It's home to the beautiful, calm, and peaceful Sauk River. Geese, ducks, ducklings, and a garden to enjoy the view of the river. Inside, there's a warm, welcoming, and hospitable atmosphere. Jaclin is very friendly and professional. The family had a great time, and the geese were happy since we gave them some snacks. Among other things, as a chef, I recommend the Spam skewers--yes, Spam--and the BBQ ribs, which are fantastic. Good selection of drinks, and behind the bar, very skilled hands. Until next time...

My wife and I planned on taking a quick day trip to get some rest and time together and I had won a…read morevoucher for Grand Casino from a local silent auction. So we didn't have too many expectations coming in, as long as it had a nice hot tub and room, we would be happy. And that is what we found here. The rooms are updated and modern and very roomy. Beds are very comfortable and offer a good night's sleep. The pool area offers a huge hot tub which made for some good lounging time, albeit you cannot have drinks of any kind in the pool area, which was somewhat of a downer. The casino was not anything to write home about. We had some free play credits to use and the machine basically ate them without functioning correctly, so that was a total bust. Oh well, I don't gamble against the house anyways. Finally, we had dinner in their restaurant. The food was not bad. I enjoyed my seafood platter, it was filling and had decent quality seafood. My wife's BBQ mac and cheese was not great, more mac than meat. All in all, it wasn't terrible and we didn't pay much out of pocket for it. Finally, there is not a lot to do outside of the casino. There is a nice state park just up the road and you have Mille Lacs for fishing excursions, but not much more than that. I have never been to the Hinckley location so I really can't compare between the two. There is at least more to do in Hinckley. Oh well, as stated before, we were just looking for a bed and hot tub and that is what we found.

My history with this establishment is a masterclass in disappointment, a decade-spanning saga of…read moredishonesty that I feel compelled to share. It began years ago on a Mother's Day, a celebration with my entire family--my wife, our four kids, and my mother. While the rest of us ordered from the menu, my mother opted for the buffet. The meal itself was a preview of the incompetence to come: reheated food with that distinct microwave sogginess and a pervasive smell of harsh chemical cleaner that clung to the takeout containers we requested for leftovers. The most memorable moment was when my youngest, barely a year old, nibbled on one of my mother's buffet donuts, and the owner's son, about seven at the time, ran screaming toward the kitchen--a foreshadowing of the chaos this place inspires. The true spectacle arrived with the bill. Not only had they charged us for our menu items, but they had the audacity to charge all six of us, including the children, for the adult buffet. When questioned, the staff who had perfectly understood our complex order suddenly couldn't speak a word of English. We told them exactly what we thought of their scam by never returning. A decade later, my son, nostalgic for a childhood he's misremembered, begged to celebrate a chess victory there. Reluctantly, I agreed. While he was away from the table, the lady owner accosted me at the booth, demanding to know why we'd been absent for so long. I looked her dead in the eye and said, "It's prime supper time on a Friday night, and you have two customers. We told you we didn't like being ripped off; we told you with our feet." Now, with that son grown and moved out, I made the fatal mistake of giving them one final chance. Some things never change. The food was as mediocre as ever, but the audacity had been refined into an art form. I was billed for sixteen wontons and received a paltry four. When I called to rectify the mistake, the same delivery service they proudly advertise suddenly became unavailable. They can deliver your food, but they can never, ever deliver on their promises. A perfect record of failure spanning ten years is almost impressive. Save your money and your dignity; this is a place that sees customers not as guests, but as marks.

We typically like all Chinese buffets but this was awful. It's a very small buffet compared to most which is fine but the food was just nasty. The crab Rangoon was so undercooked it was soggy. The fried rice was yellow, not sure why. The meat tasted like it had set out for hours. They didn't even have a soft serve ice cream machine like most. They had small cups of pre packaged off brand ice cream. Two adults, a 3 year old and a 7 year old was $60. Fair price if the food was decent.
