  • A Buffet Lover’s Dream: Golden Apple Buffet in Snellville, GA

    There’s something special about a place you keep coming back to—not once, not twice, but a third time—and that’s exactly how I feel about Golden Apple Buffet in Snellville, Georgia. If you know me, you know I love a good buffet, and this spot continues to hit every single time.

    From the moment you walk in, you can tell why Golden Apple stays busy. The restaurant is clean, organized, and constantly full of energy—always a good sign when it comes to food. And trust me, the food does not disappoint.

    One of my favorite things about Golden Apple Buffet is the variety. This isn’t your average buffet. They offer hibachi made fresh, a solid sushi selection, and even pho with rich, flavorful broth that feels comforting from the first sip. Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared, which is not always easy to find at a buffet.

    Let’s talk seafood—because if you’re a seafood lover like me, this place will make your heart (and belly) happy. The fresh seafood options are one of the main reasons I keep coming back. There’s nothing better than being able to go back for seconds… or thirds… without guilt. That’s the beauty of a buffet done right.

    The authentic Chinese dishes are full of flavor, the sushi is well-made, and the pho brings warmth and depth that feels homemade. Even the fruit stood out—fresh, juicy, and perfectly ripe, which is always a pleasant surprise at a buffet.

    By the end of my visit, my belly was full and my soul was satisfied. Golden Apple Buffet delivers comfort, variety, and quality all in one place. It’s perfect for family dinners, casual outings, or when you’re just in the mood to eat a little bit of everything.

    If you’re ever in Snellville, GA, or nearby, make sure to check out Golden Apple Buffet. Come hungry, take your time, and enjoy the experience—you’ll definitely leave full and happy.

  • Back at the Lobster Trap: A Seafood Throwback with a Twist of New Leadership 🦞

    So, me and my homegirl decided to take a little seafood stroll down memory lane and hit up none other than Red Lobster. Yes, that Red Lobster — home of the iconic Cheddar Bay Biscuits that still slap just like you remember (and yes, we had to get extra to-go 😅).

    It’s honestly been years since I last stepped foot in a Red Lobster, but this time, something felt different — in a good way. Did you know Red Lobster now has a new CEO? Shoutout to Famolade Adamolekun, who recently stepped in to lead the brand. That’s major! It’s refreshing to see fresh leadership taking over a nostalgic name in dining, especially one that’s been around since 1968 — yep, Red Lobster has been serving up seafood classics for over 50 years.

    We pulled up expecting a quiet dinner, but to my surprise, the vibe was alive — not packed to the brim, but just the right amount of busy. A comfortable buzz of families, date nights, and friends catching up filled the room. The staff? Super friendly and attentive — customer service was on point!

    I went all in and got the crab legs 🦀 — juicy, tender, and seasoned just right. My homegirl tried the seafood boil, and it looked like it came straight from the bayou. You ever tried it? If not, that might need to be your next order!

    And of course, no Red Lobster trip is complete without those warm, cheesy biscuits. Iconic. Legendary. Still undefeated. 💛

    All in all, it was a vibe. Sometimes it’s good to revisit places from your past and see how they’re holding up — and Red Lobster? Still got it.

    When’s the last time you been to Red Lobster? Have you tried the boil yet? Let me know your go-to order.

  • Panama City Beach, Fl

    Panama City Beach, FL

    I had a chance to go to the beach with some friends and have some fun. It was my birthday as usual I got to be somewhere with some water. We had a great time. We ate a lot of Crab legs. We went to an all you can eat buffet with crab legs, seafood and more.

    We also went to ClubLaVela, which was really nice. While we were there Bone Crusher came to perform all the way from Atlanta GA. The place had so many different levels and parts you could go to. Nice big TV outside with a pond and just real classy and nice.

    The Beach was nice and beautiful. Great place to go out with your friends and enjoy just experiencing the different beaches in FL is nice and they have clear water beaches. Once you experienced nice water you would go back for me. September was a great month to go.

    Thankful for great friends and great vibes. Also came back here for a family trip and we did wonderworks and different activities. We enjoyed the indoor pools and hot tubs. Panama City Beach is not too far from Atlanta. It’s a nice place to getaway for the weekend if you want to relax, enjoy the beach and it has a lot of entertainment for family and friends.

    Have you ever been? If so, how was your experience? Where did you stay?

  • Rockin Crab by Stonecrest Mall

    Got a chance to try this place out. I have been meaning to get in here since it opened. Glad I got a chance to go . The customer service was very good. They checked on us to make sure we had refills and everything. I was very pleased. When the customer service is good you always will come back. Great service needs to be everywhere you go. I always believe that customer service should be number one when in that type of business.

    Next the food was delicious. Those crab legs and shrimp were nice and fresh. Was just enough for what I ordered. The sauce was good. Everything was good. I like juicy crabs but this place I definitely would come back and enjoy.

    It had a live DJ that had us jamming in our seats. It wasn’t ratchet music, it was just good music with a different selection of styles. So it was like you were jamming in your seat while eating just enjoying the vibe. It was really cool to see that.

    It was not crowded at all so that was a good thing. All I can say about this place is that the first experience was a great experience. I definitely will be back and will tell people about it. Glad to have a seafood place close by also. Never can go wrong with some good seafood.

    If you have not checked this place out and love seafood. This place is great for you. It’s close to Stonecrest mall and you can’t miss it. Great food, vibes and music can’t beat it.
