    Went on a quiet Monday night when there was no reservation fee. Because of this, I would not pay a reservation fee on a Friday night. The service and food was great and I would recommend a slow night to check it out.

    We will be back. Food was fabulous. Never went to a food station that was empty. They were constantly bringing out new food before the one that was there got empty. And the options? So many options even the pickiest patron would be able to find something. For the price, probably the best brunch Buffett I have ever been to. Prime rib, omelette station, great drink. Definitely recommend.

    After a big mishap, with Instacart, on Christmas Eve that left my daughter and I without supplies for the Christmas dinner we had planned. On Christmas morning I was scrambling to find a place, that was open, and found Two-Fifty Market on Open Table and immediately booked a reservation for 2pm. It was a little bit of a drive for us but was well worth it. It was an all you can eat buffet and the food was quite good (especially the dessert). We are considering making it a new tradition. It is in a hotel and the lobby was beautifully decorated for Christmas. We spent about 2 and a half hours there and didn’t feel rushed at all. I would definitely recommend their Christmas dinner. It was lovely!
