so only the bar was open, but dinner was good (Buffalo Burgers and Chicken Strips), and the server/bartender was friendly and attentive.
