Hemi 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!

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.

Stayed 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.

This is the best buffet that I have been to on a Sunday. The lobster and crab legs are cooked perfect and they give you several clusters! There is other food options as well and they are good too. ONE THING….EVERYWHERE should have diabetic friendly, sugar free options and this buffet does not.
