Falls Buffet

Got my fill on king crab night. Pieces were a bit small or thin but hard to find another place that offers it like this. Prime rib was delicious a bit under seasoned but hey it’s a buffet. I don’t expect super top notch quality at a casino buffet… And I also don’t whine that it costs a lot… Casino is there to rob how however they can.

3.5 solid stars.
This was above average buffet.
Although the selections cannot compare to what in vegas, the tastes are better.
The dinginess crabs were fresh. It was very easy to get the fresh meat. It wasn’t salty like seafood in vegas.
Prime rib was flavorful and tender.
A big piece of cod was yummy. It wasn’t dry and seasoning right.
Beef stroganoff was very good too.
Bbq pork was my an sh by favorite. It was super tender almost like stew pork.
However. The desserts were disappointing. Nothing to remember home.
If you apply for a club card and give them your email, you will get 400points or equal to $ 40 food credit.

This is one of the best buffets I’ve frequented. The pizza is very good and the chefs will honor requests. There is a Mongolian grill with excellent and fresh meat selections. The salad bar is well-​stocked with fresh ingredients and a very good variety of salad dressings. Service is average which can be frustrating when waiting for iced tea or water. I wish those items were self-​service. The pork ribs are excellent but the salmon is rather plain and dry.

I go here once every few months with my family when my mom racks up a lot of points. I love their prime rib and desserts the most. Every time I go, I always go straight to the prime rib and get a thick slice of it. I then make my way around the buffet, looking at the options they offer that night, and finally go for dessert. I always try to get one of each dessert to sample everything but it’s impossible since they have so many! Our servers are always super nice so we get good customer service. This is our family’s go to place for when we need to feed a crowd, in style!

Desserts are plentiful, so many choices! We enjoyed the mint pot de crème and papaya dessert best. Dim sum was so-​so but there were plenty of other options. Overpriced for what you get which is country-​buffet level quality, but much better desserts.

This review is for the Sat brunch buffet with dim sum ($ 18.95). Unfortunately the brunch had a lot of the breakfast fare we were hoping to avoid: waffles, pancakes, potatoes, etc. Was hoping for more lunch items like their cooked salmon, etc. That said though their Mongolian bbq is always there and pretty darn delicious. Their carving station had ham and turkey — both of which was pretty good. I opted to try their clam chowder (thumbs up) vs the carrot ginger soup. Please avoid trying their dim sum. This is a buffet place inside a casino. I’m guessing that the dim sum is not made on site — instead the items are likely pre-​frozen. Don’t come here expecting to be wow’ed. The desserts, however, are still delicious. Go for the homemade cheesecake — so light and fluffy. Order a black coffee to go with it all since it can get too sweet.

Compared to Feast Buffet in Renton, this place is tiny. My BF and I came on Dungeness crab night and the crab wasn’t bad. If all you want is crab, then this is not a bad place. All of the other food was just mediocre and I didn’t want seconds of anything. Fish and brisket were a bit dry. Prime rib was good. The best part was dessert. Their maple pecan bread pudding is amazing! So are their tiny pecan pies. I thought it was odd that they did not have any fresh fruit.
I definitely would not come back since Feast is so much better.

I’ve been to the Falls Buffet a few times now and they’ve always had something I’ve loved!
I recommend coming on Tuesdays — King Crab night is amazing here then!!! The line gets really long and can take a while to get in, so show up early! The king crab here is some of the best I’ve ever had. I waited in line for over an hour (and I’m not a patient person), but when I got in I realized it was all worth it! I can’t wait to be back just for the King Crab!
Tonight I went on «Comfort Food» night, which is Thursday’s.
Things I loved:
Prime rib here was amazing!
Mashed potatoes were perfect to pair with the prime rib!
Service was excellent, our waiter was friendly and quick to refill our drinks.
Their selection was vast with Chinese food, pizza, desserts, salad bar, soups, they have it all!
Things I didn’t enjoy:
Some of the sauces were very tangy (spare ribs and ravioli sauce specifically)
The desserts all looked amazing, but the red velvet cake was a let down. Just not the flavor I wanted unfortunately (red velvet is my favorite!).
All-​in-​all most of the time I’m here I enjoy every plate I get. I’ll definitely be back, especially on King Crab night!

I come here for two different reasons. Steak or crab. On crab night I get my monies worth. I love prime rib and theirs is usually pretty darn good! A nice big slab of meat sitting next to a mountain of mashed potatoes that is topped with mushrooms and smothered with gravy…, ya, I like that. Twice or even three times. Or until I puke in my mouth because Im so damn full and I like to be the guy that feels like he beats the casino by over eating right after I lose $ 200 on black! Damn you casino!!!

Tuesday, dinner, KING CRAB for $ 36.95 ($ 40.13 after taxes).
I got to say Falls Buffet was mediocre, pricey if I may add. I mean, I know it’s King Crab night and yes them King Crab is delicious and it’s very expensive but why is most of their other food bland?
From what I counted, there’s about 25 entrée dish and about a fifth of it are actually good like their prime rib, walnut shrimp, garlic chow mein, just to name a few. OH & king crab was bomb too, I mean of course the king crab has to be good… haha
Falls Buffet also has a Mongolian section, I didn’t get any but it doesn’t look too bad. The same usual.
Most of their food on the line aren’t that good. Don’t expect grand food or anything. It’s a buffet afterall. I mean, their corn wasn’t even good… it was bland and tasted like water with minimal to no hint of corn taste to it. How does that happen? Lol
Service was fantastic tho! The waiters/​waitresses are very courteous, quick and on-​point with refills.
Overall, my experience was alright. I really did came for the king crab and that didn’t disappoint, but the rest of the food, Aha… just stick with king crab.
BY THE WAY:
Every night for dinner, Falls Buffet offer something different like
Monday would be Island Buffet ($ 24.95)
Tuesday is King Crab ($ 36.95)
Wednesday is Dungeness Crab ($ 28.95)
Thursday is Comfort Food ($ 24.95)
Friday is Seafood Night ($ 28.95)
Saturday is Grand Buffet ($ 27.95)
Sunday is Dim Sum & Snow Crab ($ 25.95)

1^st off, I am comparing casino buffets, NOT buffet food to regular restaurant food. I have been to Muckleshoot, Tulalip, Snoqualmie, and Emerald Queen.
Saturday (Feb 13) was the 2^nd time that I have been to Falls Buffet. The first time was in September of 2014. The first time I went, they had prime rib on the buffet and fish, maybe also cocktail shrimp — otherwise, no seafood. I wasn’t impressed with the food selection but the quality seemed good and the dessert selection was the greatest.
At that time, I ranked Muckleshoot above Snoqualmie for greater selection and also they have crab legs at the lunch buffet AND the dinner. And dinner has prime rib too.
After this last visit and Snoqualmie’s addition of the «Grand Buffet» on Saturday evening, I would rank these 4 casino buffets as follows:
1. Snoqualmie
2. Muckleshoot
3. Emerald Queen
4. Tulalip
ATMOSPHERE AND SEATING:
Falls Buffet is well lit but not glaringly bright. Seating is primarily chair seating at tables for 4 in the middle of the room. Seating is well spaced (you can pass between tables without bumping people). Not much privacy. Restrooms are available within the restaurant area (vs having to use a bathroom in the casino itself). Restaurant area looks casually elegant overall.
PRICE:
Buffet prices vary by day and based on offering. Different days have different buffet selections, for example «King Crab night», «Brazilian night», «Dim Sum and Snow Crab night». For the Grand Buffet on Saturday it’s $ 27.95. Most expensive is King Crab night” for $ 36 and change. Drink is included (even milk).
SELECTION:
Selection has improved at Snoqualmie. As mentioned, they previously didn’t offer crab. I am not one to just go to load up on crab but it is now available (Dungeness) alongside prime rib. Also available and very delicious was marinated grilled shrimp, grilled scallop, cod, salmon, cocktail shrimp, clams, mussels, etc. Asian/​international style selection is very limited but they have a Mongolian Grill station. Salad options are roughly the same as Sizzler’s. Carving station also offered pork loin. Dessert selection is quite generous, probably the best I’ve seen of the 4 casinos.
SERVICE:
Service was very friendly and attentive. Waitress was warm and conversational, and checked continually to ensure we were satisfied. Drinks were kept filled up until the end of the evening shortly before we left and dirty dishes were promptly removed.
FOOD:
Of all the reasons to go to Snoqualmie, I would say that the general taste and freshness of the food would be it. Delicious items: The waitress said that the cheesecakes were made in house and we liked them very much. The pot de crème probably was too but we didn’t ask — it was delicious either way. The prime rib was a beautiful, tender, medium rare. Marinated grilled shrimp was fantastic. Scallop was less flavorful but tender and perfectly cooked. Pre-​mixed Caesar salad actually had crunchy croutons throughout. Green beans were tender but crisp and beautifully colored still. Sauce/​cheese on the Au Gratin potatoes had separated but they tasted rich and delicious. Cocktail shrimp were plump and tender (and come in an ice sculpture of a slot machine). Dungeness crab looked and tasted fresh. Less good items: Beef stroganoff was OK but cheap meat was used. Macaroni and cheese was bland. Corn was on the cob but lacked flavor due to sitting in water. There was a random station with raspberry jam and blackberry jam (not near any bread, oddly enough) but it was heated and had concentrated to become too sweet.
Bottom line is that if I paid almost $ 30 per person at a restaurant, I would probably expect better than some of the offerings. However, since this is all you can eat and includes appetizer, soup/​salad, drink, and dessert — especially out of the 4 casinos mentioned — you can’t go wrong with Snoqualmie Grand Buffet.

Headed to sno Casino last night and found out the buffet closes at 9. Bummed headed to 12 Moons when I heard the announcement, buffet is staying open till 11!
Buffet food is alright but I went for the Sunday night snow crab! Yesterday’s crab was really good and sweet. Yumm! Don’t waste your appetite on fillers and just get the good stuff!
3 stars cuz crab was the only good part and they’re dessert selection sucked! I’m all about the dessert and I was very disappointed.

I have dined here twice now. Both times have been very positive. My husband loves the great selection of seafood, including the crab legs on Sunday night.
During our most recent visit, I took my parents, who were visiting from out of town. My mom added the lobster tail to her meal. When she presented her ticket to receive the lobster tail from the chef, he said the last one they had from this batch was on the small side. He told her to come back in about 15 minutes and he would give her a second lobster to compensate. My mom is a huge lobster fan, so this made her day!
Everyone enjoyed the food and liked the selection of options. The desserts were yummy and my dad loved the prime rib.
I must rave about the incredible service we have received during both visits. Our drinks never got below half full, our seafood shell bowl was emptied multiple times and used plates were removed promptly.
I love this place and will definitely be back soon!

Meh. Expensive and the food was bland. I went on a Friday night so it was seafood night and $ 29 a person. You can add a lobster tail to your meal for an additional $ 10. They mainly had snow crab, one section where it is simply steamed and on the Asian section it was seasoned with black bean sauce. I preferred the later as far as flavor but it was just so messy. Cocktail shrimp was in a slot machine ice carving. They had your usual carved meats section as well as the standard buffet fare. The dessert section had nice looking cakes but were in case so you have to ask for what you want instead of getting it yourself. However, the cookies and mini pies were self serve.
Our waitperson was attentive in taking our empty plates/​bowls in a timely manner and supplying us with plenty of napkins and wet naps and kept our glass full of the beverage we ordered at the beginning of our meal.
I would be back if I had enough players points for a free dinner but if I do not, I will pass.

The buffet is fine if you’re trying to use up some casino credits or redeem your free birthday meal, however I wouldn’t pay for it otherwise. My family has been here plenty of times to use up points and I haven’t eaten anything here that I absolutely loved… the food isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s not great. I’d say the best thing here is the service — the employees are attentive and pretty personable, especially the cooks at the Asian wok.
If we go, it’s usually on a Saturday, which has the widest variety of food options since there’s no specific theme. I do enjoy the prime rib, and the «broasted» chicken. I also like the Mongolian Grill station and often (TIP) load up on the veggies here since there aren’t too many vegetable options besides salad and a couple along the buffet. There’s a vast selection of desserts… one of the best is the flan, but none of the rest are too special.
My main concern is the flavor of the food… some of the meat/​fish dishes could use more flavor but I’ve also had a couple dishes with what seemed to be an odd sauce or seasoning. They do switch out a couple menu items every so often though which is nice. This place is okay… sometimes I just tag along or I’d have to make dinner for myself hehe.

Boy I have to disagree with those that say its ‘same ol, same ol’ as other buffets. Been here 5 times for the crab buffet (Fridays I think, not sure about other nights)
The CRAB here is to DIE FOR. Far and away better crab quality than ANY buffet or restaurant for that matter (better than I ever had at Dukes, Cutters, or Anthonys). Sometimes its Dungeness, sometimes Snow Crab, and others claim King but I’ve never seen that. Always fat, delectable legs. Not sawed in half like in every crappy Vegas buffet I’ve ever been to. And they KEEP IT STOCKED unlike many other buffets that let it die for a while.
Huge piles of clams & mussels. Ok cold shrimp. The prime rib here has never disappointed either. Fresh oysters on the half shell.
If you like Mongolian grill, they do that, and admittedly they make a very lame attempt at Chinese food. I pretty much pass on everything else.
The dessert selection is pretty decent, not interstellar, but I didn’t come here for sweets.
Waiters will swarm, keep your table clear, your drinks topped off, the coffee is strong, and they’ll drop some sani-​wipes when they see youre done shredding crab legs.
So, assuming youre a crab lover, I’m giving it 5 stars — YES, 5 stars, for a seafood buffet, its the best quality Ive had, better than the seafood buffet at the Rio (Vegas) at twice the price. STOP SAWING CRAB LEGS IN HALF VEGAS! :)
If you don’t like crab, eat in the café. ;)
Oh yeah, and once in a while if youre a player they’ll bounce ya a freebie. Sign up!
One more thing, if you DO have to pay, after tax and tip, you are slightly over $ 30 so this is a $$$

My parents took me here for dinner on a Friday night using their casino credits. Overall I’d give 3-​stars — entrees were a bit mixed in terms of quality. Service was great as well as desserts and coffee. Hey its Seattle, birthplace of Starbucks, so its expected!
Seafood: Both the fish items (cod and salmon) were cooked OK and moist, but on the bland side. Shrimp cocktail came out of this plastic dispenser shaped like a slot machine was OK — shrimp a bit firmer than I like. 2 stars.
Prime Rib: Wow — juicy and well seasoned, especially the outer perimeter with the salty-​peppery crust. I like this with Au Jus and creamy horseradish. 4 stars.
BBQ: Ribs were slightly dry but well flavored and a nice tangy sauce. The Broasted chicken (breaded and roasted? broiled then roasted??) was like fried chicken without much oil — not bad but not as juicy. Fry bread was excellent — similar to Chinese Donut without the oil. 3 stars.
Dessert: I liked how they’ll get the desserts for you. The guava mousse was OK but the pom mousse was wonderful. Sweet upper layer and tangy bottom layer. Coffee was dark and bold. 4-​stars.
Overall rating would be 3-​stars. Probably not in the same league as Vegas buffets or even Cache Creek’s buffet in California. However, props to the prime rib!

The food he isn’t that great but if they send me a free buffet coupon I don’t mind making the drive over for the food. I think however that is the way the lure you into gambling because every time I visit I have to play some table games…
Definitely come when they have king crab, they have a calendar on their website that tells you what day is what. Each days dinner can be a different price. Expect long waits when it’s crab night.

I got dragged here by an elderly relative, Like it was something special. It is your classic casino buffet. We all go there. Too much meat, too much fat, too much desserts. I think the chairs automatically move away form the table so your belly can fit more in. Because then you are too tired from the carbs to get to your car so you sit at another slot machine and spend some more. I ate very little. I have done this once. Plus I needed my wits about me for the ride back to Seattle. Couldn’t be in any carb coma.

Falls Buffet is located in Snoqualime Casino in the North Bend area. There Saturday night buffet is $ 25.95 at full price; however, casino club members often receive special offers.
Falls Buffet is your Old County Buffet type food, it is nothing special, nothing fancy and nothing tasty. The food is processed and has an overall limited variety.
What bothers me most though is the service. The server took 10 mins to welcome the table and offer drinks. When only a soda was ordered, he was visibly upset (he knew he was not making a sale). He refilled it once and that was clearly a huge task for him.
The rest of the time he was not busy. He was standing leaning on a unbussed table and talking to co-​workers.
Falls Buffet is simply not worth the visit.
