Paul Bunyan's Cook Shanty

Looked like a fun place to eat, but never ate there before. Didn't realize you pay 1st like a buffet, THEN wait to be seated standing in 2 lines behind half doors, not just choose a table- not sure why they took another family in before us, even though we arrived right before they did. After being seated, we couldn't find a buffet. We didn't know what to do, so we sat there watching others get seated & frantic hostesses or waitresses running around. Finally after 10 minutes we were pretty thirsty, so I started to the waitress station myself looking for a glass of water. A gal who worked there ran up to me & asked if she could help. I said we hadn't been approached yet at our table & we didn't have anything to drink. She said she'd find our waitress. It was another 5 minutes before our waitress popped by saying she'd be right with us. Then within a couple minutes she had another person helping her bring water, coffee, & plates of food to the table all at once, apologizing she didn't see us right away. I guess it's an all you can eat family style where if you want, they keep bringing whatever it is they're serving. It would've been nice to have been asked if we'd ever eaten there before & that explained when we were seated. The food was great & our waitress attentive after that. We'd noticed others when seated, got coffee, water & donuts right away while waiting for the regular food to come out, which seemed about 5-10 minutes later. It would've been nicer to have that, than all the drinks & food at once also.
