| - Brutal. This Feast Buffet is just not tops with me in regards to any of Station Casinos buffet mania. This along with the Feast Buffet at the Palace Station are towards the bottom for me. Sometimes you really do get what you paid for.
The Feast Buffet at Texas Station has just about most of the same food stations as other Station Casino properties. You have your American section, Chinese section, Italian section, and Mexican section. There is a nominal salad bar, as well as a basic dessert section. This one is just sad because they don't even serve gelato! Only soft serve, which didn't look too appetizing on the bland dessert section.
I ate here only because yep...it was cheap. With your Station Casino card you can have lunch for about $7.99 per person. A buffet, sure, but don't get your hopes up. Most of the food in the sections are just plain BLAH. The turkey was dry. The fried chicken was over fried. The mashed potatoes were pretty bad. How do you mess that up? The Italian section was average, but pasta was overcooked, and the meat sauce was just OK. The pizza station wasn't my favorite, the crust was too doughy from being a tad undercooked. You can get a burger or a hot dog, but make sure you request one that is fresh grilled in front of you otherwise you'll get one that has been sitting in a container of water/grease that sits in the corner of the grill. Bleech. Just don't do it. The Chinese section? Oh man. Crap-tastic. Crap-tastic! Some of the worse Asian food at a buffet I've ever had. The stir fry was overcooked and loaded with baby corn. Where's the beef? The sweet and sour chicken was hard from sitting too long, and the egg rolls were overdone. Sad. Even the white rice was too hard from being under the heat too long.
OK, so you figure at Texas Station the draw would be the BBQ section? Wrong. It was pretty plain as well. BBQ chicken was dry, slathered sloppily with sauce. The brisket was overcooked, ending up stringy with no moisture. The sauce was standard that probably came from a bottle. Too fake-sweet with no oomph. Not world class at all.
The only saving grace of this Feast Buffet and the reason I gave it an extra star is because of the Mexican section. They tout on their billboard that you can have all-you-can-eat tacos al pastor. Luckily, luckily, they are of good caliber. They are damn delicious! And those guys know how to make it correct. A couple of fresh tortillas on the grill, a scoop of al pastor, topped with some cilantro, raw onion, red or green salsa? Muchos gracias! This was pretty much all I ate while here at the buffet. I must have had like 9 or 10 of them for lunch. They were good! The tortillas were fresh, the al pastor was made well with some heat and some sweet, cool from the salsa, some texture from the cilantro and onions, and acid from a squeeze of lime. Best bite I had during my time here!
Will be back as long as they keep the quality of the tacos al pastor up. It is worth it for the buffet price alone. You figure almost $2 a taco on the street? Makes it worth it to hit up the Feast Buffet at the Texas Station for just shy of $8.
Ole!
