It's a buffet..I'd argue the best buffet around! Not sure why the the poor reviews. The crab legs are always delicious and the prime rib is a major home run. Their fried chicken is seasoned and fried perfectly. Desserts are tasty. All around huge selection...they have something for everyone. Service is always great and the restaurant is clean! We really enjoyed our dinner this evening. read more

Butterfield's Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Durant, Oklahoma

Absolutely do not recommend! We went for brunch and it was outrageously overpriced for mediocre at best, 90% fried food. Limited choices, repetitive dishes. Should have drove on to Golden Corral. Would have been better food with more choices at less than half the price. Plus, the website prices are wrong. We were charged $10 more than what is on the website, because the prices had raised (months before). We almost left, and I wished we would have. We could have had a nice steak dinner. Cold dishes, over/undercooked food, greasy, bland. Don't waste your $$$ The only good part was our server, who was 100% attentive and friendly. read more

This buffet is located within Choctaw Casino & Resort which is easily accessible off I-69. There are signs at the buffet entrance with pricing information and another sign indicating a line for casino members (who can get a discount) and a line for regular guests. I was honestly concerned about trying this place out and skeptical about the quality of food that would be served after reading some of the existing reviews. Unfortunately I feel similarly about what many have already said. They take payment at the entrance and then take you to your table. The server brings and refills your soft drinks/tea/coffee (which are included in the price of the meal), and you grab a new plate each time you want to take a trip up to the buffet area like usual. The restaurant was definitely not occupied by many guests at all and it was during peak lunch hours. The atmosphere wasn't anything to write home about, and in fact a little dark and dim, making it somewhat sad. The buffet area is split into several different stations including salads and cold food items, soup, Asian, Italian, American, BBQ and meats, noodles, and dessert. Most of the areas were manned by an employee who would take your plate and fill it with whatever item you want. This is not a buffet where you help and serve yourself. While there is a decent variety of food offered, the quality of the items were very subpar, reminding me of buffet chains back in the day. The BBQ meats were dry and tough to chew through. The fried fish was overdone and barely flaky. The soups were bland and watery. Grilled and steamed vegetable items were undercooked and not very flavorful. You get the idea. The most memorable items I fairly enjoyed on my plate were mashed potatoes with gravy and fried tofu strips. Oh, and I noticed there were a lot of tiny mosquitos flying around The, especially hovering over the salad area. The dessert bar appeared to have a few sugar-free items good for those who have to be cautious or prefer a zero sugar option, and the regular desserts were A-OK. Cake slices were plated individually, ice cream sundaes are made to order, and cookies are put out so you can take it yourself. The sundae was actually pretty good and I was able to top it off with a few of my favorite things. The service was alright and our server kept our drinks filled and took dirty plates off the table in no time. The gratuity has already been paid with the meal upon entrance, so unless you want to tip more you can. All in all, it is not worth time or money unless you plan to stay at the casino to play for a long time and need something to keep your hunger pangs away, or if you're a member who has earned a free meal. read more

I had a hard time deciding what rating to give. So first, it's a buffet, and has the standard buffet issues, so I wanted to go higher because if you're grading on a scale, there are just things you grow to expect. Second, the price is kinda steep ($30 each for brunch on Saturday), so you also start to have higher expectations. The service was what you'd expect, nothing more, nothing less. Husband and I both had a couple refills of drinks, and those were pretty prompt. Plenty of seating. Music was on, loud enough to hear, but quiet enough to hold a conversation. Now, the food... First, you are mostly served at the buffet, which is so strange to me, and I don't specifically like it. It definitely creates lines. The food is hit or miss. Some items were piping hot while others seemed like they had been out for hours. Which, again, is a theme at buffets. Nothing had flavors that wowed us or made me want to come back tomorrow. read more

While there are quite a lot of newer buildings at the Choctaw casino in Durant, Butterfield's buffet has unfortunately been left behind. Admittedly it has been 5 years since I've been here, but a combination of my daughter's 18th birthday as well as her desire to eat crab and legally gamble with us was quite the draw. We went out on a Friday night as they were having AYCE crab night. In addition to the crab, there's also the carving station, to which I will give credit to the prime rib cuts we all got from there, and the toned down creamy horseradish sauce which takes a little bit of the edge off a straight shot of horseradish by itself. They also have a peel n eat shrimp and an oyster bar...I thought the shrimp looked okay but boy I would certainly not take a chance on those oysters. They were stacked high so not all of them were on the ice to keep them cold.... There is also a chinese food/ pho station. I tried the pho and immediately stopped as it was quite salty. I didn't expect much from a buffet but this rated even lower than that. Lots of desserts and I think our party liked the pecan pie the best. Also home cooking are and a very broad salad bar. The crab was hit or miss. Some of it looked so dreary that it made you want to pass on the plate they offered and go back to the end of the line and take your chances again. The line was never more than 10-12 people as at 8:00 PM it really didn't feel that busy, although all the tables around us were full. Our server Cody was great at keeping our drinks filled up and clearing plates. Place doesn't seem loud and you can certainly have your own conversations without fear of someone else being right on top of you to hear what you have to say. Buffet area was clean and, though there were a few times were a couple tables were left with dirty dishes on them, overall place is clean. This one you pay in advance and with a basic player discount (no status) we paid about $177 prior to tip. I gave Cody $20 for taking care of us. Comparatively vs a restaurant in the Dallas area it would be about $45-50 per plate so AYCE at this price is a value. I understand it has to be done on a mass production scale, but despite that handicap it still wasn't fantastic. read more

Crazy to advertise you have lobster when you don't is sad. The food was mostly cold sadly.

I will say; this was a disappointment! Yes - $20 for lunch buffet may seem mild but there was nothing to brag about... No steak no seafood and just the basics. Not even a grilled cheese worth snatching Service was great - drinks were never past half empty and plates were cleared regularly. Then the robot hauled them to the kitchen which was amusing First time and most likely; last read more

Technically it's a Buffet purely in the sense that you can have unlimited portions. The food is Nit Goid. The fried fish we got was rock hard inedible. The server noticed and brought us a couple of Frsh pieces with an apology of We've been slow and they Iver prepared. Well then that must have been the copout for All the food. Quite frankly other than the salad looked fresh it was abysmal AND at 35$ a Person for a Thursday night it's Ludicrous. I don't recommend Nor Will I go back. The Grand Cafe is MUCH BETTER and has Great Service. The Buffet is a Waste of time and Money. read more

What happened to this place? It has been a few years since we have been. We were looking forward to it. It is no longer self-serve. They put very small portions on your plate and look at you funny when you ask for more. All of our food was cold. Wasn't very good. Sure not worth the money you pay. Will not be going back again. Miss the old buffet. read more

It was surprisingly good. All offerings were fresh and well prepared. Initially I didn't want to go here but the others in our group did. Glad we went. read more

This buffet is inside the Choctaw casino. We went on Saturday night and they had crab legs and fresh raw oysters. We had a party of 8, so the server put us in the VIP room since other tables were not available to combine. The buffet is a good size, 4 different stations to choose from and salad bar/desserts are in the middle. Busy restaurant and servers are constantly walking around emptying the buckets of shells and refilling the drinks. Ambiance in the VIP room made it feel extra special since we had a huge round table. read more

Worst dining experience of my life. Our server was unprofessional and petty. She was an elderly lady who clearly does not like people of color. It was an incredibly uncomfortable experience. Food was mediocre for the price. Very disappointed with how expensive it was to be treated so poorly. read more

Inside Choctaw casino. Come hungry to get your money's worth as it is a bit pricey . The crab leg special on Thursday nights is very tasty - but a lot of work. The egg rolls and orange chicken were very good, the only self/serve is the pre-plated deserts. So staff even serve you the salad bar. Staff serving at the stations were friendly and helpful. Our table attendant was not very engaging. Look for complementary meals through players club. read more

Butterfield's Buffet - Crab legs - Buffets Near Me - Durant, Oklahoma

I went to Choctaw for an event and my family ate at Butterfields for the buffet. You get a drink of your choice that is refillable. I was disappointed to find that the choices available at this buffet is very small. The prime beef and the snow crab were good, but that's about it. Everything else they served at the buffet was generic fried food or the kind of food you see at Chinese takeout. They had a pho station too but obviously it wasn't going to be amazing since it was coming from a buffet. I got a plate with fried shrimp, egg rolls, and wonton soup. Not bad honestly but still not something I would ever order at a restaurant. My uncle pulled off a pro move of putting the prime beef in his bowl of pho though and that looked pretty good. Dessert wasn't the greatest either. Unless you're on with only eating prime beef and snow crab the whole time, this place isn't really worth it. read more

I ate there for free and that was too expensive. Just not good. There are a lot of options but nothing we had was good. We didn't eat much.

This is the worst brunch I have ever eaten. I spent $52.75 for 2 people with 1 coffee 1 coke. That is after they deducted $20.00 for a food credit. I got bacon, sausage, eggs, potatoes, biscuits and gravy. I threw out over 90% of it. The bacon was ok, I ate that. We have eaten crab dinner there before and it was good. But even dinner there last night was not as good as the past. The gravy had no flavor , tastes like bagged gravy very bland no bits of sausage. The sausage was bland, burnt and like cardboard. The biscuits was mushy and just fell apart. The flavor was ok but so artificial. Potatoes flavorless and dry. Eggs tasted like powdered or bagged eggs. I calmly informed the sweet waitress, she was fantastic and apologetic. She offered the manager but I said no thank you. I did not want her uncomfortable. Nor did I want it to look like I just wanted a free meal. The poor girl had a couple next to us that also threw out their food complaining about the quality. I spent $297.00 for hotel, $550.00 for Joe Bonamassa tickets, $700.00 ( donated to casino), $125.00for dinner and brunch. Food bad, out of 3 elevators only 1 worked. ( being on 12fh floor steps not an option) and the room was plain, nothing special. I even called in advanced and asked to have roses, wine, and strawberries for a surprise for my wife for her birthday. I was told sorry we don't do that. Really at an high end resort? Really? Then to check in the hotel you must check in at the smokers section. Then have to walk through the smoke to get to non-smokers section. Never, Never again I will go to Windstar. . read more

My family and I love to come here for the crab and prime rib night! It's a great price for an all you can eat buffet and the staff is always very helpful. Prime rib has good flavor and the snow crab is steamed nicely. read more

2 stars for being free. Total would have been over $70. I'm glad it was free. So I liked the pork egg rolls. They were fresh and crispy. Brisket was OK. I like the burnt ends. Ribs were OK as well. Cheesecake was good. A lot of food had been sitting there for a bit. Some foods were staie or dry. The corn on the cob was overcooked. Overall, for the price not worth it. Maybe if you get lucky and you happen to get everything while it's fresh, it might taste better??? First time to this buffet. I hate to say it, but it's more towards cafetería food. Slightly about cafetería food since they have Ribs, Tri-tip, and brisket. This is my opinion based on my tastebuds. read more

After a round of golf in the scorching sun... was famine and tried this place since it was Crab and Seafood selection for dinner. Although their selection is limited, the quality is pretty good for the price we paid. $40 for dinner and if you have the players card from the casino you get 10% off. Each person needs their own card. They happen to have prime rib, brisket, oysters, hot snow crab legs, cocktail shrimp, ettoufee which tasted very good with the white rice and they also have pho and a Chinese section. Overall is a good place to eat and the line isn't as long as you would find at the Winstar buffet. Not as many selection but they make up in quality and reasonable price read more

The absolute worst buffet I've ever been to. Golden Corral puts this place to shame at half the price. Selection was poor, and the food they did have was below average. Still serving breakfast food at 1pm??? If Choctaw Casino is trying to replicate a Las Vegas experience, they've far underperformed in regard to a buffet experience. Biggest waste of money ($30) for food that I've had in a very long time. Do not waste your money here!!! read more

Surprisingly good. My son got a couple of buffet comps for his birthday. My expectation was casino buffet food. Prime rib was outstanding, cream horseradish and raw horseradish. Fried green beans, crispy catfish, fried chicken thigh, mashed potatoes, honey glazed carrots, dinner roll and chocolate cake. Hot fresh food. Clean dining area. Excellent service. Almost 5 stars, but it is a casino buffet.. lol Will definitely return if I'm visiting this casino. read more

This food was terrible! The selection was scarce and it was quite apparent that the food was NOT fresh! The food served ranged from "store bought" frozen to "store bought and sat in an unsanitary refrigerator" for far too long! Gnats everywhere! This is one of the worst places I've ever been to! NEVER AGAIN! read more

I usually do not do buffets - but was given 2 free dinners at the buffet. The Food at dinner Sunday night was not very good, nothing seemed fresh, mashed potatoes so salty you could not eat. I shared with girl who checked us in about concern in regard to the food but seemed to go on death ears. Salads where not fresh. I tried a little of the catfish as it was being put out. They do serve you so there are not a bunch of people handling the food before you get on the plate. Large room but the 15 folks in the place put on top of each other. read more

If you get it FREE, I'd take it. But, if I'm being honest, I would not pay for this buffet. The crab legs are t seasoned...at all. The salad bar was just ok. Again, not a buffet I'd pay for. The line was super long. It was packed. It was loud and hard to walk to the eating stations, because of the crowd. read more

I'm not sure why people hate this buffet. Compared to Winstar and Riverwind buffet, this by far is the best casino one. The food is always fresh and the staff work their tails off to serve you. It has a good variety of seafood, meats, bbq, salads, fruits, desserts, Italian side and an Asian side. The food is tasty and it is hot. My fav is seafood night and they give you a whole lobster and you can eat all the fresh oyster you want. They are pretty clean and they serve you so everyone doesn't touch the plates. We have never been disappointed when we eat here. Only complaint I have is the manager who works in the front. He's a miserable old soul. read more

Butterfield's Buffet - The variety of food they have. Whole lobster, fresh oysters, catfish, shrimp, pasta, salads, and prime rib. - Buffets Near Me - Durant, Oklahoma

The buffet is very good and the staff is very friendly. I came to the buffet while on a roadtrip back to Texas. The wait was not that bad and we were seated right away after paying. The buffet is still under covid protocols so everything is served to you. All you do is go to the buffet line and tell them what you want. It is all you can eat. Two tips I have is go on weekends or holidays as the food choices are a bit better and go use the restroom before you go. The restroom is not in the buffet area and you have to leave to go use the restroom. Don't forget your players card as you do get a buffet discount. read more

Excellent service, and a beautiful restaurant. The food was mediocre at best, frozen chicken fried steak, overcooked rib roast, greasy fried chicken, the sides were tried mashed potatoes and green beans were ok. The salad bar was fresh and probably the best thing we tried. The desserts we tried, coconut cream pie, pecan pie, banana pudding were awful. However the soft serve was delish. read more

I would say this buffet is just okay and definitely not worth the price of admission of $40 dollars for seafood buffet. They serve you the food as there were plastic coverings over the food. The cons is there are not enough servers as there were some stations that were empty and no one serving especially the nacho line. People sometimes cut if front of you, so be wary of that. They have these stations with these foods that I can recall 1. Salad - they have different variety of salads potato, pea, macaroni and this is where you get your nacho toppings too 2. American - fried chicken, frog legs, fried chicken, corn, pork, prawns 3. Carving station - prime rib and tri tip 4. Seafood station - raw oysters, shrimp, seafood salad 5. Asian/Lobster station - lobster, orange chicken, string beans 6. Dessert station - pull of pies, cheese cake, bread pudding. What you should get? 1. Prime rib and tri tip - usually with buffets they really miss on this one as the meat is usually over cooked, but since we were the first in line we got first dibs of the food. I wanted to get more, but I can not eat too much red meat 2. Dessert- cheese cake and macroons 3. Frog legs - it was one of my favorite 4. Nachos What was disappointing? 1. Lobster - overcooked and sometimes the lobster had eggs which was overcooked. This line does get long, but it takes 7 minutes to get the food as all they have to do is put the lobster on the plate 2. Shrimp - overcooked and disgusting 3. Raw oyster - hit and miss on these, but I had one and was not too bad, but I try not to eat too many of these as buffet oysters do not look as good as the one in the restaurants Was the seafood buffet worth it - no not really, but if you get a players card you get 10% off. Since now I am upgraded, I get 25% dollars off. The service was exception as they made sure you had enough drinks and clearing the plates. Buffet inside is small and carpet is old. I would suggest going early to eat as we saw the line go out of the door at night time. But line is not as long as Winstar buffet. read more

Mediocre buffet - the best thing here is the Mac n cheese (I think they use gruyere because it rivals Beecher's Mac n cheese!) There are 5 or so options for each type of cuisine (Italian - all meat options except for the cheese pizza, Chinese - fried rice, chow mein, eggrolls, string beans, tofu, American - mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese, fried fish, okra, hush puppies, etc). As a pescatarian I did not feel like eating the fried fish so my meal consisted of a salad from the salad bar, mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese, and tofu with string beans. The dessert bar had some pretty sorry options. The red velvet cake was pretty much inedible so I indulged in the bread pudding and cobbler a la mode. The bread pudding was a little mushy but the cobbler could do no wrong. I didn't realize they had ice cream so I was pleased when the girl accidentally brought one out to me. All in all this buffet needs some work if they want to charge $30 per person. Not sure who is frequenting this buffet at that rate! Luckily my friend had a coupon so we had a discounted rate. read more

The worst casino buffet in the world. Do not waste your time. The crab legs were old and over cooked. The Asian section food looked like it was from the day before. The deserts were horrible. Definitely not worth 45.00!!! Close this place down! read more

Butterfield's Buffet - Lobster - Buffets Near Me - Durant, Oklahoma

Low quality.. foods look very old.. and dry... service was ok.. i would rather go to the Guys kitchen or food court..

we took my uncle here because he has been wanting to try this seafood buffet ...boy were we all disappointed . we spent almost 150 dollars and the food was awful. No service whatsoever from staff. I had to place our dirty plates on tables beside and around us because no one would take them ... we literally had to beg for a refill as well ... for that kind of money you figure the crab legs would be fresh ... the oysters were almost to the point of rot ... they were slime and slid right through my fork. It was a complete waste of our money. wish i would if know this, I would have just taken him somewhere we could all enjoy. he's 73 and I don't know how many dinners I'll have left with him. sad. read more

I love the crab legs and prime rib on Friday and Saturday nights! The have gone up on the price but they now have Surf N Turf offered ALL DAY on Sundays now. Everything else on the buffet is pretty good, they've gotten a lot better. **It wasn't really crowded like it usually is on a Friday night which was kinda odd, but the food was decent and the lines weren't long. They were supposed to have Prime rib out but were "working on it" as the guy at the station put it. My husband had to settle for a few slices of New York strip steak but it tasted really good. I of course, loaded up on plenty of crab legs, peel and eat shrimp, fried she, and some scrumptious clam chowder. read more

The worst one, it doesn't even deserves one star, crab legs on Friday obviously was from last week, on Saturday left over Friday, everything not finished they reused it, even saw waiters picked up crab legs from the plates to the cart. Ppl serving crab legs deliberately put those shitty ones on the top for ppl to take first, and then only serving good ones to ppl who tips. Chickens, fried shrimps, crab legs. Everything is so dry, ppl come to casino to enjoy good times, not to take shitty food. read more

Worst buffet ever. Don't. Just don't. Expensive and very limited selection of poor food. Golden Corral is luxury eating compared to this.
