4 Best Buffets in Reno

“This is an all-you-can-eat sushi bar for 32.99, located in the Skywalk at the Atlantis Casino. You can order and watch the expert chef prepare it right at the bar. Great atmosphere on the scenic skywalk with 360-degree mountain views and Virginia St traffic passing below. The long roll entrees are works of art, almost too beautiful to eat, but they are delicious! My favorite was the mussels on the half shell. Don't miss this spot when you're in Reno!“

“I recently visited Toucan Charlie's Buffet & Grille, and it turned out to be one of the more impressive buffet experiences I’ve had in Reno. Located inside the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, the restaurant is known locally for offering a large and diverse buffet, and it generally lives up to that reputation. The dining room is spacious and lively, with multiple food stations arranged in a way that allows guests to move through the buffet comfortably without feeling overly crowded.

One of the most noticeable strengths of Toucan Charlie’s is the sheer variety of food available. The buffet offers a wide selection that includes seafood, carved meats, international dishes, comfort food, and an extensive dessert station. Rather than feeling like a generic buffet, the stations are organized so guests can explore different cuisines, which adds a sense of discovery to the experience. The seafood section was particularly notable, with options such as crab legs and shrimp that appeared fresh and well maintained throughout the service period.

The carving station also stood out. The roasted meats were sliced to order and retained good moisture and flavor, which is often where buffets struggle. The sides and hot dishes generally maintained good temperature and presentation, indicating that the kitchen staff were actively monitoring and replenishing the buffet rather than letting items sit too long.

The dessert area was another highlight of the meal. There was a wide assortment of pastries, cakes, and small desserts that were attractively displayed and easy to sample without committing to a large portion. Buffets often treat desserts as an afterthought, but here the selection felt thoughtfully prepared and well executed.

Service throughout the restaurant was efficient and professional. Staff members were attentive in clearing plates and refilling drinks, which helped maintain a comfortable dining pace even during busy service periods. The environment itself had a lively energy consistent with a casino restaurant while still feeling organized and well managed.

Overall, Toucan Charlie’s Buffet & Grille offers a strong buffet experience that balances variety with consistent food quality. While buffets rarely reach the technical refinement of traditional restaurants, Toucan Charlie’s does an admirable job maintaining freshness, organization, and attentive service across a very large selection of dishes. For visitors to Reno looking for a buffet with both range and reliability, it is definitely a worthwhile stop.“
