| - I have been to the Garden Court Buffet many times. I have been for lunch and dinner. Every time I go I find that nothing has changed. With the exceptions of their special nights, Tuesday - T-Bone night, Thursday - Steak & Scampi night, Friday - Seafood night, and Saturday - Prime Rib night, the menu always remains the same. Not that the menu is bad. The food is OK, but not great.
They have the same stations that almost all buffet's have. Their salad station is not very large, but it has a lot of choices to go onto your salad. My biggest complaint about the salad bar is that the only lettuce that have is iceberg. Please give us some more choices. The Italian station has pizza, pastas, and garlic bread. All are pretty good again, but not great. The Mexican and Asian stations have some good choices. I do think they have one of the best spring rolls of many of the buffets I have been to.
The meat station usually has several choices. I have had turkey, ham, prime rib and more. They have a Italian Sausage that is always very tasty. My wife had some spaghetti and said the sauce was only OK. Then she added the Italian Sausage and it brought a lot of flavor to the pasta. Every time I go the meat station seems to have Brisket and I try it every time. I love Brisket. It can make one of the best BBQ sandwiches if done right. But, their Brisket has never been that good. It is always fatty and hard to chew. The flavor is not even worth mentioning.
I know I seem to be hard on the Garden Court Buffet. But, the chef's put out a good presentation. I think the main issue is the quality of what they have to work with. If they were given better ingredients to start with I know this would be one of the best buffets in Las Vegas. If they had better ingredients to work with, the cost would have to go up though. I think it would be worth it.
I have been once or twice where the service has not been that good. But only once or twice. Other than that the service staff is very attentive. Plates are cleared from the table in a timely manner. Refills on beverages come almost faster than you can drink them. I really enjoy the service we get at the Garden Court Buffet.
