Jernigan's - Orlando

Experience. The food service is sub par for a premium priced buffet. I understand most people come here for the experience of watching an nba game, but for my yelp loyal, I have to say that the food is not worth the price. The staff was stingy with the buffet items. One example, the roast at the carving station looked wonderful and had a second slab untouched. I 'm assuming they had plenty to go around. It wasn 't a terribly crowded night. I asked for a good slice of the roast beef. The guy proceeded to give me a paper thin slice. Fine. Can you carve me another? I asked. He sucked his teeth while carving another even thinner slice. I chuckled a bit and told him I 'd be back. Needless to say, a huge part of eating out is the experience. And the staff wasn 't overly happy to serve us, attitude at the ice cream station as well. Probably won 't be going back.

I has dinner here with a group of 12. Our dinner was included as part of our ticket for a magic game. In addition to dinner, drinks (beer and wine) were included. Our group was sat at 2 tables with a nice view of the basketball court. It was tucked away so there was only one other party in our area. Dinner was a buffet. There was a decent selection of food items- salad, charcuterie, veggies, nachos, a meat cutting station, and dessert. It would have been nice to have more selection but i didn't leave hungry. For drinks, we had several options for beer, most of which were light beers. I don't recall any IPAs or sours. I did not order wine. We put in our drink order with our server and it took awhile.... To the point that my husband got tired of waiting and ordered drinks at the bar. When our server came with the drinks, he kind of gave us a hard time about it and it seemed that he didn't want to give us our drinks (until my husband distributed the extra drinks to other people in our party who were drink-less). Although it wasn't the best meal, I thought the value was good since it was part of our basketball game ticket. This is an occasion where I wish I could give half stars- not a 4 star experience but better than 3. I'd give this 3.5 stars.

Disregard all other reviews this place was great. Amazing service. Great place to watch the game. Food was good. It is a buffet. Great place great environment.

Rude people that check you in. This used to be really good food , now it's below average not even quality food. A lot of the food wasn't even warm , some of the chicken wings weren't even properly cooked When the salad dressing is the best thing you offer you know there is an issue. For the price you pay you would think the food would be above average. Went to celebrate a birthday was such a waste of money

I have trouble rating this place anything under a five star. My daughter and I are season ticket holders in the lower promenade for the Magic, and we have come here for dinner several times during games. It is a $66 upgrade, inclusive of tax and gratuity. This lands you a ledge seat overlooking the basket under the Ozone. You also get a full buffer until end of third quarter. The menu changes daily and has a carving station, charcuterie, sundae bar and all sorts of rotating dishes. This is comparable to a banquet at a high end function. Worth every penny in my mind. Service is good, and many are regular servers. Jeff, the manager, is always attentive and on the floor. He slaps always calls back when we leave a message for a reservation. We will continue to visit as often as we can.
