"Went to the Sunday morning breakfast buffet, it's open to the public. Everyone was nice, the food was good. 10/10, will go there again for the Sunday morning breakfast buffet"

"Clean, friendly, good breakfast buffet in the summer. UPDATE 02/23: Had dinner tonight. Veal parm. The veal patty was thick and a decent size and it was good. The sauce had a weird taste though. Usually I think of places like the Eagles, Elks, etc, as having good deals on food, I thought that $14 + $3 to add salad was a kinda high. In PC there's not a lot of choices, so it was nice to try something different. UPDATE 08/23: Had a good meal for $12, like the sauce last time, the gravy wasn't that great. Good bang for the buck though."
