There were no topping at all and we had to ask for bowls (for the soup station, too). I tried the chocolate soft serve and it was either frozen yogurt or, if it was ice cream, it was sour. There were no cookies of any sort, as they advertise. There were a couple different pies, none of which looked particularly appetizing. There was only the tired chocolate cake, a yellow cake and cheese cake. I had an extremely small piece of chocolate cake that had to be at least 2 or 3 days old, it was so dried out. The salad bar was average, with not a great selection of toppings. Once I did find the au jus, it greatly improved the flavor of the meat as well as the moistness of it. The Carver did not even point out where the au jus was so I ended up just using brown gravy on top of my prime rib. The prime rib was fatty, the mashed potatoes and and broccoli were cold, as was a couple of bites of sweet-and-sour that my wife tried. The $24 price was pretty reasonable for a prime rib dinner, especially when you consider it's all you can eat, but the food was definitely definitely disappointing. We went for a Saturday night prime rib buffet. It appears there is only one server for the large room. Though there were less than a dozen diners at a 6:30PM seating. At least half the food from the buffet was left on the plate as, honestly, inedible. That may be de rigeur for buffet-style restaurants but this place makes the food overstay its welcome in the refrigerator. The impression is the food that remains at end of day is recycled for the next. The pie was also wildly sweet and evidently suffered from too much time in the refrigerator. The whipped cream suffered the same unappealing aftertaste. Salad was fresh, and the bar is well stocked but not beyond the usual buffet. The ribs were serviceable - the only meat that offered a semblance of taste and appeal. Even a liberal dosing of salt couldn't save it. The mashed potatoes tasted fine but were so gluey (and cold) it took another implement to scrape them off the serving spoon. The chicken BBQ sauce made the otherwise tender meat taste awful. There is a pervasive undertaste to the fare. While the selection is on par with other buffets, the quality is horrendous.
