    This is the best buffet in all of Coachella Valley. I love that they have the choice between New York steak or baron of beef. The Italian and Mexican stations are amazing with many options. The Asian station is weak. There's plenty of dessert options. The salad bar is fantastic. The servers are attentive and refilled our drinks and took old plates away promptly.

    I spent my birthday celebration at Fresh Grill Buffet inside Fantasy Casino. Since we took a weekend family vacation at a nearby resort in Indio, California, Fresh Grill was the best dinner choice since it was a couple miles away. We had one main server, forgot his name. All servers were friendly and worked well as a team. They were attentive to my family members (8 adults and 4 children). They were solid. My family members and myself agreed that food was good. Well presented, fresh, clean food areas, and professional food servers making sure food items were stocked. The dessert bar looked appetizing, noticing there were sugar-free desserts. I normally don't see much of at other buffets, that I've been to. As for buffet prices, I'm use to the $23 (with sushi and teppanyaki grill) to $33 range for adults, in San Diego. And, these are weekend and dinner prices. I did not like the children's price. I had four of my grandkids, ages under 8 years old, that joined in on my birthday celebration. Again, I did not like the children's price but loved the look on their faces when they saw the desserts and variety of food. The restaurant appeared bland and plain looking. Nothing spectacular that stood out. Tables and chairs looked basic. I was expecting a little more "bedazzle." Maybe it's just me, but the ambience felt more cafe like. I recommend the restaurant drops their children's price to a more affordable range. Note: Dinner and weekends cost more than weekdays. The buffet is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Overall, entire family enjoyed their dinner

    Don't miss this rare and lavish experience! We were given Christmas money to splurge and this was incredible! The buffet area is smaller than many other casino buffets, but don't be fooled. Everything we put on our plates was top notch and at a great price. There wasn't anything more we could have hoped for. We kept saying, "taste this", "you've got to try this". The prime rib was flavorful and I seriously believe I could have eaten it without teeth! Horse radish was creamy good and so fresh. Oysters on the half shell were sooo good and the steamed mussels were tender and just perfect. Quality, quality quality all the way from source to mouth. Next time you're blasting through on the 10, this is right off the interstate, you must stop in! Go hungry and don't be afraid to over stuff yourself. This is the place to do it!

    We felt stuffed

    Nice selection, the food is better than most buffets, service is excellent. I think it's a good value for the price of $35/person.

She's incredibly attentive, friendly, and even remembers our usual order every time we come in. That said, the experience can be very inconsistent depending on the staff. When we don't have Katie or Alan, the service tends to fall short. Unfortunately, the other day was the worst we've experienced. Our server seemed disengaged, even rolling her eyes when we finally flagged her down to order more food. After placing the order, it was never entered, and we ended up waiting about 20 minutes with nothing on our grill. We'll definitely keep coming back because we love the place, but I really wish the level of service was more consistent across the entire team, more like what we get with Katie and Alan.

The boneless marinated beef chuck was great! The one that come in cubes. I recommend "B" option to include more savory meats such as Gal-bee and some other premium steak for another $5 or so per person. I enjoyed the spicy tofu soup, which I had it several times for the comfort. Their miso soup was good, also. Their Kimchi wa bit sour, bur I asked for me!

Soon the manager comes to our table for a little chat, very personable. Our salad came. It was one of the top salads I've had in my life. Pumpkin seeds, kind of candied and crunchy were mixed throughout. Delicious. Back comes the manager, "how was the salad?" Everything wonderful. The dinner came next. One person wanted all white meat, another all dark meat. They met our requests. The typical Thanksgiving dinner was delicious. Moist turkey, cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, fresh green beans, sweet potatoes, candied with rolls. We asked for extra cranberry sauce and got it. The manager and the assistant manager both showed up asking about the dinner. Next came the pie which was a little disappointing. It looked and tasted like a pie you could buy at any grocery store. Choice was pumpkin or apple. Service was excellent, except for the pie, the food was great. Ambiance was the casino all around. It's definitely a 5 star rating.
