For the price of around $57 for a dinner buffet on the weekends, I thought it was overpriced. No typical food items like you find at similarly priced buffets. No salmon, no clam chowder, very little shrimp offerings, and crab legs were okay. The food stations were very limited. And the only thing that was very good there was their lobster tail and whole main lobster.

Horrible. Spent 140 for two people because of an additional gratuity not worth the food. Not even the American basic food was good. Not a large selection of style or type of food. Very basic very plain steak I was unimpressed and would not recommend or return. Go spend your money at mortins or something else

BUFFET IS TRASH! Went there today 7/27/25. Not much selection. Most of the food was tasteless I had one lobster and it was rubbery. The crab legs were very salty. Don’t waste your money not worth paying $62 (including tax) for trash food! Even the dessert bar was disappointing!

I really loved today’s experience! I went there last year but found the lobsters too salty. But today I came again, they were perfectly cooked and we enjoyed our meal with unsweetened tea. The lobster tails were delicious.

I had company from out of town and it was my Birthday so we decided to go to the seafood buffet. It was Friday night at about 5:30. I thought their food selections were limited. I am not a lobster fan, I wanted steak or prime rib. They had briskit and tri tip that were not edible. Tough and fatty and not sliced right. They had no horse radish sauce. The salad bar had 3 kinds of lettuce, beets and baby corn. That was it. Our guests enjoyed the lobster tails. The whole lobsters weren’t flavorful. The bbq ribs tasted like they were cooked the day before. Price is $58. For that price I had frozen breaded shrimp and mashed potatoes. I was so disappointed. The Atlantis buffet is cheaper with quadruple items to choose from.

I spent an hour watching people at a buffet restaurant while waiting to get in, and I was honestly shocked by what I saw. Most customers piled up their plates with all kinds of food way more than they could ever finish. Their tables were overflowing, yet they kept going back for more.
It’s clear many of them don’t understand basic eating etiquette. The right way to enjoy a buffet is simple: take only what you can finish, eat it, then go back for more if you’re still hungry. Wasting food is not only disrespectful, it’s also a really bad habit.
And when someone points this out, the usual response is, “I paid $50, I can do what I want.” But paying doesn’t give anyone a free pass to waste. That kind of mindset needs to change.

Wow was this bad. Wife and I drove 4 hours in traffic on a holiday weekend for this. Whole lobsters were hit and miss. Some were dry some ok. Same with the Tiny lobster tail. Chicken wings also super dry. Eggplant parm was made with can sauce… or tasted like it. Carbs were pretty good. Crab knuckles super dry. Meat was flavorless. Staff was super nice but that isn’t enough for us to come back. Very Very overpriced.

Nice restaurant for buffet. Must go eat. Enjoy good food and vibe, plus a casino is wrapped around you, so go Winnnn some MONEY!
The buffet was so tasty, we had a great time, and our waitress was very nice, and kept our drinks filled, can’t wait to eat here again.

My Family went to the Harvest Buffet on November 7th for the so called ADVERTISED Surf & Turf Snow Crab Buffet. Once we were seated we went to get the snow crab and to our disappointment it was replaced with cheap small looking rock crab which was awful. I spoke to the manager and she said they changed the menu, there was no mention of this when we paid, at this time my family had already started to eat, so I just let it go and just decided to stay and eat. All the food that night what awful and bad quality. Hard Rock continued to advertise Snow Crab for surf and turf on Thursdays for nearly 2 weeks after this and never changed their advertising on their website. Now they advertise it as Surf and Turf with crab not specifying what crab they will be serving. SO IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO GO TO THE BUFFET FOR SNOW CRAB, BEWARE YOU WILL END UP VERY DISAPPOINTED. We followed up and sent an email to [email protected] prior to leaving this review to give Hard Rock a chance to make it right and till this day we have had no reply. In all it was false advertising and they just don't care about their customer service or satisfaction.

I came here for my birthday dinner last night because I was expecting snow crab, not crap crab (rock crab). We came here for my husband's birthday and our anniversary, both on Thursdays. Yesterday's Surf and Turf sucked and my birthday was ruined. I can't believe I chose to have my birthday there instead of Red Hawk's AYCE crab buffet, which I just ate at last month. I don't know why I even traveled 45 minutes to Hard Rock just to be disappointed. Not even worth the drive.

I celebrated a birthday with friends and wish they had chosen a different buffet. We were quite disappointed. After visiting many casino buffets, I found this one to be lacking. The selection was limited compared to other options in the area, and the quality of the lobster and snow crab legs felt more like farm-raised than restaurant-grade.
