| - Not gonna complain, not the best but I came here multiple times during my stay!
Came to the Garden Buffet at the South Point while I stayed at the hotel on the weekend of the Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con. When you stay there, you get a funbook with lots of handy coupons to use throughout the hotel! Needless to say, one of the big draws is the coupon for the 50% off the buffet, any meal of any day during your stay. They gave me TWO coupon books, so I was able to use this coupon twice! Double the savings! Nice!
Anywho, back to the buffet. The Garden Buffet is by far not the greatest of buffets AT ALL. It isn't on par with Bellagio, Caesar's Palace, or Wynn so don't even think about it. But for me, it's OK. Not everyone can charge that amount of money for a fancy buffet. Pricing at the Garden Buffet is along the lines of buffets for Station Casinos. But the quality of the food here is hit & miss. Lots of miss, but a few bright spots.
First time I visited the buffet was Friday evening for their seafood buffet. With the players club membership (free) it cost $24.95 plus tax, but with the funbook coupon it came in at $12.50 plus tax! How friggin' cheap is THAT?? Plus it came with a glass of white or red wine!! Look, I know it ain't fancy or high class but for that little scratch you sure can get your money's worth if you eat right. And folks sure looked like they were.
People had plates upon plates (upon plates) of crab legs, oysters, and fried shrimp. One guy I watched had three plates of just crab legs in front of him, a tub of melted butter, and another plate for crab leg shells. I myself had several plates of crab legs, but also tried the other fare like prime rib, and little bit of everything else. Quality? Eh, not bad, of course the crab legs were are from pre-frozen but there were areas in the buffet where you could get cold crab legs as well as steamed crab legs. I went for mostly steamed. A squeeze of lemon & a dab of melted butter? Not bad! Best thing is the crab legs are already cut in half giving you precious time to eat more for less work. Glass of wine was a nice touch. The rest of the buffet food was just OK, nothing special but nothing of uber high quality or taste. Their spaghetti sauce though is kinda off though, not very tasty. Prime rib was a tad overdone for me too. But a seafood buffet for $13 was one of the cheapest ways to eat at South Point!
Second time I ate at the Garden Buffet was my last meal on Sunday before I checked out. Went to the brunch, which was an even better deal! $15.95 before funbook coupon, only $7.98 plus tax after! Also, with bottomless mimosas! Get fed! Get drunk! For cheap! I actually enjoyed the brunch more than the dinner because the food choices were more appealing to me. I had a slice of prime rib, some BBQ ribs, and even a cook-to-order omelette! It was actually quite good. Many of the items on the buffet were subpar, but those few things did stand out. Even got an extra mimosa to go!
The next time Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con is in town I'll most likely stay at the South Point again and partake of the funbook coupons. Pretty good way to stretch your dollar on a busy Vegas weekend. Yes a cheap buffet does usually mean cheap foods, but in the end...it's still CHEAP!
