My boyfriend and I went to Cannoli Joe's for the first time tonight. Being a weekday evening, it was rather calm and quiet, which is what we prefer. The service here was great. Within seconds of being seated by the hostess, our waiter greeted our table and took our drink orders. The set-up of the buffet is very unique and unlike most buffet restaurants. Each section has a clear theme and a wide variety of specialty foods. All dishes are prepared in small batches and are labeled above the selection. You can actually watch the chefs prepare the dishes behind the buffet line. For the price ($12.99 weekday dinner) we got a fantastic value. The food is incredibly flavorful, and they definitely don't skimp on quality ingredients. My boyfriend and I tried to take a sample of every dish available, but by the time we got 3/4 way through, we were completely stuffed. Some dishes were so-so and others were definite winners. Their pastas were a highlight for both me and my boyfriend. Desserts featured were bread pudding, apple crumble, chocolate covered strawberries, and other petite sweets. The dessert section also has a great selection of ice creams that are personally scooped by someone behind the counter. All in all, our experience at Cannoli Joe's leaves us wanting to come back for more. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive, the ambiance was enjoyable, and the food left us with a great impression. 100% recommend this restaurant.
Pros: Wide variety, Great service, Lots of parking
Cons: A few so-so dishes, but most were well-liked

The service was bad, the food was overpriced, and the quality of the food was sub par. The food was uninspired, bland, and tasted like it was made with mediocre ingredients and then sat out for far too long under heat lamps- which it probably had. Things were soggy that should have been crispy, dried out when they shouldn't have been, overcooked, and generally just unappealing. If you're the kind of person who thinks a quality restaurant means eating until you're sick, then this place is for you. If you have any interest in the taste or quality of the food going into your mouth, go to almost any other restaurant in town and you're going to have a better experience (including most of the other big chains, sadly).
Pros: eat as much as you want!
Cons: you won't want to eat very much of it
