Marlin's Family - Mitchell

The food here is fantastic and the prices are very reasonable. They offer an incredible all-you-can-eat buffet Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 2 PM. The fish fry on Fridays is particularly delicious. The staff is attentive, checking in for refills and ensuring that everything is to your liking. The portion sizes are generous, and best of all, the music playing is excellent!

Last night was pretty disappointing. The food was excessively greasy, and our service left a lot to be desired. Jennifer, in particular, wasn’t very friendly when my friend and I tried to let her know that we ordered the half chicken strip baskets but received a full order instead. She claimed that she hadn’t heard our order correctly and suggested that next time we should repeat “half” four times to make it clear. I usually enjoy dining here in the evenings, but this experience was quite frustrating.

We stopped by while traveling, and everything was fantastic. Our waitress, Christina, was exceptional; she was busy but handled everything flawlessly! The food was served promptly and was delicious. I highly recommend this place!

The comfort food here is excellent, and our waitress was incredibly attentive.

This was mediocre at best, and that is being generous. I was enthusiastic about the venue because it had that great exterior family/greasy diner vibe where I just knew the food would be great and the server would be fun. I was wrong. The server was friendly, however, I felt rushed to order, the check was presented before I asked for it and then she stood over me while I processed the payment with the credit card machine. She was on top of refills. The fried foods tasted as if they had been cooked in very old/not changed oil and the Reuben sandwich which was starred on the menu as a specialty was bland and overcooked and the outside of the bread tasted burnt from a dirty grill.
