| - This is for the buffet only at Texas Station. My relatives come here to gamble. But I was just there for the food, at lunch. They take me trhough the long line. Since they are frequent gamblers, my meal was about $7.00 with a frequent gambling card. I honestly don't know how much it is for the non gambling types, probably other reviewers will say.
This buffet is huge - twice the size of neighboring Fiesta Station's buffet. It must be about 100 feet long. I decided to walk and see what was there before making choices. Nice American section which was the largest. They had a slab of roast beef and ham, so you wait in line to get a cut. Or, you can have them make you a chargrilled hamburger, or grill your self-created burrito in the Mexican section. I had no patience for any of that. First plate - They had a decent barbecue section, and I got some ribs with collards, cole slaw, and corn on the cob with some fried rice and orange chicken from the next door Chinese section. They had some good hot and sour soup, but there is also a soup section next to the Mexican section. Back to the BBQ section, my sister had some of the pulled pork, it was was good.
Most everything was good. I didn't go to their large salad bar which had things like pear halves and various lettuces, fresh fruit (watermelon and cantaloupe) and pre made salads. Surprisingly, that was the least busy area.
They had a Cajun section with fish and seafood gumbo with dirty rice. They even had hush puppies and corn fritters but I didn't try any. So, for plate number 2, I decided to get fried chicken which was just OK and more vegetables. And,t the vegetables were good - glazed yams, steamed beans, and more collards again. I also got some penne pasta with a meatball and sauce.
In light of my doctor's command that I minimize my time and volume eating at buffets (geez there are a LOT of happy but big bodied eaters here!) I stopped at plate 2 and opted for some desserts. The 20 different pies, cookies, and cakes looked good, and there were even some no sugar added creations. But I decided on eating two of the mousse in a cup - one was vanilla cream with chocolate, the other was cream with a strawberry glze. Thank God they only came in 3 oz. containers, it was rich and probably bad for you. I also had a red velvet cupcake - kind of dry but pretty.
My eyes wanted to try more things, but maybe we can go again soon. It was time to gamble before heading home. It might sound like this is like Hometown Buffet, but really, the food is way better and there is greater variety.
One thing I hate about Vegas casinos, though, is all the smoking in the casino. So if that bugs you, beware. Also, it you're with someone who uses a cane, ask them if they'd prefer getting pushed in a wheelchair. They also have valet parking. This place is huge and is a challenge for those who can't walk a quarter mile by the time you park, go to the buffet, and walk back out to the car.
