Hemmingway's

We tried the lunch buffett. They had a good selection of food but most of it was just okay, not great. The fried catfish was crispy on the outside but moist enough to be almost raw on the inside (it was not raw but the texture was mushy).

I liked the bread pudding. The roast beef was okay but not real flavorful. The peppercorn crust was but not the meat. I did like the horseradish sauce to go with it. The hawaiian chicken was just thighs and I do not care for dark meat. The augratin potatoes were pretty good but not quite as cheesy as I make them at home. The chopped eggs for the salad were hard and rubbery, just old. The lettuce and salad dressings were good and most of the toppings were too. I liked the bacon bits. The ambrosia was pretty good, although the whipped cream was a bit heavy. I did not try to soups or the rolls.

There were potato salads but I did not try them today. They had canned peaches and pears, which were normal for canned and they had cut up cantelope and honeydew melon. That's all on the fruit. Not much fresh. (I'm not big on melon) They had green beans, but it is not a veggie I care for much. I like most other veggies though. They did not have them except on the salad bar (raw broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower).

For $8.49 for the lunch buffet, it was okay but not something I'd want to go back to every week.
