I love this buffet! We went on BBQ night last visit. I had two delicious steaks, ribs, BBQ pork and BBQ chicken. Delicious! Not the items you usually find at a buffet. So many options. My son loved the cornbread the most and ate for free(under 2). Much higher quality and variety than most buffets. Great service too!

As far as a buffet goes it is clean and has an open floor plan but the food itself is not all that good. It is a combination of America comfort food and special items. Think of it as the heavy food often food at a church potluck or family reunion a little random and heavy.

Came here while visiting Spokane with a large group of family. The food was definitely lackluster and seemed to be reheated or from cans. Taco meat was extremely greasy. Everything seemed to be drowning in trays of hot water. Salad bar was okay. Staff was all very friendly.

We came around 3 pm. Food was not very fresh, taste bland, and some was nasty. Stay away from clam chowder. Ice cream was the best. Will not be back.

Two stars for cleanliness and atmosphere. One additional star for a halfway decent salad bar and friendly waiter. Missing the last two stars for tasteless entrees and desserts.

We stopped by this happening spot, on our way to visit family in Montana. It was about 10 minutes before they closed, and needless to say, our kids were famished from the hours of riding in the car. They took us in with a smile, and took the time to show us where all the different specialty items were located. They kept all of their food out well past closing time, until everyone on the restaurant had finished eating, and all of the staff were courteous and friendly. They made it a point to ensure that we enjoyed our meals. We came back for lunch, a week later, on our way home. The manager thanked us for coming back, and the rest of the staff seemed happy to see us too. All of the other patrons were extremely friendly and welcoming to us, complimenting us on our baby girl. I even received a couple compliments on my parenting skills from a nice elderly gentleman. All in all, it was an excellent dining experience. I am a Pescetarian, and I was still able to find a number of delicious entres that fit within my dietary restrictions.

Great American food… Steak was kind of bland, but it was a great eat all around. AWESOMEBBQ! Perhaps it is made that way so everyone may be okay with it… Next time I’ll add some spice. I give it 4.5, but since I can’t do that I give it 5. Good eat.

We went here Easter Sunday and it got packed quick. Luckily we were early and able to get seated right away. The staff are friendly and provided good service. What really surprised me was how well they cooked the steaks… nice medium rare and not over cooked! The first one I had was a little cold but I think the chef was trying to prepare for the rush but after the steaks were nice and warm. The mac and cheese was definitely one of the best I have had at a restaurant. It would be nice for a little more variety but I like that they stick with what they know best and do it well.

Very tasteless food. Pretty terrible quality. The salad bar was the best part. Won’t be back. We did have a very pleasant server who was quick to clear out plates and was very attentive.

Flipped a coin to try this place or hit the normal stop for buffet in spokane(golden corral) choose here and was so disappointed it’s not nearly as good and it has nasty coke instead of pepsi like any good restaurant should serve. The selection of food was fine but everything was just meh and some of the items looked like leftovers from a week ago reheated everyday since.

Was looking for a quick filling dinner with the kids while traveling for a sporting event. Stumbled across the Timber creek Grill buffet. Walked in the door and was immediately excited when we noticed it was seafood night. The excitement quickly wore off when I made a quick pass past the selection. Lots of fried and breaded«seafood» items. Crab was small, cold, and had poor flavor, salmon was bland and had a funny texture. Most of the other food was exceptionally good for a buffet restaurant, staff was VERY friendly and personable. I would recommend this for a quick, inexpensive dinner. Family of 4(9&5 year old children) ate for less than 45 bucks.

It was ok. Clean enough and good salad bar. Main entrees weren’t great but I’ve had worse.

I have to compare this place to the golden corral, it’s about the same thing but just a bit cleaner and fancier. All around not many complaints, maybe they could help teach the cooks the difference between rare steak and medium. But all and all, exactly what you’d expect from a buffet that actually maintains their restaurant.

Stopped in for lunch with co-workers. Decent cafeteria style buffet. Wide variety of foods that tasted as they should. Nothing that wowed me but had a good salad bar, the soups were tasty. They were grilling sliders for lunch and according to the signs it looks like they had made to order steaks at dinner. The place was clean overall but definitely a quantity over quality kind of place.

This was definitely a decent meal while visiting Spokane. We came on a Friday(seafood night– ew for me haha) and they had plenty of options from salad, fruit, steak, pasta, seafood, taco bar and dessert. The restaurant felt relatively clean, and the staff at the entry was very friendly in assisting us finding our party. My only complaint and the reason for the 3 stars, was while waiting in line for food I saw a food server repeatedly wipe her nose into her shirt sleeve using her gloved hand that was also handing food out. They have a great area for large groups and I might return again someday.

We really liked this place. I’ve been to all inclusive restaurants that had worse selection than this. It was insane. So many things to choose from. So many desserts. So many drinks. It was awesome. It was totally awesome.

Good selection of foods. We were in town for a business conference that didn’t start till Saturday, so we found this for the Friday night seafood buffet and it was very good. The steaks were made to order and quite tender, the clams, muscles and crab tasty. The salad bar was very good. The prime rib was dry, the salmon also was over done… but it is hard not to be over cooked at a buffet. Great desserts, nice beverage bar. The cost was.$ 13.69 for adults and $ 12.98 for seniors 55+. We would come back on our next trip.

Have been wanting to come here since this place opened. Very, very disappointed. Not much selection, salad bar is bland and dressings watery. The food in general is mostly comfort foods and all in all, very BLAND. No seasonings, doesn’t seem very fresh, and just blah in general. Obviously it’s a buffet, but it seems this place caters to the sole palates of senior citizens and children. The food made me sick to my stomach, definitely will not be coming back.

Smart people know what food is good in such a buffet environment. There is a good selection of foods that you don’t find in typical buffets. The cream of tomato soup is exquisite. A wide variety of choices for less than the price of ¾ a pound of bacon… well, at least the bacon I buy at Sante!

I am dumbfounded that there is so much food… and so much of it is just plain bland. When the thing with the most flavor is the cottage cheese on the salad bar, something is definitely wrong. Don’t get me wrong, I have been to buffets before so I know things may not be cooked as personally as a standard restaurant. But this was just really lacking in much flavor. And I tried just about every thing that was offered, hoping to find some spark. Nada. I would say the price isn’t bad, except that when the food is of this caliber, I should be getting paid. The staff here was very friendly, and kept very busy trading things out often and making sure things were clean. I hate to be so harsh about my review because they really were nice. Maybe I should try again another time, but I have heard similar complaints from other people. I hope for the people who do frequent this place the food improves.
