Only had buffett breakfast here. Food good, and plenty of it. Service pretty average, had to ask for drinks frequently, and hard to get service a lot of the time. More

It was a fun stop and very Jimmy Buffet in decor. Good food and fun drinks, but expensive overall. Wouldn't hurry to get back. There are other place that are more fun and at a better price. More

The service was terrible. Although there were not many people about, the time we had to wait for service and finally the bill was horrendous. Will definately not recommend this restuarant to anyone. More
