    Hardly any food out, arcade games not working and no employee would come help us. Might as well make the extra ten min drive to Ames from now on.

    Not as good as usual. It was not very well stocked. The potatoes were the only things that was full and the rest were not very warm. The desert did not seem fresh. It was very hard. I was disappointed for the money that I spent.

    I ordered a Gluten Free sweet swine with mushrooms & black olives added. Imagine my disappointment when I opened the box to find a mushroom & black olive pizza.

    I am assuming they were a bit short staffed and we were there at a busy time. When we arrived we had to take a bussing tub from the cart to clear a table, there were no forks on the salad bar, and the mix on the pop machine was putting very sweet on some and weak of others. The tea and lemonade tasted like the interior of the machine needs cleaned. The salad dressing bottles were filled from the wrong end which causes the old to always remain. The young girl at the register was very courteous and helpful though she was dealing with a stressful day.

    The pizza buffet was very lacking not even enough pizza to total 2 pizzas. Hopefully this was new staff. We haven't been there for awhile. They brought us the pizzas we requested, left them on our table for 10 minutes and then wanted to take to put on buffet. Even tho we didn't want the rest, we told them they probably shouldn't put them on buffet. We were there at lunch time.
