| - Out of all the buffets I've tried in Vegas, Studio B Buffet at the M Resort is definitely my favorite. What make this buffet amazing are the unlimited glasses of alcohol, the impressive selection of desserts and the extensive menu items available from Greek fare to Thai cuisine all at a reasonable price. Entrees include Pad Thai, Chile Relleno, Osso Buco, fried shrimp, sushi, curries, Eggplant Parmesan, Beef with Broccoli, along with many other dishes. During the weekends, the seafood buffet includes snow crab legs and oysters, so if you like these, definitely check out the buffet then.
Whenever I go to this buffet, I always start off with salads, which are fresh and delicious. My favorites are the Greek salad (Romaine lettuce, diced veggies, feta cheese, and olives dressed in a simple vinaigrette) and the Caprese salad. I then move on to the entrees. I like the Mahi-Mahi (found at the meat station), which has been glazed with a sweet pineapple sauce and cooked on bamboo, and the grilled lamb (found at the Asian section), which is tender and glazed with a sweet fruity sauce. The Prime Rib and Kalbi are good as well; however, on some occasions, I have found these meat entrees to not be consistent in quality. I always make sure to grab a bowl of oxtail soup from the Asian section. Although the soup itself is greasy, I enjoy the exotic flavors and the tenderness of the oxtail. There are other dishes I enjoy at the buffet as well, but there are too many to describe in one review.
After I've filled up on entrees, it's time for dessert- my favorite part of the buffet experience! And at Studio B buffet, they know how to do dessert very well, and deserve 5 stars. I grab a few slices of cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, and pineapple next to the sushi section so I feel less guilty about the upcoming sugar fest, and proceed to the small bar located next to the soup and bread section to order a glass of cider. Let me pause for a moment and talk about the cider. This cider is the only "alcoholic drink" I've tried at this buffet, but it's my favorite. I love the fruity apple taste, the fizziness, and the slight sweetness. It's refreshing and doesn't taste too strong of alcohol. Anyways, back to the desserts. My favorites include the Oreo Mousse and Tiramisu shooters, the Crème Brulee, the chocolate cake with the crunchy cookie layer, and the banana gelato (which tastes like banana fosters but creamier and colder).
You may be wondering why I gave this buffet 4 stars instead of 5. Well, the wait to eat at this buffet can be very long, especially during dinner. I suggest going there early when they first open for lunch or dinner. Also, the price difference between lunch and dinner does not justify the change in selection of entrees. To get a better deal but with basically the same entrees, I suggest going for lunch (except for those who need to have prime rib and crab legs). Anyways, I always suggest Studio B buffet to visitors who ask me what buffet they should eat at. Although it's located about 15 minutes away from the Strip, I think it's well worth it for visitors who want a great buffet experience.
