In fact the restaurant asked us what was wrong when they saw the nearly full plate left on the table. To their credit, they comped the gumbo, so we'd definitely be willing to give them another try.

Full belly from BSOM and I must be partial and tel you it was delicious. Salad bar needs some help but the Cajun Shrimp Pasta was very good. They also had Seasoned Ribs and Cajun Chicken. Both were very good as were the sides of Roasted Potatoes and Spicy Seasoned Veggies. 1 beer for Barb and a Sweet Tea for me completed the buffet and all for $15.51. As for the regular menu, we didn't look but the sandwiches that were fed to the patrons at the bar were HUGE and overstuffed with food. They are staring a Brunch Menu sometime soon starting @ 10 am and running thru 3 pm. Open seating is somewhat enjoyable because there were adults there but I might not enjoy if it the were children about. Lastly, they might need some waitstaff help but I don't know for sure. Only 1 waitress while we were there to take care of maybe 30 people... Alright ! ! Full belly from BSOM and I must be partial and tel you it was delicious.

I had a wonderful conversation with her and a family member that drives here 1/2 the week to help out. The video above is from a Wednesday night which is College Night...something they dread but they make a good deal of money doing. This is NOT ow the place looks during the weekends. She said the reason for the change comes from a lack of support for Indian style food but also admitted that turn over in the kitchen had hurt them. They now re fully staffed with the last of the full-time people starting Saturday night. They have been upgrading their kitchen and tweaking the menu to reflect the new direction she hopes will work better. I am very convinced that she and her help appreciate all the local customers they get and she really enjoys interacting with you. Please do not let the video dissuade you from giving the new menu a try. Hell, you will probably run into me there as well. I told them as soon as I can scape together some free time I will be there.

A friend of mine from AM VETS Post #7 went there last Friday night and when I asked how everything was "Thy have good Pineapple" was his ONLY response.

It was the only resteraunt around that I enjoyed dining at. But I'm not surprised it tanked. Ever since the current owners of the resteraunt took over (in 2005 I believe it was), the food and service took a sharp turn downhill. It was particularly awful in the last few months. They tried to do the 'bar' thing, hoping that would increase their evening business, but to no avail. The resteraunt did not look as nice in the past couple months as they took all the decorations off the walls and that I'm sure didn't help their business. I guess they figured transforming the place into more of a typical 'cowtown' type place would line their pockets. I was a big fan of Bombay’s lunch buffet too.
