    Hostess was great but was publicly reprimanded by her manager for seating us somewhere apparently off limits. I felt awful for her. Our waitress was good but there was major communication issues with her and the bartender and we literally waited an hour for two beers. She apologized multiple times and never could explain what was going on. The bartender was standing around with zero sense of urgency. It was frustrating. The food was good and oddly enough was served to us very quickly. Overall very mediocre experience.

    We sat at a table for 30 mins without being acknowledged. We tried to get the attention of a server and we were looked right over. Cards Nation has always been a stop for us but we had poor service at our last visit, tried to give the benefit of doubt that they may of been busy / shorted staff but after our last visit, won’t be recommending due to poor service

    No eggs were served until we were leaving. Very little fruit, waffles were far from done. Sausage & fried potatoes were good. Will not come back‼️

    Was there for the Cardinal Nations Breakfast for Opening Day. Absolutely abysmal experience. First was that we had to sit together as a group of 6 instead of a group of 2. Then when we sat down we had to wait about 15 minutes before our waiter told us that we can go up and serve ourselves. Then another 15 minutes for our drinks to be ordered and arrived. Wish I would’ve known it was gonna be this crazy on Opening Day. Overall I will give it a 2.5 out of 5 since the food was decent.

    Worst experience at a brunch buffet we’ve ever experienced here. The food options were appalling, eggs were wet & inedible, & there were pop tarts on the menu. Our server didn’t greet us for at least 15 minutes. When she did she wasn’t personable. Our group was nearly finished with our meal before drinks arrived. This was a glorified continental breakfast & we were so disappointed.
