We've come to know this location as Bad Fry's even though such a connotation suggests there must be a 'Good Fry's' somewhere. Just off the light rail, anchoring a shopping center with a McDonald's and a Verizon store, this store is truely ghetto. Con: EVERYONE constantly hitting you up for money in the parking lot. I'm serious - I've had ladies come up to me as I am getting in my car ("Excuse me...how are you doing? Hi....I'm trying to.....") and after I immediately wave them off and tell them no, they turn and get in the vehicle parked right next to me! There is no shame amongst these people. Pro: These people will sell you thier SNAP benefits for pennies on the dollar. Cash is king and there is a Wells Fargo with an ATM just inside the store. Stick it to the manufactured food lobbyists by using those food stamps for fresh produce (their produce isn't horrible)! ____________________ Pro: They put a Starbucks inside the store. Right when you walk in. Very convenient for when you know you're going to need to brave these narrow aisles with a cart. There is even a little sitting area with tables and a television. Con: The seating area is full of parking lot people and often stinks to high hell. Also, people don't seem to get not leaving their carts right in the way, so if you enter and head towards the produce, there will likely be carts which have been left right in the way. ____________________ In all, it's a dump. But it's a bit of a food desert over there (AJ's doesn't count) for groceries so, I guess, if you need to grab a gallon of milk and have a few bucks for a guy who is trying to catch the bus to get across town and can spare ten dollars to help some lady out with her, I don't know probably liquor, then you'll have a good time at Bad Fry's.

Have seen the advertising on TV and switched our dinner plans on a whim as we drove by. My wife had the Chicken Angelo,my son had the BBQ Chicken sandwich and I tried the lasagna. First, the Chicken Angelo--the sauce was bland and unseasoned. It is supposed to be a white wine and chicken base reduction with lemon. It was almost tasteless. 2 stars. The BBQ Chicken sandwich was fine, but there was a mystery side salad (about a cup and a half of chopped lettuce, chopped red onions and 3 tomato slices served without any dressing or dressing choice offered. French fries portion was generous, crispy and hot.. 3 stars. My lasagna was puzzling. The waitress indicated there was "lots of cheese", but I thought they skimped.. The top layer of cheese was mozzarella, and all the interior cheese was ricotta. They advertise a meat sauce on the layers, but I had ricotta only, which made the lasagna fairly dry--not moist and gooey, like I am used to. The lasagna was accompanied by two rather skimpy (I am guessing 2 ounce) meatballs on the side. I have had, and I also make a whole lot better. 2 stars. I would recommend doubling the meatballs--the cost would be only about 80-90 cents. All 3 dishes arrived at the same time, however the consequence of this was that my wife's and son's dishes were piping hot, while my lasagna was just past warm only. One minor gripe. When we got the bill after trying to catch the waitress's eye for about 3 or 4 minutes, the plastic folder stated "We proudly accept American Express Cards", which my wife put in for payment. Our waitress took one look and informed us they no longer accept AMEX--handed the bill back and promptly scooted to another part of the restaurant. Four minutes and 10 seconds later (finally---my chronograph watch does something useful !!l!), she returned to collect the check and credit card. Another 3 and a half minutes and she returned with the bill for my wife to sign. She managed to finish the night by hitting one of my pet peeves.. She started clearing the table while my wife was signing and while we were still seated. After almost 9 min to check out, she couldn't have waited 30 more seconds for us to get up and leave??? I am giving a rare (for me) 2 star rating.

Hotel just opened last week, so this buffet is brand new. So place is still very clean. I tried the brunch, cost per person $31 plus tax. Service is good. Staff is friendly and very attentive, which always a plus these places. Food selection, I feel they need to add more selection or spread. Flavor is good though . I am comparing to My favorite buffet which is Wicked spoon, next is Bacchanal. I think we need to come back for dinner. This place looks promising.
