We finally tried the Borgata Buffet and honestly I do not understand some of the bad reviews. Yes it is a casino buffet so the price is higher at around 43 per person, but there are definitely ways to get it comped or discounted, and for the quality you are getting it actually feels worth it. The variety is great and everything we tried tasted fresh and well made. Nothing felt like it had been sitting too long and the staff was constantly maintaining the stations. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and very attentive without being overbearing. The staff working the buffet line were also all really nice and genuinely seemed happy to be there which makes such a difference. Food wise there were a lot of standouts. The chargrilled steak had a really nice flavor and the prime rib was super tender and juicy. The pastas were cooked perfectly and the sauces were light, bright, and flavorful instead of heavy. The mac and cheese is an absolute must. They use big shell noodles with a creamy cheese sauce and toasted breadcrumbs on top which gives it great texture. The collard greens were surprisingly one of our favorite things and we went back for seconds. So much flavor. The spiced shrimp is a hidden gem and definitely something we grabbed multiple times. The pizza was also surprisingly good. We tried the mushroom and spinach and it honestly tasted like something you would get from a really solid pizza spot not a buffet. The only thing I would say is the chicken parm is hit or miss depending on how fresh it is. If it has been sitting it can get a little soggy so I would try to grab it when a fresh tray comes out. Pro tip leave room for dessert. The dessert section is incredible. The gelato was rich and creamy especially the chocolate. The croissant cinnamon roll hybrid was flaky on the outside with a soft gooey center and the cookies and cream cheesecake was rich without being too heavy. I also really liked how the seating is set up. You can sit on either side of the buffet and choose between booths or tables which makes it feel a little less chaotic. This is definitely a spot we will keep coming back to when we are at Borgata. read more

A pretty solid buffet considering there aren't many buffet options in the area! Sushi - dry and tasted fake Seafood - all of their fishes were the highlight of the offerings! The carving station had a salmon larger than I've ever seen too. Also appreciate that they offer a spiced version of the cocktail shrimp. Meats - prime rib was very dry and overcooked but the grilled steak has really great taste Everything else is pretty standard for a buffet. Huge compliments on all of the sauces they offer to go along with your food (steak sauce, au jus, melted butter, etc.). read more

A Love Story That Faded Once upon a time, the Borgata Buffet was that girl in Atlantic City. Prime rib was priming, ravioli was ravishing, and the lines were long for a very good reason. We showed up hungry and left happy, slightly overstuffed, and already planning our next visit. Fast forward a few years... and whew. Things have changed. This buffet has been on a slow, steady decline--like a long-term relationship where nobody wants to say it out loud. The cleanliness? Not what it used to be. The food quality? A shadow of its former, glorious self. It's giving "I remember when you used to try." I wish I could blame it on covid but I can't. The decline was long before any shut downs. Now don't get me wrong--if you've got comps, this place still makes sense. Free food always tastes at least a little better. But if I'm pulling out my own wallet? I'd rather take that money and chase quality elsewhere in AC. So yes, Borgata Buffet, I'll always remember you for who you were. But who you are now? We might just be better as acquaintances who wave at each other in passing. read more

lol very mid! Price is good. Options are basic. Service is basic if you're looking for a little razzle dazzle this is not the place to be. I have no complaints but also would not recommend and would not return. It was clean and organized, but the food was bland and dry, but for the price he really can't go wrong unless you want some excitement read more

THE GOOD ---------------- + LOTS of booth seating. + Decent selection of food (sushi, clams, mussels, steak, prime rib carving station, vegetables, pastas, fried rice, noodles, pastries, gelato, etc.) to choose from. + Nothing really jumped out, but the food quality was decent and nothing was absolutely terrible or horrific. + Kids under 3 eat for free! THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Definitely have seen larger buffets with a much larger variety. - Sushi seemed a bit suspect with the way it looked and there wasn't a whole lot of monitoring of customers just dumpling the tongs into the food pit. - Restrooms are only outside of the buffet. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = During prime dining times, there might seem like there is a bit of a wait, but it's mostly just employees waiting to seat incoming customers even though there seems to be PLENTY of space inside. read more

Coming here on a Monday for a brunch buffet which was really awesome because it's only $24.99 per person and I think that is a steal. . I really like their omelette station and I enjoyed making a egg white with vegetarian and it was really healthy and I do love how I didn't add any cheese. Some of the veggies that it contains is spinach mushrooms onions bell pepper and I did use egg white. The lady was very impressive making six omelets at a time and she was taking everyone's order correctly and everyone was patiently waiting. . I also enjoy the soup selection they had a mushroom of cream and they also had a chicken noodle soup and they were both delicious and comforting for a cold day. . They also have your breakfast items like smoked salmon and they have french toast and pancakes as well as your breakfast potatoes crispy bacon and sausage and eggs. . They also have a Carving Station where they have flank steak and even ham. . They also had a fruit bar with lots of fruits and they have fresh strawberries to watermelon and melons and bananas too. I also like how they have cereal too. They also got your grits Cream of Wheat and oatmeal too. . Overall this Buffet is one of my new favorite ones in Atlantic City and I can't wait to come back when I come visit. This hotel is very fancy and I do like the layout is very festive and it's already November 2025 and it's already decorated as Christmas. If you're looking for a brunch buffet on a Monday this spot is the one to go to for a 24.99. Thanks for reading and have a yelp-tastic day. read more

- Decent variety, but food isn't as good as I remembered from years ago - Options include basic sushi rolls, mussel/clam (gritty) pots, BBQ ribs, carving station prime rib, fried chicken, pastas, and Asian-inspired fast food (lo mein, fried rice, spring rolls); vegetables and other sides were fine, but nothing stood out - Service was fast and efficient; plates were cleared promptly, and extra napkins/wet naps were provided as needed - Good for families with young children--kids UNDER 3 eat free, and kids from 3 up (not sure what's the cut off age) are 1/2 off - Huge dining area with plenty of seating; comfortable atmosphere; tables spaced well apart; surprisingly low noise for such a big space - No wait around 5:50pm on a Friday, but the line grew quickly after we were seated - No restrooms inside the buffet, so you'll need to exit and use the casino floor restrooms, then re-enter through the exit read more

We came for brunch on a Friday at 10AM. It wasn't very crowded but became crowded as the morning went on. We were led to a booth and we immediately headed to the buffet. The food area was kept clean and there were many food choices. There was a fresh fruit area. They had shrimp cocktail. They had an omelette station where there was always a long line. There was a carving station for flank steak and glazed ham. There was the usual breakfast food like scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, oatmeal, grits, cream of wheat, bagels (bagels had cream cheese, lox, capers, tomatoes that you can build yourself). There were also usual lunch food like baked salmon, pork chops, fried rice. They also had a dessert station that included gelato. For $25 it's not a bad deal for all that food. Is the quality the best? It's hit and miss for some of the food. The smoked salmon eggs benedict was dried out. They also had baked salmon was nice and moist. The flank steak was surprisingly good. The shrimp cocktail was bland. The gelato was good. A waitress is on hand to remove your plates and to get you drinks. read more

Not the most appetizing picture, but the Sunday brunch buffet was so good! Generous portions of prime rib, fantastic cocktail shrimp, chorizo hash, among so many other options. Pastries, salads, soups, nachos, sandwiches, ham, Chinese, anything you could want was on the buffet. Our server was ON TOP of her game. Made sure I had hot, fresh coffee all morning long. The only downfall was that we both had stomach surgery, but my husband's was very recent so he can only eat 4-8oz of food and they made him pay full price rather than the child price. read more

Came for dinner and wasn't impressed. The seating area was huge, waiters were friendly and attentive and removed used plates quickly. There wasn't any overcrowding and the food was always stocked which doesnt always happen at a buffet. The food selection honestly wasn't much and what they did have wasn't special. There were only three selections for sushi rolls and you can tell from the rice they werent made fresh and had been refrigerated for a while. One carving station for prime rib. The grilled steaks were so dry and tough. Even their bread was stale and felt like a rock. Our favorite item was the sweet potato casserole. Pretty much what you would expect from a casino buffet. read more

We've been known to periodically splurge on dinner. (Check out "Lazy Betty" or "Bacchanalia" if you're in Atlanta.) I resent paying inflated prices for food that's likely mediocre. But why stew over something you have no control over when choices are limited? Weighing our options, we decided upon the buffet at the Borgata. We read that the mussels are good, which swayed our decision. $90 for the two of us -- not worth it -- but okay. As the fellow on line ahead of us said, "you're bound to find something you like." And he's right. Mussels in spicy red sauce aren't bad. The steamed clams, not so much. I tried a little-of-this and a little-of-that. Nothing knocked my socks off. T was impressed with his prime rib. I tasted his chicken. How could it look so crisp, but taste mushy? Desserts are another story. Pretty good! They have a brownie tart that I topped with vanilla gelato. T's favorite was bread pudding. Four stars is generous, but not the worst meal I've had. What I DID like -- which had nothing to do with dinner -- is the non-smoking section in Borgata's casino. We quickly blew $20 and headed back to our hotel. read more

We Came to brunch here and the options were endless. If your a gold card member the buffet is 12.50, sapphire is regular price. I'm a sapphire as I'm starting to use my perks and come here more often.

Regular price for brunch is 31.99 she saved me a few bucks I only snapped a few photos but there is so much more here. I also got the fresh made veggie omelet. There's Also a dessert section, fresh meat carving, pizza, Asian food, fruit, shrimp bar etc! read more

A little bit Disappointed. While their selection is outstanding, so much food, much of it was bland. Highlights were the fresh carving station, the clams, and shrimp. I was sad about the fried chicken. Definitely need to add gravy or hot sauce. Desserts were good and plenty of choices as well. Soups were ok. Service is outstanding and you can definitely get your money worth by eating as much as you want. read more

Casino buffets are infamous so we had to try one out in Atlantic City. Unfortunately Borgata Buffet did not reach our expectations. The rest of Borgata is great but the food was pretty mid. The good thing was that there was absolutely no line to the place. In the beginning, the food seemed to be pretty good, but one plate in and you'll realize that nothing there was made well or made you want to get a second serving. I did appreciate the variety they had though. Usually I would really want to eat a lot of things at the buffet but I was incredibly okay leaving without feeling full. What I would recommend: - Boiled clams were okay although some were not cooked all the way. - Plantains were also okay. What I would not recommend: - Chocolate ice cream was pretty artificial tasting. - The prime rib was tough, not tender, and lukewarm. - The king salmon was pretty dry and the way they cut it for you disseminated all the juices that could be on there. I think if there was even a little bit more vegetables here I would be happier, or even some fruit. Unfortunately, I will not be coming back again. read more

Friendly service. Food is a bit cold before you walk around, making your food cooler to select items and wait on lines. Steak is good and the catfish, but muscles were great. The shrimp should be larger for the cocktail. Those are more for a salad. The dessert bar is sweet, but overall, there are only a few selections. My favorite is the bread pudding and gelato. That's a nice treat. Fountain drinks are included in the price. A quick stop if you're hungry. read more

Parking for the Borgata was $5 only. Went for brunch on a Sunday, about $31pp. Until 2 pm. Our large group decided to split up as advised, faster to get tables. We ended up in the same area anyway. There was a variety of breakfast and lunch items, sides,carving station, omelet station, desserts and more. If able to wait, get food after they replenish the serving plates bec. some food were kind of dry. The prime rib was good, best with the au jus and horseradish. Satisfied with the savory food I chose to try. For dessert, I used to want to taste each one but this time, I picked 3 and only liked the chocolate mousse and mango gelato. Beverages are included - we were able to get our own, plus refills since we were seated near the dispensers. 3.5-4 stars read more

Had a great experience today for lunch at the borgata buffet. I personally prefer the brunch better that I've been too a million times. I love the combo of breakfast and lunch foods. But today we did the lunch, it was $55 for 2 people which I feel is a great deal for a large variety of foods and desserts and beverages included. My personal favorite was the Mac & cheese, general tso chicken & the spring rolls. The buffet had a wide range of lunch foods such as Chinese/asian cuisine, salad bar, soups, pizza, fish options, many meat selections (chicken, brisket, steak), Mexican cuisine, etc. the dessert station has phenomenal choices such as gelato, puddings, cakes, cookies and more. I love this place and will continue to come back but I highly recommended brunch rather than lunch. The service is also very good here as well! read more

Look, I love a good buffet. The Borgata Buffet used to be the crown jewel of AC buffets, sad to think that it might still be. The glory days here have long since faded. Service is still very good with friendly and efficient service and buspersons, but the quality of the food has taken a nose dive as has the selection. Nearly everything was overcooked and flavorless. The hot line with chock-full of filler carbs, and crowds of plate-wielding patrons surrounded empty serving stations of the high-ticket menacingly waiting to pounce on the poor employee bringing out the next plate of mussels. Just not worth $43 per person before gratuity or having to fight through other guests to get to the "good stuff." read more

I've been wanting to try this buffet, as it's one of few left in AC. It's definitely the best one of the bunch. However it's not the best I've been to either. I went for the brunch on a Sunday. It was a pretty long wait but I went around Noonish which is the busy time. The line was definitely shorter as I was leaving. The service was good. Refills for the drinks came quickly and the empty plates were also cleared quickly. Most of the food was breakfast ish which is good but I was expecting a little more "lunch" food. There was an egg station which was pretty busy. Plenty of desserts as well. I'll be back to try the dinner next time. read more

This place is the pits! I'm not one to give negative feedback but for 90.00 for two people it was a huge disappointment! Shrimp were so hard and dried out, we couldn't get the shells off, sushi was definitely old and not fresh, rolls were stale not fresh, the only good thing was the prime and mashed potatoes and small tiny cheesecake bites. Do better borgata! Service was good read more

I been here past 10 years. It used to be decent back when it was run by Borgata. After when MGM took over they hire new restaurants company that mainly Caribbean staff and food is so nasty . This staff reminds me of hospital cooks. Only bright spot is that there's no more wait time anymore. Maybe cause is unedible and better food at the cafeteria. read more

went there for breakfast today and got my omelette and then went to get some fruit. i put grapes in my plate and then quickly realized there was a black hair in the grapes. gross/ I called the girl from behind the display and gave her the plate and showed her .. her response to me was it's ok.. what.. no it. is definitley not ok. hen I asked for the manager on duty, she came and I told her of the hair in the grapes. her response to me was they wear hair nets.. I don't care what they wear as there was hair in the grapes. she could have cared less and didn't even make them get rid of the bowl of grapes. needless to say I will not be eating here anymore. read more

Wow! This is THE BEST buffet I've ever been too, and I've been to a-lot of them! Stations among stations of top notch food! It was nothing short of amazing! The "stars" for me were the catfish, stuffed flounder, risotto, chicken dumplings, and brownies! The gelato was decadent too! I looked for, and had, my favorites, but missed many stations. My good God - everything under the sun! It was piggity packed but flowed pretty nicely. Our server was nice and attentive. I'm really good with watching what I eat, and stayed away from the fried foods and most desserts. I'd go back in a heart beat! read more

I love the Borgata buffet!!! Every time my friends and I come to AC we make sure we hit the buffet. Check the hours before you go though because the brunch is only on Saturday and Sunday which we didn't know so we went on a Friday and were disappointed because we wanted their amazing home fries and omelets! Instead we got lunch which was just as good! My favorite food items here are the home fries like I mentioned, the spring rolls, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, mac n cheese, chicken nuggets, and much more. The desserts are also good, I liked the Pana Cotta the best! Can't wait to come back! read more

This review is mainly focus on the Borgata Thanksgiving buffet. Time: 1200-2100, the line is long. Make sure you plan out ample time ahead. See videos on how long the line was. And people started getting in line shortly after 1100. Gold and platinum members have much shorter lines. Price: $44.99 & & 25.99 for Gold members Service: fast and efficient from lead staff to wait staff, plates were cleaned out pretty quickly. Foods: has a good variety, many protein, seafood, and vegetables options. Overall taste is not bad. Make sure you try the Thanksgiving pizza , it was interesting and delicious. Atmosphere: it was super crowded on Thanksgiving day and pretty loud , with people waiting to be seated just standing around inside the buffet area. Wish the restaurant would kept people waiting by the entrance and not mixed in with the eaters. Overall experience: do recommend. read more

This used to be the best buffet in town, but now, it's sub par at best. It was a Saturday night, and it was over 3/4 empty. For such a beautiful hotel, I really was disappointed in our experience. No crab to be found. The prime rib was overcooked, the shrimp were okay... the choices weren't as great as the past or other buffets that I have been to and it just wasn't tasty. I expected more from the Borgata. I would only go here again if I was with a group who didn't know what they wanted to eat. I will say the server was sweet and attentive. The time limit is 2 hours, so if you find something you like, you can fill up that way. The things I found tolerable were the Mac and cheese, the general tso chicken, shrimp, the sirloin and the olives in the salad bar were great. Next time we will take a chance on the buffet at the Hard Rock. At least we can get the seafood buffet on Thursdays. read more

Borgata Buffet - Simply not worth the price. - Buffets Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

Their food is subpar in comparison to the price we paid for. The server doesn't come around to give us a refill. The food appears fresh and good quality but lacks flavor and overall blend. The desert was a bit better but still okay. I don't think I'll ever come back here. There's way better options in the casino. Especially with the fact that I never had any food problems in borgata, I was disappointed with the quality of food here at the buffet DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

For what it was worth this buffet didn't disappoint! Though this was a bit more expensive buffet than your average buffet the options and quality were not bad. There was a whole salad bar but I obviously skipped with all the options. I tried the different soup options and was surprised to find the New England clam chowder to be filled with clams and the chicken noodle soup was also tasty. The cooked options include foods from different cultures include: Asian, Creole, Italian and different seafood options. I filled my plate with cooked clams and mussels and enjoyed it - not full of flavor or spice but still great! Also was hesitant but decided to go for the cocktail shrimp - usually I'm hesitant and nervous to get food poisoning but didn't happen here! For dessert the options included mini pies, chocolate cake, and even gelato. I ordered a coffee and had gelato in it as my final touch to my meal. No complaints but five stars would be Caesar's in Vegas - still solid place for AC! read more
