We went Sunday evening and is was not crowded at all it all. The food was above average and you could tell they were paying close attention to the quality of it. I was really impressed by the dessert makers attention to detail on the dishes she was making. She placed each dish carefully into a design and it was kinda neat. I would recommend Ryan's if you are looking for a quick buffet fix.
We do go several times weekly for the breakfast and the lunch buffets. Our main complaint is the food isn't replenished as it should be. I have noticed that the dessert bar is especially lacking lately. Overall I give the restaurant a good score - The cook that works the grill for breakfast on the weekends is great. He makes a good omelet and always frys your eggs just as ordered - and does it quickly and with a smile. Most of the servers are very helpful and friendly as well. Again, the quality of food I think has improved lately but the bar needs to be attended to in a more timely manner - especially the bakery items. As seniors we are very thankful for the frequent discount coupons we get in emails and the newspaper. Keep it up!
