| - This is your run of the mill Vegas cafe, but my review today will be based on their Friday offerings. Because of Friday, it's Friyay, and that's because you can get Cr-cr-craaaazy with their all you can eat CRAB!
Currently priced at $23.99 it includes two side dishes (mashed/baked/french fry potatoes, mac n cheese, fruit, veggies, etc). It's actually an impressive list of side items. Frankly, if you're there for the crab, like me, they just get in the way. My absolute favorite thing about their all you can eat crab is that it's served to you. That's right. NO BUFFET LINE!!! How awesome is that? They are steam crab legs, so buyer beware. In my opinion, they are outstanding. Much meatier than the Station Casino offerings, they are served with a little cut in the shell in them making them easy to break via hand. Almost all of them are juicy and not overcooked, which often happens at buffets. They even give you butter with a little candle under it doesn't harden. They must know that guys like me are in it for the long haul.
Oh yeah, and you always get complimentary dinner rolls and corn bread. These are really good too - the dinner rolls are always warm and fresh. The corn bread is surprisingly good, sweet, very much like my Mom's corn bread. Make sure to ask for it!
The one negative is that it can occasionally take a little while to get your crab refills. Because it's not a buffet line you have servers running around like crazy trying to keep up. They do the best they can, but often it' takes a good 4-5 minutes to get some additional crab. On a non-crab night their service is spot on, but I definitely give them some leeway given the demand they have on Friday nights.
In my opinion, this is up there with the M buffet for best all-care-to-eat Crabbing, if not a slight notch above because of price point.
Speaking of run-of-the-mill cafe's, they're kind of a thing of the past. I love the feel of older Vegas diners. Sadly they are all starting to disappear. There is something nostalgic about eating from a diner that opened in the 60's or 70's at 2am on a Thursday night.
