I didn't eat much other than crab but the crab was delicious! Warm and plentiful. Our waitress was on top of it.

We went on Friday night for the crab legs buffet, always satisfied. Service is always good and our waitress was very attentive, ambiance is always good, we ran into one of our friends there too We decided to go there at least once a month read more

Loved it. We don't have them anymore where we live and it is such a fun experience. Service was great as well.

On my recent trip to Florida we didn't get a chance to indulge in a lot of seafood so on the drive back we looked up this buffet that touted all you can eat crab?! I was intrigued and it was the perfect stop on my drive back to Texas. It's a bit off the major freeway but when you arrive you realize the Hollywood Casino is huge and this buffet is fitting to accompany it. The line to get seated packs up but the seating area is huge. It's $50 per adult, kids 3 and under are free 4-12 are $25. For the adults it was definitely worth the price. They serve the snow crabs and the Dungeness crabs in small buckets with about 2 clusters each. The snow crabs were okay but the Dungeness is where it's at! It was super juicy. They have cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, and hot butter to dip. I enjoyed the hot butter but ended up making my own lemon pepper dipping sauce later as well. This alone is worth the buffet price, but they have prime rib, steaks, and many other items to sample as well. Short and simple come for the crabs! You won't regret it. read more

Went for Sunday brunch specifically for all-you-can-eat snow crab. $50 each. Couldn't get meat out of the crab legs. They were wet, soft, and rubbery. Tried 4 buckets at different times. All the same. Strongly believe they were Saturday night leftovers, reheated. On top of that, the room was very cold, as was much of the other food. Service was good. But we paid for inedible snow crabs. read more

The food was bland and tasteless. They are afraid to season the food. The crab legs were terrible. They were overcooked and mushy. The shrimp were small and mushy. The crawfish were tiny. Should not eat those little bits. read more

Awesome food, the crabs were amazing. The staff very friendly and tentative to our party.

Nothing short of amazing! I mean, this place has really impressed me with their Mother's Day Brunch. As my first time here, I enjoyed everything offered...from the mimosas upon entering, to the food, ambiance and the highlight of the evening, the amazing saxophonist, Jordan Chaldean. Oh my goodness, he elevated the experience to heights unimaginable. The music was absolutely stunning, the food was hot, fresh and delicious and the service was excellent. Our server Nicole was the best! I will say that their buffet line is nowhere near as big as the Silver Slipper but their hospitality sure tops them any day. Their dessert bar is one huge 3/4 circle of deliciousness and then the salad bar covering the other 1/4....womp, womp, womp! LOL! Salad is a good thing, never mind me LOL Anyway, I'd certainly return and would recommend others to visit as well. read more

Epic Buffet - Lobster on a buffet. Nice!! - Buffets Near Me - Bay St. Louis, Mississippi

They had me at crab legs n lobster! This buffet was well worth the ride to Bay St Louis. We got here when it opened at 2:30. Food was fresh and delicious. They no longer require reservations so there was already a line when we arrived. Cashiers are fast so we got in pretty quickly. There was a nice selection of food and desserts. Crab legs were well seasoned and my steak was a perfect med rare. The lobster was a bit rubbery but the overall buffet was still pretty great. Although masks arent required, it would have been nice if those serving the food were wearing one..covid aside..that just seems more sanitary to me. Will be back fo sho! read more

Epic Buffet - Love the crunchy shrimp! - Buffets Near Me - Bay St. Louis, Mississippi

Although there is plenty of competition in the realm of casino buffets, I still really enjoy Epic Buffet. Even on Saturday night, there's not a long line or challenge dealing with masses of people. You might think, that would imply it's not that good, but it is, very good! On Wednesday through Sunday, that's when I have been and the price is $50. I know some consider that a bit steep but it's seafood and includes both snow crabs and Dungeness crabs. I've bought these frozen at the grocery store and spent so much more, they weren't good, they made fridge smell funny, and my garbage after a few days, it smelled of a rotting corpse - it's not worth the effort to eat these splendid crabs at home. Epic Buffet is the spot! The servers are nice, they are attentive, and you don't feel bad going through a dozen plates. The gumbo was great and the fried chicken, it was simply glorious, what dreams are made of and I had plenty. I'm sure my sodium level and blood pressure is sky high but this great meal, it was worth it. I drive from Mandeville and the 45 minutes driving home, I reflected on how great their buffet was tonight. Strangely, I don't care for buffets too often but this one, it hits the spot. read more

Epic Buffet - The Dungeness crab is as big as my plate. The warm drawn butter and the easy to crack crabs are outstanding! - Buffets Near Me - Bay St. Louis, Mississippi

The crab was amazing and so was the person serving it thank you byron for your kindness and great service

This restaurant advertised that it had seafood however it had a few boiled shrimp and a few boiled crawfish, but they were terrible. The other food was good. The servers were nice and it was clean. However, we went for seafood so we were disappointed. If you're more into just the Chinese side of it then this is the place for you. read more

Good food but expensive. Service is good and the ambiance is nice. Would recommend but make sure you can pay a good bit of money if you have a big party. read more

Love the all-you-can-eat crab legs, and lobster. Crab legs were a bit soft. Was only able to crack the main leg on about 10% of the legs. Needed to split the legs down the side with my fork. Quite a bit of work. I work to get every bit of meat from each joint and knuckle. Lobster was fine, a bit overcooked. Chef sliced turkey was excellent. Sliced prime rib was okay. Mac & cheese was very good. read more

We've given this place 3 tries, each several months apart, over the past year. The first time, the boiled seafood was good enough to make up for the garbage casino buffet food. The second and third time the boiled seafood was just as unfresh, stale, unseasoned, and low-quality as the rest of the buffet. It's looking like the era of casino buffets on the coast that are worth the drive and almost worth wreaking of cigarettes the whole way home is over with. The ones that have come back after the shutdown aren't trying anymore at all yet are charging considerably more than ever. read more

The casino is quite nice looking. The buffet area looked clean and very large. Not a lot of decoration, or anything interesting to look at. The waiting line was long when we got there, but moved along pretty quickly. The food selection was ok.... not as much as I thought there would be. The quality of the food was not great, in my opinion. It didn't taste bad, but it didn't taste great either. The boiled shrimp had a slimy feel to them, and the desserts weren't fresh tasting at all. The crab, however, was awesome! They had snow crab and dungeness, and they served it to you in buckets on the buffet line. Just pick up a bucket or two, and go . The waitress was very good about taking away the dirty plates, and was very friendly. The tables were just not conducive to having enough room for three people to eat though. What with the buckets of crab, the dirty plates, and the plate you were still eating on... it was just a mess. I'd probably go back again, but only because of the crab legs. read more

Great buffet for the price. Not crowded no chaos and everything we had was tasty We will be back

Awesome as usual! Crabs were seasoned perfectly!. Dessert table is amazing! One request would be to have boiled shrimp hot not served on ice! read more

The only thing Epic of this Buffet is disaster. We just had their Easter Sunday Brunch for $49.95 each. Have you ever had a dining experience that actually made you angry? I never had until today. The carving station had smoked sausage (not sure why that needed to be carved) roast turkey and Prime Rib. The Prime Rib was cooked perfectly with a nice seasoned crust. Unfortunately it was by far the toughest Prime Rib I have ever encountered. They apparently charge this price when they feature crawfish, crab legs, and Royal Reds, a locally caught shrimp. I had the Royal Reds at other places and found them to be firmer and sweeter than regular shrimp. Here, they were bland and barely warm. crab legs were so thin they didn't appear worth the effort so we passed. The crawfish was quite good and well seasoned. Other proteins included grilled ribeyes and leg of lamb, both in the steam trays and not surprisingly tough. Salad bar was fine, you can't really screw that up. I tried to serve up some peach cobbler but there was so much stuck to the spoon you couldn't succeed. The same result occurred with the blueberry cobbler. The reason I tried the blueberry as they had just brought out a new pan, unfortunately they put the cobbler encrusted spoon from the previous pan in the new one so all I could really do is move the stuff around without being able to capture some for my plate. After trying a few other items, I will give them credit for selection, I opted for a made-to-order omelette which was just fine. The staff was very warm and friendly, our server was prompt, courteous, and efficient. It's too bad the food didn't match the quality of the staff. I know not to normally expect menu quality at a buffet except with a price of $49.95 one should be able to walk away with something other than regret. I don't understand how any chef worth his muster could present this much disappoint and be proud of his effort. As this was our first visit to the property, other than a brief walk through, we had planned to spend the balance of the day in the casino but we figure we had already lost enough. We are vacationing in the area for a month but so absolutely no reason to return to this property. read more

Very disappointed! Our group went for the dinner AYCE crab legs. Everything I had tasted old and very generic. I didn't have high hopes going to a buffet but this was worse than expected. They did have a big variety which his why I gave 2 stars and not 1. read more

Epic Buffet - Snow crab legs royal reds, sirloin steak, prime Rib. Delicious - Buffets Near Me - Bay St. Louis, Mississippi

So we went to the Easter champagne brunch they offer. This place has some of the best seafood on the Gulf Coast I mean the whole coast from Texas to florida. Let see royal red shrimp were amazing seasoned to perfection. The dungeness crabs were so good no need for butter dip and more than you could eat in 3 lifetimes. Don't worry I tried. The rive yes we're being grilling one after the other the entire time I was there the au jus was a Great sause for the steak even though it probably didn't need it. I will go ever easter from now on. Also gonna go on my birthdays from now till death. Line was about 35 mins which was very fast considering they were putting a special event. I definitely recommend this place read more

Epic Buffet - Manda hard at work. What an amazing day. - Buffets Near Me - Bay St. Louis, Mississippi

The Seafood Buffet is a must! Unlimited lobsters are incredible! So are the unlimited snow crab legs! Although limited items during covid, most are delicious. The salad bar is fresh. The dessert bar includes hand served ice creams. The service is very professional and fast refills of great Coke products (not Pepsi). Open till 6 pm on Sunday, so come early! read more

First, I want to say the the staff at the buffet is extremely nice, prompt, and good at their job. So this review does not, in any way, reflect on the service we received. This buffet has gone seriously downhill. The food is either way over seasoned or bland. The veggies and fruits on the salad bar are limp and sad. The meats are overlooked and dry. The dessert is good though...but $20 for dessert is pretty steep. read more

We are at the casino and just left the Epic Buffet. The only thing Epic it is how over priced and rude the people were. We made a reservation so that we wouldn't have to wait. Normally if you make a reservation you notify someone you are there. I went to notify an older gentleman who had just been giving a group of employees a pep-talk. I asked if we should stand in a different line and he Very rudely said "no just go get in the line with everyone else" I asked "with the line so long, what if we are late for our reservation?" His response was "oh well" as he walked away. My Mother-in-law asked the cost of the buffet and the girl behind the counter said "$42.95". We normally bring my mother-in-law here and it has been wonderful before but now it won't be the next place we go. We did end up in the grill and had the fish basket. It was good and quick. Very disappointed read more

I loved this place! They offer both lobster and crab legs on their buffet. The gumbo was awesome. The fried chicken was seasoned well. I enjoyed the steak. It's worth the trip. Make reservations though. read more

What to expect it's a casino buffet. That being said it's awsome. The crab legs are great the service is great everything was really good I will be going back read more

Went there yesterday for the all you can eat crawfish and crab legs and it was horrible. Worst boiled crawfish I ever had: Dry, no juice, not seasoned well. The open tray they were in literally had no juice. It's like they used the previous days crawfish that they had already boiled and warmed them back up to serve again. Complete trash. And the crab legs weren't much better. First bucket was ok but second and third was garbage. It was like the legs were rubber. The shell were soft and then when you managed to tear them apart, the meat broke instead of it staying intact with a strip of meat when it's cooked right. I was done with that place after that. I don't know how these idiots don't know how to boil seafood. This is what we all know how to do down here. Well, I won't be going there anymore that's for certain and I advise anyone thinking about giving it a try, DO NOT unless you want to waste your money. read more

First, the service was fantastic. Everyone there is extremely nice and hospitable. But the food was awful! Don't waste $40 on this place. Super disappointed. The lobster was very green inside and tasted off. Shrimp was chewy and overcooked. Talked to the chef and she said lobster comes green when it's fresh. That is new to me! read more

Not the biggest buffet around but most definitely had some high quality items (for a buffet). Service is quick and speedy. You are limited to one seafood item per trip, but you could always circle back and grab another plate without issues. Knocking one star because the price went up and they no longer have lobsters in the buffet. read more

It's been so delicious since they reopened. Food has been so delicious consistent Keep up the good work. . Nicole you are so awesome as our server. Thank you read more

For the price we paid the food it was not all that great. The lobster was chewy, the fish was mediocre, and The atmosphere reminded me of a cruise ship. The only thing that was good was the snow crab legs. For 85 dollars y'all need to improve the food Quality. read more

We decided to eat here because we were camping at a local state park. We had my husbands cousin with us and this is what she wanted. The last time we are here the wait in line was over two hours. Needless to say, I was very excited that we were able to pay and be seated within minutes. Seafood, BBQ, Italian, Asian, American, the grill, a salad bar and a massive dessert counter. It was like all foods were included. The famous king crabs were insanely delicious. The dessert counter was not only beautiful but crazy tasty. Husbands cousin tried about nine different desserts. The waiter we had was very attentive and super polite. The lack of the fifth star was due to The Grill. The steaks were not wonderful and the cook was having issues with flame ups. The whole dining area was heavily smoked. Overall a good experience. read more

Although the line to get in was long- almost an hour. Well worth the wait! Our waitress was so accommodating not to mention she had several other tables. It not once felt like it. We never had to ask for refills or sat with plates or crabshells on our table or in the way. She was on it! Now to the good stuff- Not only did they have snow crab, dungeness crab, and ribeyes. They also have lobster, royal reds, and any other seafood imaginable. Huge salad bar with all the fixings. Pizza, country style foods like chicken, corn, potatoes, etc etc. Prime rib, mexican foods, thai foods, Chinese dishes, you name it- it is probably there. Along with a huge selection of desserts. Cupcakes, cheesecakes, ice cream sundaes, coblers, bread pudding, banana pudding, bananas foster, hot to order waffle cones just to name a few. For $30 you cannot beat the Hollywood Epic Buffet. That is exactly what this buffet is. Epic! read more

Epic Buffet - Epic is the correct name For this buffet. Delicious! - Buffets Near Me - Bay St. Louis, Mississippi

If I could give no stars I would.very dirty and smells like a ashtray.Worst casino buffet I have ever

the seafood: Crab & Lobster; wow ! my kids loved the pizza and incredible dessert thing going on. Tremendous staff ! thanks

Went there for the first time on a Thursday evening--I wanted to compare it with the Silver Slipper Buffet, which is the main buffet I eat on the coast. My wife is the gambler in the family, and her comps result in eating there a lot. The Dungeness crabs at the Slipper pack the place, but for most of this year, they have been way too salty. Unfortunately, Hollywood's buffet is just as bad or worse than the Slipper. They had no crabs the night we were there and we paid almost 30 bucks apiece--they had oysters on the half shell, but they looked like dark grey gum drops sitting in their shells, so I passed. The shrimp were overcooked, but the fried chicken was fresh and seasoned well. I was out in Vegas last October, and the casino buffets we ate at, Paris and Flamingo had much better food in my opinion. read more
