    I think this buffet is great. We would go there at least one evening every time we were staying at Winstar and I couldn't wait to get my variety of shrimp on my plate! They have several discounts you can use, and normally the line is not very long to get in. The staff was always very friendly and they catered to my dad who was in his upper 80s. They made a big deal about his birthday and even brought out a piece of cheesecake with a candle in it for him. And the ice cream man always made sure to give him an extra scoop of the strawberry that he loved. I'm not sure why anyone would leave a bad review because there's so much variety in the food there's bound to be something you like, and we always had a really good time there.

    Tables worn and chipped and this was a good table

    This used to be so much better! The tables are chipped and beat up. The wait staff was really sub par. The selection is great and the salad bar and desserts are delicious. The hot entrees have really gone down hill in regards to food quality and they are just lukewarm warm at best. Winstar was always know for great food, but something is certainly amiss now.

    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.

    The omelette here (delish!)
    Tony U.

    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.

    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.

    Full adult price for a 6-year-old.
    Tony T.

    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
    Brandon D.

    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 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 I sat down to eat the salad, it was as if I picked it from the garden myself. A mouthful of dirty lettuce. The coleslaw looks pretty too, but was bland. So many things were dried out! I thought the enchiladas was a dried up sweet potato casserole. All the meats were dried, the Mac n cheese was so dry it looked like uncooked noodles. The things that were decent: green beans and banana pudding. Worth going to get another plate, catfish and ribs. Margarine instead of butter. The honey packets are bricks And for a catfish place, there is no vinegar Or Tabasco... is this even the south? Maybe these good reviews are on the weekend, but this Wednesday church dinner night was a BUST. Peace out!

Well let me just tell you, from the minute we walked in and was greeted by the adorable blonde at the front with her big friendly smile, showing her cute braces, till we left, barely able to walk; we were so full, we really enjoyed our experience. The food is hot, fresh, and the ultimate Texas fare, I really loved the fried catfish, and wish I had a bigger stomach, cuz I could only try little bites of the various options, I liked everything! They also have delicious cobblers, the strawberry cobbler was a show stopper! They also have a menu, so if buffets aren't your jam, you're in luck!

The fried catfish was the best I've eaten in many years. The ribs were really good. The meat did slide off of the bone. The chicken legs were very well done and the fried okra was tasty but not very hot. The cherry cobbler was fresh, hot and a delight. We will be returning to Texas tomorrow evening and plan on trying them again. The price was reasonable and the service was really good.

I was honestly concerned about trying this place out and skeptical about the quality of food that would be served after reading some of the existing reviews. Unfortunately I feel similarly about what many have already said. They take payment at the entrance and then take you to your table. The server brings and refills your soft drinks/tea/coffee (which are included in the price of the meal), and you grab a new plate each time you want to take a trip up to the buffet area like usual. The restaurant was definitely not occupied by many guests at all and it was during peak lunch hours. The atmosphere wasn't anything to write home about, and in fact a little dark and dim, making it somewhat sad. The buffet area is split into several different stations including salads and cold food items, soup, Asian, Italian, American, BBQ and meats, noodles, and dessert. Most of the areas were manned by an employee who would take your plate and fill it with whatever item you want. This is not a buffet where you help and serve yourself. While there is a decent variety of food offered, the quality of the items were very subpar, reminding me of buffet chains back in the day. The BBQ meats were dry and tough to chew through. The fried fish was overdone and barely flaky. The soups were bland and watery. Grilled and steamed vegetable items were undercooked and not very flavorful. You get the idea. The most memorable items I fairly enjoyed on my plate were mashed potatoes with gravy and fried tofu strips. Oh, and I noticed there were a lot of tiny mosquitos flying around The, especially hovering over the salad area. The dessert bar appeared to have a few sugar-free items good for those who have to be cautious or prefer a zero sugar option, and the regular desserts were A-OK. Cake slices were plated individually, ice cream sundaes are made to order, and cookies are put out so you can take it yourself. The sundae was actually pretty good and I was able to top it off with a few of my favorite things. The service was alright and our server kept our drinks filled and took dirty plates off the table in no time. The gratuity has already been paid with the meal upon entrance, so unless you want to tip more you can. All in all, it is not worth time or money unless you plan to stay at the casino to play for a long time and need something to keep your hunger pangs away, or if you're a member who has earned a free meal.

We walked around about 4 hours, even tho our room was ready when we arrived. Dropped our bags and left. We were on the 9th floor. Nice room and decent view. The casino is gigantic! So many games, slots and table games. There is a movie theater , concert venue, bowling alley, arcade, several restaurants and bars and a food court. We didn't make it to the pool but got wristbands in case we had time. Only there for 1 night. Casino: slots were tight but I played for most of the night on various blackjack and roulette games. My winnings were steady. There are plenty of machines. The only negative is while you are playing, bar service is pretty much nonexistent. I saw waitresses walking around the tables but not once at the machines and we were all over. Get your own drinks at a bar or cart before sitting or prepare to get up to get them. Food: we ate at Smashburger for lunch. I really enjoyed my burger and fries. They were smash fries with a nice sauce on them and truffle oil. The burger was flavorful. I got a caramel Cinnabon. Another great treat. For dinner we went to the seafood buffet. It was 55.00 each and we were excited. Every.single.thing was overcooked. Fried fish, shrimp, chicken and snow crabs, all overcooked so hard I couldn't finish one bite of any of them. That bad. The etouffee was good but the rice was crispy. I immediately called for the manager. She apologized profusely and offered a full refund. Yeah we couldn't eat there. Great service and I hope they took the feedback and made changes. Finally, I ate velvet taco and hubby had chicken strips from the hot chicken place , good late night eats on both fronts. Checkout time on Sunday arrived too fast but we got packed up to hit the road and got our free soft drinks to go. Got the valet validated and on our way. Excellent stay and we will go back. You do not have to leave once you get there.
