Fantastic lobster and crab legs
Olivia G.

So we decided to try the Koto buffet today and I was excited to try the lobster and the crab legs! So crab legs were amazing so was the lobster! Very tasty and flavorful and really good size and all you can eat like what can you say about that? That's amazing. I tried the pizza as well because I just love pizza and it was cool. I liked it. oh I also tried the fried shrimp and I also like that. They also had some ribeye steak was very fresh and tasty and some mashed potatoes because you know you're gonna have some mashed potatoes right. So I do recommend this Buffet. I just feel like I was just everywhere lol grabbing everything that I liked, so maybe just next time I might just stick with like seafood or like pizza and salad, but I liked it and it was nice and clean and the waiters or the people that walked around to pick up the food after you were done. We're really nice and keep walking around picking up all the food trays that people didn't eat or once they were done eating they would pick it up right away, so it was nice not to have a big messy table..

Shrimp scampi
Melissa S.

We had dinner her tonight, Sunday, March 1, 2026. We read in reviews and then on their website that reservations are a must and you should make them at least a day in advance. Well, we didn't plan on coming here that far in advance so we made same day reservations and there was no issue. We made them for 5:30 pm which meant we needed to leave the house at 4pm. No problem. Before we set off for our journey I went on Yelp and read many of the reviews and looked at lots of pictures so I knew what to expect. And I wanted to Conquer the buffet as best as I could with my new found knowledge. The Sunday Buffet is from 4-8pm and it's $40, this is not a seafood buffet. Those are on Friday and Saturday Evening and they are 4-10 pm and are $59 dollars. All of these prices are per person. We went to the Kings game around a week ago and our section won free buffet coupons so we were all set. My husband said there was no way he'd go willingly and pay $40 per person for a buffet. So, good thing we had the coupons or we wouldn't be able to experience this. I read that they have a shrimp scampi made to order portion of the buffet and that is what we hit first. They also have scallops. I got them, but they tasted fishy so I didn't eat that part of the dish. Out of the whole buffet this shrimp scampi part was the best. I had mine with: raw shrimp, they cooked it on the spot, garlic, Parmesan cheese, spinach, mushrooms, red bell peppers, purple onions, scampi sauce and pasta. Wow!!! Was that fabulous. Everything from there on out was a let down. The prime was a 0 our of 5. It had no flavor unless you used the horseradish and I'm not a big horseradish fan. I ate it because it was on my plate, but regretted getting it. I really had such high hopes. The red mashed potatoes was delish. The miso salmon wasn't fishy tasting so that was a big plus, but I found it a bit overcooked. I did like the sauce on it. I reccomend the salmon and red mashed potatoes. The garlic cauliflower was tasty as it was a the only vegetable I had not counting the spinach in the shrimp scampi. It was a bit on the dried out side. For dessert I had the bread pudding and cobbler. The cobbler won out by far. I believe it had apples, peaches, and strawberries in it. And that sums up what I had. For the included drinks they had a soda machine that included mug root beer for the win. It also dispensed cranberry and orange juice. For hot drinks they had hot water, but no tea bags, reg coffee and decaf. I stuck with water, but my husband had the Sierra Mist and said it was good and fizzy, which is a huge plus in his book. Each table is given a card to let the bussing crew know if you are done eating or not. If you are still eating turn the blue side up that says still enjoying our meal, thank you. For hygiene purposes they ask that you use a new plate every time you go up to the buffet. If you stack your plates when you are done with them at the edge of the table they will graciously take them for you. They were really on the ball and deserved a hearty tip. For a Sunday at dinner time we were surprised that it wasn't busier, at the same time it was nice to just have a steady stream of people and for it not to be packed. We waited for maybe 5 people in-front of us to get to the shrimp scampi station and when I went back there was no line so it ebb and flows. There were lots of empty tables and no real congestion at the buffet. There were so many things to choose from: Fried Chicken, a carving station that had roast beef and turkey, Miso Salmon, poached fish in the Asian section, clams and mussels, pork ribs, steak medallions, a full salad bar and bread bar, collar greens, shrimp and grits, a whole Asian section and Mexican station including pozole, pizza, fried shrimp, eat and peel shrimp, fresh fruit. Then there was the whole dessert section- sugar free jello, cookies, carrot cake cupcakes and reg cupcakes, cheesecake, Boston cream pie, lemon meringue, rice pudding, cherry pie, pecan pie, bread pudding and hot cobbler, and don't forget the soft serve ice cream with toppings. Would I come back and pay $40 for the buffet, probably not, but we enjoyed our time there and were thankful for a good meal.

Omelette from their Omelette Action Station. A+

SUNDAY BRUNCH, 10AM-3PM. $40.00 FOR AN ADULT, WORTH IT! WOW just WOW for a local casino buffet! We opted for a booth next to the window in this well lit space. The Salad Bar had fresh ingredients such as chopped beets, slivered red onions, cherry tomatoes plus more and different salad dressings such as ranch, bleu cheese, Italian, and others. I enjoyed seeing a complete Salmon Lox Bagel area with small bagels, slivered red onions, capers, and cream cheese. So good! The Omelette Station is my favorite part of a breakfast/ brunch because I love omelettes. You can fill it with diced bell peppers, bacon pieces, diced ham, spinach, cheese, garlic, jalapeños, tomatoes, spinach, olives, and/ or mushrooms. The person even asked if I'd like salt and pepper and I said HECK YEAH! Sprinkle it on! It was big and filling. The French Toast was really good! Dusted with a bit of powdered sugar, it satisfied my sweet craving. There is also other breakfast items such as bacon, sausage, pancakes, hash browns (like the McDonalds ones), and more. During this time, there is also a carving station that includes Prime Rib. I asked for a thin slice of medium rare and it was perfect alongside au ju and cream horseradish. The Mac n Cheese is not the elevated type of one but good. I got a second serving. The Mexican Station with Chips, Pico De Gallo, Sour Cream, Chopped Cilantro, Medium Salsa, and more was good too! THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH TO LIST! I wasn't even able to try everything since there is just so much. The Deserts and Fruits is a bit lacking. But hey! I rather have more main options hahaha The busboy was quick with clearing the tables and you do not have to wait for drinks since you can get water, coffee, and sodas at a self-service area. Will be back to try out their Lobster and Crab Dinner!

Crab and lobster buffet

It's located inside the Redhawk Casino on the lower level. We made a reservation for 18 people and the whole party has to be there in order for you to be seated. I recommend standing in line before that because they start counting your hour and a half from your reservation time even though we were stuck in line for 20 minutes. They also automatically add an 18% tip to your bill because we were part of the large reservation. They have an extensive salad bar, Asian area, crab and lobster area, carving station, Mexican, American, Italian, and of course a dessert station with soft serve ice cream. I didn't see this at the beginning but near the dessert area, there is someone who makes pasta to your liking. As for drinks, they said there was a happy hour ended at 6 PM. If you want drinks, you get it yourself. I was kind of confused as to the tip because the workers were not around when we needed them. I seen one just collecting plates from our table. Overall, it is a good value for the crab and lobster night.

Fresh fruit

I came back last night (Wednesday) because it was so amazing on Easter and it's pretty close to home, you also can't beat the dinner prices on Wednesday night. A couple things: it was definitely not as packed which was nice! The selection was a lot more seldom which I understand it not being a holiday, but some of the food I could have sworn was from Sunday (the fruit lost color and was gross, the cobbler dessert had shells in it) I will say the catfish was DELICIOUS!! What I liked was even doing a lap with the catfish on my plate back to my table it was still piping hot! They do clean your dishes really quickly once you're done with them which I still love. My main concern and I would love to get in contact with someone about this- Last night was a Pho station which they have on Wednesday's, I really came for THAT! Huge anticipation. It's absolutely delicious but to a fault. Unfortunately if you don't eat meat (vegan or vegetarian) they will still put your noodles in the same meat broth. The person before me got pork, and when it was my turn I said no meat and it went into the same pot, when I got back to my table I was picking meat out of my pho. I think it would be considerate to have a separate pot with vegetable broth and possibly even like shrimp for those of us who don't eat meat or are vegetarian / pescatarian. Just something to be a little more considerate of. Otherwise everything was great! The dessert could have been fresher some of the cupcakes were hard and there was a fly on one of the desserts, maybe be more mindful like you are on holidays!

Second time arriving to this Buffett. I prefer the lobster and seafood at this AYCE compared to the other casinos. Spacious eating areas. The staff do a decent job collecting plates and clearing table space for new plates. I like the variety they offer and the self serve stations.

Time to grub!!
Annie X.

The best Lobster Buffet!!! My friend and I come here almost once a month ... we love seafood and here is the best place (Friday & Saturdays). There are plenty of dishes to choose from. Be careful though, because you can get full real quick. Everything stay refilling! Eat and play!

Beer clams (recommend) and oysters (pass)
Tien D.

I went with some girlfriends for the weekend seafood buffet. It was a good thing we had reservations because it was crowded even at 5:30 so reservations definitely recommended. I concentrated on the seafood. You get a whole lobster not just the tail so be ready to get messy. Luckily they had wipes when we asked for it. The snow crab is served warm with butter available. My first batch was overly salty but the next two rounds were sweet and delicious. I also tried the baked oysters but they were dry and the bacon overpowered any seafood flavor. The beer clams were fantastic but I like clams. They were buttery and garlicky with just a hint of the beer flavor. My last recommendation is the prime rib. Although I only had a thin slice, it was juicy, tender and perfectly medium rare. Drinks were self serve and the come by to clear your trash bucket pretty often. It was worth the $59.99 price (no tax). I will definitely come back next time I need a seafood fix.

AYCE lobster buffet $59 weekends only
Jessica N.

We made a road trip to Red Hawk to specifically eat at the buffet. Reservations are available which I made about 2 weeks ahead. The lobster buffet is only available on Friday and Saturday. For $59 it is an amazing deal. They also have crab legs, prime rib, and plenty of other hot stations to get your money's worth. Even poke and galbi. They have a salad bar and dessert station. Soft drinks, water, and coffee are all self serve. The service was also very good, our waitress constantly emptied our shell bucket. Overall I was extremely impressed with the quality and taste. I will definitely be back again.

Booked a reservation for 2 the weekend before Veteran's day. This buffet is a little on the more expensive side for what it offers. Service was okay; they had people clearing our plates here and there but that was about it. There's crab and lobster and prime rib on Saturday dinners for $60 pp which is more than how much I felt it was worth. The crab and lobster were super salty but I enjoyed the lobster a lot more. The crab didn't have the main claws, just the skinny ones and they were very difficult to peel. The prime rib was a little overcooked but not too bad. They also don't have paper napkins nor did they offer wipes. We had to wipe out hands with only the cloth napkin we were seated with. The drinks are self serve so that was very convenient. The poke wasn't really fresh and neither was the sushi. The salad bar was one of their better options with fresh ingredients for you to make your own salad. They don't have your usual ice cream/gelato bar; just the machine froyo that you serve yourself. Overall, we felt this was rather pricey and do not think we'll be back unless we had a free buffet offer which we do sometimes.

Round One!

It has been two years since we were here for Friday night Lobster. We came to celebrate my birthday. I have been craving crab and lobster and thought it was a good time to splurge at $59 pp. You do need to make reservations online and cannot just walk in as far as I know. I originally set it for 4pm but our day didn't work out and wanted it a little later. There was an opening online for 5:15pm which was perfect but it clearly says please cancel in advance if you are not able make it. There is NO where you can cancel it online and you have to call the 1-800 number and go thru the numerous prompts to get there. Anyway, it all worked out in the end and we were seated right away at the right time. I went straight to the Lobster. It is warm and they give you one WHOLE at a time. It is messy so you get a bucket on the table for discards except NO extra towels! Only cloth napkins. The snow crab is also warm and you can pile that as high as you want. The lobster is severely chewy. I had real teeth the last time we came and now it was a chore. I could not eat it comfortably with my dentures. It is that CHEWY! kinda like beef jerky. I suppose they would rather overcook it than under. I ate more crab instead. The scampi station is the best but tell them to make it small. Otherwise they make too much and it is too filling if you add the pasta. The variety is VERY good of the other foods and anyone can find something to like. I consider it to be the best casino buffet in the Sacramento area. Oh lastly, like I said before, leave a few bucks for the staff constantly cleaning your area and emptying your buckets. Its crazy messy. I do wish they would put out a roll of paper towels. Cloth napkins just don't really do the trick.

Seating area. Cafeteria-like.

In full disclosure I am neither a casino or buffet fan, yet I always enjoy this place when I come with a large group of friends. The food itself is neither here nor there, there's just a lot of it! As previously noted this place is ginormous, like most casino buffets. It's best to walk around first and look over the offerings before grabbing a plate and merely launching into it. There's a absolutely vast array of options, from Asian to meat and potatoes to fish and whatever else. A lot of salad choices too. There's something for everyone. I can't say overall there's much quality, but it is competent at best. I hit the carving station for some prime rib and some sausage, and augmented it with some noodles, stir fry veggies, spicy cabbage and jalapeño cornbread. Yes, a weird combination. The prime rib was just OK with a lot of tough meat and grizzle. The sausage wasn't bad and I liked it. I probably enjoyed the cabbage and noodles the best, although everything is on the greasy side. The cornbread was a bust... how can you have very greasy cornbread! I had a couple if cookies and soft serve ice cream for dessert which was good. Most of the dessert choices didn't really appeal to me, although they do have Boston Cream Pie, a favorite. I just didn't feel up to try it. There's a drink station with lots of soda choices. Since I shy from soda and sugar it doesn't leave a lot to choose from. The place is clean, well organized and we did have service as our plates did stack up. The guy was very polite and helpful. The cost isn't bad and I got a $10 off reward for getting 100 points on the slots. WOO HOO! OK, I will return with a group of friends but wouldn't run off to come here for anything special.

Chris T.

What a great deal to be able to enjoy the Koto Buffet at Red Hawk Casino. The buffet on Monday - Thursdays are $25, but with the credits available from casino points, it only cost me $10. Great deal because you have such a selection to choose from. There's plenty to choose from: salads, a variety of Chinese dishes and dim sum, Japanese sushi and rolls, carving station, fried chicken, fishes, taco bar, pasta, desserts, etc. The food is pretty good, and the service, keeps your table free for more plates.

The tvs here are at least 55 inch tvs. Crystal clear. Great for watching the games. There were no Broncos fans or Bills fans here. So it was just my wife and I having basically the entire place to ourselves for the game. We sat (stood too) for the entire game. It was an epic OT win by the Broncos. We each ordered about 4 drinks and had 2 apps. The drinks were all very pretty. Some were good. Some not so much. They are able to make up drinks on the fly as well as customize them. We had their boneless wings and pretzel sticks. Good finger food type snacks. Our waitress disappeared for long periods of time. I think initially she was annoyed that we were just ordering drinks. But I feel like we made it worth her while with 8 drinks and 2 apps ordered.... They have a small arcade to the back. As well as a large private event room. No tvs in there as everyone was coming out to watch the ending of the Broncos game. Overall a nice restaurant. Lots of older people here. But also some families and young people on dates too. So fun for the whole family. Good amounts of drinks. Good amounts of food as well.

I have made amazing friends at Wally's and I consider it to be 'the spot' in Cameron Park. However, a specific manager has really left me with a horrible taste in my mouth. Andy has , on numerous occasions , lied and been on some weird power trip with myself and my best-friend that are consistent regulars to this establishment. If you have two well-mannered, consistent, loyal regulars to your bar top (who are personal friends with 60% of the staff) ... you probably shouldn't lie to them when they ask for the shade blinds to be opened on a beautiful spring night. On three separate occasions, Andy has refused to open the outdoor patio shade screens during sunset when requested. On all 3 occasions, there were only 4-6 other people at the 20ish bar top inside. When we requested to raise the screens to our bartender, we were met with Andy's response: "other regulars want them down, so I'm not raising them". No other regulars at the bar top , no one anywhere near the patio. Again, we are FREQUENT regulars, requesting this on beautiful California spring nights, when no one at the bar top inside is anywhere near the glare range of the screens coming up. Honestly, anytime I walk in and Andy is managing I'm annoyed. He plays immature games for attention, & that's with people that come there frequently! If he treats any first time customers of Wally's this way, it's a shame, because every other employee of this establishment has been nothing but amazing. This review is directly a review of Andy, not of any other member on staff, or for the establishment as a whole. Wallys is my favorite place in Cameron Park, hands down, even with the BS this manager puts out to his regulars.

For food I tried the flank steak sliders and the coleslaw. The coleslaw was notable with a touch of paprika on top that was different and a good contrast to the sweet drinks. The sliders could be better. They came out piping hot on a series of Hawaiian rolls. The steam from the meat dissolves the buns a bit so it was more of a knife and fork situation. The dried crispy onions were a nice touch. Excellent service from both bartenders and friendly conversation with the locals who frequent the bar. Overall, I'd highly recommend, especially fo the historical aspect. The building was constructed in the 1800s and originally served as a Wells Fargo weighing station before being converted to a bar.

Poor Reds has always been our "go to" place when with friends and family. We would readily…read morecomment that everything on the menu was good! Unfortunately, something has changed in the kitchen and noticebly different after our last 3 visits. Burgers appear to be frozen and possibly grilled over wood as advertised and DEFINATELY over- seasoned and salted. Still lack natural flavor, smoke and overcooked regardless of preferance . Also ribs are dry and reheated. I would not reccomend either entry! Something positive, service and golden cadilacs are good. Please get your kitchen in order and be great again

The staff are, to a person, friendly and professional, and I always feel welcome and appreciated. That one experience long ago must have been a fluke.

Hubs and I are in town visiting and decided on Brick's for dinner tonight. We called ahead to ask…read moreif they take reservations. They do not, however they do something called a "fast pass" which basically means they put your name down and if you arrive while there's a wait, you get seated before anyone else who is waiting and does not have a fast pass. Kind of a different approach. I was glad that when we arrived, there wasn't anyone else waiting and there were tables available. Service was very attentive and friendly. He took our drink orders and allowed us some time to decide what to eat. Hubs and I both debated between multiple options- a lot sounded so good- but we both decided on the filet mignon. On the menu, it indicated that the dish comes with a béarnaise sauce; my husband really doesn't care for tarragon so he requested a substitution of their mushroom rosemary sauce instead (which is offered with their ribeye), and they happily obliged. The meal also included Yukon mashed potatoes and veggies. Our food was delivered soon after and I was pleasantly surprised that not only were our steaks still very warm but that they were cooked a perfect medium rare. The quality of the steaks was great, they were nice and thick. The veggies were, for the most part, overdone and a bit soggy, but that's not something that bothers me too much. The potatoes had good flavor but could have used much more milk/cream as they were pretty dry and firm. The experience was a good one and I would definitely return if we lived closer. I liked that their menu had a lot to offer- this is a good place for a family who has various tastes. Shout out to our server, Carver, who was great and provided very good service.
