Garden Buffet

Stayed with my aunt and her fam… they were comped a lunch here for their time sharing meeting… so yay for free food.
When we came, the food was getting a little old… but as the late lunch (around 1pm) went by the older food was getting replaced with newer food. It was definitely not the best buffet I have been too (we go to a lot of buffets) but it wasn’t the worst either…
They had a lot of choices: seafood (they had crawfish yummmm!), mexican, italian, omelet bar, asian, primerib, bbq station, salad bar, and desserts of course (even sugar free). There was definitely a lot of choices… best part was the bottomless mimosas… and for some reason… these were the best mimosas I have ever had in my life so far… Idk if I’m getting used to the taste of champagne or If these were just good to begin with… I def got a tad bit tipsy haha
If you were a paying customer…$ 15.99ish for Sunday brunch if you were a club member at South Pointe. if not $ 19.99ish

Save your money and go somewhere else. The free mai tais were not good at all, food was less than desirable. Have you ever had that feeling after you ate somewhere and you were like man I shouldn’t have ate that… hope I don’t get sick! That’s the feeling you will have after leaving here. So if you choose here GOOD LUCK!

Ate dinner here on rib roast Thursday. Eat all you can eat buffet of Asian, Hispanic, Italian, and American entrees. Free parking in the casino lot. Good value $ 18.95 /​person or $ 14.95 with casino card. Some entrees were better than others which is what buffets are about. Rib roast was tender and juicy. You need to get there before closing time of 9pm. Desserts had typical ice cream gelato cakes fruit. I thought this was one of the better buffets I have been to.

Ate the breakfast buffet. It was typical buffet food. Wasn’t very hot & food was bland. Was very expensive for the quality of good.

We had American Casino Guide coupons good for a free buffet after putting 300 points on our slot cards so we decided to try the brunch buffet. This buffet was more than a little disappointing because the only additions of interest to the usual breakfast fare were a cheap beef roast, tiny Asian shrimp and some large, tough BBQ ribs. Fresh fruit choices were limited to cantaloupe and honey dew melon. On the plus side, there was a reasonable selection of gelato.

Not gonna lie, the Hawaiian food at South Point was alright especially the laulau, chicken long rice, saimin and poi but I’d stay away from the poke, almost anything seafood, fried anything and tropical fruits like mango or papaya. It just didn’t taste… I’m sad they didn’t have malasadas and lomi lomi this time around.

Let me start by saying that Garden Buffet is not at all your fancy gourmet Vegas buffet. However, it is very decent food with quite a wide selection at an amazing price.
My family and I stayed at South Point on Christmas Eve, and the four of us were each given a coupon book with discounts at the various restaurants, cafes, activities, etc… One of those coupons was a 50% off coupon for Garden Buffet, so we decided to go down and try it out. The Christmas special buffet was something around $ 20, but with the coupon, we ended up only paying $ 10 per person. I should mention that they require you to be 21 in order to use the coupon, however we just told them everyone was 21 and no one was the wiser.
The buffet had a few stations (seafood, Asian, Mexican, Italian, BBQ, and dessert). I mostly hung around BBQ for their prime rib and rib tips. The Asian station had a make your own stir fry that was also pretty good. Desserts were standard with a bonus gelato bar. Our buffet also came with 2 drink tickets per person for glasses of wine (no doubt to get all the 21+ in a happy gambling state). You really can’t do much better as far as $ 10 meals go.

If you value your stomach lining and intestines, stay clear of this buffet! My husband got two free meals to go there. They had Asian, Mexican, Italian, meats and dessert bar. and salad bar. I got a small amount of Italian and Asian, then went to meat station and asked for a slice of brisket. There was absolutely no meat on it, just a giant slab of fat. Imagine the thickness of an Italian sausage. Yes, it was that thick. I of course didn’t eat it, but what I did eat had me running (literally) to the bathroom. I could actually feel my intestines moving it down to the to, well you all know where. Just thinking about it makes me nauseous. I’ve eaten in their restaurants before. This only happened there. Steer clear!

South Point food venues are probably some of the best deals in Las Vegas when you combining price with quality. The Garden Buffet at the South Point seems to have gone down since the last time I was there. Granted I don’t frequent buffet’s all that often I seem to recall my last visit being more enjoyable.
I was there during brunch hours so it was a combination of breakfast options and what I’m assuming are dinner offerings. The food was okay but not good enough to write home about. My expectations are tailored being that buffets are more about quantity then they are quality. Will I visit again? Likely but not as a first option.

Let me preface and say that the ONLY reason we ate here was because my boyfriend’s family was staying at South Point, and this was the only place that didn’t have a long wait. I read the reviews in advance and warned everyone, but bf’s aunt has low blood sugar and needed to eat ASAP, so we ended up here.
Wednesday night is «Luau Night» at the garden buffet, with Hawaiian favorites as well as all you can drink Mai Tai’s! The buffet is priced at $ 14.95 pp with a players card or $ 19.95 without. Do yourself a favor and get a damn players card. This buffet is not worth $ 10, let alone $ 19.95. Seriously, it takes two minutes. Just go to the rewards center and sign up.
The Mai Tai’s were available at the front right when you walked into the dining room. They were absolutely horrible. The only way I can describe the Mai Tai was it tasted like rotten sweet and sour. There was no alcohol in it that I could taste or smell. It was overly sweet and not good. No wonder they were included.
The food was hit or miss. I had some lechon that was pretty good and Hawaiian pizza. The Portuguese soup was another good one. It was hearty and flavorful with chunks of sausage and white beans. I tried the garlic shrimp, and it was so old that it was mushy. There was poke on the salad bar that was turning funny colors, and since food poisoning was not in the cards for the evening, I skipped it. Bummer cause I love poke. They also had mac salad that looked questionable so I skipped that also. I filled up on soup, salad and bread pretty much.
For dessert they had malasadas, and various cakes and cookies. They also had a small gelato bar, and i got to try the strawberry and espresso flavors which were both very good. But to pay $ 15 for bread, soup and salad I was pretty disappointed.
TLDR; skip this buffet and go somewhere else.

Really disappointing. I actually lost my appetite as I walk through and looked at what I wanted to eat. I can see they are making the food there but the display looked warmed over greasy and a food borne illness just waiting to happen.
With that said, the food I did choose was okay and I didn’t walk out because of of the major discount and mimosas all day.

This was probably the worst buffet I have tried. Food was dry and way more money than it was worth. We will avoid this place going forward.

Not a bad buffet for the cost! I think it was $ 10 each but would have been $ 8 each if I had a players card.
I had grits for the first time in 30 years. That should be worth something. (Then again, maybe not…).
This casino must cater to Asian clientele as they have «breakfast» (eggs, sausage, ham, omelets, donuts) and chow mien, egg foo young, egg drop soup… in other words, real food .
I hate starchy American breakfast food so, thank you, Asians for staying at South Point! :-) (Now, if they could only attract Italians…)
I would definitely eat here again. It wasn’t the highest quality food but the variety was good and the quality was acceptable.
This buffet is much better than the one at the Luxor, Circus Circus and Freemont (although their champagne breakfast rocks!).

We ate here and are never coming back. the food was terrible. And I’m not a very picky dude. But this buffet… I spit out everything I bit into. The only thing good was the hard boiled eggs and spam. I’m taking my wife here every time I go to Vegas.

A friend of mine recommended this place to me during my stay in Las Vegas. It’s about 15 – 20 minutes from the strip and the Buffet is reasonably priced for the variety of food. I was pleased to see they offered decent size Shrimp on the buffet.
I recommend you getting a player’s card, it’s free to sign up and we saved $ 4 a person for having it during lunch. They allow 2 people per player’s card for the discount.
The buffet had American, Chinese, Italian and Japanese food. Great variety of food and not bad tasting either. The buffet includes a beverage for the price. Service was great!
I would definitely return in the future and recommend this buffet to others.

Meh. I had a half priced coupon, so I can’t complain too much. The service was good but the food was dry and kinda tasteless. I was disappointed.

About as bad as it gets…
I’ve eaten at a worst buffet at the Blue Water Casino in Parker, but this is now my personal worst in Vegas. It was dog-​eat-​dog as people were cutting in line and after 30 minutes trying to get some breakfast I had to settle for food I don’t normally like.
Stay away!
If I was the manager of this restaurant I would be embarrassed to pick up my paycheck each week.

Not gonna complain, not the best but I came here multiple times during my stay!
Came to the Garden Buffet at the South Point while I stayed at the hotel on the weekend of the Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con. When you stay there, you get a funbook with lots of handy coupons to use throughout the hotel! Needless to say, one of the big draws is the coupon for the 50% off the buffet, any meal of any day during your stay. They gave me TWO coupon books, so I was able to use this coupon twice! Double the savings! Nice!
Anywho, back to the buffet. The Garden Buffet is by far not the greatest of buffets AT ALL. It isn’t on par with Bellagio, Caesar’s Palace, or Wynn so don’t even think about it. But for me, it’s OK. Not everyone can charge that amount of money for a fancy buffet. Pricing at the Garden Buffet is along the lines of buffets for Station Casinos. But the quality of the food here is hit & miss. Lots of miss, but a few bright spots.
First time I visited the buffet was Friday evening for their seafood buffet. With the players club membership (free) it cost $ 24.95 plus tax, but with the funbook coupon it came in at $ 12.50 plus tax! How friggin’ cheap is THAT? Plus it came with a glass of white or red wine! Look, I know it ain’t fancy or high class but for that little scratch you sure can get your money’s worth if you eat right. And folks sure looked like they were.
People had plates upon plates (upon plates) of crab legs, oysters, and fried shrimp. One guy I watched had three plates of just crab legs in front of him, a tub of melted butter, and another plate for crab leg shells. I myself had several plates of crab legs, but also tried the other fare like prime rib, and little bit of everything else. Quality? Eh, not bad, of course the crab legs were are from pre-​frozen but there were areas in the buffet where you could get cold crab legs as well as steamed crab legs. I went for mostly steamed. A squeeze of lemon & a dab of melted butter? Not bad! Best thing is the crab legs are already cut in half giving you precious time to eat more for less work. Glass of wine was a nice touch. The rest of the buffet food was just OK, nothing special but nothing of über high quality or taste. Their spaghetti sauce though is kinda off though, not very tasty. Prime rib was a tad overdone for me too. But a seafood buffet for $ 13 was one of the cheapest ways to eat at South Point!
Second time I ate at the Garden Buffet was my last meal on Sunday before I checked out. Went to the brunch, which was an even better deal! $ 15.95 before funbook coupon, only $ 7.98 plus tax after! Also, with bottomless mimosas! Get fed! Get drunk! For cheap! I actually enjoyed the brunch more than the dinner because the food choices were more appealing to me. I had a slice of prime rib, some BBQ ribs, and even a cook-​to-​order omelette! It was actually quite good. Many of the items on the buffet were subpar, but those few things did stand out. Even got an extra mimosa to go!
The next time Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con is in town I’ll most likely stay at the South Point again and partake of the funbook coupons. Pretty good way to stretch your dollar on a busy Vegas weekend. Yes a cheap buffet does usually mean cheap foods, but in the end… it’s still CHEAP!

A good buffet for the money if you’re a hotel guest or member of their players club. Their prime rib, shrimp and egg station are on point! Their mimosas are free flowing and their service is great! The dining area is clean and spacious. It’s located a few steps from the hotel elevators and the casino. Their best night for dinner is Friday since its seafood night! Crab legs…

Excelent buffet. Muita variedade de saladas, tipos diferentes de comida. Varias opcoes… Seafood, Asia, Italian… I recommend

Reading the bad reviews here makes me sad. it’s not that bad people, dang!
Under 8 bucks for breakfast and 13 for lunch is not bad at all. Plus, they give you a coupon for 50% off the buffet when you check-​in, S C O R E.
Just make sure you save that one for the Seafood Buffet night on Fridays, 25 bucks (Reg. Price) for all you can eat oyster, crab legs, shrimp and everything else.
There aren’t as many options as let’s say, the Rio LV Buffet. but their omelette station in the morning is great! They even can use egg whites if you ask them to.
For Lunch you can make Stir-​fry which is great too.
For dinner, a favorite for me is their prime rib. It’s so juicy and flavorful.
Plus, please save room for a slice of their German Choc. Cake. its the bomb.
PLUS = all drinks (non-​alcoholic) are INCLUDED. Get a pepsi now and coffee after. I loved that.
Downside was that some of the other choices were just meh.
Pizza, meh. Pasta, meh. Ice cream, yuck (perhaps made with water).
& beef barley soup or split pea soup as their only soup options. why?! Change it up, put some chicken noodle soup in there.
Overall, it’s not a bad deal! Just try a little of everything, I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll like.
