My review is for the Market Buffet located in Caesars Windsor. I gave it 3 stars, only because I couldn't give it 2 1/2 stars.
I cannot confirm this, but I was told that the Buffet use to prep and make all of their food on-site, including their desserts. I believe this to be true. I remember when the Buffett first opened, the food was amazing; it didn't matter what day of the week you went, it was good. Even if you are not a dessert person, you'd save room (or not) for the Buffet's dessert bar. Unfortunately, that cannot be said today. I find during the week the Buffet to be sub-par; it tends to redeem itself on the weekend (Friday to Sunday), not to the quality it once had though. It seems to me that some, if not all of the food has been prepped off-site, especially the desserts. If this is the case, then whomever thought this was a good idea should be released from Caesars. It is not a good idea. I would (and believe people would) pay a bit more for good quality foods and desserts prepped and made on-site.
The stars of the buffet: pasta bar, the jackpot chicken, salad bar, their breaded fish (smelt, haddock, pickerel, etc.), mashed potatoes (can be hit or miss), the Asian offering (again depending on who's prepping and/or cooking), Cream Anglais sauce, cobbler, bread pudding, and the fresh made crepes.
The disappointments of the buffet: prim rib (can be good- many times too fatty, tough and no flavour), pierogies, some of the soups taste like packaged product, bread selection, some of the vegetables are very bland (not all).
The above are just a few of the items that are in my opinion either hit, or miss.
Caesars Windsor has a lot to offer. It is a great place to bring friends, or family for a nice evening out, or just to get away for a couple of hours in the afternoon. They should be the Premier Buffet destination in the City. They should offer better quality on-site prepped and cooked foods for their patrons; even if they need to raise the price, I believe people will still opt to come to Caesars.
To sum up the only thing I can really say when it comes to how enjoyable the Buffet is that it is a 'crap-shoot" (no pun intended). It comes down to the talented chef/cook who can make wonders out of what he/she has to work with. I would suggest saving your money and wait until the weekend to try the Buffet. read more
