- MOMichele De La O2 days ago1.0We visited Monarchs Buffet for Brunch and the food was great. My husband and I took my Parents for my Dad’s birthday. Upon leaving we decided to grab a dessert from the dessert area. We enjoyed our dessert in the dessert area a left a plate on the table since our table had already been cleaned. As we are walking away Laura came out screaming at us the take the plate we left on the table because that table was clean. We advised Laura that the table we came from was already clean. She continued to yell at us that she didn’t care to take it and put it on “our” clean table??? Umm ok …. Way to ruin the last moments of our visit. Very rude and disrespectful. Especially since it cost a pretty penny to eat there. Would imagine the service would be top notch. We ended up just leaving the casino since that is very embarrassing to be screaming across a buffet.
- DGDakota GennettenDec 8, 20254.0Some of the food was absolutely amazing but others weren't. I loved the cheesecake and mexican food but the pumpkin pie had a really weird texture and flavor. My cheeseburger was a burnt to a crisp. Overall the food was good. I dont know that it was worth the price tag though. If you eat seafood I'm sure its a must-have.
- GBGrace BellosoNov 16, 20255.0Hemi and Vic were awesome! They made us feel special on our anniversary and treated us like royalty. Would 10/10 recommend this place! It's great for celebrating special occasions!
- FYForouzan YalmeNov 14, 20251.0If i could i would give 0 star ! Worst buffet experience we’ve ever had. We went to the buffet at Monarch Casino and paid $60 per person. We didn’t even put most of the food on our plates .we tried one or two small things just to see, and everything was terrible. The food was not fresh, dry, old, and had no taste at all. In the end, we only had one orange juice, paid $130, and left. That should tell you how bad the food was. There was literally nothing we could eat. Not worth $5, let alone $60 per person. Never again.
- CLChangseok LeeOct 27, 20251.0Stayed at the resort and decided to try out the buffet. $60 per person and probably the worst food I’ve ever had in my life. Choice are pretty limited. Brisket was extremely dry and seemed like it had been sitting out for a while. The Pho and everything in the Asian cuisine was extremely salty. Steak was alright, but nothing to brag about. The only thing I enjoyed was the Mac and cheese and the salmon. Desert selection seemed decent. I’ve been to the grill on the casino floor a few times and that place seems to be much better in food quality and service.
