Mt. Everest Cafe

A nice place to sit and look around - peaceful. The atmosphere is so lovely. CUISINE. People running the place are genuinely hospitable. FOOD IS SO FLAVORFUL. (not too spicy for your friend who's "not sure about that place" because they "don't really like spicy food" SERIOUSLY JUST TAKE THEM THERE) "Homemade hot sauce" on the salad bar is sooo delicious; I hope they give me the recipe in exchange for this glowing review. In fact, be sure to create two little volcano type shapes with the main dishes on your plate so you can put spoonfuls of the homemade yogurt sauce in one and a bunch of hot sauce in the other. Lots of fun ways to eat this food, with your friends or your kids or maybe just yourself. Pleasantly nourishing!

I wouldn’t recommend dining at this establishment. I ate there for lunch and we had a few issues with our experience. First and foremost, we saw an employee, leave the bathroom without washing their hands, and immediately go touch the handle of the serving utensil on the buffet. Second, they charge for everybody in the party, whether or not they’re eating. Example, I have two small children and I had to pay for them even though one of them literally wasn’t eating since they’re an infant and the other one was 18 months and barely ate any food. Third the buffet line was not stocked adequately or regularly. During our duration of an hour in the facility, we had to wait for at least three things on their small buffet at any time. By the time we left, we had just made do with what was on there, and was ready to leave after we saw the employee in the bathroom, not wash their hands and go and touch stuff on the buffet line. Fourth they keep a motorized vehicle inside their restaurant. This vehicle has clearly been outside prior to being inside. It’s a shame I’ve been dining at this establishment off and on since 2011 and unfortunately it just seems to be going downhill for years now.

Actually couldn’t even tell you how the food is. We walked out due to poor service. Stopped in at 12:30 for lunch. Not busy. At all. The waitress walked right past, never acknowledged us, dropped some silverware on the table and kept walking. Her next trip past the table 7 minutes later was to drop off water. She asked if we were doing the buffet. I said we weren’t sure. Before I could even ask for menu’s she was gone again. Just plain rude… It was then we decided that if the service was that poor, the food must be terrible. So we left.
