I was in town snowboarding, and we decided to give the place a try, we were really hungry and there were no buffets in town that I knew of.

So we drive out to the casino to have dinner. When we get to the cash register, (pay before you dine) we are rather surprised to see the price was about $21. We debated leaving right then, but we were hungry and gave in.

We sat down, waited, no waiter came, so we got up and went to get food. We actually struggled to fill our plates as the food selection was rather poor. We return to the table and begin eating, waiting for a waiter to take a drink order. This never happened. We finished what little tasted edible and sat there a moment commenting on the food and service.

Finally a waiter comes after about 20 minutes and takes a drink order, which takes another 10 minutes to come. By this time we have returned to the table with another plate of food. We drink our drinks, which empty out quickly since its almost all ice, and we are without drinks again. Needless to say service was poor..

About the food.. well.. nothing really special on the buffet, your standards, pizza, pasta, salad, chicken nuggets, macaroni & cheese. No greek, no steak, or lamb, or any type of fine dining items. The food was cold, flavorless, and was absolutely horrible. TV dinners produce better results.

We decided after 2 attempts of filling our plate that it was a lost cause, we had eaten probably all we wanted, and it was time to go. As we left the place we both commented, that we felt we had been robbed. Its one thing to buy dinner and it be bad. But a completely different thing to buy an expensive dinner and it be bad. No service just topped it off.

I would never recommend this place to anyone, drive into town, or try one of the restaurants in the casino, but stay away from the buffet.

Variety: American, BBQ, Buffet, Burgers, Chinese, Chicken, Homestyle, Italian, Mexican, Pizza, Seafood

Pros: None at all.. Everything was bad.

Cons: No Service, Cold Food, Poor Selection
