text: Came here for Brunch on a Sunday and was disappointed The hub and I had eaten here about a month before and it was very good However this time made us a little sad Brunch at Roaring Fork is served buffet style and although we were excited at first about all of the offerings our excite slowly decreased as we ate our food We have begun to conclude that most buffets are not a good idea since the food never seems to be fresh This unfortunately was no different with The Roaring Fork Buffet Yes all of the RF popular eats were displayed to try however had this been my first time here trying these items we would have never wanted to go back Thank god this was not our first time here otherwise we would not have known how good the green chili stew and cheesy grits truly are Here are some details The hubby and I tried almost everything which included Eggs Benedict on biscuits chicken chiliquiles herbed pork tenderloin fruit parfait fresh fruit breakfast quesadillas bananas foster bread pudding sage and cornbread stuffing green chili stew and tortillas Chopped salad with ranch Cheesy grits fried chicken and loaded mashed potatoes candied jalapeno slaw chocolate opera cake biscuits and meatball gravy and roasted sweet corn Out of all of that the only items that were decent was the loaded mashed potatoes bread pudding jalapeufo slaw breakfast quesadillas cornbread stuffing fresh fruit hell how can you screw that up grits and opera cake I say decent because none were good or great they were simply ok since they were not very fresh The remaining items were a huge disappointment though The Benedicts had overcooked eggs and not enough hollandaise they should have had a dish of hollandaise off to the side in case you wanted more and because the hollandaise already on the Benedicts got kind of congealed and hard Fried chicken had no flavor to it and was overcooked green chili stew was not the same as the cheesy melty goodness we had had a month ago ordering the same thing and honestly the meatball gravy on the biscuits was absolutely horrendous I usually do not feel the need to spit things out but the meatball gravy was very hard to consume and was to the point of being downright inedible In any event I still give this place stars as the service was very good the dining area was very nice and I know how great their food can be during the dinner hours My suggestion and hope for if I ever am forced yes it would never be my own decision to go to do brunch again is that they come up with a regular brunch menu in which you must choose and all items would be prepared fresh Otherwise I honestly feel that the brunch buffet is only giving The Roaring Fork negative feedback As I stated earlier if I was a first time customer coming for brunch I would not return after this experience and I believe this would be the case with alot of first time customers
