Definitely noticeable that they just don’t have enough staff. Being the only “open” sit down place on a Monday means a good chunk of people are going to come and they are just not equipped for it. There’s a line and there are empty tables inside but it’s clearly because one waiter can only do so much. Food was not good. Eggs and toast can’t really mess up but the beef hash tasted like fish the Hash browns also tasted like fish. It was like everything that was cooked was cooked in a pan that was used for fish. Not very pleasant after having a nice party the night before….. took forever to get the check which again understaffed but still . And then took forever to get the check. Took a long time to get asked if we needed anything else like that extra coffee and water that you need during your meal.

We went there and it was so crowded one time but we didn’t mind they were short staffed which is understandable especially during the pandemic. The waiter kept saying he was very sorry for our wait which was nice. Our breakfast came and it was very good. When it came time to pay the check he came over and said you folks have been patient, kind and this breakfast is on me. Have a lovely day. We tipped him very well. That’s was superb costumer service.

We went for breakfast as its the only place open besides Dunks The food was cold and was not made to order. It basically was the same food as the buffet. We requested cheese in our eggs and it wasn’t even melted. $81 for 3 meals and not a one was even half finished.

Was there this past weekend and it was an awful experience. Waited half an hour to be seated, upon being sat over half the restaurant had open tables which were all not cleaned. The service was very slow and the food was beyond mediocre. I had corned beef hash which tasted more like salmon than corned beef. Will not return.

The buffet is one of the worst I’ve been. the attention was very good, but the truth is that I went to eat. The one who says it’s a good place, I guess he does not have much experience in what is a good buffet or wants someone else to have a bad experience like his. I would not recommend it and I am also surprised that some people write that it is a good place. my general experience was not good .. I would not return again to the buffet or the casino. It’s a shame, it was a very good place.

I went here twice during my stay mainly because of Covid. I enjoyed my food. The staff here is very friendly. I forgot my server’s name from my first visit but my second visit I had Earnest and Keith. Amazing guys. Both visits the staff went above and beyond to make sure I had a good experience. Thank you Earnest band Keith. You made my experience a great one.

food is good prices are okay service not that great. Had to update my review. They had the absolute best breakfast buffet and now they got rid of it. And they close early in the afternoon as well. If they only brought the breakfast buffet in back it was always packed it was always great. Too bad I guess I won’t be going there anymore
