I attended the brunch this past Sunday. The sausage gravy was absolutely amazing. Hands down the best I have ever eaten! The new chef recommended I try and it did not disappoint. He was energetic and passionate. The hash brown were a home run also. They must be making big changes- you can definitely taste the difference!

A good thing about this place is the service. Not as wide variety of food that they used to have. They have a small salad bar and very few desert and main meal options. My dad and I went there just the other night and we weren’t impressed. I got stuffed shells that JUST came out if the kitchen and they were cold! When I say cold I mean frozen, I couldn’t even bite into it.

Dirty silverware. Dirty tables. Cold food. I never in my life wanted to be a Karen so bad. I’ve worked in food and beverage for a long time and never had to be asked 4 times for clean silverware. Nor would I ever allow my coworkers to serve unsanitary and old things like that. 2.8 stars? Generous.

Used to go there all the time before covid. Have been there twice since and will not be returning. The food is not like it used to be. Very limited options and the taste is not there anymore. Was a waste of money both times. We thought maybe the first time was a fluke but it wasn’t. Very sad.

Ill start with the positive. The staff were great. Friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Now to the negative, the buffet, or lack of was just sad especially for a casino. This place is about 15 mins from Turning stone casino that actually has a buffet with plenty of options. ended up coming here because TS was at capacity for their buffet that night. Coming here, was a huge mistake. Although i was told previously their buffet was horrible, I wanted to experience it for myself just to see how bad… I should have listened. And to think, my wife’s review came from several years ago when she went. With the new banner outside in the parking lot that displayed “The buffet is back!” Strong feelings and questions emerged as I went inside.. “WHY, and What was it like before???”if this truly sad display of food was your buffet, why in the H@#% did you bring this back?? And what did this look like before you did?? None of the food had any flavor, for the customers that actually sat down and was eating this, clearly have no standards or tastebuds. They had mashed potatoes, the gravy next to it looked like old chocolate pudding, just about the only things semi worth eating were the deep fried zucchini and i guess the macaroni and cheese only because it came out fresh. For dessert, there was some mystery brownie cake, or ice cream which wasnt even sanitary. You had to scoop your own ice cream in a 2 gallon container. Meanwhile you have no idea if the last person scraped their arm on the inside of the container grabbing their ice cream in the process, you could be putting that, in your bowl….yea Im good thanks! Other than that, extremely limited options and wasnt worth it. This place reminded me of an old outaded bingo hall with a banquet room. Good luck if this review hasnt deterred you to run like hell away from this place. You will have more variety and a better meal at Golden Corral, hell even a truck stop. I hope for their sake they can get it together but, I will not be returning…

I took my wife to Vernon Downs Hotel for a night away from the kids. we made the mistake of eating at the buffet the food was gross half of it was cold it’s gotten 10 times worse than it used to be there was only about eight choices of food. $22 is way too much for that little bit of gross food I ended up going to the cafe next door to get normal food to bring up to the hotel room.

Everyone was friendly as hell. But the food they have to make is pretty rough and very limited. Buffets just aren’t like they used to be. And rightfully so I suppose. If you want to eat in this area consider the Black Stallion restaurant or Knuckleheads in Westmoreland.
