| - My sis had comps for the AYCE Grand Cafe (buffet) over at Palace Station.
We arrived a little after breakfast and just before lunch. I guess this is what those clever folks call..brunch. I'm not a frequent buffet person, but felt like this was the best time to show up; It seemed as if they had just transitioned from breakfast and had started lunch with plenty of fresh food being placed in the buffet area.
There were high's, and of course there were lows. The low's.. which I'll bang out right away were the pizza, hot dogs and chicken. All looked like food that has been sitting underneath a heat lamp for a full day. Cardboard like pizza, hot dogs are in water and the chicken was mixed.. good and bad pieces all in one tray.
Aside from that, they had a nice selection of foods ranging from fresh salads, fresh fruits, burgers, egg rolls, dumplings, orange chicken, honey baked ham, turkey, sausage and so on.
The highlights after digging through quite a bit of food had to be the honey baked ham (sweet, moist n' tender), sausage (juicy, salty and a little fatty), mashed potatoes (buttered, salted and smooth texture) stuffing (it was stuffing so..) and buttered corn. They have a chef right behind this counter ready to slice and dice you up some meat.
The dessert area isn't necessarily my thing.. but they had bun cakes, bread pudding, chocolate brownies, cookies and more. I grabbed a simple soft serve vanilla cone which was a nice topper.
Although nothing was truly out of this world, for a buffet, this free meal filled me up and most of what I ate was fresh and had flavor. Grand Cafe came through.
