With a Casino member card you will get this meal for $9.99 otherwise you'll pay $29.99. Everything is "all you can eat" except the lobster tails. You are allowed a maximum of 5, which is plenty. The first time I went in April I was disappointed with the prime rib. It was more of a thin slice of over cooked roast beef and the lobster seemed over cooked as well. This past weekend I took visiting relatives for the meal and was pleasantly surprised to find the quality of everything was much better. You must get there by 4 pm if you want to make it into the first sitting at 5 pm. The line up gets long very fast! Well worth the wait if you are a lobster fan. Not the same as cracking open a whole lobster yourself and enjoying the claw meat (my favorite part) but a wonderful treat for visitors from away!Kudos to our waiter, Adam, who was fast,efficient and friendly despite being run off his feet with the demands of so many hungry lobster lovers!!

When I did choose a wine it took forever to com and there was not very many people there that night!

Pleasantly surprised to have our orders completed promptly. Lovely Portobello burger with fries. Waitress was very understanding of food allergies at our table. She also understood that we were on a tight deadline, and brought our (separate) bills soon after delivering the food. Well done!

The food was fantastic—actually better and more affordable than other spots along the boardwalk. I'm quite a picky eater and won't put up with poor service, but I can honestly say this place exceeded my expectations. I ordered the burger, which was delicious, along with beer-battered fries. Others in my group had the haddock and fish and chips, and everyone was raving about the flavor and freshness of their meals. I suspect the negative reviews might be from those who are just grumpy after losing too much at the casino.
