The Buffet - Valley Center

Drove over an hour to go to the buffet, just to arrive (hungry) and said it was a 2.5 hours waiting. Finally came to find out it's not a buffet at all. You will get a small menu and you can choose 4 items at a time, and wait until it comes to you. Although they crabs, lobsters and prime rib. most of the food is not fresh and not aromatic. For $49 a person PLUS a mandatory $7 tip per person. we will not return.

Such a shame, just give this buffet three stars, but I have to. If this was the old style where you go and choose your article yourself, that would be better. Now you need to order and wait from your table until they bring the 4 items you limit, which can sometimes take 20-30 minutes between each plate. Not to mention the exaggerated lines that form, which waits for 2-3 hours for food. And even in spite of this, food quality has broken down. I've eaten this buffet for the last 5 years and it's expired. Previously, the pot roast, the carne asada, the chicken pamersean and other great items that were here earlier. The fried chicken used to be amazing, but they seemed to have changed their recipe lately and is not as good as before. And my favorite part, the end cut primary rib, has really lack of taste and the quality of the meat also seems to have gone down. It is a shame, as the amount of desserts and food is still great and decent for the price, but the quality of food and the time to really get it away from the experience. Will eat at Patties and Pints or black and blue from now on at this casino.

Horribler customer service. We showed up 15 minutes after opening and got a pager. We waited almost 2 hours and we asked the hostess again and we said it was a 3 hours waiting. We wanted to stand in line and say it was two more hours. This is the worst customer service I've ever had. The hostess hardly spoke English and didn't understand when we wanted to explain that we were waiting there. Finally, a manager came by and I told him the situation and he didn't seem to care. His answer was good the good news is that you will be able to eat sometime tonight... The administration must be replaced by the terrible hostess Patrica

I can certainly understand why the Buffet was voted California 's Best. It was fantastic!

Been here many times for the lobster buffet. Whenever I dined here the line is not too long. I remember not wanting to eat the lobster as I preferred crab legs instead. The lobster tails do look a bit small and I remember once when i did not like the taste. The crab legs on the other hand is cut open for you and more desirable for me. The selection of food is good but nothing great. Also, not too many choices on the hand carved meats. When i was there last, They were serving Prime Rib and sausage. Possibly it's the timing and they were getting more meat. Now, our server, meh, I've had much better. He barely came around and our plates were stacking up. When I asked for something from him he had a funny stare. If you're in the area give them a try. For me, I'd go elsewhere.
