MY HUSBAND&I GO TO THE EDISON, N. J.{08817} HOMETOWN BUFFET. WE LOVE THE FOOD AND I SUFFER SEVERE ALLERGIES AND THE MANAGERS GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO HELP IN ANY WAY THEY CAN, BECAUSE OF THEIR CONCERNS I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I CAN EAT AND I LOVE&ENJOY THE FOOD! THIS BUFFET IS EXTREMELY CLEAN! THE SERVERS ARE ALWAYS ON THE MOVE, WHEN I SAY EACH&EVERY EMPLOYEE,"WORKS HARD", I KID YOU NOT! THERE USED TO BE SOME MEAN, RUDE MANAGERS AND WE WOULD NOT GO FOR AWHILE DUE TO THEM! NOW, THE MANAGERS ARE,"DOUG"-"JAMES"-"TEDDY" AND "DORRIS"! ALL GOOD&CARING MANAGERS. WE LOVE DOUG, HE'S A VERY SWEET AND CARING PERSON AND CARES ABOUT HIS EMPLOYEES&GUESTS! WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO NANCY&ROBERTO, NICE-PATIENT, HARD WORKING! AND IN ALL SINCERITY, MISS GWEN AND KIM{KIMMY}, THEY ARE LIKE FAMILY TO US! ALWAYS SMILING AND NEVER STOP! THEY WORKED THIS 2017 CHRISTMAS DAY AND MAYBE THE MANAGERS DID NOT THINK THEY'D HAVE A BIG CROWD, BUT AFTER 2:00, IT WAS PACKED AND MISS GWEN&KIMMY, BOTH WERE REALLY MOVING LIKE LIGHTNING! WE SAT IN AMAZEMENT AT JUST HOW HARD THEY WORK AND TAKE THEIR JOBS SERIOUSLY! WHAT MADE US SAD, WAS THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST TWO MORE EMPLOYEES ON THAT DAY, EVEN ONE MORE WOULD HAVE HELPED AS THEY WERE WORKING SO HARD AND EVEN THOUGH IT WAS CHRISTMAS WE WATCHED SOME VERY RUDE CUSTOMERS LEAVE TERRIBLE MESSES FOR BOTH MISS GWEN&KIMMY AND NOT EVEN ONE DOLLAR FOR TIP ON THESE TABLES! MY EYES FILLED UP, AS I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW AWFUL CUSTOMERS CAN BE! I'VE BEEN PRAYING SINCE THAT DAY FOR CUSTOMERS TO TREAT ALL THE HOMETOWN WORKERS W/MORE RESPECT AND LEAVE A DECENT TIP, AS THEY WORK SO HARD FOR THEIR MONEY! WAS A ROUGH DAY FOR MISS GWEN&KIMMY BUT THEY JUST KEPT MOVING, KNOWING THE COMPLAINERS AND OTHERS AS WELL, LEFT QUITE A MESS, YET-NO TIP? VERY SAD! PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE THE BEST EMPLOYEES IN THE BUFFET IN EDISON, N. J. 08817! SPECIAL COMPLIMENTS TO DOUG, MISS GWEN AND KIMMY! WE HAVE BEEN EATING AT THE BUFFET SINCE THE VERY 1ST DAY IT OPENED, WE ARE IN OUR 60'S AND IT IS KIND OF A SECOND HOME FOR US AS OUR CHILDREN ARE MILITARY, ETC. AND LIVE AWAY FROM US. WE CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON GOOD TASTING, HOT FOOD AND GREAT SALAD BAR AND HUGS FROM MISS GWEN&KIMMY, WHENEVER NEEDED! BECAUSE OF THEM&DOUG, WE WILL PROBABLY BE CUSTOMERS FOR A LONG TIME! THANK YOU, GOOD HEALTH&PEACE IN THE NEW YEAR!

I like to say I come day to day and this is a 4 Stare.
The Help is the best and will help you all the time and go out of there
Way for you even if you do not tip, if the roast beef is pink and you like it
Well dune there cook it more for you. If out of chocolate chip cooks and you
Have time sum won will cook them up for you. MGR are cool and will help you all
So I had to ask for sum special help and know problem I have never had a
Restraint Buffet so cool and clean like this, to me or my Mom of 84 Happy
Holidays to all the Staff. For the past month I have had the same happy service.
I was in the Hospital and after I come back over a week I was welcome with joie
And help asking how I was can you ask for any more then that. I went on Christmas Day and it was just grand. I was happy just won thing Please stop running out of chocolate chip cooks all so out of venereal ice-cream this past week it was like this on ice-cream on won or the other 3 times and cooks all week please stop this the week of 12/21/15 but the help is grate you cook them up fast. The roast beef is to rear and you are Not cooking it medium well this is not write to all of us, you OT to have two of them. Ye can't you have chocolate chip cooks day to day, you are out all the time? This is Bad News. Please Cook more. Bath room's are clean all the time. I have had to chat with the help do to kids running a round and it seamed to help. Breakfast is grate you have all kinds of food and drinks to pick from and a sealed bare, but No soup I like to see them. Thank you
