I was here last year and the buffet for breakfast and dinner was excellent. Came this year and the breakfast buffet was awful, cold food most and of it was inedible, I wish they would give you little containers of syrup instead of pouring it into a cup because it's nothing but water.
The dinner buffet was just as bad. There wasn't much to choose from, the first time I got turkey off the carving station, it was good but when they put the second turkey up it tasted like soap....read full review

The food is never really great there. I went for breakfast, the sausage and bacon was real greasy, the egg omlette was excellent. The waitress wasn't very friendly I would say go to Coasters, much better food and service.
I unfortunately come back once a year or so and it is consistent in that the food is of poor quality. In the past I wrote to management to contact me because it was so bad and I was never contacted. Most of the meats were very dried up. Thank goodness for the salty gravy to moisten the meats. The pot roast looked like mostly fat. The deserts were pretty bad too. The going joke with family and friends is that Burger King is a whole lot better, and it is. I think this visit sealed...read full review

County Fair Buffet at Tioga Downs Casino Resort offers a lunch buffet starting at noon, but visitors should expect a wait, especially at opening time. The buffet selection has remained the same, and the quality has declined over time. Some popular items, like turkey at the carving station, are sometimes 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 being 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. Recent reviews mention that the buffet is worth it, with decent food and a little of everything, and it offers discounts for seniors and military every day. Thursdays feature all-you-can-eat crab legs, and Fridays and Saturdays include steak, shrimp, or prime rib. However, some visitors found the buffet overpriced for special occasions like Mother’s Day, citing long waits, understaffing, and disorganized service stations. Suggestions include having plates out instead of in cubbies, more silverware available, and creating a dedicated wheelchair accessible dining area.
