The Gathering Place Buffet

Our server, Shaune, was fantastic. Although she was obviously pregnant and probably unpleasant, she and her service are exceptional. It's said... to the food. The crab, although apparently frozen before, was hot or cold and the main rib was as big as ever. The main rib is served very rarely, but you can ask your server to take it and have to put it on the broiler and cook it longer without foot. This is what I and my girl do and it comes back hot with sea notes and is delicious. There are a variety of foods to choose. I especially like the muscles and the muscles and the shells and the shells. Their desert and salad bars are also top notch, although I never had a salad there in person. I have many deserts and all were great. Bottom line for $22 You can simply not beat the value, food and all to good service. I recommend everything you can eat Dungeness crab and Prime Rib Buffet 100%.

We went to the buffet last night 2-19-2020. The food was better than the last few weeks. The only thing I can say is that we want to see ham on the line more often. We miss it. Some of the secondary dishes are a little bland, but I think that's what salt and pepper is. Please keep the good work, and add ham more often during the week. D. R. Wilcox.

Buffet still isn’t back yet. i’m sure it’s difficult to plan for how many people might come. instead of buffet they just have a couple of alacarte choices; asian; mexican, and fried chicken or ribs. i ordered their ribs, potatoes and gravy and bisquit. potatoes and gravy were good, but the ribs were dried out. more like jerky. a disappointment after paying $13 plus $2 for a drink. i’ll be glad when buffet is back. you can at least see if the food is fresh on buffet line. it would be good if they included the drink in the price of the meal.

This place used to be my go-to for seafood. They’ve got signs all up and down I-5 advertising “Seafood Buffet Friday u0026 Saturday” but when I arrived today (Saturday) it’s “Surf and Turf” which is apparently some steamed clams and breaded fish with some poorly cooked prime rib... Definitely not worth the price they charge; it used to be well worth the price but not anymore.. They keep spending money on upgrading the place to look nice, but it looked fine before the most recent remodel. They made the buffet much smaller and also lost a lot of quality with the food. Hopefully whoever manages this place comes to their senses about this place being pretty vs having actually good food.

It’s a 1 to 2 hour wait if you go in a Friday or weekend night. The clams were good but like only 25% of them had actual meat inside, the prime rib was literally the best meat ? I have ever tasted in my entire life. The player’s card is free which makes it $22.00 instead of $30.00 so it at least makes you feel like you are getting a good deal. The vanilla frozen yogurt tasted weird, it was almost like spoiled milk, but the mint flavor was wonderful, then the soft serve was pretty dang good, fajita is crazy delicious and they have taco stuff and crazy good waffle fries. Veggie rice was kind of gross but the Spanish rice was to die for. There is definitely tasty food if you aren’t into the fancy stuff, so overall I was really happy. I have to drive 45 miles to get there but there aren’t anymore quality buffets closer to me, so it’s worth it if you were into hometown buffet in the past ?
