Not sure about the other reviews of The Spread.
We've visited for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. There have been lines once or twice but each time the staff has moved people in quickly, the tables were always bussed and drink service has been prompt.
The food offerings have been varied, prep and replacement have been prompt. The quality of the choices can vary, but the meats and desserts have always been impressive. Rare prime rib is always tender - and would benefit from grated horseradish vs. creamy, but is always moist and not fatty.
Salads and pastas can be really good or the stereotypical buffet products - so - if they aren't interesting or look tired, just move on. Filling up on mediocre items and then complaining about it defeats the benefits of a buffet.
Special items can be great - check out the Shuffle area for options. The Asian area also seems to have interesting surprises each time. The fresh fruit is always a small but stellar display at the opposite end of the display from the Asian display.
The servers are always friendly and prompt. We've been seated next to a bus station and the bus boy was amazing. He moved dishes so quietly that we didn't even notice his work.
It's a buffet. It has variety, it's kept well stocked and sparkling and you can always find delicious options. With special offers from Horseshoe we'll definitely come back and enjoy the food fest.
The food gets 3 stars - the servers we've had take it up to 4.
