| - Certain things are a miss, others are a hit. It depends on your tastes, but I think that my observations here can be somewhat universal. I probably wouldn't pay the full $20 for dinner--either come at lunch for a reduced price, or come when they're offering specials (like BOGO January). I didn't find the Italian and Asian sections very impressive. The former consisted mostly of standard pizzas and cheesy pastas. The latter offered sushi with lots of rice and minimal fish; standard offerings of fried rice, lo mein, and stir-fried (overcooked) meats; and a "Mongolian" DIY stir-fry. Nothing much more than your standard bar or Chinese takeout food.
The "American" and "Barbecue" sections are better. There are sides ranging from potato skins to chili to mac and cheese to fill your pallet if you choose to do so, but you should really aim for the meats. The prime rib is where you get your money's worth, and when we were here it was done perfectly, tender and lots of flavor. They also had grilled catfish fillets, which were just as good. For more variety, they had ham and turkey as well.
The dessert options were surprisingly numerous, considering the limitations on the actual food. You could probably fill yourself up by eating one or two of each dessert offering (though obviously that's not recommended!). Some are hit or miss, though they were mostly above average. I quite liked the tiramisu and cream puffs--the lighter options. I found the baklava overly sweet, while the gelato was disappointingly lacking in texture. The cheesecake and chocolate cake were pretty standard. I didn't get to try any of the pies, though they looked like typical as well.
All in all, this isn't Vegas, but it's a casino buffet. Service was fine--plates were taken away and drinks refilled often enough. Again, just try to come here at a reduced price if possible.
