            We dined at Doc Bales during a concert weekend stay. The food was not good and the service was even worse.

            Small, overpriced buffet. Convenient water views if staying in this dilapidated Hilton but otherwise no reason to dine here.

            This was a hotel restaurant with a buffet similar to what you would receive at a courtyard or garden Inn. The hotel at South is in disrepair and probably should be downgraded from a “Hilton”.

            Would not eat here again. We made this reservation cause everywhere online said they have crab legs. Even the link I confirmed the reservations pn. Has 9 pictures and 4 are crab legs, When we asked and showed them the pictures, the manager didn’t care and walked away. The food they had was very dry and not worth the money

            The quality of the food was not as good as it was during our previous visit. The bread was dry, the meat was overcooked. I do not feel we will dine again at this restaurant unless the reviews of the place improved.

            Late dining while staying at hotel. Buffet was average at best. Many choices were empty or dried out. Overall cleanliness of food area was terrible. Service was very slow and took forever to get attention to get drinks. $49.95 is way too expensive for this option. Avoid if possible

            We made a reservation and when we arrived we were told that they did not open until 4:00 pm - when we showed the the reservation @11:30 confirmed she dismissed us very rudely- not my problem- don’t care about your reservation- inform your management about you website confirming reservations

            Their buffet contained a wide variety of foods each one better than the last. Their Lo-Country Boil was outstanding chock full of shrimp, corn, potato etc. they had a Prime Rib carving station and unlike most, they had medium well available not just bloody medium. The servers were on point with drinks and clearing dishes. They had a large selection of fish both baked and broiled as well as chicken and a full salad/fruit bar. Desserts included chocolate cakes, key lime pie, cookies and fresh whip cream. I would definitely recommend their dinner buffet.
