| - Okaaaayyy, i went to the coffee shop. i wish i just got coffee, but nooooo -- my boyfriend was hungry, so i fed him. he had the prime rib - that is, he would have had the prime rib if they would serve you what you want when you want it. but it wasn't 4:00 PM yet, so we had to alter our choices. He had a big steak, juicy enough, I guess, though his mashed potatoes looked like vanilla yogurt. I had the fish and chips.....
.....$14.95 FOR 2 PIECES OF CRUSTY FISH!!! puh-leeeeze! I don't even count the stringy fries as part of the dish - I was paying for the fish. no re-fills on my milk, i guess that was expected. our server was kind of blase' about the whole thing. i don't like to stiff people on tips, but i left her less than i usually would. we were only in the coffee shop because the buffet was closed down for the turnover to dinner.
The Silverton is a cowboy casino, clean and simple. that's OK, BUT!... AND THIS IS MY BIG BUTT... you have to be in the mood for a cowboy casino. in other words, expect a lot of yahoos of various uncouth proportions.
MAIN GOOD POINT: check out the super-cool hunting/fishing store. lots and lots of outdoor camping equipment and far out boats. there's a cool fish tank where you can sometimes see a diver swimming around doing things to the inside of the tank.
In summation, the buffet is average, but good and filling; as for the coffee shop - bring a thermos and drink your coffee in the desert... it'll be more fun.
