County Fair Buffet at Tioga Downs Casino Resort offers a lunch buffet starting at noon, but be prepared for a wait, especially if arriving at opening time. The buffet selection has remained unchanged, and the quality has decreased over time. Some popular items, like turkey at the carving station, are occasionally missing. The food is often lukewarm, and dishes such as hotdogs, hamburgers, and dried-out chicken breast are consistently underwhelming. However, the salad bar and soda are highlights, and the crablegs are a notable exception, with some batches better than others. The desserts, including the Boston Cream pie, can be hit-or-miss. The restaurant has wheelchair accessibility and offers parking options, including a shuttle bus from the open lot. Recently, visitors noted that the buffet is reasonably priced for both dinner and breakfast, sometimes costing as little as $10 for two people with a hotel discount. The food tastes better than it looks, and service is generally good, though it can vary. The atmosphere was very nice in 2006, but as the resort approaches its 20-year mark, some feel it could benefit from updates and remodeling. Despite this, the location remains convenient and is the only place of its kind nearby. The owner, Jeff Gural, is appreciated for his contributions to the community, including jobs, donations, and increased tourism in the area. The buffet provides a wide selection of foods, with a decent salad bar, though there is not much for those with dietary issues. Staff members are friendly and helpful.
