This is served only on Friday and Saturday evenings, and the cost of the buffet increases from $29 to $34. The waitresses were very attentive without hovering, clearing away plates to leave room for the next visit to the buffet, and very gently explaining to a man at the next table that his extra slices of prime rib couldn't be wrapped to go. The patrons are the expected mix of gamblers who don't wish to leave for a meal, Ellicottville skiers, Seneca Nation members, and seniors for whom winter sidewalks are too hazardous to negotiate for company.

Had dinner at Thunder Mountain buffet on Wed, Jan 11. After I was seated, I wondered why they were…read morecramming everyone into one small area, which was further complicated by three ambulatory vehicles left next to tables in the narrow aisle. The shrimp is gone. The first full section of the buffet was BREAD. The last full section of the buffet is CONDIMENTS. They have spread out food displays to make them look fuller, but they are not. Take note because there is also a small taco bar, ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, meatballs and four items in the Asian bar. This is the first time I have gone here and only had one small plate of food. The cafe' is closed for renovation now as well. This buffet is not worth the expense. Honestly, it was depressing. I gave two stars because the staff was so darned nice.

The person who picked up the phone was very nice and very accommodating. We got Mongolian beef, general tso chicken, cheese wonton, fried wonton, chicken teriyaki, yong cho fried rice, shrimp with lobster sauce, salf and pepper fish. Almost all of them were really good except the fried rice. The fried rice could use little more spices. While waiting, the owner came up and he was one of the most pleasant ownera I've ever met. He greated us, and offerred us drink while we were waiting and made sure we were taken care of. If I live in the area, this definitely would have been my regular place to get Chinese foods. Definitely will come back again if we happen to be in the area.

Loved the clam soup, also the hot and sour soup! The Korean chicken we both agreed was a dish we'd return for! While my husband went heavily into the chicken offerings: Sweet-and-sour, with shrimp and garlic sauce, chicken lo mein, and chicken satay? I went the more classical route: Pork dumplings with vinegar dipping sauce, sauteed beef with mushrooms, green beans with garlic, and an excellent hot and sour soup. While it lacked wood ear mushrooms, it was pungent with white pepper: The proper seasoning. We looked at each other and said, "Why don't we come here more often?"

As soon as you walk in,…read moreit feels like you've stepped into another world, the atmosphere is beautiful and very welcoming. Our server was super friendly. It wasn't too busy for dinnertime, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The buffet offered a wide variety of options, and everything was well presented. The dessert section was definitely the highlight for me and the best part of the meal. That said, I do feel the price was a bit high for a buffet-style restaurant. Overall, it was a great experience, just slightly overpriced for what it offers.

We are probably here about every other month. I wouldn't say that it's the best buffet in the…read moreworld, but being inside the casino, it is nicer than the family buffet restaurants, and much cleaner. And it's the nicest place to eat in the casino. It's fairly expensive at $21.95 for dinner per person. You get $3 off that with your Lucky North card, and I also had an offer on my card for another $7 off. We also cashed in our points that were on our card to save a few more dollars, so we paid $30 total for the two of us, with non alcoholic drinks included. I'm vegetarian, and there's a lot of options for me. Off the top of my head, there's pizza, garlic sticks, salad, macaroni salad, soft pretzel sticks, fried mac and cheese, baked potatoes, rolls, spring rolls, and a make your own pasta station. Now, of all of that, the macaroni salad and the pretzel stick were good. The rest was just ok. There was also pimento macaroni and cheese, but I really didn't like that. And I didn't do the pasta station this time, but that is usually good. Like all buffets, it changes, so everything isn't available each time you go. On the dessert bar, there is an Oreo pie that I really like. I usually go get that first to make sure I get a piece, lol. Of the whole buffet, that is the one thing that I truly like. Everything is ok, but nothing is amazing. The pie is really good though. My husband is not vegetarian, and he is really why we come here. There's a much bigger selection for him, and I know he had prime rib. That was probably all he needed to be happy. :) I just found out that they have a brunch until 3pm on the weekends. I would prefer that, so we'll try to go earlier and get brunch next time.

I'd call this a little below decent and terrible variety. The buffet has less choices than a hotel breakfast. There was one small table and both sides has the same thing. There were pancakes, waffles, eggs, sausage, bacon, chicken nuggets, some type of cake thing I didn't eat, plain yogurt, jello, rice pudding and toast. Again it was ok. I had the waffle and French toast. Soggy. The sausage was not very good. Bacon, have to find the good pieces. Same with the eggs. Toast was strange rice pudding was good as well as the little Greek bun things. All in all would probably not return. If the dinner was cheaper maybe try that but if it's anything like the breakfast quality I would say not worth $26 and not cheaper than other options around. Service was friendly though.
