This is by far the worst buffet restaurants I have ever eaten at, $40 regular and $60 crab legs. The shrimp and the crab legs taste like they were boiled in dirty drain water, you know how dirty drain water smells when it's backing up that's how they taste, what they call steak has the consistency and texture of a slice of pot roast and it was so dry that it made it hard to swallow you could feel it getting stuck as it was going down. I am a foodie and I go to restaurants everywhere, this one was horrible.

horrible horrible. crab legs tasted like they were frozen , but in plain water and put on a serving dish. butter tasted like water . there was more country food then sea food. all the deserts taste and looks horrible. except the pineapple ice cream. advertised fresh variety of fruit and had orange and grape fruit slices. customer service was great though.

Like most buffets the food was good and bad. Some of the shrimp was great. Salad bar had many options. The crab legs were hit or miss. First batch was awful. Second batch much better. I had a table of 8 and we all agreed that it was up and down. I personally would not eat here again for the crab legs. For a buffet with salad and other seafood/food the price doesn't match the quantity. Also the tables are packed together. Carrying a plate of food can be tricky when they are busy

GARBAGE DONT COME. Paid over 200 dollars for 3 people and the crab legs taste and smell like they were caught in the septic tank. “ secret Gem” keep it secret don’t come here all the food is sweet and has sugar in it. They put all there money into advertising and not the food. If you want krab legs or any sea food go to the Local steamer down the road you pay 3 times less and get way better food
