The Buffet at Ameristar Casino

As if the buffet were so good and cheap, you pay and if you don't eat quickly, they take your food away... why don't they just close at one?

Everyone at Ameristar Buffet was so kind and attentive — the service was genuinely wonderful, and the atmosphere was clean and inviting. It really should have been a great experience… but the food just wasn’t edible.

My partner and I tried a bite of nearly everything available, and the best we could describe anything as was “okay.” The mashed potatoes were gummy, the mac and cheese had no flavor at all, and the fried chicken was dry and bland. It honestly felt like hospital food.

I had gone specifically for the prime rib, but it was the toughest, most flavorless rib I’ve ever been served. The au jus was watery and nearly tasteless — thank goodness for the salt and pepper shakers on the table, though even those couldn’t save it.

The only thing that was passable were the potstickers — clearly frozen from a bag, but at least they came with sauce.

The staff didn’t even blink as they cleared our untouched plates and continued to be friendly and professional. Unfortunately, the food was so bad that we left genuinely shell-shocked. I don’t think I’d eat here again, even if it were free.

These reviews are wild. We had a great experience. They staff was so friendly and helpful. We had two 2 year olds and the staff was very accommodating and nice. The food was pretty good there were a couple items that could have been better like the corn was pretty over cooked and not edible and the ice cream very melty but the crab legs, orange chicken and pho were all great. Oh and the rolls were delicious! Overall had a great experience

Went for the BBQ and it was just okay. Ribs were NOT ribs which was disappointing! Why all the food just barely warm? No matter what you ate! Why were the rolls so wrinkly they looked days old? Plus, for $40 per person I expect better options for dessert. I dont want to spend $40 for a cookie. Plus, lots of meat options were chicken, chicken is cheap. Very low par considering the price. I was with 2 others and NONE of us have any intentions of going back!

I was so disappointed. A friend wanted a BBQ buffet for her birthday, so we came here. We spent $40.00 each and it was the worst food ever. Most everything was just luke warm. The chicken had a hint of pink to it, the cornbread was hard, and the macaroni and cheese had very little cheese in it and tasted like it came from a bag. I thought I would try a baked potato and when I unwrapped it, it was shriveled up like it had been sitting all day. The dessert selection was laughable. I will say the carrots were good and the green beans were amazing, but not worth $40.00.

Not worth it went there for crab leg day and for prime steak day and tbh the food is not. Good your better off going to golden coral, I’m glad I had cash back from players card and didn’t actually pay out of my pocket for it.

Dishwasher must be broken.... dirty dish every station...worst than a china buffet. GUY SERVE PHO at around 830pm didn't even want to serve.Just go home if you dont want to work .crazy how it's still survive in a casino.

Should never sit anyone near screaming \\ loud children when other options are available. Putting the responsibility on the customer is rude.
