Buffet Star - Town of Vestal

Wanted Chinese and ended up at Buffet Star in Vestal for dinner which was a huge fail in it 's self. Long story short, when a restaurant is gouging prices, the food is cold or hard as a rock and they demand a tip when your waitress if you could call her that gives you your drink, disappears the whole time while you are eating and let 's your plates pile up till you leave, I 'd rather take my business elsewhere. I was shocked at how rude the people that run that place are and honestly seeing the parking lot almost empty at 430pm, that says alot. Don 't waste your time or money. $50 for 2 adults and a child for disgusting food. I ll pass. ??

Went out to eat to catch up with a friend. We were polite. Waitress brings us the check and we pay the bill. As we went to leave the waitress questions how much we leave for a tip. Then points and says this is how much the bill is.. when I looked it was the SUGGESTED amount. She then stood at the table waiting for us to pull out more money for her tip which was harassment. She stood there to make us uncomfortable so we felt like we had to pay her more. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me. Why does she feel so entitled? Never again.

Haven't been here in about a year. Food was OK, lots of variety. The sushi area was lacking compared to last time.

Two of us had lunch there and it was great! Lots of selections and fresh food. Drinks are extra.

I wasn't impressed with the food..It tasted old like it had been leftovers for a few days...Probably not going back. I've given them a couple of chances and find it never changes.. I really did like it when they first opened up but has gone downhill since ?
