| - I have discovered in the few trips that I have made to Vegas that buffets are hit or miss, and Garden Court is definitely a HIT! The sheer variety and quality of the food is astounding, and I'm so glad we took the short walk over to Main Street Station from our home base at the Fremont Casino. (The Paradise Buffet at the Fremont is mediocre at best)
I love Asian food, and the Garden Court had Chinese and Japanese selections, all of which were fresh, flavorful, and uncharacteristically NOT overcooked (A sad reality for most buffet food). The miso soup was quite honestly one of the best I have ever tasted, and I consider myself a miso soup connoisseur. I went back for seconds!
They have carving stations for turkey, ham, and beef, and the sides are delicious. The macaroni and cheese was especially excellent. Fried chicken was plump, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. You won't find any dried out nubs of rubber in that tray!
The desert selection for lunch was typical: pies, cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. But they did have some special little selections, like miniature cheesecakes which were tasty, but nothing I would scream about.
Service was great and the restaurant was very clean and comfortable.
It is inside the Main Street Station Casino, which has a... Railroad theme.... shocking, I know. I thought the entire building and decor were beautiful, although the casino itself left a bit to be desired. But we enjoyed Garden Court so much that we happily went back for lunch a second time.
We did not try breakfast or dinner here, but we certainly will try them on a future trip.
For the price, quality, and value, I can't think of a better buffet downtown.
