Seldom do I go thirsty. +The decor is a bit much but the casino is well kept +Great live poker Cons: -STILL No use of blackjack shoes. Instead they use infinate auto shufflers. As if the house needed an additional edge. TERRIBLE choice for the management. This STILL makes you look like a money suck -Slots STILL do feel on the tighter side, though not the worst I've seen. -STILL Attracts panhandlers within viewing distance of the front door -A tad small Bottom line: A decent place to spend some time. I'd avoid too frequent of visits.

I was at Wammy's Kitchen today in Rockford, IL. I was so excited to finally be able to support…read moresomeone I grew up with and personally knew of her culinary skills. The food at this restaurant was awesome. I had the chicken wings and cheeseburger. The sizes of the entrees were large, taste was delectable, and customer service was very good. Other persons in our party had catfish, poor boy, Wammy's Signature burger, and polish sausage. Everyone was praising the food! I appreciated that the chef came out to talk with the customers and thank them for coming to the restaurant. I will definitely return to the restaurant and share the great experience with others. Stop by and give it a try. You will be glad you did!

I do think the price of the buffet was a little high. It was about $28. Food was good and you get a lot of it, but was just a little steep to me, although, all of it was homemade so maybe it is a justifiable price. Regardless, it's a nice little spot if you're looking for southern food!

One of the most disappointing meals I have had in a long time…read more We had initially intended to visit a different restaurant that ended up not being open. We agreed to give Golden Corral a try. BIG MISTAKE. This place was PACKED so clearly, people seem to enjoy it. We did not... The only thing that anyone seemed to enjoy was their breaded shrimp. Those were a hit, everything else was borderline inedible. Even their desserts. I get it that they are having to feed a lot of people, and its all you can eat. That is a a challenge. They are just falling short in too many areas for me to ever justify returning. I cannot in good faith recommend this place.

I'd like preface: 1. Atmosphere is great…read more 2. Staff was very nice. 3. The food that we ate, tasted good. 4. Sat at the bar, drinks and bar staff were nice. 5. We DID ultimately receive a 50% discount on our plate, which I am acknowledging was gracious and I am thankful for. 6. I grew up eating fish, not only at home but in restaurants/bars. I am giving this restaurant a three star review however. We ordered the walleye fish. The two bites I was able to take, definitely tasted good. However, in both bites, I was picking out several bones. Upon inspecting, we found over another dozen bones in the walleye. Bones happen in fish sometimes, but this was an astronomical amount that made it impossible to enjoy the fish or even eat it comfortably. We quietly just told the bartender about the bones and just asked if we could have a portion of the fish discounted because we ate everything else. Which tasted great. We absolutely were willing to pay for everyone else, didn't want a discount on the entire bill. Just a little something for the fish. She talked to her manager and then the manager came out. Now IF the manager had just apologized and offered a discount, this would've been a 4.5/5 review. However, the manager proceeded to give us a lecture about walleye. She insinuated that we never ate walleye before; she said people who don't eat walleye, don't understand that there unfortunately are a lot of bones. And that there was nothing they could do about it. Keep in mind both the bartender as well as the manager acknowledged that the walleye gets several complaints because of the amount of bones. (that sounds like a supplier problem, and should probably be addressed). My family used to own a restaurant in a campground, we served a walleye, we did not have issues with bones. If there ever was an issue, we understood that fish could be unpredictable, and we would just offer a discount and remake the fish. (It happens) Again, I am grateful that she ultimately gave us a 50% discount on that plate. We were more than happy to pay full price for everything else. But having someone give a condescending lecture about walleye, assuming that I have never eaten walleye before was unnecessary. I didn't need the lecture. That alone made put a damper on the entire experience. The way management handles unfortunate situations can make or break it for customers.

I enjoyed my meal, but I wanted to offer some respectful feedback. After only about 15 minutes of…read moreeating, while I was still enjoying my food and had just sat down with my second plate, my waitress placed the check on my table without saying anything. This made me feel as though I was expected to leave, even though I was still eating. I understand that this may not have been the intention, and I don't want to unfairly criticize anyone. However, at an all-you-can-eat buffet, I believe customers should be able to enjoy their meals at a reasonable pace without feeling rushed. I want the staff here to do well and earn good tips! I believe that making customers feel welcome and comfortable throughout their meals can help create a better dining experience and encourage customers to tip generously. I hope this feedback is helpful, and I wish the staff and restaurant all the best. 我很享受这次用餐，但也想礼貌地提出一点建议。用餐大约只有15分钟时，我还在吃饭，刚刚坐下来开始吃第二盘食物，服务员就一言不发地把账单放在了桌上。这让我觉得自己似乎应该离开了，尽管我还没有吃完。 我理解这可能并不是服务员的本意，也不想不公平地批评任何人。不过，在自助餐厅用餐时，我认为顾客应该能够以合理的节奏享用食物，而不必感到自己被催促着离开。 我真心希望这里的员工工作顺利，也能获得丰厚的小费！我相信，让顾客在整个用餐过程中感到受欢迎、舒适，能够提升用餐体验，也会让顾客更愿意慷慨地给小费。希望这些反馈能对餐厅有所帮助。祝餐厅生意兴隆，也祝所有员工工作顺利！

As far as Chinese buffets in this area go, this restaurant was highly recommended by our friends…read more We were pleasantly surprised by how huge the restaurant is. Lots of seating and tables. When you walk in, the host brings you to a table and asks for your drink order. Then, you're free to go to peruse and choose your food. There are three rows of food, plus the raw oysters, hibachi fixings & STEAK!!! On the far wall are more desserts - cake, mousse, cookies & ice cream. My husband loved choosing his own steak and how to cook it on the grill. For me, the food was tasty, but it was the vast variety that won me over. Good experience. $17.99/pax for dinner.

Another trip to Famous Dave's in Rockford and another great meal…read more First off, the service was wonderful. I'm sorry I forgot his name but he was great! We had the Baby back ribs plus two meat platter. We actually added a third meat for $4 more. Besides the baby backs, we had brisket, chopped pork, and burnt ends. All of the meats were fantastic! For sides we had the Wilbur Beans and red skin mashed potatoes, along with the pickled onions and hell fire pickles. We love them all. I love going into Dave's and walking around the restaurant looking at all of the cool vintage signs and pictures hanging on the walls. The pictures of Dave in front of all the old historic bbq joints all over the country are really cool too. Stop in at Famous Dave's in Rockford and have a great meal like we did.
