This is a review of the:
8 Crazy Buffet
3059 South US 41
Terre Haute, In 47802
I stopped at this restaurant for diner at 7:05 PM on September 13, 2010. As I entered the establishment I noticed a neat and attractive dinning area and was greeted and seated quickly. The staff was friendly and helpful. The person who seated me asked what I would like to drink and I ordered unsweetened ice tea.
As I was walking with my plate to the steam table I noticed a waitress walking around the serving area with food tongs picking up food that other patrons had spilled and putting the dropped food back on the serving area of the steam table. I was surprised and even dismayed that the food would be returned to the serving trays after it had been dropped.
I added some roast beef to my plate, diced fried potatoes, Japanese Chicken and some raw tuna. The roast beef was the least distasteful food I sampled. It was not tasty and I suspect not fresh. The potato chunks were barely edible. the Japanese chicken likewise was poor quality food. The raw tuna smelled of old fish and tasted slimy.
The ice tea was good and the server quickly refilled my glass. I was unable to eat more than a few bites of the food due to the poor quality of the food.
On a scale of 0 to 10 with ten being the highest rating, I would rate my experience as listed below.
Ambience 10
