    I have been to an array of buffets, but this one by far has had the most variety of food I have ever experienced. My favorite dish was the cabbage. I know it's a side dish, but it was the star . I actually ate 4 bowls of it . The varieties of chicken and beef were amazing as well. The crawfish had flavor but was extremely spicy. Don't get me wrong, I am from Alabama and love a spicy crawfish, but it was jam-packed with jalepeños in the boil itself. This was a first for me, but I still ate them all mouth burning and all . I wasn't a fan of the sushi. I didn't like the choice of meat with the filling of the sushi. The fried chicken wings and drums! They were the second star of the show. They were seasoned like my granny's; I thoroughly enjoyed them. Dumplings were also chefs kiss. I could go on and on, but overall, the food was superlative. The service was great. It took some time to get a refill, but I believe it was because they were so busy. Once things got quieter, the server was exceptional. Refills back to back and dishes on the table were taken out accordingly. Outstanding experience here. I will most certainly be back. I urge anyone to come gather an opinion about this restaurant. I believe it's worth it.

    I love the 88 buffett. I started eating there the first week it opened and have eaten there for years! I usually go at 10:30 in the morning or 2 pm in the afternoon to avoid crowds. Sunday, the vast array of food at the buffett is mind-boggling. Everything is laid back and nobody rushes you. The ribs are so tender.the crab is mouthwatering.i can't get enough of the 88 buffet
