| - First, let me explain my star-rating if I may..
NO buffet, not even the M Buffet will ever get 5 stars. Why? BECAUSE IT'S A BUFFET, that's why. Let's be real here folks, buffets are glorified cafeteria food, the same food if not a slight grade above employee dining food. So when we're talking buffet ratings, a 4 star deal, in my opinion would be the MAX.
When the stress of the day along with record temperatures leave my brain fried, I tend to not be in the market for even the most minor decision making. Though I am not a huge fan of group troff dining, it seems to be the best bet when undecided is the verdict for where and what to eat for dinner.
If you are not starving when you first arrive at the Silverton, have no fear, the hour wait just to be seated (even on a Wednesday) will have your stomach growling by the time your butt hits the seat.
Salad, soup are your usual suspects at any buffet along with the dessert station. But the Italian cuisine was delicious and not your typical spaghetti and pizza, they threw in some rolled eggplant, and fried raviolis, yum! The Asian area was pretty decent..well the noodles were good, the fried rice tasted like Mexican rice to me, which worked out considering they didn't have a Spanish themed station at all there! (weird).
The carving station: WOW, I'm not sure what sort of animal they slaughtered for the "prime rib" but it could very well have been a dinosaur. I've never seen a bone-in hunk of meat so large in my life. Since I'm not a meat eater this made my stomach turn and I quickly sprinted past the station to some more animal friendly choices.. such as mac and cheese (yum) and some fried fish.
Dessert was decent. I was pleasantly surprised that I did not have to peel a crunchy layer back from anything I tasted, it was all sliced and served fresh! Best part was cheesecake and ice cream (chocolate chip mint), worst, the pumpkin pie (ick!).
All in all, was it worth the wait.. sure, almost anythings worth the wait when your starving, ha ha. Would I eat there again, sure, why not.
Undecided on where to eat? Try the Silverton Buffet
