| - One of our mainstays on the buffet circuit, mainly due to it being the Station Casino closest to our house (so we get to burn our comps here most often).
Breakfast ($6.99 w/ players card) and lunch ($8.99 w/ players card) are pretty good deals, but get to lunch early if you have to get back to work, since I've seen 30 mins lines for weekday lunches.
Dinner is $14-15 depending on the day, and $25 on Friday for more seafood, but honestly I don't think it's as good a deal as breakfast or lunch. One of my pet peeves is that there is no decent bread to be had, not even for brunch. Smoked salmon on toast isn't really my thing.
Being off the strip, traffic and parking is not a problem. Service is hit or miss, depending which server you get, as in most buffets.
The food:
Over the last 10 years, the dishes served haven't really changed much. The chinese food that's not breaded is typically pretty good, and as a healthy option, the mongolian bbq cooked to order is nice (specify "no oil" !). The pasta station provides some relief from the stuff just sitting out in the warming tray, and occasionally the pizza is really good when it comes out fresh (sometimes the crust is a bit thick for my taste).
Some vegetable choices are pretty low on salt and high in butter, but the Collard Greens they had today (not always on the menu) were pretty good. The turkey from the carving station is typically cooked well (unlike Southpoint's), and the dessert area is ok.
Not gourmet food, but for a $9 lunch hard to beat.
