    This place is a joke. First of all, you have to be a blue card member, before you can even go there. Second you don't really get a deal, on the price of the food. Go Jamul casino, they don't discriminate because of card status.

    Service is always slow. Not sure why they don't make it into a traditional buffet, would be so much better if you could get your own food. The food itself is mediocre at best. Also, they say you need to pay a $7 "tip" ahead of time before you eat. Newsflash, that is a service charge. Not a tip. And it gives no incentive for the servers to give good service.

    We checked in at the Buffet Host at 4 pm. We were informed the wait to get the text to stand in line will be approximately 2 to 2.5 hours. At around 7:30 pm we got the text to stand in line. We all had to be present to stand get in line, which took 1.5 hours. At 9 pm (5 hours later), we finally sat down to eat. You can only order 4 items at a time. At 9:20 the water and sodas arrived. At 9:45 the first order of lobsters and steak arrived. They were room temperature. I ordered sides of mash potatoes and mushrooms, which arrived around 10 pm after I already finished eating the main course. Maybe they are not so quick to deliver food right away because we already paid the mandatory tip collected when we paid for dinner. They also forgot some of the food we ordered and forgot to refill our drinks, which we had to keep asking someone to bring to us. Needless to say, this was the worst experience I ever had.
