I cannot believe I've never reviewed this place. We eat here from time to time and it's always…read moregood. The food is fresh and hot or nice and cold - whichever it's supposed to be. The service is fast and friendly and they offer buffet service for catfish and chicken (both fillet style) and fried okra and fried potatoes (home style) and French fries and hush puppies - they have salad and Cole slaw and dill pickles and also have green tomato relish which I really like! It's a down home feel with locals all around - the folks that own it are a family in the area. It's a way out of "town" and is part of a very rural area about 25 mins outside of Fort Smith (the biggest city nearby). They offer puddings for dessert (box made - not homemade) and animal crackers, marshmallows and peaches and cottage cheese for the finish of the meal. The drinks are free refill after purchase and they offer tea and water or Coke products. They are only open on the weekends and a line forms early and lasts almost all night long on Friday nights, so come early!

I try to come here every year, but this casino either I do really good or really well on days. I…read moreunderstand it is gambling at the end of the day. The casino is really nice and have a great selection of games here. This Choctaw has different games compared to the other locations which makes each location unique as I like playing the Fun Fun Panda. I do notice the downside here is the parking spaces can be really tight and wish they were a little bit wider as if you have a truck you can easily take up two spots and miss the lines or you have to park somewhere far away. We have eaten at all of the locations now and have a good selection. The downside here is I wish they really have more Pokestops here, so I can take a break. I only got one jackpot here, however and a baby one at best. But it is okay though. They have the drink machines spread out as well. It does get smoky too. This casino does get really cold too, so make sure you bring a sweater even though the weather outside is out.

The best part of Choctaw is the poker room. They primarily have 1/2 poker games where the small…read moreblind is $1 and the big blind is $2. The safe is friendly. The rake is $5 for big pots (over about $50). I don't know where that stands compared to other casinos, but it seems a little high. They have bonuses (ex. pay outs for 4 of a kind or better), but they change regularly and seemingly without warning. The staff in the poker room is professional, honest, kind to the players, and fun. Choctaw allows smoking which is the low light of the place. Don't wear nice clothes when going as they will fill with smoke. I get it, its a casino, but it would be much better without the smoke.

VETERANS DAY 25…read more Server Nonexistent. Had to refill our own drinks and bring dirty dishes to wait station. He Only checked on us after we finished. Ambiance Crowded initially, but an hr into it, pretty low volume. Food Disappointing. There were numerous salad bar staples missing, a few regular items on the food bar missing. Quality of food has declined on the past year. Overall While I greatly appreciate the free meal for veterans, providing sub par quality food, sub par food options, and vastly sub par wait staff. Speaks volumes how this location in ft Smith really feels about us. Will probably visit another location next year. Military Yes 100% free today military appreciation night.

There is also plenty of parking and there is a parking garage if needed. The staff was friendly and check in was quick. We got to the room and was pleasantly surprised. The room is decent size and is nicely done. The room is reminiscent of a Vegas style room. There are also plenty of outlets for charging bedside. Didn't really come for casino but it is also nice. A little small but modern with modern slots. The only knock is lack of restaurants. They only really have one restaurant and it's closed on Wednesday. Not sure why it's not open 7 days a week in a casino. They also have a grab and go but the kitchen wasn't open when we went down around 7. Went to the diner across the street. As far as a hotel I'd stay here again for sure.

They do not have curry tofu on their menu. So when I saw they offered curry beef, I asked if I could have that but replace beef with tofu. They said sure and it became a common order for me. Today, I was going to order online, like I commonly do, but decided to call to actually try and cut down on confusion to help. I asked if I could get the indian curry with tofu. The woman on the phone who I've seen frequently up front, immediately changed tone. Aggressively said "Uh, I think you have the wrong restaurant we don't sell indian curry. I went back to how I usually ordered it. She said "Are you the person who orders online sometimes?" I said yes and she told me she cant hear me, I tried again louder and she legit hung up on me. I didn't think the order was taken so I went in to order in person. I was immediately attacked by the lady who usually greets us when she points to the seat. She said "don't say Indian curry. There are many different curries thai, singapore etc. Woman behind counter as well. As harsh as the suddenly turned on me I can only assume they have an issue with Indian people or something. You wanna know the best part? I added a photo that shows on their own menu, the curry beef is stated to be in classic Indian curry sauce... I showed on the menu and they both just kept on. I sat down to wait, a girl comes in for pickup and I hear them talking about "its one of those days..." She is always front desk help, only cashier and calls. I RUINED her day apparently for trying to be more specific. They had one elderly customer for the buffet and rest were pickups. I apologized for ruining her day as I looked over the empty building. Aside the two other pickups (one for door dash). The fact that the lady said there are so many types of curry, however wants me to order by saying "curry tofu" (not on the menu). This supported me, because how would I know if they're using the sauce I wanted or yellow curry, green curry, red curry, all these different kinds she told me about? Anyways..., pretty agitated, pretty hurt, thought they enjoyed having us only for them to turn heel for daring to call something on their menu "Indian". All was fake aside from the nice waitress.

The buffet has plenty of options & includes a good variety of sushi, & even has a hibachi option. The taste of the food is as good or better than the other buffets I've tried recently. They were a tad slow when we visited, so we may have received more attention as a result, but they were very quick to provide refills on drinks & take dirty plates. The overall ambiance was nice. Restaurant was clean & the bathrooms were very clean & smelled good. I feel like the price may be a bit steep, $15 per person, but pretty much everywhere is more expensive these days. I definitely ate my fair share of food & was stuffed at the end. We will definitely be visiting Smile Bull again in the near future.
