"Given that it's a holiday buffet, the price increased from $25.95 to $32.95 per person. I'm okay with paying more if the quality and quantity of the food match the price, but that was certainly not the case. They decided not to operate the omelette station on holidays, nor did they offer fresh waffles—both of which are popular features that were missing while the price increased. Instead, they had some pre-made, hard, and cold waffles alongside soggy, pale pancakes. A lot of the hot food was barely lukewarm or completely cold. The ham available for carving looked dry and unappetizing, while the scrambled eggs were utterly tasteless and lacked any seasoning. Overall, the food selection appeared disappointingly sparse and unattractive. Personally, I look forward to breakfast options, and I can get a much better, freshly prepared meal at Jack-in-the-Box for just $5.95 (the Country Scrambler Platter). The two men in our group, who love seafood, enjoyed the clams and Dungeness crab, but in previous years, they used to offer King Crab Legs, which are no longer available. The prime rib looked decent, but no one from our party chose to try it. It seems that the seafood and prime rib were the only items that received any attention to quality or preparation. Between the two women in our group, we only consumed about $12 worth of food. That means we essentially spent around $60 each for the two men to enjoy some clams and crab. I seriously doubt we will return. There are plenty of other dining options where $60 can provide a much nicer experience. As a follow-up to this review, I was surprised to receive a sort of apology (see below). What's interesting is that when I started checking responses to other negative reviews, it became clear that this was a generic reply, with only a few words changed each time. The apologies are just like the food: flavorless, lukewarm, insubstantial, and ultimately unsatisfying. Honestly, what's the point?"

Wow, for less than $15, it was a fantastic experience! It was our first time visiting this place, and I have to say, the food was delicious, and the waitstaff were very friendly and attentive.

I should have known better because of the off smell right when I walked in. This was by far the worst food I have ever tasted. Gross and disgusting. The head chef should be ashamed of himself.....

The one star is generous for this buffet it was by far the worst low budget variety marked up as top notch food. The layout is terrible and there are limited choices to pick from and the food was horrible. Save money and hit another spot worth the $20 or so dollars. View menu

We went out as a family a large group of us. 10 of us. Took a little while to be seated. It was seafood Friday night around 8 so it was expected with a large group. Hostess was very friendly. Wait staff was very nice as well and very attentive. Got our drink order in fast and was coming back for empty plates and anything else we needed often. We liked the over all set up and variety. I give it 5 stars, we will be back for sure!

Runny faux eggs, soggy salmon eggs Benedict sitting in a service pan tray and an unmanned prime rib station. Not what you'd expect from a $30/person buffet. The service staff were good, but the food quality and selection left much to be desired. No eggs to order, no omelets, and not much selection for deserts. For $7 more I could have gotten much better quality and service at The Lobster Shop and not been left feeling sick to my stomach.

The Buffet was one of the better ones I've been to, the staff is super nice and knowledgeable and the food was good. They have a Pasta/Taco bar that a chef cooks in front of you, the food is fresh and delicious. They have crab legs and steak, they did ham but didn't have prime rib on Sundays. The chef kept the food fresh and coming out. They even let me know when the fresher stuff was coming and that I should wait. The desserts were delicious and had a good selection, the server there was nice as well. It wasn't too crowded, they asked if where we would like to sit and we're great at keeping our table clean and drinks filled. View menu

Dirt Cheap but Darn Good Buffet The Blue Camas has a buffet 7 days a week. The best price is $14.95 on Saturday from 8 AM to 3 PM, but the Sunday buffet $19.95, $14.96 for seniors also includes champers if you want it. The dirt cheap price offers you a salad bar, dessert bar with ice cream and pastries, custom omelets, seafood bar, carving board, and the usual breakfast items Eggs Benedict, sausage, scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, biscuits gravy, pancakes, etc. . Even vegans will find enough to get stuffed. It's perhaps not as extravagant as found in Lost Wages, but it's a lot closer! Casino management probably expects you to subsidize your meal by losing money in the slots or on the gam...

12/23/19 UPDATE Received cut paste canned response that doesn 't change from all the rest of the negative reviews. If these reviews are making it to management, then nothing is being done about them. Again, you 've lost a patron of 18 years for both casino and restaurants, who has stuck by you through so much, just because of things like this that screams WE DON 'T CARE that we 're losing loyal customers! Go away, we don 't want your business!! I have complained 3 out of 4 of the last times I 've been there...nothing has improved. 12/20/19 ORIGINAL REVIEW 3 visits out of 4 in 2 months has been like the following review You should be worried when you see no line on a Friday night at 6:30pm. s...
