Yes, it's considered Counter Service and what Counter Service it is! AWESOME! They giver GENEROUS servings, sometimes my hubbie/I actually split a meal as it's a generous serving. The best Counter Service. We ALWAYS make a few special trips there, that's if we're not staying there at the time. You WILL not be dissapointed. Also, you eat on plates, yes, plates and not paper along with silverware. I love it! Enjoy !
