The servers provided excellent service; however, I found the quality of the food to be disappointing. Unfortunately, the dishes were served cold, lacked flavor, and appeared excessively greasy. Given the price of $30 per person, I believe the dining experience did not meet expectations and was comparable to what one might find at a complimentary breakfast.

Went into the place right away at the register to pay the cashier lady was a little rude then we sat down with our first plate of food it sucked bad very salty dried out it didn't look appealing on the counters either no flavor other than salt on all the meat products and the desserts oh my gosh flavorless the soft serve ice cream had almost no flavor to it at all the best thing I had in the whole meal was The Root beer soda I will never go there again

Was a bit worried based on reviews - so my wife and I asked to view the buffet before entering and there were no objections by the staff. First off it’s a buffet - so I’ll use a chain buffet that I’m use to for comparison. I have a simple rule with buffet compared to a restaurant- buffets should be visited during peak hours and restaurants slightly off peak hours. Want to ensure the food is being refreshed continuously when dinning. Went during dinner hours. Quantity of items offered was less than that of a big city buffet restaurant but were in a small desert resort town so for me the selection was great, catering to all needs. The service is what I expected- drinks served and refreshed, empty plates removed- anything more required is outside of a typical buffet service. The seating area is amazing - panoramic view of river - great booth and table seating - everyone has a view. Very upscale feeling- but this might be the only problem I see - the food service area didn’t feel like it fit with the rest of the restaurant. I would guess this was not always a buffet- feels like it was converted to a buffet restaurant. Every time I went to the food area I felt like I was going to the employee kitchen area not the resort buffet. I think an upgrade of the buffet food area would really add to the overall experience. Was more like going to a fancy restaurant and having food served on paper plates. Visuals add to the perception of food quality overall - presentation is equally important as taste. A modernization of the food service area would greatly improve this restaurant. In the end service/staff was great, selection was good, food was good, price acceptable for what was provided, atmosphere was exceptional. Would enter again!

Had heard the Buffet had been improved. ...no. Most of the food was overcooked, and greasy. Hand Carved Beef was damn near impossible to slice with the provided butter knife. Chicken was beyond dead. Very Disappointed.

Riverside Buffet has real home cooked food along with a great staff who know how to take care of there guests. There is a variety of things to eat from Mexican to Chinese along with some old time favorite like stuffed cabbage rolls to sliced cold cuts and cheese and the fixings to make a sandwich if desired how ever big. Plus the salads and fruits along with deserts and ice cream. This is the only Buffet in Laughlin that has Brunch 7 Days a week 8am to 2pm and Dinner 5 nights a week. Closed on Sunday and Monday. Also had excellent Corned beef and cabbage for St Patrick's day. So if you want Buffet while in Laughlin this it the place.

Food sucks!

This is not what I was expecting for a buffet. Especially paying $45.00 for two people. The food was sitting. Some were fresh others, not. Some of the food was cold. The plates were dirty. The server was very unhappy about their job. The same is true with the hostess. If I had a choice. This would not be the place I would eat. Unhappy employees= Yucky food.
If you’re hungry this may be your place. If you are wanting a Vegas buffet experience… you might just want to go to Vegas. Service was good the food was so so. Salad bar was fresh.

Good view and service. The food is not the greatest, but you can't expect much from a cheap buffet. I don't recommend.

Friday seafood was a joke, everything was nasty except the tortelini salad. Go home and boil a hot dog, it will taste like steak compared to the buffet.

I've eaten here twice now in the last 2 months. I got diarrhea both times. Part of that could be related to the drinking I was doing at the time but it never happens anywhere else. I'm just saying, keep the imodium handy.
