Went here once again with my entire family on Monday because it was my grandmother's birthday, and let me tell you.. The Carnival buffet is declining as far as food quality/quantity go :(
The local discount is no longer 50% off. It's now 25%, and that includes your Total Rewards Card. Not only is it pricier for locals, but their food is a bit of a disappointment. They still have delicious crab legs that you can get warm or cold (I prefer cold if you ask me), and the delicious cocktail shrimp which they now have in Cajun. The cajun shrimp honestly tastes like they just sprinkled it the powder it on it and served it as is. When it came to dessert time, they didn't even have much of a selection compared to the last other times we were here. HUGE disappointment if you ask me :(
Their service is the only reason why I gave them two stars. There were ten people in our table, yet our server was on top of his game! He took away our food and refilled our drinks, and the best part was that we didn't even have to ask him twice or we didn't even have to flag him down to ask for refills. It's like he read our minds and got what we needed.
With that said, Carnival Buffet had better service but everything else is on the decline. I would much rather pay a visit to the Village Seafood Buffet at the other side of the casino!
