Timbers Buffet

The buffet is bigger than the dining area. You pay and then wait in another line. Fuck Timbers, go get a steak

My husband visited Timbers Buffet at Mohegan Sun in Wilkes-​Barre, PA today, 11÷22÷15. This is not our first visit here. We are not big gamblers however we do enjoy taking advantage of ReferLocal deals occasionally.
Today we had a better than average experience. We normally tend to go on Friday or Saturday nights when it is VERY crowded. Today was Sunday an it was steady but not crowded.
The food selection and quality of food offered was good today. Food was hot, service was exceptional, refills of beverages were given before asked. Coffee was offered with our desserts. A great dining experience all-​around!
Being honest, I would never pay Friday
And Saturday evening prices if my meal wasn’t comped in some way. Today would have only been $ 40 had we paid for the meal. I would pay that. The value is there. The deal we had today was $ 25 for 2 buffets and $ 20 in slot play.
ALWAYS look for a ReferLocal deal before you go!
Enjoy!

I thought it was overpriced for a lunch buffet and the food wasn’t the greatest. Carving station offered the best and freshest choices, everything else was just mediocre. If you choose to have salad, you will have to have a flexible body and rubber arms to get under the ‘sneeze glass’ to get your tomatoes, onions etc.
The young person making the pancakes was having a difficult time, the Asian food was not prepared well, did not taste fresh and the spring rolls were greasy.
The smell of cigarette smoke from the casino floor comes through the restaurant so if you don’t mind some second hand smoke with your meal, that’s good.
Service was attentive and fast to remove the plates with uneaten food.

Food is always good. We go a lot for dinner but the breakfast is very nice as well. They have a nice mix of foods and service is hit or miss .The day and time you go will help change your feels about this place. Tho we went when really busy and not so busy. Both times for us where both nice. The wait is never to long .Only One time we went to this buffet and we where waiting for new plates. Yes a bit crazy for a buffet to out of plates but it was a Friday night and very busy. Like a said Food Is always good.

About the only buffets I like are Chinese. I’ve been to AC, OCB and Golden Corral. None of them impress me, but Timbers is way over priced for what they have. The mashed potatoes are great, but everything else is below average. The only time we go is when refer local has the 2 meals and $ 20 slot play. I’ll eat there if they’re paying for it, but that’s it.

Nothing special in terms of what a Casino buffet offers. There was a great value with the offer from Refer Local

Timbers was really nothing special. I have been to buffets in Vegas and AC and for me timbers is just ok. I do know that other people and my grandma liked it. I guess it is just your opinion.
The location is great it is located inside of the casino. There are 4 circle style buffet tables. There is a carving station. I really thought the ambiance was great. I enjoyed the fact that we are there for free we got 2 comped buffets. I went with my grandma.
They had everything from Italian to tai to BBQ they also had a few options for desert.
My personal option. I don’t know if I would go back here. The food was fine and good but I feel like going to the buffets in VEGAS has tainted every other buffet experience for me. I do recommend if you was a nice place to go and sample a bunch of different food def go here. If you are a senior you get a discount so be sure to ask about that.
PROS:
–good food
— nice ambiance
CONS:
–really noisy

I didn’t think it was possible to be this disappointed with a casino buffet. Outrageously over priced. I’ve been to the one in Connecticut. This place is the complete opposite. This is downright depressing. Don’t waste your time!!!

I had better buffets and I’ve had worse. The food is hit or miss, but with a big selection I’m sure you’ll find something to your liking.
Timbers can’t hold a candle to the buffets in some bigger casinos but the interior design is beautiful. Though the waiters and waitresses are helpful they seem to be understaffed and I had to wait a long time for my drinks.
This is the only buffet I’ve been to that has potato pancakes and pierogis.

If you’re accustomed to pre-​packaged institutional type food, this is the place for you. «Chef’s Special» was a preformed processed Salisbury Steak in some sort of thickened brown salt water passed off as gravy.
The plates had a dingy feel to them, floors needed attention, and the staff was just there, nothing out of the ordinary.
Frozen strawberries in red liquid, rubberized squid, roast beef passed off as prime rib, overcooked and undersized shrimp, packaged meatballs, etc. I’d gladly pay an extra $ 10 to get fresh food!

Been eating there several times now. Always the kindest servers. I look forward to seeing some of them again. For an everyday buffet, I must say this is pretty decent food. Not gourmet, but adequate and consistent. Try the meatballs!!! I do have to take 5 points off for the fish. Oh no, it was NOT good. I think they caught the fish and the worm. Won’t help by throwing garlic salt on it. But it all ends on a happy note once you’ve had the chocolate mousse.

Pass, I had the unfortunate problem of eating here two weeks in a row. Maybe just cause I am used to buffets in Ac and Vegas, But this is just horrible. At 23.99 on a weekend, the selection was not that good, and what they had was bad. Their specials on weekends for an extra six bucks was, Peel and eat shrimp and Chicken wing pizza. That’s right they consider chicken wing PIZZA a premium item. Sad this it was the best thing on the buffet and 3 best chicken wing pizza I have had this week. You are better of just putting your money in slot machine and walking away, At least you wont feel like crap for the next 6 hours that way.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Casino food in general sucks
I found that out at the Sands in Bethlehem at the Carnegie Deli and now at the Timbers.
I had to meet someone there so that was my only reason for being there in the first place. At $ 17.99/person plus drinks I expected much more than Flounder filets that could be used as a hockey puck and empty mashed potato trays (I was told their mashed potatoes are great but I wouldn’t know) The staff was friendly unfortunally that’s the only positive I can give it.

It is your basic buffet. Large selection spread out in a confusing array of food. For some reason it was hard to find plates. The selection was pretty vast and the food for the most part was good, not great. Nice place to sit and take a break from the tables and if you berate the pit boss you can get a free meal. At any rate much better than the food court. The chinese there is salty, pasty and it took 20 minutes to get our food.

I had not been to Timbers for about a year and a half when we decided to go for dinner on Easter. The food was as poor as I remembered, and within a few hours of dining there, I became violently ill. I think what did it was the roast beef, as it didn’t seem properly cooked. I took only two bites before putting it aside. My dining companion didn’t have it at all and did not get sick. I will not be returning ever again.

I don’t usually like to go to buffets, but this one is definitely one of my favorites. My husband and I went here all the time when we first started dating.

The layout if the buffet restaurant was very nice. Had sort of a Arizona kinda feel with the colors and brick work. I had an assortment of menu items. I though overall everything was good. The turkey was slightly dry but not bad. I loved the peel and eat shrimp. The cocktail sauce was good. Nice and tangy. The salad dressing I thought were good and the romaine lettuce was nice and green. There was not a wide assortment of veggies like asparagus, broccoli, etc which was a downer. The peppers and sausage was good but not spicy (which is how I like mine but then again not everyone likes spicy food) which was not bad. A wide variety of soups also.
The service was very good and facility was clean. I came on a Tuesday evening for dinner and was seated right away. The waiter for my table was very attentive and cleared my plates immediately when I was finished.
It’s not a 5-​star over the top buffet but its good. I would come back to this restaurant buffet when I visit Wilkes Barre again.

I’m not really much of a fan of buffets to begin with, but every once in a while… like once a year, maybe, I’m willing to come here. The service is always very good and some of the food isn’t too shabby either, but there aren’t many choices so I get stuck eating the same stuff over and over. Also, for the price, there are many other places I would rather go for a meal, even if it means less food.

I have no problem with frequent, gluttonous expeditions to the Old Country Buffet and I’m on a first name basis with the greeters at any number of slightly sketchy Chinese buffets. I’m not a snob.
Yet, despite the carefully designed lighting and the comfortably large booths, I found the Timbers Buffet at the Mohegan Sun Casino to be an underwhelming experience. The Sunday brunch was $ 16.00 and managed to make even the Old Country seem lavish. The room is enormous but the food stations are deceptively far apart creating an optical-​illusion of lavishness and vittles-​a-​plenty. The selection and variety were quite disappointing. Everything on offer was typical buffet fare yet somehow even more mediocre and ordinary in the context of this shiny, upscale-​looking room. Bland chicken dishes under heat-​lamps; two carving stations with the same generic, tasteless beef and ham you encounter at any institutional cafeteria. A desert station with gooey banana pies with plasticized whipped topping. You get the picture.
The servers were all enthusiastic, polite and well-​trained. The din was bearable and expected for a casino. The price was average for this type of setting and while the food would still be underwhelming at half the price, at least it would seem like a relative bargain. Nothing I have seen at the Mohegan Sun leads me to believe they care about food and beverages more than the average mall food-​court planner. The nearby Mount Airy casino may not be doing anything particularly interesting either but they are light years beyond what is going on in the Mohegan Sun in Plains.

Worst. Buffet. Ever.
This place was the worst buffet I’ve ever been to. Plates were dingy and dirty. Staff was too busy chewing cud to seat guests in timely manner. Food offered was absolutely disgusting for even hospital-​food, let alone a fairly high-​priced buffet. And this visit was on a Friday, when quality should have been at its best.
The ambiance of the restaurant reflects a lack of good management to keep cleanliness and freshness high on the list, and generally reflects the low-​class expectations of the crowd at a casino in Wilkes Barre.
Save your money and seek out the Old Country Buffet, which offers much higher quality, truly accomodating and friendly staff, and good prices. Friday’s are steak nights at OCB! We’re frequent guests on weekends.
