Evergreen Buffet
 
Just came back from Winn Dixie, and noticed a Uhaul
truck by Evergreen Buffet. They were removing the kitchen equipment. Anyone know if they are closing for good, or relocating to another shopping center?

We were told they are renovating and will re-open as a restaurant, eliminating the buffet

Evergreen Buffet
 
Or, the cockroach issue caused a big drop in customers. Restaurant owners very rarely tell people their true intentions.

When the cockroaches closed down the China Buffet in Southern Trace, the same thing happened. They "remodeled" the whole place and reopened.

The place is still almost always empty.

Yep that closing killed it for me. Hope that is not the case for Evergreen and I hope they do not lose the buffet

We still like to go there. The last couple times we went, I have to say they had a pretty decent crowd.

They still have a current health department rating of "U" and a failing score of 65 per the "What the Health FL" app. I hope they have done more than remove the buffet line. They had 10 basic violations, 4 high priority violations, an 2 intermediate violations. 3 of the high priority were repeat violations.

IMO, they should be permanently banned from restaurant ownership and involvement.

Well, dang! That report seems to be in conflict with this one from the State:
Licensing Portal - Inspection Details

You're being unfair.

Cockroaches gotta eat too.

The report in your link is for the China Buffet Chinese restaurant on Wedgewood Ln. The report I have noted is for the Evergreen Buffet in Pinellas Plaza.

Bonny - his quote is not about the Evergreen Buffet.

When I responded earlier to your post, it was when you mentioned China Buffet on Southern Trace so I think the conversation switched to that from Evergreen.

There you go. In living color too!

The app is really one to keep handy if you plan on eating out.
