Chow Time Grill and Buffet--restaurant Review



 

This restaurant has a lot of good things going for it but 1 massive and important failure.

It's a big place with about 4-5 different rooms each appearing to be intimate to a certain point. All the rooms are right off the dining room which has many different stations consisting of a huge variety of food from Chinese to sushi to seafood, fish, beef, pork, chicken, raw vegetables, salads, 'Southern food', soups, noodle bar, a large Hibachi area with many selections, a varied dessert bar plus many more items.

The service is excellent, except for a minor misstep, drinks refilled without asking, dirty dishes removed as soon as they are ready to be taken, the check presented on time and the tables kept clean. The only minor service problem is no replacement of silverware and you would use the same fork for your salad, various main courses, dessert.

The major, massive, important failure was the temperatures of the food with only the Hibachi, cooked while you wait for it, hot and the foods that should have been hot were at most room temperature.

We were there at lunch and certainly, the price was right at  $7.19 for the buffet and $1.99 for soft drinks but, considering, it is a 40-minute ride out to the Tamarac location on West Commercial, the what should be hot food is lukewarm, the ride wasn't worth it.

A few other minor problems being that &^%$&*&^ television in the dining rooms, the one ice cream scoop for the varied ice creams which can cause a pile-up at the dessert section, the Hibachi setup being somewhat confusing I doubt very much if I would go out there again.

 

Right now, in my opinion, the Nabu American Fusion Buffet on Federal Highway is still the best buffet available in Broward County.
