Market Buffet

Not a clean environment. They have a major cockroach problem and aren’t seeming to do much about it. It’s not a very large buffet but the locals seem to like it.

I’m quite surprised of all the negative reviews here. My boyfriend and I went to the lunch buffet and found out that if you get a free PAC card, you’d get a discount. So, we went over to the PAC help desk and got the cards pretty quickly.
The buffet was really nice. It didn’t have too big of a variety but everything there was tasty. They also had whole fruit, which was a nice surprise.
The desserts were to die for. Pies, cakes, cookies, pudding… everything was so good. I’d totally visit again when I’m in the area.

I don’t agree with the negative reviews for this place. I went here for lunch yesterday and most of the food was tasty and fresh. The food was real, clean food unlike most of the overly salted food at your usual buffets encountered in the big cities. The waiter service was also excellent. It’s a sad state of affairs but the fruit and produce tastes better here than the states. For example, the apple turnover has fresh granny smith apples in it with a bit of crunch, not some ready made filling from a can. Overall, great food, great price.

I am no food snob: I would actually consider myself a casino buffet enthusiast.
However, when it comes to this Market Buffet at Casino Niagara:
Just don’t.
Trust me.
Yikes.

This place is a no frills buffet with enough choice to satisfy any eater.
Been here quite a few times on and off.
Wouldn’t say it’s the place to write home about but overall the food is good.
As pointed out the best time to go there is for lunch since the price is only about $ 13
From what i understand they also have a pretty cheap breakfast at $ 3 for PAC members I guess that’s on till 11am.

The last review from this place was 2 years ago so I decided to try it out thinking things might have changed since then, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that they have. I thought they had a pretty good selection of food, including a huge salad bar for you to assemble your own salad. The price was the best part — $ 12.75 for lunch. I definitely recommend this place if you’re in the mood to eat a lot.

I guess I am spoiled by Las Vegas where Casino buffets (from Bellagio to MGM to Circus Circus) are always good to excellent to fabulous!
I didn’t Unilocal this place, so on the last day in Niagara Falls with several hours to kill we went at 3:00pm thinking we would fill ourselves up for $ 12/​ea, but it was All You Can Eat Dinner All Day because of Canadian Thanksgiving (¹⁰⁄₁₀) at $ 17/​ea. The cashier said «everything is out today, two carving stations, sushi, seafood».
Seafood consisted of cocktail shrimp and the sushi was a SINGLE veggie maki roll that looked hard like a ROCK. Carving station was dried out ham and the beef was too lean. The au jus and gravy where both very flavorless — how can gravy be bland?!? Honey glazed chicken wings were the smallest wings/​drumlets you will ever see; perhaps it was pigeon wings?!? Salad consisted of days old bagged greens that WERE NOT picked — meaning spoiled pieces were mixed in. YUCK!
Food overall was worst than a «bad Chinese buffet»…yes it was that bad.
Nothing was memorable nor good for seconds.

Location is the best part — it’s right there in the Casino. Also, you can use your points to claim a free buffet. But how is the food? Definitely not worth the price they charge. I would pay maybe $ 10 for their dinner buffett. The selection is poor, and the quality is poor. Come here if you are in the casino and you don’t want to venture too far to eat. But its one of the worst buffets I’ve eaten at ever.

Pay me and I still won’t eat here. The food is so weak. If you really want to eat they have better food at the sports bar. Try Lucky’s steakhouse on the second floor and you will thank me for reading this post.

This place was weak sauce. The casino is literally a stone’s throw away from the Falls, so it was convenient. You take the elevator up to the main floor from Maid of the Mist Marketplace, maybe 5 minutes if you know where you’re going.
Lunch was $ 13.95. I expected a hell of lot more for that price. There were three stations. One was Chinese food, one was American (fries, potatoes, meat), one was «comfort food» (which didn’t look appetizing at all). That’s it. Usually in a buffet, they have a huge selection, but this was so limited and disappointed. They did have a decent salad/​fruit selection.
Best part of the casino: They have amazing penny games and a lot of them. I know it has nothing to do with the buffet… They did have an amazing apple crumble which was even more amazing with ice cream. Other than that, I’d pass for a real meal.

if its one thing that americans do better than any other nation, its to build an amazing buffet.
i’m can’t say the canada shares that same sentiment.
save your money and go to a regular restaurant. go for quality, not quantity. or at least not HERE.

2.5 stars. below is a summary:
$ 16.95 for dinner is fine, but 12% tax? I feel bad for canadians if they have to pay that much on everything
— Potato Cheddar Soup — 2.5 stars (potato cheddar is supposed to be a chowder and not a soup, so it felt way too watery than what it was supposed to)
— Cheese Canneloni — 2.5 stars (ingredients were put together, but flavor was plain, and lacking)
— Fried Rice — 2 stars (tasted ok, but it tasted pretty similar to uncle ben’s)
— Meatloaf + Mashed Potatos — 3.5 stars (good because i’ve been craving meatloaf for 2 years now and I like mashed potatoes)
— Corn — 2 stars (pieces of corn were bigger than I’ve seen before, so I expected something good. Didn’t even taste like corn)
— Salad — 4 stars (the best item at a buffet for me is the salad… mmmm mmmmm)
— Pizza — 2.75 stars (It’s hard for me to rate pizza low because it takes a lot for me to not enjoy it. This was cheap oven baked frozen pizza that had probably been sitting under the heading lamp for over 3 hours)
— Oatmeal Raisin Cookie — 4 stars (if you can’t get this right, you shouldn’t be baking anything)
— Lemon Tart — 2.5 stars (I was tricked. I don’t like anything citrus, but since this had coconut sprinkles on it, I thought it was a coconut pastry and bit into the damn lemon… it was ok, but not my flavor. 2 stars are just for the coconut)
Black Forrest Cake — 3.5 stars (same as it is anywhere else, except the cherries were not as fresh as they should have been. still was good)
Ice Cream — 4 stars (one scoop vanilla, one scoop chocolate, marshmellows, chocolate syrup)
Service here was ehhhhh. the only responsibilities he had were clean used plates off of tables, and get drinks for customers. One of the people I was with ordered water w/​no ice and guess what came out with the water… yep, 2 stars for server
