Meats are a bit overly marinated and salty. We got charged for an order we didn’t place but luckily double check the bill to catch that.

They were a little slow on the service but honestly, for Thanksgiving they serve so many people and keep such a positive attitude, I can't really hold it against them. Food quality is always good, and although our Thanksgiving Turkey dinners cost $55, we got 2 meals out of each. They always deliver.

The holiday buffets are always delicious at the Drill! The only recommendation I could make is that some of the vegetables (green beans and baby carrots) are swapped out for more desirable vegetable options such as broccoli or a broccoli casserole.
