We went in w high hopes bc this is 1 of the last few buffets standing in Laughlin... kind of a culinary survivor. You pay, you sit, boom, you're eating. Credit where it's due: the service was on point. Plates vanished instantly, drinks stayed full, and they handled our big group like pros. Now... the food. The presentation was giving 'cafeteria chic.' Dim lighting, sad-looking dishes, and a vibe that didn't exactly scream 'buffet jackpot.' There's definitely potential here....turn on some lights, dress up the food, maybe hype it up a little. Maybe even a little uodated remodeling and some LED lights to make the entire place more appealing. Taste-wise, everything gave strong school cafeteria vibes. Not awful, just... confusing. This is a hotel/casino buffet, not third period w a lunch tray. Overall, it fills you up, but it definitely needs to level up if it wants to live up to the hotel/casino buffet title. We left full but unhappy. read more

Cheap, cheap and cheap food, at a high price. Bland, tasteless cheap industrial re-heated meals. Food actually looks bad and doesn't taste any better! The only acceptable dish was the carved roast beef, but that's pretty much about it. Place is/looks old. A huge plus for the staff: nice competent and friendly. read more

Enjoyed the buffet and the snap crab legs. It's always nice to make a crab salad. There of course CNN other options, shrimp, Mexican, corn on the cob, also a dessert bar. Stop by different options on different days. The staff was accommodating we had someone with a walker. The service was quick and the team was very customer service oriented. The river view is always great when eating so relaxing. read more

Went on a Friday. Food was great, but only if you like seafood. I could not see going there and eating other than seafood on Fridays.

OMG where to begin? This buffet is absolutely awful, and that's being kind. The selection is quite small and the cost owithout a players card is $25.00. My first reaction as I went through the selections was I'll have some of the yellow, and don't get cheap on me. I'm not kidding several of the dishes were unidentifiable, they were just gross looking. As for the dishes I tried, the lasagna literally tasted like a cheap frozen lasagna. The spaghetti sauce for the spaghetti was absolutely disgusting, it was like eating sugar. The Chinese dishes were so gross. The only two dishes that were even remotely edible were the carved roast beef, and the pesto sauce ravioli. My server however was very pleasant and was working hard. Oh and the salad bar was a joke. Avoid this monstrosity at all costs. I was given a table by the window however, so at least my view was nice. read more

The restaurant is dated. The hostess would not let 5 of us sit at the window tables. The food is just ok.

Yes it was very good and great service by the staff! Friday night was seafood night we really enjoyed our meal

If you wants a good breakfast to not come here. And my standards for a buffet is low to start with. To start with the one star was the service was good. More of a continental breakfast. But, not a good one. Do not come here if you are not happy paying $19 for a mediocre continental breakfast. Hometown buffet is mediocre. But, it's so much better than this place. I did not find one hot food. Warm at best. No omelette bar. Or any other kind of food station Eggs were watery. Ham was tasteless and soaking in water. Bacon was good the biscuits and gravy the biscuit the gravy I guarantee you came out of a can. No flavor. Needed pepper. Mash potatoes and gravy was out of a box. Look how empty the place is at 12:30 on a Saturday read more

I wrote a review on this buffet almost one year ago. Then, I gave it 5 stars. It was fabulous and all I could think about knowing we were turning was going to the buffet again. It definitely was not the same and now I see why folks gave it such low stars. Last year we went on a Friday night. This time it was Thursday. Was it a different chef or the buffet has really changed. We were there right as the buffet opened. We definitely liked the roast beef and stuffed peppers. That's about where the bragging stopped other than the salad bar. Carrots and spuds were close to raw as you needed a knife to cut into them. So sad as I had looked so forward to eating at this buffet several times during our trip but that was it. No more. A positive note is that the servers were friendly and efficient. The view of the river from the seating area is awesome. read more

My wife and I enjoyed brunch here this past Thursday afternoon. Food was okay, nothing particularly special or noteworthy, more basic. I had a comp, so the value was great for us. The setting is rather pleasant with the dining room overlooking the river. Service was friendly and attentive. read more

Horrible and expensive, how can you ruin bacon. All around just bad food I should've went to the Regency read more

I'm not really into buffets but we decided to give it a go. The waitress who was assigned to our table was very attentive and friendly. Food choices were ok, some breakfast along with dinner choices. Kind of made me wonder was it left overs from the night before only because it had obviously been sitting... you know when a gravy that's been sitting needs to be stirred as it develops a film... it was like that. Even with that though the food was decent. Was it the best I've had and would rant and rave about no... but I wouldn't say I wouldn't go back. Overall it was ok. It's a buffet... with a beautiful river view.... read more

Food is always great, good service, and the different specialties every night, the view of the river is amazing to look at

First time in Laughlin and I thought to check out this buffet. The workers are horribly rude old ladies with no sense of direction. Openly discussing customers using vulgar terminology and racial slurs on the floor next to us eating. Not enough condiments either. Sad place to go in a Friday night. read more

Way too many of y'all expectations are way too high lol. This is a BUFFET ... In LAUGHLIN ... UNDER $25 per person (breakfast, lunch, or dinner). The presentation of many of their hot options looked questionable, but the food I did try wasn't nearly as bad as y'all are making it sound haha. The service was great and buffet was clean. read more

First, our server was the most loving and caring and capable server ever!!! (i hate using color, but we called her Mary, she is black and the BEST!!!!) The food was alright , not the very up class best, but good. But it was our server that will have me come back and look for her!!! read more

Went in for their brunch buffet which runs from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and it was breakfast plus a whole bunch of lunch items if you wanted to skip to that including Asian Mexican barbecue salads sandwiches and more. The breakfast was pretty simple eggs bacon potatoes pancakes french toast omelettes. The food was okay much better than my meal yesterday at the Riverview restaurant. Filled up pretty quick but hold on was a relaxing meal before the Long Haul back down to the valley. read more

We stayed the St. Patrick's weekend, and decided to try the buffet for dinner. See that the reviews were not that good, but we were hungry, and the slot machines were killing us so we had to go the budget route. There is a pretty decent amount of different kinds of food, even some carved roasted meats. Some were good, some were not that good, but the fried chicken was good! read more

Riverside Buffet - two plates of food on a table - Buffets Near Me - Laughlin, Nevada

Ugh. One of the worst buffets (if not the worst) I've had the misfortune of eating, and I've eaten at some of the lowest-end buffets in the area (hello Fiesta Henderson! Arizona Charlie!) I'm not a food snob and occasionally enjoy McDonald's when appropriate. Good selections but everything looked like it's been out for a while (dried out and shrunken). Nothing tasted like the food labeled. 'Firecracker shrimp' that was made with sea-monkey sized bay shrimp. Tamale is corn wrapped in corn. Went for the salad (rarely eat salad at buffets) and that was mediocre (how do you mess up salad?), with underripe tomatoes and tasteless bacon bits. You can tell everything was done from a 'reduce cost as much as possible' basis. Small beverage cups. Low quality produce and meat. Basically institutional prison/high school cafeteria food served buffet style. At over $20 price point, should be better. Your local cheap Asian buffet is better/fresher than this. If paying, go for Riverside's sit-down restaurants instead. If comped, don't use it. read more

If you're expecting 5 star food, forget it. We dine often, because our church mass is upstairs and we meet friends. It's café class. The variety is unbelievable. We get comped. The BEST reason for going is JILL!!!!!!! She's a 11, on a scale. SHE IS OUR ROCK STAR!!!!!!!! read more

I would give them a 0 if it was an option. The best thing was the salad bar, and it wasn't great. Couldn't chew or cut the meat in the broccoli beef. Had a tough time chewing the roast beef. I tried a lot of the dishes, left all after a taste. Was there on Tuesday night. Lasagna was lots of noodles with some sauce between and a little cheese on top. This is my first bad review, but it was so bad I had to. I wish I would have read the reviews before I went. read more

Third time of eaten at Riverside buffet. All three times i had diarrhea and threw up. Went on 4/18/25 for the first time breakfast, thinking would be better than the dinner buffet, I was wrong. Their eggs, potatoes are processed and have a funky taste. The bacon also tasted different. One hour afterwards as I was hitting a slot machine, I felt weak, clamy and ran to bathroom. Spent an hour in the bathroom. Same as the other times for dinner. Will no go back. Do better with the buffet, ya'll have the money to buy better food than processed. read more

Food was good and prices are great friendly staff and very attentive will definitely be back next time I'm in town

Second time coming here and the food and experience was better than the first. We were really happy they opened the buffet on 4th of July. There was no wait when we came in around 9:30 for the brunch buffet. Breakfast food was fresh and delicious. I enjoyed the variety they had. I ordered water for my drink but it did taste like tap water to me. My sister and nephew got a Pepsi and they said it was good. Our server Karen passed by often to check on us. We appreciate her service. The ambiance was calm for the most part. Again we got there before the brunch rush. The place has nice views of the river. Overall it was good. Definitely recommend if you enjoy buffet food. I know buffet food can be iffy at times but it was better for us the second time around. read more

my husband and I have always had good food and good service. The discount for comps is nice too.

Very small selection of food and what food they had out was gross, was not a clean restaurant, service was great,

Don't go late to Sunday champagnebrunch. If they don't have open bottles they will not open new ones even when 2 people with 6 people total are asking. If I hadn't gotten mine free I would have been really missed off. read more

The buffet is not too bad, but the rest of the hotel is bad news. We visited last week and were treated like low life citizens from the hotel managers. We stayed at the hotel for two nights. We were cheated by hotel managers who could of given us free water for the instant coffee. There were two bottles of complimentary water and instant coffee that we used. At checkout we were charged $5.00 a bottle for the complimentary water that we found in our room. I tried to contact the hotel manager but they are shielded from the public. Once they get your credit card number you're screwed. Next they will charge for toilet paper. read more

As we are waiting to be seated a disgruntled patron stormed by complaining about the food and conditions. Not sure if he got his $$ back but he was going to try. I was a little hesitant because of all the recent poor reviews but we had a BOGO from the players club so what the heck. Well they now charge $19 for a weekday breakfast. So with the BOGO ~$10pp. Sooo not worth it. Walked into the food area to check it out and they had ham floating in a pan of water, the chicken fried steak could have been thrown and considered a deadly weapon. The tamales made a hollow thump when you taped them with the tongs. All the desert cakes had a dried out layer around the outside. Scared to death of any salad containing mayo. There was an attendant pulling the grey matter slices off the top deli meats...i could go on...and on...the seating area is nice and fairly clean and the servers friendly and efficient. For $19 you should have an omelet or carving station. Nope... THE GOOD: the view, the service, the soft serve ice cream, the nachos THE BAD: most of the food, the coffee, the ham floating in water, the hockey puck chicken fried steak, canned fruit, the price THE UGLY: the old grey meat the attendant was peeling off the top of the deli meats. I wouldn't feed that crap to a cat and I don't like cats. I adopted a no one star policy a while back but yikes...had to violate it for this place. The team there is so nice and efficient I feel really bad for them, they do their best. Sadly the Riverside Buffet is on my "To Don't List." read more

Arrived at 11:30 AM. Nice view of the river and friendly service being seated. Good nominal selection of food; salad, eggs, bacon; chicken fried steak, pasta, fruit, dessert. Reminiscent of Bojangles or Hometown Buffet, or your high school cafeteria. The food was okay going down, but a lot less pleasant coming out as vomit 4 hours later. Literally. Beware. read more
