Crab legs
Trust E.

Buffet over all is ok but the crab legs are the best I tried everywhere and nowhere is as good as it's in here, always juicy and test perfect, if you want crab legs this is the only place to go

EARLY Dinner @ Centennial Buffet March 23rd 2012
Riza H. C.

I think until now I am still "drooling" or still thinking about Centennial Buffet since I like the KING CRAB LEGS to eat to my HEARTS content err in this case or opportunity to my stomach content! YES for the FRIDAY evening of March 23rd 2012, we, the ladies and I opt for to eat here AGAIN, just for the KING CRAB LEGS, to name a few for ($21.99) each person. For that amount indeed its worth just to eat those KING CRAB LEGS. We decide to have an early DINNER. Time was @ 16:30hrs ish. I am missing this place just by writing this review, and still think about their KING CRABS LEGS, the food spread and the desserts to name a few... I know for some its nothing, but geez I cant help it but drooling about it.. On a sweet note, I end my evening @ Centennial Buffet with their endless array of desserts. Hehehe :P @58/2012

After waiting for an hour.....rumors were there used to be shrimp served here
Mike A.

Had some great experiences over the past 5 years dining here - Staff is great, kind of place that has your drink filled before you ask, and your plates cleared right away as you indulge in gluttony. Sadly the quality has been progressively worse over time, I keep coming back believing things will change, and keep being disappointed. I will not be returning. Prices have been rising steadily and now the weekend buffet is $34......used to be $26 just a few years ago. I would gladly pay that kind of money if the food was good, but it's not. Dinning today for Sunday brunch left much room for improvement. Several dishes were not even warm, and the egg quische was actually cold.....I prefer my eggs at least heated. There used to be an abundance of seafood, now the past times I've been for brunch there was farm raised salmon, and shrimp and grits (actually grits and shrimp) as there were a few popcorn sized shrimp in a bowl of grits. There seemed to be lox and peel and eat shrimp, however after dining for an hour, they were never refilled, and I'm only guessing as the sign used to label all the food was never put up. A fitting metaphor for the restaurant, everything that is needed to be great is there- great servers, clean restaurant, and beautiful location, but the details like serving hot food or putting a label on the food you serve, does not happen.

Those mashed potatoes...oh yes!!!
Caryn W.

Dessert first: If I was rating just the dessert bar I'd give it four. The desserts were yummy. I was impressed the creme brulee had the hard sugar crack on top (went to a fancy pants buffet in Vegas and it's creme brulee just had soggy syrup!). Always love a good build your own ice cream sundae bar. A fantastic way to end the meal. And the rest: We went midweek around 2PM and it was not busy at all, easy to get a seat. The waitress was friendly and quickly filled drinks. There was quite a selection of items to choose from. About 75% were pretty decent and about a quarter I didnt care for. My favorites included mashed potatoes, sesame chicken, and surprisingly, the prime rib was pretty good. I didn't care much for the mac and cheese bar, great idea, but the sauces were just okay. Also the "soft" pretzels were hard. :/ Overall, for the price-$13.99 we would probably visit again---Ill just steer clear of the weird cheese sauce next time and I'll save lots more room for dessert!!!

Best Crab legs, Deep fried with a jalapeno glaze!!! This used to be our spot until they stopped offering all you can eat on the crab legs:(
Vincent R.

Let me say the food here is awesome! Great selection and almost everything tastes awesome. My favorites are the deep fried jalapeno crab leggies, Won-Tons, pizza and all of the wonderful desserts! This really would have been a 4 or 5 star review if they didn't take away the all you can eat crab legs!!! Now they charge $8 per pound! That is so lame, come on Ameristar, we know that you are making a ton of money off the games, can you at least be fair about the food?? Ever since the change we have started eating at the Monarch buffet which offers all you can eat crab legs and gives you a lobster for 18.99 per person! Be on the lookout for my review on the Monarch. If Ameristar happens to bring back the all you can eat crab legs I will be happy to revise my review and continue frequenting their establishment. #missingmycrableggies

For a buffet, it ranks at the top. Right in the casino. Variety of foods, including American, Vietnamese, Mexican (tamales were very good, and had some bite to them), etc. the dessert options are numerous. Full cheese cake slices, fruit toppings, creme brûlée, carrot cake, ice cream, chocolate fundue, cookies, pies, banana bread, etc. A little pricey but overall, a good meal.

Golden coral taste better and has more selections. If you like crabs they'll feed you crabs but don't expect too much out of them.

As buffets go, nowadays, this is definitely one of the better options. I've read a lot of comments…read moreabout the food being bad, moldy, or tasteless, and that was not our experience at all. The service was fast for removing our plates, and in some cases, maybe even a little too fast! The food is refilled quickly, and the fresher options are out there. It is true you only get one serving of crab and lobster but that is unfortunately just the way things are now with buffets. It is not unique to a specific buffet. When we come back to Blackhawk in one buffet, this is the one we will be going to.

The Buffet at the Monarch Casino is awesome! From the service to the food to the atmosphere, they…read moregot it all down! The price is a bit steep at ~$60/person for dinner on the weekends, but the quality and variety of food is decent for the price. First off, the queen of the buffet, or any buffet in my opinion, are the lobster tail and snow crab. When you pay, 2 redemption coupons are handed per person; one for a lobster tail and one for 2 snow crab clusters. Although this may seem like it is not much, it really is plenty of food unless the plan is to only eat lobster and snow crab (please refer to attached picture). The pho station is ok and the prime rib was very salty, but other than those two, everything else tasted great. Service is top notch. Our server checked in on us and cleaned up our discarded lobster/crab remains very quickly and frequently. Make sure to tip your servers even at buffets!

To start, we got a spa suite for 2 nights and it was equivalent of a very high end apartment. Other "spa suites" I've stayed at in Black Hawk were nice, but they were just basic rooms with a hot tub in them. This felt like a home away from home. The staff were incredibly courteous and helpful. The bartenders and dealers were also attentive and fun to talk to. I regret not trying any of the dining options, as we had plans for dinner already, but we plan to try some again our next stay (I've heard great things about Jinya) We also really enjoyed the rooftop hot tub and pool. The temperature was perfect and I swam several laps during my stay. There are so many amenities. I Will be back here soon!

Julia and Paul the "security guards" kicked me and my best friend out for celebrating at a BJ table telling us we were "too intoxicated" and had "blood shot eyes" even though I had two drinks for free at the table and asked for bottles of water with both drinks. Julian and Paul were being so disrespectful for no reason. We also were losing money and got excited when we finally won just a tiny bit. This casino is a SCAM. Highly recommend to never come here. Horrible workers. Horrible security guards. Horrible service - 0/10 experience. Ive never been treated this horribly. Will NEVER be back. I've been to black hawk many times, i'm a colorado native and know many people that come here often. They lost a ton of business for that for absolutely no reason for this. They should 100% fire Julian and Paul the "security guards". Would not trust them securing any vacinity. Very embarrassing for them. I'm disgusted by this business. I would probably go to Monarch if you HAVE to go to Black hawk. Ameristar is the worst casino i've ever been to. I would most definitely drug test Julian and Paul. They did not seem capable to secure this casino and made us feel very unsafe. HUGE disappointment.

The choices were a buffet, 24/7 diner, steakhouse, or a taco bistro. We opted to eat at Jinya Ramen at Ameristar. Also, I was unimpressed by the sparse new player rewards.

I no longer wonder. The staff is absolutely deplorable. They seemed to have some bias against my boyfriend who is a white male and I - a black woman. We checked out the lower level and then hopped on a couple machines on the upper before deciding to leave. There was hardly anyone there but we did notice a security guy sort of lurking. He hopped on his radio and before we knew it we were ambushed by a floor manager and security telling us to leave due to being "intoxicated " and that it's against the law to gamble while intoxicated. I was shocked to say the least. I had 4 inch platform heels on and we were quietly enjoying ourselves not bothering a soul. It's insane how rude they were with telling us to finish our drink and leave. Absolutely disgusting racist behavior. I will never ever recommend this casino. EVER. Stay away.

This place would be 5 stars if not for the food poisoning. We had been to Chop House once before…read moreand had a wonderful experience. I had given it 5 stars then, which I included in an overall review of the Monarch where it is located. However, with this last visit, that was not the case at all. This is an upscale, dimly lit steakhouse, and we had an amazing time trying it for our anniversary a while back. When we went to celebrate my birthday this year, it was a different story. Though service was attentive, prompt and friendly (which of course was reflected in our tip) I cannot give extra stars, as the food physically made my husband ill. He decided to have the lobster bisque, and unfortunately it immediately did not sit well with him. I tried it as well, and it tasted rancid. Being polite, he just pushed it to the side and did not say anything. Then the staff came over a few times asking about the bisque, then proceeded to comp it, which made us even more concerned. I'm a professional chef, and we do not serve anything that tastes or smells even remotely questionable, especially when it comes to seafood. He was ill for hours afterward (and into the next day). After tasting it myself, I could not stomach much more of our very expensive meal. My steak and French onion soup were fantastic in flavor, but I was not able to enjoy much of it, as I also had a nasty taste from the bisque and felt nauseous just from the smell alone. They did bring me a free birthday dessert, which I appreciate. However, I did not get to choose what I was eating. They brought out pumpkin cheesecake. To give credit- I'm sure it was chosen because it's a popular dish, but I personally do not like pumpkin at all. In fact, it makes me gag, frankly. I do however, love cheesecake and tried a bite to be polite, but I did not like it, let alone want it. I decided not to say anything about the dessert they chose for me, since I did not pay for it, and we were trying to get out of there due to not feeling great after the food served. I was disappointed even more at this point, as it would've been nice to at least be able to choose and enjoy my "celebration dessert", especially considering how much money we spent- even less the bisque. Not to mention how awful the experience was due to food poisoning. We will not be back, which is unfortunate considering how great our first experience was. This experience was awful enough to deter us from further visits....
