    Thursday night crab night.....well be prepared for a long line. We even tried to get there early and still had to wait in line for about an hour. It does seem to move fast and whether you are in the higher card level side or the regular side it's still a wait. The crab can be hit or miss plate to plate, but the service there once you get in and at a table is pretty efficient. I'm going to put a plug here and say that the wait staff works hard and I was quite surprised at how many people don't leave anything for them. Be better folks! They're trying to make a living and the worst seem to be the people who get the crab dinner for free...LOL.... I would say it's definitely busy but once at a table it really doesn't seem too crowded. I didn't feel Iike I was packed in like a sardine as the dining area is spacious and still in good shape. I'm not one for wasting stomach space for things other than crab, but I did venture a bit and try a few things. I thought the dumplings were pretty good with a very flavorful dipping sauce. They also have prime rib, meat loaf, chicken fried steak which all turned out to be better than average. I thought a pleasant surprise was the stuffed pasta shell on the far end in the Italian area. For sure there are a few things that don't look great, it's a buffet. But if there's someone in the party that won't eat their value in crab, they can certainly make it up in other areas. I thought the hotel room we stayed in was also nice and accessible but that is for another review. Worth a visit if you like the crab at $40. Most people get a $10 off coupon in the mail and then a few dollars at least accumulated on their cards for game play.

    Went to casino on a Saturday night. They have american, italian, mexican, chinese and a lot of desserts. Salad and soup selection was good too. It was not crowded and food quality was acceptable. I would give it a 3.5 but since you cannot give .5 ratings giving it a 4.

    The omelette here (delish!)

    Located at Winstar Casino, paid a visit here after a $52 winning black jack session. Cost of the Sunday Brunch Buffet? After tax and tip? Around $50. So there are two lines to enter this buffet. Pay first, then a greeter will walk you to your booth and take a beverage order. Asked for coffee and OJ and they give you a plate to fill it up with as much as possible. Insider tip for the Brunch Buffet: go straight to the omelette station. There, a cook will customize your omelette (see pic of mine). My omelette had jalapeños, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, spinach, ham and bacon pieces, and some cheese. It was awesome and huge!!! After that, I was close to full but managed a small slice of brisket, one fried chicken thigh, salad with beets, biscuit and some shrimp. By then, I was too full to eat anymore. There were other stations including Chinese food, a huge dessert station and a pancake and waffle station. But with what I ate, I was already good. All the staff and food preparers were super friendly, reliable and sincere. All in all, a fun experience.

    Full adult price for a 6-year-old.

    Full price for 6 year old. And no discount for 6 year old unless she has a players card. How would she have a players card? Terrible price for children.

    Butter pecan and strawberry icecream

    I was at winstar to try the buffet. They had snow crabs available and my family wanted to take advantage of it. The line to enter the buffet starts very early and you'll be waiting for a bit, but we got in pretty fast. The buffet selection is hugeeee, they have Italian, seafood, dessert, Mexican, American, etc. But of course we all got snow crab. I'm a bit inexperienced at opening them but they tasted so good with that butter. They also have chilled lobster claws, which were pretty good too. I tried some of their other food but I understand why people stay away from it. Their icecream here is the second best thing after their snow crab. That butter pecan flavor was NUTS (get it?), the strawberry flavor was so good as well. I would only come here on a day where they have snow crab, because if they don't, this buffet isn't worth the it.

    I actually expected a lot more from the buffet at the casino. The casino seems to do everything big so I thought the food at the buffet would be unbelievable. Only the price was! lol.. the food is what I would have expected at a local buffet.

    The management at this buffet must be lacking common sense. How is it so difficult is to listen to customers? They complain over and over and nothing is done. So my last visit I ate my entire meal with never getting my drink. I bring it to the staff's attention and I get excuses. Really. I can't believe they expect tips when the only job they have is bring my drink. Why not just put in self service drink machines. Then the BUS BOYS can just do that. Why can't they trim the brisket. The brisket? Sometimes all I get is a slab of fat, no meat. I bring it to the staffs attention and they tell me sorry nothing we can do would you like another piece. NO I don't need hunks of lard. The fruit is located next to cold shrimp which finds its way in the fruit yuck. The fruit is always old and mushy. I understand they like to have special needs folks working but perhaps they may be better suited to washing dishes or something else. A total waste of money! I do not get any free buffets no matter how much money I donate to the poor Indians. Good luck patrons.

    I heard they are no longer serving King Crab. Is it true?

    Yes, sadly it's true. They now serve what they call Surf and Truf. It's steak and grilled shrimps. Both are very good but they can't seem to find a way to keep them hot. All food there is cold. Not worth the trip.

    Do they have the crab legs on Friday and Saturday or just on Fridays?

    They ate no longer serving crab legs they stopped doing them in August of 2018 they have been talking about bringing them back but with the price of crab being at the highest right now it wont be anytime soon

    When my dad was getting up in age and unable to go to Las Vegas any longer, we started making trips…read morein the car to Winstar. It's not Las Vegas, but it is a great substitute! We learned not to show up at check in time because the lines can get a little long. We would go during the week when we had that option because it's way less crowded. Once you get a Winstar card, they send you all kinds of deals to save money and to use for gambling. For some reason, my dad was the only one that would receive a postcard in the mail for a free gift, so we would always get in line and claim that! The crowd is a little bit older and in some ways I really enjoyed that. I love their slot machines and they do offer free soft drinks and coffee while you are gambling. You're not allowed to take drinks onto the casino floor so be sure to have some available in your room. One great benefit for older folks is that they have free wheelchairs available at most of the entrances. You just pick one up on your way in and can use it for your stay, then just leave it at the door when you leave. And if there aren't any available, the staff is usually very helpful in finding one for you. It's really nice not having to load up a wheelchair in a vehicle when you make a trip to Winstar. And if you prefer a scooter, there are several companies that will deliver it right to the hotel. We tried several of the restaurants in the casino and our favorite was the fish and chips. They have quite a variety of food places throughout the casino. They also have a large variety of slot machines, from the newest to the oldest. And their casino is huge and very nicely decorated, especially the newer parts. I'm looking forward to my next trip there!

There was a hibachi station where you could choose meats like thin beef, chicken, and pork, along with veggies, spices, and sauces. It was nice since i wanted to get my protein up without all the oil lol. Now I don't know if the meats are very fresh, but the station was cold so that's good. The hot foods I had were also pretty good and warm for buffet. My favorite was the pan fried dumplings, but again not the best obviously. In regards to the sushi, I didn't even wanna touch the raw nigiri for my own safety; salmon had no visible fat lines, and tuna didn't look appetizing at all, almost grey. I got some pieces of the rolls, unagi, and inari and those were actually better than i expected. The rolls are pretty close to tokyo one in plano, or osaka in addison. The inari was nice and sweet, but the unagi was kind of just getting carried by the sauce lol. Service wasn't the best, got one refill the entire time, and was fasting that day. The place is decently clean and nothing to really complain about there. Overall for a big easy family outing, not bad, but would not eat here again myself

Which they knew because we got free dessert for the birthdays which was great. But the food was very disappointing. One of our salads quality of lettuce was wilted and starting to discolor. The roquefort dressing was really good. The steaks came out how we ordered it, however on the third bite, they were already cold. The 5oz filet, my first bite was excessively fatty and chewy. The crab cake, that came with the 5oz filet was overdone. The lobster Mac and cheese also did not have much of a lobster flavor or meat. There was also no information on the iPad given to us about the mickey mantle old fashioned (but it was really good). We were so looking forward to this meal all day. We didn't want to make a scene when we were there. We wanted to have good vibes for the rest of the night (which we did because we won $1900). Drinks were the best part of the meal. But we were over all disappointed, because we were celebrating our birthdays. I tried sending them a personal message through OpenTable in hopes management would get back to us just to acknowledge our disappointment. However we have not heard from them (7 days as of posting this). So now I am using yelp.
