I need the contact information for whoever is in charge of the pizza section. Specifically, the pepperoni pizza. That pizza is TOP TIER. At this point, I literally come here just for the pizza. I don't know what kind of spell y'all are casting on these slices, but I'm getting a little tired of paying $50 just to satisfy a pizza addiction I did not ask for. Please give the chef a raise...or give me the recipe. Either works. Also, while I have your attention: can we get some more seafood options? I can't survive on pepperoni pizza alone. Well, I can, but I shouldn't. Thanks. read more

Please do not spend your money here I came with my girlfriend to this buffet under the impression that the food was going to be immaculate just off the photos, I spent 85 dollars between for the both of us, they had a wide variety of food from international to American and to be fair the presentation was very nice looking, but that's where it ended, a few things to expect, your server will not be attentive to you, I had to ask for my server to get my drinks and we didn't get a refill until the end of our experience when I had to ask again, the food was incredibly mediocre, objectively speaking most of the meat was flavorless with no seasonings, ribs were dry and dusty, fish was completely missing any seasonings what so ever, everything tasted cheap and soulless, I tried just about everything and almost every time i left my plate full of food, I genuinely could not believe how mediocre everything was for being such a nice looking buffet, I asked around and the sentiment held true for everyone else I asked, I'm writing this two hours after leaving, to make things worse me and my girlfriend had to throw up the second we got home most probably from the crawfish they had sitting out there, I regret coming here and eating and I recommend anyone to consider eating somewhere else, I don't write reviews ever but I had to because of how unbelievably let down I am from this, I am angry but most of all disappointed that I came here read more

Fresh Harvest Buffet - Line to get in - Buffets Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Fresh Harvest Buffet is always a fun stop when they run their special promotions, and tonight's deal of three lobster tails per person made it especially worth it! The lobster was excellent as usual definitely the highlight of the meal and consistently one of the best reasons to come here. While some dishes on the buffet can be a little bland depending on what you choose, there are several favorites we always look forward to: the smashed potatoes, fresh salad bar, rice dishes, and the steak station, where you can request your steak cooked medium rare for a fresher, more flavorful cut. The dessert selection is also a strong finish, with plenty of tasty options to end the meal on a sweet note. Overall, Fresh Harvest Buffet is a great choice when you want variety, especially when they have seafood promotions like this one! read more

The greatest buffet in the World! Right here at the Hard Rock Casino in Tampa Bay! It went away for a few years after covid and it came back stronger than ever! This place is beyond amazing. It's like having food from every country in the world in one place. Great things do come with great prices however so be prepared. The cheapest is lunch for $35/person. July 4th is advertising at $60. They have a Lobster day on Thursday. The dessert here is even top shelf. Sugar free and gluten free options as well. Oh and they even have chef's cook some things and prepare right in front of you. Even if you arent a hard rock kind of person, it is well worth stopping in just for this read more

Fresh Harvest Buffet - seafood platter - Buffets Near Me - Tampa, Florida

We visited Fresh Harvest Buffet at the Hard Rock Casino for their Wednesday Night Lobster and overall had a great experience. The weekday buffet price is about $40, and for an additional $20, you get three full-size lobster tails. For those saying that it's not all-you-can-eat lobster it clearly states that on their website. A heads-up: they don't take reservations. We had a party of six, and my brother arrived early to try to reserve a table, but they wouldn't seat anyone until the entire party was present. After we finished dinner around 8pm, we noticed a long line wrapped around outside, yet half the tables inside were empty. That said, the lobster tails were delicious, and the buffet selection was plentiful. There were a variety of stations, including Asian cuisine, Italian, American, and a full dessert bar. My favorites were the clam chowder , beef quesadillas , fresh apple pie, and the seafood pasta. There's also a nice station near the front where they steam your shrimp and lobster tails fresh, which was a great touch. Overall we enjoyed the food and thought the Lobster option offered good value, quality, and variety. We left full and satisfied and would return again. read more

The Asian bar was great with both steamed and fried dumplings, as well as the fried rice and Mongolian Beef. If you like seafood and/ Or Sushi try the Raw Bar and Sushi Bar! The Latin Var has great build your own tacos with freshly grilled tortillas with your choice of meat. The mini empanadas were great. The steak was flavorful but a little tough. Chicken was dark meat so not my thing. The Italian/ Pizza bar wasn't really my taste profile . The Stromboli was very good. The dessert bar has so many options. read more

Heard good things about this place and was pretty disappointed. The best thing I can say about it is that they have options. The leg up it has on other buffets is the variety of cuisine. You can get fried rice, dumplings, tamales, croquetas, NY steak, brisket, mashed potatoes, pesto pasta, chicken picatta. The bad thing....its all pretty bland. Lacking not only in salt, also in flavor, and somehow not even as fresh as any Chinese buffet I've been to. They're letting everything die under the heat lamps and with the traffic in this place you'd think they could freshen up what's out there. Service was decent. Seemed in the weeds for us so we waited for some things a bit but polite and professional. Wouldn't go back for the price. PS seafood section on Wednesday only had shrimp and mussels (you can add 3 lobster tails for $20). My brother was pretty disappointed there was no other seafood available. read more

We were super hungry after our time at the spa and was super disappointed. The quality here seems to take a downturn after its renovation. We first waited in a long line to get seated.Our server took a long time to check up on us and rarely refilled our drinks. I wishes the raw bar had more items and most of the food was out or too bland like the pasta. The meat was also too overcooked or dry. I was so looking forward to this place after it got renovated. We did like their dessert and ice cream but that is it. We paid so much so its a super let down. I would eat somewhere else after this experience. read more

The all you can eat lobster isn't all you can eat, it's basically false advertisement. You get three lobster tails and that's it, but they advertise it otherwise which isn't cool. The overall buffet food is okay, nothing spectacular, looks better than it tastes. The ambiance is nice and service is good. read more

The food was pretty good, but the pancakes for some reason were crunchy and the French toast was cold. Other issue was the Father's Day menu listed Filet mignon and Wagyu burger sliders and they were nowhere to be found at the buffet. When I asked the server where those items were she said they were for dinner and not for the brunch buffet. I told her the menu out front and online mentions those 2 items being apart of the brunch. She just said sorry and that was it. Not a great way for that situation to be handled. read more

Steamed rice is located next to ice cream so did not find it until end of Meal. Very small crab legs Very high priced and lobster tail is additional 8.00. Water on floor in several places was worried grandfather would slip and fall. Raining so couldn't help but wonder if roof was leaking is the reason staff never wiped it up. Not much seasoning or taste to anything other than ginger or mouth was to numb from over whelming ginger. Poor selections. Brags as seafood but mini crab legs, ginger drowned clams and parts of lobster body with coating and no lobster meat, shrimp so rubbery it could be used as spare tire. Honesty went because said they had egg custard. It's pretty hard to mess up an egg custard but they perfected making one that was not close to a custard at all read more

We are not buffet people. Don't get me wrong, the thought of a going to a buffet is awesome because you get to eat lots of different foods. We just don't eat enough to make it worth the money. We dined here on Saturday and Sunday night. We did have reservations at the steak house but decided to cancel and dine at the buffet a second time because we were happy with Saturday nights dinner. It was $50 per person but as people who don't like going to buffets I have to admit this one was worth it, especially for a casino buffet. All the dishes I tried were good and had flavor. Normally when I go to a casino buffet it's like the chefs at the buffet are like failed culinary students or something. Either that or they make the food mediocre so you don't eat a lot. I had crab cakes, crab and asparagus soup, which had real crab, not the imitation crab meat. The salmon was even good. We had other items but I couldn't remember the actual names of all of them. I think this place is better than the noodle bar that is located in the casino. The nice thing is you are in an out and you don't have to wait for your food. The servers were attentive and the place was clean. I would recommend this buffet. You get your money's worth. read more

Not worth it. Was left without drink refills for 30 min. Asked another server for assistance and was told, "I ain't your server" So I go to drink station and get a refill. Now im told, "F*** you" Im just looking for a drink at this point. Manager Jose heard this whole thing and he's helpless. Just go somewhere else. read more

Fresh Harvest Buffet Plate 1 Food Me - 4.8/5 Mixed fried rice, grilled veggies, veggie roll, shrimp tempura roll, Cali roll. The veggies needed a little salt, the sushi were all good, and the mixed rice was done nicely! Food Mom - 5/5 Steak, shrimp tempura, some sort of little bowl of rice Food Dad - 5/5 oxtail, some sort of little bowl of rice, mixed rice, sushi Plate 2 Me - 4.5/5 I had pizza and garlic knots. Pizza was greasy, as expected from a buffet pizza. Garlic knots were hard on the bottom, but that's my only complaint. Mom - 5/5 idk what she had, but she loved it Dad - 5/5 idk what he had, but he loved it Food Overall - 4.8/5 ---------------------------------------------- Desserts Me - 3.5/5 Pineapple upside down cake, dirt cup, eclair. I was okay with the pineapple cake. I didn't like the pineapple, but the cake itself was good. The dirt cup was okay, too. I couldn't really taste anything, so not good, not bad. I was NOT a fan of the eclair. The middle cream thing was just not for me. Mom - 3/5 Dirt cup, flan, carrot cupcake, bread pudding, lemon blueberry pudding. Her highlight was the flan. She destroyed it. Dad - 5/5 Pineapple upside down cake, eclair, lemon blueberry pudding, tiramisu, a Danish of some kind. He liked the pineapple cake, but wished their was brown sugar. Loved the eclair. He loved the pudding, too. Desserts Overall - 3.8/5 ---------------------------------------------- Drinks Me - 5/5 just cola Both got mimosas Drinks Mom - 5/5 strawberry Mimosa Drinks Dad - 4/5 pineapple mimosa, he would've liked it more pineapple-y Drink Overall - 4.6/5 ---------------------------------------------- Delivery Time - N/A It's a buffet; you serve yourself. ---------------------------------------------- Waitress, Amanda, bun and glasses - 5/5 She made sure to check on her tables as needed. She didn't really need to check in often as, again, it's a buffet. You do plenty of the work yourself. ---------------------------------------------- We went pretty early for the weekend brunch, so the ambiance was pretty quiet, but relaxed and chatty. ---------------------------------------------- Overall Experience - 4.5/5 read more

I have mixed review because of the sheer time it takes to get a table. It's a bit misleading for your first time if you don't know that there are two lines, one to pay and one to wait for a table. We got half price for our first time and went on a Wednesday lobster night. The lobsters were pretty good, no complaints, the rest of the food wasn't bad but nothing spectacular. I'd return again for half price, but I don't think it's worth full price. Hard Rock offers too many deals for the buffet to justify paying full price. I will also add that once we got a table the waitress we had was so nice and attentive. read more

Service was good but the taste and quality was not. Don't expect flavors or level of quality of the old days here. I believe they know they have no competition in the area and really do not have to compete at a high level. The first impression is bad as you have to battle the smoke filled casino all the way to half of the buffet area. They need to fix the ventilation system for smokers, Vegas casinos have no problems ventilating smoking areas. I personally would not go back I had trouble finishing most of the items off of this buffet. I felt like they would hover over you at the shrimp area as if this was the best item option in the buffet but even that was pretty average. Surprisingly for me the only thing that tasted decent was the meatballs. Most of the items were cold or not kept hot enough. All dinner bread/ rolls were cold. read more

After nearly five years the buffet at HardRock is back. What changed? Pricing - for dinner on a Sunday, it's $55, you'll save $5 with a players card. There weren't crab legs, but prime rib and shrimp. Variety- the Asian station was paired down since the shutdown, there were only two items. Otherwise, it's basically the same layout as before, with Italian, American, and middle eastern options. Best items - the prime rib was great for a buffet as were the grilled chicken skewers. Worst items - avoid the sushi, the salad bar was underwhelming, and the seafood station could have had more variety. Gluten free/vegetarian - for gluten free options they have cookies, salad, and grilled items. Vegetarian items were primarily the pizza and salad bar. The service was very strong for a buffet, my server was fast, refilled my drinks, and checked on my table several times. Final impression- It's not worth $50+ for dinner, but some items, especially the prime rib were surprisingly good. read more

People who was in charge very rude. Waited too long to be seated. Too many tables were empty People was just not trained

I would like to take the time to thank and recognize the staff for the always amazing friendly hospitality and service. Jacob Gurlides, (Manager), Thomas Stiehler (Asst Manager) have clearly set high standards so that each patron is anxious to return time and time again. I have encountered more routinely on my at least 10th visit now Mr. Thomas Stiehler who always takes the time to come say hello when ever he recognizes myself or my lady's presence. He along with the staff are intentional on each visit to extend service with a welcoming attitude and smile. Now the food everyone is an amazing value mixed with a truly enjoyable dining experience found in the Hard Rock Casino, Tampa FL. The buffet is so varied from seafood, to fresh grilled steak that so juicy and tender, to the pasta bar, to the desserts and more. Below are a few pictures that should give a better understanding for the frequent returns we make. Thank you everyone for the motivation to return as often as we do read more

Fresh Harvest Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Shocked that Fresh Harvest doesn't have a higher rating. We've been twice since they reopened and it's been incredible. I was so pleased that the food was a bit different each time, while there are so staples like the raw bar and Asian food section. The carving stations at the back are amazing. First time they had brisket and the second time the sausage and roast was incredible. There is a bit of a wait but it's worth it once you get inside. If you have Icon X status you get to skip which we did the second time when we took my in laws. It was my mother in law's birthday and the staff brought her a dessert with a candle and sang to her. Everything is clean and the servers clean up the tables quickly in between your meals. The atmosphere is lively but not loud of chaotic. I loved the Latin and Middle Eastern options and the dessert area is top notch. read more

We were in town and wanted to try out the buffet inside hard rock the price per person come out to around $50 a person. Honestly, it's not worth it for this price without any crab legs or lobsters if you go on a Wednesday it's lobster day but you have to pay an extra $20 and you can get up to three lobsters each. The dinner price for Wednesday is cheaper I believe. As far as taste goes, the food is not bad. They have steam muscles and clams. We went on a weekend evening. If you sign up for their rewards card, you can get 50% off the buffet and that coupon can last to the end of the year. We didn't know since we ate first before we sign up. I think for the value of the food if the price were in the $35 range it would make more sense unless they add crab legs. read more

Some of the food are too salty , the raw seafood area should use the glass or plastic make a very cold environment to preserve the raw seafood especially those salmon, tuna.... this restaurant didn't do anything for it. It's very dangerous for the customers to get sick because they are just sit in top of the iceberg. That's not enough at all. Especially we are at the warm restaurant, those seafood will expose into the warm restaurant very quickly and the seafood turned bad . The first time I went there and ate the raw salmon, I quickly spilt out because it was not fresh at all. And that night I got sick, got diarrhea. The 2nd time I went there and I told the owner, he disagreed and later just went away. I was very disappointed but I still went to tell the raw seafood chief about this terrible things and tried my best to explain to him. Later he agreed with me, he told me that he will tell the owner about this serious situation. I have not went to this restaurant again yet. Hopefully they did do something about this very important thing. . read more

Last night some friends and I were at the Hard Rock casino and decided to eat at the Harvest Buffet. WOW, what a big disappointment. The selection was so basic and nothing special. I thought I would try one of the sirloin steaks, over cooked and no taste. Then on to the sushi area, lots of eice in the rool and hardly any fish. Lots of plain vegetables like you would find at the simple country buffet and not seasoned. I was going to try some pasta bolognese, but it was all dry. I did try the pizza ans it was passable. The lobster bisque was my only pleasure, it was fairly good. The salad bar was OK, just some basics. I walked around the buffet several times trying to see something special to try, not happening. Was time for desserts and they looked like a mass production. All in all, they need to go back to the wonderful buffet they has before they closed down a couple of years ago. Needless to say I wont be going back. I will say the service was good and the atmosphere nice. read more

Great food. However, the lobster should be all you can eat instead paying for only 3 pieces. Three pieces are not enough for 6 oz lobster tail. I don't mind paying more but it should be all you can eat lobster too. I love their Authentic Asian noodles. I went there for lunch. Wonder what dinner would be like. read more
