| - Hmm maybe my standards are low, but I actually enjoyed this buffet. Hey, it's no Bellagio, but then again, it's only $13, not $35. This is just a nice standard buffet, nothing super fancy. It's fun.. there's an Asian section with fried rice, chow mein, surprisingly tasty vegetable spring rolls, and other assorted "Asian" foods.. including a big bowl of fortune cookies. Then you move on to more "American" choices such as corn bread, mashed potatoes, cheesy potatoes, chicken, beef, ham slices, hamburgers (with all the trimmin's), french fries (surprisingly good!), and then there's the "Mexican" corner with a taco station, tamales, refried beans, tostada shells in oddly neon shades of red and blue (seriously folks, the blue was electric). To end the actual buffet is the salad bar, which was boring. You'd think they'd have a nice salad section, but no, it's just a bowl of mixed greens and some basic choices like cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. Stay away from the mushrooms, they were all icky brown.
The dessert area was cool. There are the usual pies and cakes and cookies. Sugar free choices as well. I had some carrot cake and I didn't realize I had grabbed the sugar free one by accident. It was actually quite good anyway. The BEST part of the buffet was the ice cream counter! There were about 10 flavors to choose from, including mint chip, rainbow sherbet, rocky road, butter pecan, and BLUE BUBBLEGUM! The kid in me had to get a scoop of that. They have someone behind the counter serve you, and they give BIG scoops.
The price of dinner also includes one beer or glass of wine.
So if you're looking for a decent but not fancy buffet, try Sam's Town. And make sure you check out the "Sunset Stampede" in the evening.. it's a laser/water/animatronic animal show. It's so cheesy that it's entertaining to the max. I don't know about you, but after I've had a fun buffet dinner, nothing is more fun than watching animatronic bears and coyotes do stuff.
