I am a certified chef and as a result somewhat picky. My wife and I went to the buffet last evening. It was $ 20 a piece which is reasonable for a decent buffet. The employees were quite friendly and efficient. I can’t remember ever having food as bad as what we had last night. The beef was rubbery, the fried chicken was overcooked and tough, the rotisserie chicken seem to have been cooked a day or two earlier. I took some sautéed squash that looked like it was cut by a second grader and had no seasoning whatsoever. The baked beans(canned) were acceptable as was the pie. we found a place we will be returning to.

Not impressed. We come here quite a bit. The crab legs were salty. Way salty. Not happy.

My husband and I went to the buffet a couple of weeks ago, which happened to be Mediterranean. OMGeee, what a spread! I am such a fan of european food. There was so much to pick from, I stood in the center overwhelmed lol. I enjoyed it very much. I would go back for the Mediterranean night, but I have not been really happy with the costly meals beforehand.

Lots of options! I love how many dessert options there are. From pie to cake or Gelato to sorbet. Friendly staff. Matt at the pasta bar is super friendly! There oven baked fish was over cooked hard to eat. But that’s the only downer.

After seeing a movie next door at the multi-tainment center it was time for lunch before the long ride home. We arrived at the buffet and paid $ 15 each, seems reasonable but I was a bit underwhelmed. There was a meat station with vegetables, a waffle maker, omelet station, breakfast items, a taco bar, meat-based entrees, salad bar, pie counter and gelato counter. I tried the BBQ meatloaf which was tasty, but burnt to a crisp on one end, meat lasagna, fresh fried chicken, flavorful and rare roast beef from the carving station, pulled chicken tacos, very basic salad bar, a large slice of surprisingly good chocolate peanut butter pie and completely devoid of flavor rum cake. The standouts were the roast beef and pie. The pie is in a chilled counter and you ask for a slice of pie. There is a about 12 pies with many fruit and sugar-free. Our waitress sufficiently frequented our booth and was pleasant.

Okay Harrah’s you and I need to have a talk. Tonight we decided to try the Eagles Buffet at Casino Arizona in Scottsdale and that buffet made us realize you’ve been ripping us off. Long story short. They have WAY better food; higher quality, including the crab. The food was seasoned well and nothing tasted frozen and reheated. Their desserts were fantastic and yours are absolutely terrible. There is sooo much more you could be doing. Like at Eagles they don’t make people wait in crazy lines according to reward levels where you show up and watch others get seated immediately while you’ve been waiting an hour. Inexcusable. Oh! And the best part, they’re $ 7 cheaper per person. So! We’ve decided to lower your star rating until you get your act together. Even with the gas mileage driving a 70 mile round trip we still save $ 6 and get way better food and service from Eagles than at your buffet. Shame. For the readers, make the drive to Scottsdale, it’s so worth your time, much more than paying inflated prices at Harrah’s for what we now realize is crap.

Have been to the ak chin buffet at HARRAHS5 times. The last 2 for dinners on a Friday and Sunday. 2 years ago the lunches were 4 stars. The dinner buffet is overpriced and the food borders from tasteless to dried out to why eat this. We live in Maricopa and only wish it was at least 4 stars. Worst buffet of any casino from Atlantic city to Las Vegas. The head chef has to be asleep. The buffet is not even worth going to on a free comp. save your money save your appetite. 23 minutes away on chandler blvd for $ 15 dollars try the HONGKONGBUFFETCHINESE. The seafood is excellent and the rest is very good.. It’s worth the trip for lunch or dinner buffet. Very clean, fresh food. Trays filled, friendly service. Why waste double the price for tasteless food at a ridiculously overpriced buffet. P. S. Bought a dozen donuts at Dunkin donuts and would never go back. All must have been sitting there all day. They must think their customers are plain stupid. HARRAHS you need to get your act together. We won’t be coming back and we live 5 – 10 minutes away. Customers want fresh and quality and good taste not slop. You should be ashamed of yourselves serving what you do

When ever we are at Harrahs we always eat at the Buffet, the food is always good and they have some great choices… I must confess my favorite there is the dessert bar

We took my daughter a couple weeks ago, and while the cashier lady was fantastic, Rosa was our server, she is always working, and got my drink wrong and then I had to wait about 15 minutes for her to correct it. Not sure why I seem to get an attitude from her when I am super easy at buffets and always tip. The food at least seems to be getting better than before.

Great lunch buffet. Reading reviews about the lines, my husband and I went to the buffet about 11:45AM on a Friday for a daytime date. The timing was perfect with only one couple in front of us and then at least 15 – 20 behind us. We signed up for the Total Rewards online the night before and got $ 6 off. The drinks came right away and the booths were comfortable. Everything seemed clean and fairly modern. The ambiance was actually conducive to a date with good lighting and high walls between booths. Now for the good stuff! FOOD! We loved: –Grilled-to-order salmon –General Tso’s Pork and veggies(the veggies were the star) –Chicken Cordon Bleu –Gelato(Salted Caramel was to die for!) –German Chocolate Cake –Sweet Potato Pie –Au Gratin Potatoes w/Chilis –Roasted parm potatoes We liked: –Lo Mein Noodles –Honey Chicken –Moz/Tomato salad –Oatmeal rasin cookies –Mashed potatoes/gravy –Fried chicken –Taco lasagna –Fresh fruit We did not care for: –Corn on the cob(mush doused in butter) –Cheesecake(no flavor, not creamy, and strangely hard) –Cornbread(dry and no flavor) –Brisket(overcooked, tough and fatty) –Roast beef(cold and no flavor) –Salad bar(lacking options and didn’t seem quite as fresh) Overall, this is better than some of the buffets we have been to in Vegas and definitely the best one we’ve experienced here in the Valley. I appreciate that they put out small batches at a time so that your hot food is fresh. By all means, SAVEROOMFORDESSERT. Your options are great. We will definitely be back!

I am keeping 3 stars for The Buffet. I have been here on several occasions and really– nothing changes. While the service and overall quality is good… the buffet offers a boring selection if you go quite a bit… their pasta dishes so far(3 visits in 3 months) has been inedible on all 3 trips, and a lot of times the food from day to day never seems to change. It is a decent place– just experienced small disappointments but I will still eat here in the future.

Fridays and Saturdays are the famous seafood buffet. We were charged $ 25.99/person(other nights are less expensive). The staff seemed a little over burdened, but were friendly enough. Some of the food was mediocre, but most was excellent: Prime Rib, Mashed Potatoes, Sea Bass, Crab Legs, and Gelato to mention a few. Just let your server know if your going to the restroom. Unfortunately, there aren’t public restrooms in the Buffet, so when my son had to use the restroom we had to go out onto the Casino floor. When we returned they were cleaning off our table as if we were done eating. Overall a good buffet though.

The wait was awful. Granted, we were there at dinner time, but it was a Tuesday night. Kudos to the cashier who walked over to us rather than expect my wheelchair bound Mom to go over and pay. The food seemed well laid out. The serving dishes weren’t huge tubs so no food item sat for very long. The taste of the various foods was just OK. American foods were a little better than the Chinese and Mexican offerings. There were a number of cakes and pies for dessert. The best part was the 10 or so flavors of Talenti gelato. That’s why I’m giving 2 stars rather than 1.

One day we decided to make the drive out to Maricopa to check out the Harrah’s casino. When we arrived, we were hungry and decided to give their buffet a try. We were really disappointed. The selection of food was not very good. The best items was the Ice Cream and desserts… which were average at best. It was one of those meals where you got mad at yourself for wasting calories on bland food. Oh well. One good thing is that the cashier at the buffet told us we’d get a discount for signing up for a players club card. We did and got a good discount, unfortunately the food wasn’t worthwhile. Return Factor — 5%

Of course they had to raise the price up $ 10 for Christmas Day. They could though have not kept running out of main dishes though. The food was good but I have been to far better buffet’s and it’s cost me much less. I have to say I won’t being going back here, even if it is close to home!

Tried to eat here Friday night for the seafood buffet. We waited in line for 90 minutes before finally giving up. Would have been much sooner but the drive down there from my house is almost an hour. They have three lines, tiered based on the level of player’s club card. The diamond card holders waltzed right in and the hostesses would seat from that line until it was empty before anyone from the ‘lesser’ lines would be seated. At the end, we stood still… didn’t move an inch… for 20 minutes. So no-one from our line was seated for 20 minutes while dozens of people waltzed right through in the diamond and platinum lines. What a fucking joke. Waster my whole evening trekking down there dreaming of crab legs just to be snubbed by them. Never, EVER again.

After reading some of the reviews, we just had to try this out. I am an all-you-can-eat crab lover, so the fact the seafood buffet had snow crab legs definitely attracted us. The crab legs were excellent, and the variety of the foods here was much more than some of the other crab buffets. The ambiance and interior design was also very nice, and much more fit for a date than Casino Arizona or Fort McDowell’s buffet. Unfortunately, our conclusion at the end of the night was that it was not worth it. No foods particularly stood out. We still mostly ate crab legs, and that was probably our favorite item. The crab legs were of comparable quality to Casino Arizona & Fort McDowell, and driving all the way out here just for a nicer interior environment and more variety of mediocre food was not worth the gas nor the added price. In addition, we tried Wandering Horse Buffet recently and felt it was at least 2x better. While I prefer snow crab legs to the crab legs they had, Wandering Horse just had a much bigger variety of excellent foods, so we don’t end up eating crab legs the entire time. In the end, I’d say check out this buffet if you’re in the area, but if you live in the Metro area, dish out the extra $ 8 to go to Wandering Horse Buffet, or save a few bucks and go to Casino Arizona(but only for crab legs) than spend the gas to drive here.

I honestly don’t know why this place got 5 stars. We drove all the way out there to try this 5 stars buffet and we were so disappointed. Did they change chefs or other reviewers had taste buds problem?(Sorry, no offense here) Food is like fast food restaurant quality, maybe slightly better at most. You might be able to find something okay to eat there but the bad things we noticed just really annoyed us. They have a grill section and you can see this large container on the table holding all the raw chicken, raw salmon waiting to be cooked. Well, they need to cover up the container while the food were waiting to be cooked and kept under 41 degree F. Grilled chicken on the stick, looked like they been sitting there all dry up before they were grilled, so they just looked raw outside but fully cooked inside, looked just like what I saw at the«body worlds exhibit», ouch! We also noticed there are quite a few flies flying around in the restaurant even they have those bug lights. If you were gambling there and the casino gives you free meal at this place, I say sure why not, but otherwise, its just not worth it. As a side note, we went to get the players cards and save $ 3 per person. First timer also get $ 20 free credit to pay. Me and my wife won $ 11 of out of those $ 40 free credit which save us 50% on this meal.

This is, so far, the best buffet I’ve been to here in Arizona. So many amazingly good items, from soups such as the tasty egg flower and the ambrosial New England clam chowder, to entrees such as juicy brisket, grilled salmon and veggies, fish and freshly fried potato chips, delectable potstickers, and much more. There were so many superb dishes so I tried to get only a small portion of each item, to make room for some of the desserts. And what an array of desserts it was: fantastic bread pudding, different kinds of fruit pies, cheesecakes, gelatos, sorbets, and more. The contemporary design of the dining area, the very comfortable booths, and the very efficient and very friendly service also helped to make dining here with my Unilocal friends Rand H., Jeromy H., Mike C., and Robyn N. a truly memorable experience.
