Carnival World & Seafood Buffet

Don’t believe the hype… we ate at the buffets at harrahs, paris, and rio on our last stay and I gotta say rios was the worst. I think we were expecting Brazilian food… rio…not the case. I filled my plate once and that was tough… finished that and then left. Luckily we bought the all day pass so we took the bus to harrahs and finished eating there.
Do not Do not Do not pay 30 dollars to eat here. You will be pissed off.

The food was cold, and bland. We were very disappointed. The seafood section had small crab legs and strange fish dishes. The non seafood section had the same crab legs and breaded shrimp! Wth is the point of paying more for the seafood? The management and customer service was amazing! We voiced our concern and they refunded our whole meal and the sever was very professional and nice.

If you were expecting the king of buffets by coming to this place, you were way off. The quality of each food choice they have here does not justify the price by any means. Do yourself a favor, you have been to a buffet before right? This is exactly like that but way more expensive. I do notbmind one bit spending good money on good food, but i feel like this place got over on me-​big time. I will only be going to cook to order restaurants from here on out for my stay in vegas-​i suggest you do the same. The sushi bar is a joke– only generic rolls that you could buy pre-​packaged from the grocery store. The seafood area (which costs more to have access to) is far from worthy for the additional charge. Heed my warnings friends, save your money or blow itbon gambling and eat taco bell or something, youll feel the same afterwards.

Wow this has gone down hill since they moved the location to colocate. I should have known something was up when there was no line… the seafood part looked like everything had been left out since yesterday… i am afraid the oysters are going to make me sick tonight. The sashimi looked old. The poki wasnt that great. the boiled shrimp was ok. Walked over the world buffet and it wasnt any better over at that part either. I cant believe this buffet is only $ 5 cheaper than bacchanal at ceasar’s. Skip this and go to Ceasars

My family and I came to eat at the seafood buffet yesterday. My mom had came to this place a few years ago but when we arrived yesterday, she was surprised that they had split the buffet into two. One was the Carnival World Buffet and the other was the Seafood Buffet. It’s about a $ 15 difference and with the Seafood Buffet, you are allowed to eat at both buffets. You will receive a stamp after paying to let you into the seafood buffet.
So, we had came here because my mom RAVED about how good the food was and how much she loved the lobsters. Sadly, the lobster was not as fresh (and not to mention as big) as she had it before. Things have definitely changed in three years. The food was alright too. Nothing too special. Of course, the variety was there but the taste and quality wise, it was alright. There wasn’t a lot of dessert variety either. Just some pies, cookies, and cheesecake. The gelato was definitely the cherry on top to my whole meal.
I would give this a 1 star but the waiters who served us were very kind and for that, I give this buffet an extra star.
Overall, don’t spend your $ 48 on the seafood buffet. Just stick with eating at the Carnival World Buffet or somewhere else.

I’m sorry but this buffet is absolutely terrible. Much of the food tasted spoiled. The «lobster» you get for buying the seafood option are tiny dried things that look more like crawfish. I paid over $ 50 for this buffet and the best thing was a marinated hot dog. When you are trying to fill yourself with bread at a $ 50 buffet you know something went very, very wrong. This buffet was a leader in the early 2000’s but the quality has steadily declined as the price went up. Steer very clear.

Price would be fine, if the food was quality food. The seafood is very overcooked. Crab legs have no flavor and the tea is instant. Your better off not paying for seafood side as the crab legs are included in the lower price Buffett.

I’ve been to Carnival World Buffet before the merge and while the selection is large, isn’t really worth the price on it’s own– splurge for the Seafood Buffet: Mon-​Fri it’s $ 48/​pp, which is steep, but locals get 25% off with ID.
Regular buffet selection is huge and does include seafood items, larger selection than most other buffets but average quality (avoid the dim sum and choose your desserts carefully) — the upcharge gets you to a sectioned-​off area you can only access after showing your blacklight-​activated lobster stamp. That’s where you want to go to get your money’s worth.
Cooked fish dishes, large fried shrimp tempura, cajun crawfish, shrimp & grits, and other similar choices greet you before you get to the chowders, bisques (not the same as the one upstairs at VooDoo), and raw bar– featuring oysters, several types of crab claws, and gigantic, peeled cocktail shrimp. The poke was pretty lackluster but the sashimi section made up for it– snag the salmon, it goes quick.
If I were to come back, I’d stick to the raw items and the meats and desserts from the regular area. Despite the bigger price tag, service was less attentive than other off-​Strip buffets and dishes weren’t cleared and refills oddly weren’t offered.

The food here used to be very good when I last time came to Carnival World Buffet inside the Rio Casino in 2011.
Back then, there was more different types of food and taste good also. After they added the seafood, there were many different changes…
I visited the Carnibal World and Seafood Buffet on May 29, 2016 for dinner. Now when they added the seafood portion ($ 15 extra, around $ 50 for regular and seafood dinner together), there are less foods for regular price items and the food taste ok, not very flavorful. Since I am a local in Las Vegas, they only give you 25% off with ID for locals which is ok. Back then I always came here because of the 50% off offer. Even after the change, they cut back the salad and the toppings.
The only food that taste very GOOD is the DESSERT. They have many different types of cakes, ice cream (Gelato), desserts, and more. It seems that they put more effort in the dessert than the other food cuisines.
The service here is ALRIGHT. For the servers around the table, they are good because they respond very quick. As for the staff around the buffet station, they seem grumpy and not happy to work.
I recommend if you want to try a new buffet and very HUNGRY, eat here. If you have gone here before try to avoid this buffet and eat something else because it’s not worth the price.

Meh, not worth $ 49.99. Came here around 8:30PM on a Sunday. No line, plenty of tables, and not too busy. Besides the crab legs, there’s really nothing that was even above average to my taste buds. The salmon and halibut were overcooked, pastas were bland and everything has a strange plastic layer that you must disturb to get to.
Everything just looks like it’s been sitting out for hours, even when they just bring it out. The soups were just… scary.
The gelato was good. Service was good. The food was just disappointing. I’ve had tv dinners that tasted better.
So sad. I wouldn’t recommend this buffet at all.

Amazing buffet. The quality and the service is amazing!
We bought the 24 hr buffet pass fot 75 $ and you can go to 5 different buffets. The food here is really amazing! We will come again for dinner. Free mimosas for the whole table yes please. Ruwaida our server is very sweet and pleasant. She is very attentive and came to our table very often to make sure we are ok! Really large variety of food. We are stuffed

Disappointed in food and price seemed high and didn’t even include the seafood which is what I wanted (but didn’t want to pay extra for!). I had a better meal at Hometown Buffet the other night. I went there a few years ago and remember it so much better.
The only plus was desserts were pretty delicious.
I’ll try somewhere else next time.

Love Love Love and AMAZING service.
My husband and I came to Vegas for a much needed getaway. We did not stay at the Rio, but we heard the buffet was amazing and it did not disappoint! Crab legs, prime rib, sushi, benedicts, dim sum, and on and on and on… not to mention unlimited champagne and mimosas.
The food was delicious and the service was even better! Our Server’s name was Pat and I have never seen someone work harder. He seriously did not stop moving the entire time. Our tasty mimosas were delivered without ever having to ask! He was basically a mind-​reader. He was friendly, quick and always had a smile on his face. Please reward him for his exceptional service.
Thank you! We will most definitely be back.

Many years ago I remember my first time ever paying for a buffet using a machine in the wall. After standing in line for hours at places like Bellagio or Paris I welcomed the technological advancement. This place is huge — you obviously don’t get that personal touch that maybe some thirst for so much… but for the record I am a self check out kind of person and don’t mind.
If you are a Platinum or higher rewards member you get that extra attention and better treatment. You get to skip ahead the line and go into a special room to pay. Its nice, trust me. Make friends with a whale if you can.
Food is very good. Enough people go here and it is popular enough so that food is fresh. Amazing dessert selection. Fancy ice creams — be sure and leave some room.
A solid choice especially if you are staying at this resort. Really, there is no reason to ever leave the Rio during your entire stay. Pool is great, buffet is fine, Voodoo lounge has unbeatable views and is a good value.

My ticket to see Penn and Teller included a reduced price for this buffet so I figured when in Rome? Or so I naively thought… as this was the most disgusting buffet I’ve ever experienced. Despite advertising having some 300 dishes to try from, the majority were absolutely inedible and some of the stuff I tried literally made me gag. Looking around many people seemed to be having the same experience — so much food got thrown away :(The staff were actually very sweet and helpful but the quality of food was appalling and it was only a fraction cheaper than the Wynn’s buffet (the best one I’ve ever had!) so was shocked and disappointed in just how grim and quite frankly gross the offerings were. Don’t go, you will regret your decision.

It’s ok, the primerib and duck were the stars. The rest of the food was average or below average. We did not do the seafood section, not really worth it and really you get some seafood with the rest of the buffet any how.
Overall, it’s an ok buffet by other places standards but for begas, I expected more, especially for the price.

Meh. Not worth the money unless you are totally in love with big hunks of meat (a whole 3 to pick from). I did like some of the Chinese food they had. The chicken broccoli was good. The vegetable spring rolls were ok. No egg rolls. No crab ragoon. (BOOOO…me LOVES crab ragoon)
There was very little to pick from other than the Chinese food and the big hunks of meat that I am totally NOT into. I did try some skewered meat… Yuk! Nor good flavor at all.
I will say their cheesecake was super delicious but not enough to earn them more than 2 stars. The service was good as well. Never even had to ask for a refill.

Came back to the carnival buffet after a couple yrs and boy has it changed! It cost $ 80-​$ 90 for 2 of us for dinner now! It is now combined with the seafood buffet which makes it actually smaller. Because if you want the seafood part it cost about $ 20 more for dinner. It takes up at least 3 sections that used to be part of the normal buffet.
Overall the food has gone down hill. The prime rib was cooked well looked good but was chewy as hell! Fried rice greasy! The only part that was good was the desserts! Won’t be coming back anymore!

Wow! This truly how I felt after eating here. I had a deal as I have the players card and wanted to try the seafood buffet. This is more expensive than just the carnival world side and not really necessary as they have some seafood on the other side.
This is the largest buffet I have ever seen and the food is incredible. There are choices from all over the world and the dessert section is amazing. The chef’s here really know what foodies are looking for.
The service is also impressive and our waiter
Was personable and really funny.
I would say to check it out mid week as it is cheaper and so worth it.

Took the family for a night out. We come eat here every year (We’re visiting from Colorado). Always a great variety of mouthwatering food that you need to go back again. The staff is excellent. Sal took great care of us and made sure our visit was mind blowing. Chaitat (I believe that’s how it’s spelled) was our server and he’s so friendly and kept our drinks full and table cleared promptly. Sal we hope to see you again next year. We will definitely be back!!!

Plenty of options. $ 25 is a bit much for a no-​service buffet. And they will want tip, but honestly that’s par for the course. Lots of options, and they have gelato. It’s probably the best buffet in town, worth the Lyft ride from the Golden Nugget – that buffet has nothing over Rio.
Be careful, if you have more than 2 plates, and you’ll want to, you might end up looking like everyone that’s at the buffet. Watch yourself!

Love this place! Foods are great! Lots of selection! You can have free Champaign! I will come back here for sure

Absolutely excellent service. Brian was one of the best waiters I’ve had in all of Vegas! Most definitely recommend to everyone.

If you don’t want to give your money away do not come here, me and my spouse came here thinking it was going to be great by all the hype they put out there… Some of the food is very dry and there is nothing great about the sea food I’ve had better at way much cheaper buffets in California, the food was very bland!!! It was $ 108 for two people!!! On a Saturday night.
The lasagna look extremely good but ended up tasting like it was a can of beef raviolis… Yuck! And I was excited for the sushi and all they do is bring a already prepared dish from the fridge and STACK THE OLD SUSHI ON TOP OF THE «FRESH ONES» no thanks!
For the price paid I would expect to see them preparing it fresh on the spot! And only 5 types to choose from? The only good dishes we had that were great was the fruit and salad… NEVER EVER AGAIN! We are going to try the buffet at Cesar’s place next and I heard it’s always fresh! So we will see in the next review.

The food here was a bit underwhelming for me considering I paid ~$ 40 for it. The line just to get in was pretty long, around a 20 minute wait on a Saturday night. My group and I finally got a table after what seemed like forever and 2 groups, since we didn’t want to be split and therefore they had other groups go in front of us. I recommend coming a little earlier just to make sure you aren’t hangry like I was.
Anyways, it was hard to even get a server since the place was kinda busy so we didn’t get our drinks till later. As well, they didn’t have an open bar!!! Meh, Studio B did. Also, I love seafood and was not thrilled to find out you had to pay more in order to get some. The only thing I kinda liked was popcorn shrimp which was good, but other than that everything was pretty normal. I got some sushi just to see how it would be like but it seemed like it was on the plate for the whole day. They also have a soup section which I liked, but it could only go so far. I got vietnamese phở and it was aight.
I ended up not eating my weight for the amount I paid for which was a little disappointing. My friends felt the same way and so we weren’t that impressed with the buffet as we would for Studio B. Honestly, for the same amount I paid, I would’ve rather’d make the drive over to Studio B than go here.

We came here at 11:30 for the champagne brunch on Valentine’s Day and it look us 15 minutes to get through the line. By 11:45, the line had grown. And by 12:30 there was a line out to the casino. So getting here early is probably a good idea.
They had plenty of options and everything tasted really good. Our waitress was super friendly (maybe too friendly haha), but she kept us loaded up on mimosas the whole morning.
I was fairly unimpressed by the dessert section. The have a gelato case, then some little cakes and tarts. I guess I pictured a wide spread of various dessert options, but it didn’t seem like they had a whole lot.
Overall, just fine for the price we paid. We got a discount by going to the Tix4tonight booth!

Recommended by a friend. Very glad I took the tip. Got there Friday at 6:30 maybe 10 in line ahead of our party of 5. 15 minutes and we were seated. Great server got our empty plates removed and filled our requests for drinks, napkins etc.
Found plenty of fresh delicious sea food. Best clam chowder with a hint of hot spice. Loved the Asian section also.

Best Overall Service Value Plentiful Buffet in Las Vegas
There are cheaper buffets and there are more expensive places, The Carnival World and Seafood Buffet is the one «All-​You-​Can-​Eat» restaurants that is both upper-​scale offering at a middle class price.
As a Unilocal user that has frequented his fair share of buffets, both high end ($ 50+) and lower end (~$ 10), I found that The Carnival World Buffet at The Rio All-​Suite Hotel and Casino, offers a middle of the road price (~$ 30+), in turn gives it their all!
Everyone can pick on a particular dish that they like or dislike, in my case, I’m writing this review because of what I observed and because Unilocal users deserve to give The Carnival World Buffet a try!
As I walked up and down the buffet line I noticed that a patron had picked at the Chinese «Peking» roast duck leaving parts scattered all over the serving plate. What I observed next caught my attention, a cook from the kitchen utilized his tongs to pickup the random parts of the duck and began putting the duck back together as if it had just been put out to serve! Why was that awesome to see in a mid to higher-​end buffet? Because in a city that relies a lot on showmanship, sometimes presentation is everything, and in this case it was something worth sharing. I did end up trying everything the Rio buffet had to offer and was more than pleasantly surprised by the superb value and diverse, abundant variety presented!
The last but certainly not least of my experience was the awesome service provided by Debbie from Michigan and Sal, the Carnival World & Seafood Buffet general manager. When seated Debbie cordially asked my buddy and me what we’d like to drink, I asked her to surprise me with a concoction of her design. She played along and granted me a mixed juice drink that she refilled at least a handful of times without me even asking! It was the combination of my buffet line observation, the end-​to-​end food offerings, and the superb customer service that I asked if the manager was available for comment. Luckily, Sal was able to greet us with a generous handshake and warm smile, he embraced us with his time, enthusiasm and sincerity. So not only were we well fed but we were entertained by the stories that only a Vegas professional could share with a couple of out-​of-​towners.
Not only was this particular experience great, but we went back to the World Carnival and Seafood Buffet at The Rio back-​to-​back-​to-​back days, never leaving feeling less than full and without a smile provided by the excellent food and even better service!

I had dinner here last night. It was just me and I was seated quickly. The waiter Brian came over quickly and was absolutely great.
I had gotten some crab legs (they were split already) but couldn’t find the «tools» for them. I sat down and started to use my fork to get the yummy goodness out, and before I could dispatch the first leg Brain was there, tools in hand, and said «these should help». Talk about paying attention to detail.
My drink was never empty and my empty plates cleaned up quickly.
The food was above average (very good) for all you can eat buffets. The prime rib was so juicy and tender, the crab legs perfect (not water logged), and the sides yummy.
This was a great experience.

Decided to stop at the rio seafood buffet before checking in nearby this weekend
After passing by the Chippendales on my way down the escalator my heart (stomach) sank when I noticed that they were…
Remodeling the seafood section again?
Paid the $ 50 instead of $ 30 for the inconspicuous seafood line stamp (small section to the right that was zoned off for those that could only enter with this stamp that would only be visible under the special lamp)
Huge downgrade on the «usual» seafood that I have been accustomed to seeing.
Will return only when the remodel is done for the higher quality seafood IMO
Also, had a chance to use the WAZE navigation application to and from Vegas that was fascinating to this old geezer

Ate here with friends for the first time and initially it was rather confusing. Overall I had an expectation before paying for the seafood buffet to be added to my bill but what the heck, I went for it. The restaurant is located inside the Rio hotel with a free parking garage near the entrance but the confusion was the marque outside the restaurant with the price advertisements. The weekend and weekday prices are different and the prices are different on those days for both buffets. That sentence even read confusing. Bottom line, there are two different buffets one with basic variety of food and desserts and the second one for all seafood items. Both are served daily but are different prices on weekend and weekdays. The food was «okay.» Honestly, the extra $ 10 bucks or so for the seafood buffet is worth it for seafood lovers who enjoy all types of seafood. If you want a variety of boiled crabs this is not worth it. I ate my money’s worth on «lobster medley» the sauce is not seasoned well and I have no idea what it is but dipped in garlic butter made it better. There are crab legs and chilled crab legs also almost any type of seafood you’d want even some exotic choices. The grilled salmon was the best seasoned selection i tasted. I did not eat much from main side but my friends liked the prime rib and other steak selections. The bread pudding was really good. Our server was AWESOME, (5 stars for him) friendly and attentive. It’s worth a try but I would recommend serious consideration before paying extra for the seafood side (hand stamped and viewed with blue light for entry).

We ate at both buffets last night and the food was awful. The best thing I had to eat was the salad. All of the seafood was over cooked, rubbery, dried out, and tasteless. At one point, the Rio use to have the best seafood buffet in Las Vegas, but not anymore. To me it seems like it was a bad ideal for them to combine both buffets. We definitely won’t be back.

I wish I could rate it lower this business just stole money from me … Don’t pay the extra money for the Seafood buffet it’s a waste and it’s horrible the regular buffet has many of the same terrible items and the service is also horrible GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK YOU THIEVES I can’t stress it enough go to bellagio buffet
, ceasars or better yet just throw 100 $ on the ground and walk away because you will waste your money here

Paid for the seafood side of this buffet (formerly Village Seafood I think) and found myself impressed. Seafood was fabulous — I barely even tried the rest of the buffet — in fact hubby pointed out I had not gone to the other half of the buffet past the desserts… not sure how I missed it! Anyway, ate my way through the fresh shrimp, king crab legs, and oysters rockfeller — delicious. Tried a few hot dishes and other stuff which was all very good. Really enjoyed!

Very disappointment with the place. The line is ridiculous and once you pay, it takes another hour to get seat it. The only reason I decide it to try, is to take advantage of the local discount.
Not worth it. The staff are so disorganized. Better off going to another buffet.

We came to this place with high expectations, having eaten here in the past. The food quality was decent, but…
There is kind of a «shell game» going on with the buffet here – pardon the pun. The prices can vary a bit, but the «regular» buffet is about $ 35 and the «seafood» buffet is considerably more – around $ 50.
We were told the seafood buffet had crab legs and lobster. Well, sort of. The «lobster» is not lobster tail, but a medley of some sort with chunked up pieces of lobster tail (still in the shell too). If you were hoping for just lobster and drawn butter – no. There were a lot of cold crab legs, but then we realized – the crab legs are on the regular buffet too!
When we inquired with a manager, we were told that the snow crab legs on the seafood buffet were larger and off a higher quality than those on the regular buffet. I didn’t see that, and I’m not buying it! After we complained, we got a refund of the «seafood» buffet upcharge.
So…be warned — the regular buffets is likely what you want. If you are not sure, take a good look first!

Unilocal Challenge 2016 ²⁷⁄₁₁₆
Located at the Rio, serving up a very extensive buffet featuring the foods of the world and seafood for about $ 35.00. This is one of the cheaper Vegas buffets, off the main strip. We arrived Sunday morning around noon and there was zero wait. This is totally against the norm so don’t hate me if you end up waiting. So, you pay up front, then wait to be seated. If you have a players card, you can save a bit.
Tons of choices from Mongolian BBQ, Ramen/​Udon bar, salad, lots of seafood, yakitori, dim sum, terrible sushi, fresh pancakes, waffles, omlettes, bacon, sausage, bagels. Almost everything you can think of. Most of the food is sitting out. So it is not made to order. Its buffet food. Its not suppose to be amazing. Stick to the custom stuff that is made in front of you, and all will be good.
The line of food is huge. Make sure you walk all the way down to both ends, so you won’t miss anything.
The real beauty was in the desert bar. My eyes almost popped out of my head. Lots and lots of enticing treats that guarantee you to leave 2 pounds heavier. I am taking crepes, cookies, cupcakes, pies, moose, chocolate, Gelato. Thats right, about 10 flavors of Gelato.
Server was super attentive. Made Sure plates were cleared and drinks were Refilled. Even though he gave us a hard time about saving seats for our friends who were in route, because 4 of us were hogging up 2 tables. Sorry but we were starving and wanted to start eating. But, If your entire party is not there, they will not let you sit down. Even if if the place is completely empty, they frown upon seat saving. Lame.
As we were lingering near the exit he personally thanked us for the generous tip we left and said he truely appreciated what we left.
The buffet is decent, inexpensive and filling.
3.5 stars

This place is a must eat! You must go hungry as you can easily spend several hours here eating and trying all your options. My favorite is the unlimited crab legs. You must leave room for dessert as they have awesome gelato options!

Good selections, best was the Mongolian grill.
Wish they had the combo of sushi and regular when I purchased it but will next time.
Good food, good service

Am amazing buffet with over 1200 food items. The food is fresh with a international buffet yet it has all the Erica favorites. Our waitress Michelle was a true pleasure. T house we is something foe everybody here.

Came here on a Tuesday night around 7:30pm. Being a buffet I had saved an appetite, but I totally regretted not having a snack ready for the almost two hour wait time. Two hours of standing provided a negative first impression on the buffet. My friends and I saw a women faint in front of us. She was given water and was told that she and her party could be seated immediately. My friends and I started thinking we should do the same.
The price for what was offered was insane. We had coupons, and paid $ 30 per person; that was way to much.
By the time we sat down it was 9:30pm. We asked since the buffet closes at 10pm would we only have a half hour to eat. Waiter said we’re allowed to stay til 10:30. I thought it unfair to wait two hours in line to only be able to be there for an hour. Plus the food did not taste fresh. I think they stop cooking at 10pm too, and we’re eating what’s left.
I liked the ribs the best, but I felt there were no really good options. I was tired after the two hour wait, and getting up to serve myself felt like a bigger hassle than it was. My four friends and myself agreed that this buffet was not worth it. We won’t be coming back, and there’s plenty of other options available closer to the strip.

Went at 8pm thinking I had plenty of time, but the line was huge! It took around 2 hours to get seated and at that point we had one hour to eat before they closed all the food. The food was horrible the food was not fresh and was very bad. Not worth the wait. Fried foods were not very good. If you like ribs though, they were good. Not worth the money.

Pretty over the top buffet with some good food. There is a long wait to get in. I don’t eat a lot at once, so I’m not sure I got my money’s worth… but that’s just me.
Things could be labelled better… other than that, it’s about what I think you’d expect from a buffet.

The buffet is split in two sections. The first is your general buffet. The second includes the general buffet as well as the seafood buffet. Don’t bother with the seafood buffet. It costs $ 52 and there isn’t really anything special about it. The fish was overcooked and the lobster was like a rubber band in your mouth. The general buffet section was $ 39 and had the typical selections you’d expect. It was edible, to say the least. There were a few things that were decent here and there, so it wasn’t totally bad. I did enjoy the coconut gelato. Overall, though, you’re better off going somewhere else that’s cheaper.

I’ve been waiting in line for 2 hours. My feet are sore, my stomach is eating itself, and this is an overall horrible experience.
I can see tons of uncleared tables. They haven’t been cleared in 30 minutes. Also, it’s been another 20 minutes and the line hasn’t moved AT ALL. (Not to mention a family of 20 cut in line)
I am NEVER coming back to this buffet no matter what.
Oh look. What’s this? MORE UNCLEARED TABLES. Now that I’m close enough to look at the majority of the tables, ¼ of the customers already left and their tables AREN’T CLEARED. WHY IS YOUR SERVICE SO BAD. WHY DIDN’T I KNOW THIS BEFORE I CHOOSE TO EAT HERE.
UPDATE
As I was seated, I remember I had eaten here once before (WHY DIDN’T I REMEMBER). Anyway, I’ve just finished eating and I have to say, it was exactly as I remembered it: disappointing. The mac n cheese tasted bland; the pizza was unappetizing; a classmate from my Food Service and Hospitality class can make enchiladas much better than the one served. The only thing worth ‘praising’ is their mash potatoes with gravy, though it hardened before I even take a bite. The only thing that was satisfying was the ice cream.
CONCLUSION
PROS
1. Good mashed potatoes with gravy even though it hardened before I could eat it
2. Great ice cream
3. Variety of foods & desserts
4. They have a bar
CONS
1. You tip at the register
2. Some food tastes bland
3. Bad service (Slow clean up time, no attention)
4. They turned off the music halfway through our meal
5. 2.5hr waiting time standing
