Chow Time Grill & Buffet

I had a solid 3.5-star experience. The food was great, with pepper chicken being my top pick, followed by teriyaki chicken and orange tiramisu. The broccoli chicken was also a winner. I'd definitely come back. However, the waitress's hovering while I was leaving a tip was a bit off-putting.

We were first timers dinning in at the Chow Time Grill & Buffet located in Panama City. As we walked in I noticed the buffet was not like the ordinary buffet. Even though It was a crowd, there was a nice ambiance to this buffet. We were surprised at the huge selection of food options. They served a variety of foods hot and fresh. I loved the fried Catfish and fried Shrimp. The food was a 10 out 10. I had Apple Pie for dessert and boy oh boy, It was so delicious. I didn’t catch our Waitress name but she was totally awesome. She worked the entire station. We never had to stop her and ask for anything. She was so attentive. While this guy and another female stood in our section foundling each other. I couldn’t believe how unprofessional they were. Standing up in the middle of our section rubbing and grabbing each other as if they were guest. After about an hour inside we were stuffed. We really enjoyed our time here. The place was always clean and they kept bringing out more hot food. Customer service was top notch and the price was just right. We will return here.

Everything looked great until we tried the food. And most of it had no flavor/bland. Other food was spicy. For goodness sake crayfish is suppose to have flavor not taste like water and corn should be in butter and not over flowed with water. There wasn't very much that actually tasted good. I was impressed with the hibachi grill where they make your food freshly cooked and oh my god it tasted great and had the right flavors I definitely tipped him. Our waiter wasn't on top of things we had plates pilled up and he never asked us if we wanted refills on our drinks. Apparently his phone was more important than us. What a way to treat first timers. Pretty disappointed and oh my god the bathrooms were nasty. And we had to flag our waiter down for service. You should already know my recommendations on this restaurant. Like I said the food looked great and fresh but once you take a bit it is a different story. Beware all my 2 million follwers.
