In Short – This restaurant is decorated with photos of old downtown Austin and the usual array of country knickknacks. You can eat outside on the patio or sit inside cheek-by-jowl with the student and business crowds that have frequented this eatery for two decades. The buffets consist of salad, soup, potato, bread and sundae bars. While that's the main focus, you can also order greasy cheeseburgers, larger-than-life sandwiches and steak.

What happen?

Use to work downtown several years back and this place was a weekly lunch spot. Decided to take my son there this past weekend, seated ourselves on the patio. We were surrounded by dirty tables. After 10 minutes a guy with a huge black eye asks for drink orders. After seeing him back and forth 2 times I asked about our drink orders he then asked for them again. After seeing him come outside yet again 2 more times I decided it was time to spend my money elsewhere. The guy saw us get up and walk away and he did not say one word. What a disappointment - after reading all these reviews I WILL NEVER RETURN.
- Pros: NONE
- Cons: EVERYTHING

This place has horrible service, terrible food, feels dirty, and basically misses the mark on quality. The only positive is the location. Avoid going here if you want to be impressed.
