" Big Rock Inn used to be a staple in my restaurant rotation, but after my recent visit, I left feeling disappointed. The atmosphere is still laid back and welcoming, which I appreciate, but the food has definitely declined. My sweet and sour chicken was overly sweet to the point of being sickening, and while the portion sizes were large, they didn't compensate for the lack of taste. I likely won’t return again. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a frequent visitor of Chinese buffets, I had high hopes for Big Rock Inn, yet I felt let down after my last visit. While the restaurant itself is clean and well-maintained, the buffet options were underwhelming. The garlic shrimp, which I had looked forward to, seemed bland, and the soy sauce lacked the right kick. I usually enjoy these places for the variety, however, I feel this visit lacked it. I appreciated the attentive service and generous portions. Maybe I’ll give them another chance but, as it stands, not my favorite buffet. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about Big Rock Inn's new management, I decided to try it out, and I must say, it was quite an experience! The dinner buffet was quite expansive, and many items were available. The BBQ pork was a highlight, very tender and flavorful. However, some dishes, like the shrimp, could have used better seasoning. The overall cleanliness of the restaurant was commendable, and the friendly staff contributed to a pleasant dining experience. I would recommend visiting for the buffet if you have a large appetite. " (*Curated Review*)

" We brought our kids to Big Rock Inn for a weekend lunch and the experience was decent. The service was prompt, and our waitress was charming. However, I found the food lacked seasoning across the board. My kids enjoyed the breaded chicken nuggets, but everything else fell short of impressive. Thankfully, the portion sizes were ample, and they left full. The decor and atmosphere are family-friendly, which is a plus, but I would suggest they work on enhancing their food's flavor. " (*Curated Review*)

" We chose Big Rock Inn for a family dinner, expecting some traditional favorites. We were met with a nice atmosphere and polite staff. However, the food didn’t meet our expectations. The chicken was tough, and the portions felt smaller than before; we were still very hungry after. Service was great, but the food quality really fell flat this time. I used to admire this place but am considering other options after this visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I remember when Big Rock Inn was a go-to spot for my family in years past. Although I’ve visited since the management switch, I can’t help but feel a bit disappointed. Everything from the crispy beef to the fried rice just lacked the flavor that used to make it special. The ambiance remains inviting, and the prices are fair, but without food consistency, I’m afraid I won’t be making it a regular stop anymore. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I decided to check out Big Rock Inn for dinner last night, and what an experience it was! We were impressed by the fast service, as our orders came out piping hot. The portions were incredibly generous; we ended up taking half our meals home. I tried the ginger beef, which was good but a bit sweet for my taste. My kids absolutely loved the sesame chicken. While I wouldn’t say it was the most authentic Chinese food I’ve ever had, it certainly hit the spot. We left feeling satisfied and will likely return. " (*Curated Review*)
