I went there with my girlfriend to try the different foods they have, and It was worth it! Admission fee was $2.50 and it's basically all you can eat, food was amazing. After eating we checked out the laser tag arena and the water slides, It was an unforgettable experience. Only gave 4 stars not 5 because all they played is country music.
