We celebrated our 52nd Anniversary. Excellent service. Upscale ambience. The steak and lobster was prepared perfect. Delicious.
We had a beautiful dinner on Friday night. We always feel so welcomed by GiGi, and our server Marlene, and Elliott is so friendly and happy to assist with whatever we need during our dinner. We were celebrating 2 birthdays because we don't get together often. Marlene and Elliott brought us dessert and coffee. Food was great, and Larry makes a great manhattan.
We chose Buckinghams for a bday celebration. I liked that there were items priced from $15 items up to $$$$. We get there and are told you have to sit in the bar area if you want to order the less expensive items. You can only sit in the main restaurant if you order much more expensive items like steak or seafood. Bait and switch. Sat in the bar area which is bare bones and open to the lobby of the casino. We ordered 5 different entrees plus appetizers and drinks. Our server was nice but was serving the entire restaurant himself so our service was very slow and nobody came around to bus our table until we asked them to. Not at all what we were expecting and I was embarrassed to find out the strange seating policy in front of our guests. The food was very good but we wont be back.
Great food, ALWAYS!!! Great service, ALWAYS!!! Highly recommend family and friends, to try this place out. It never disappoints. My personal recommendation, is their Chateaubriand
Not sure if there's a new chef, or changes to recipes, but the same dish I had last time I dined here paled in comparison this time. Dissapointing
A steakhouse that can't cook a steak not good over cooked dry and tasteless I liked the soup and my wife liked the salad that was it.
It was our first time, service was good. It is an old time Chicago type steak house. The food was good.
Our dinner was top notch on 5/3/25. Service was great, food came out at a nice pace. Everything was at a nice hot edible temperature. Will be back again.
Seated very quickly. Food arrived very fast and very hot. The drinks were good and the ambiance a nice touch. Our waiter was very observant and helpful in deciding on our dishes. It was a pleasant dining experience
Great place food was excellent and at a great price. Will be back to try other things on the menu.

It took quite a while for us to get our drinks. I had to send my Martini back because it wasn't made correctly - so another wait. I believe the service wasn't up to par because there was not enough servers available. My husband and my potatoes were cold and my meat was grissly. Sorry to say we will not be returning. Sad because there are so few nice restaurants to choose from in our area.
Wonderful Waitress. Loved the atmosphere. The food doesn't seem to be high quality meats. I've eaten there 3X and keep hoping the food will be better quality. The meat is on the tougher side snd you need to chew it a lot. Not tender.
The food and service was as expected. Some items were a bit strange, perhaps showing the limitations of the kitchen. Beef carpaccio was drizzled with a sweet balsamic glaze which is a first for me. It takes away from that entire experience. Some greens with a touch of lemon would have been profoundly better. There is also a warning that your beef wellington will come served medium (which it did) although i would prefer medium rare. Service slowed down a bit after the main course and we waited awhile before server reappeared. Overall a decent place for the area, and the food was seasoned well.
I just love the steakhouse restaurant in casino.
The menu has been expanded. Good quality and portions. They free pour a good drink. Larry the bartender has a great sense of humor. Gigi the hostess always does her best to accommodate your request.
