    3 solid stars for the lobster buffet on Thursday night. Lots of lobster and crab legs which I'd give an "ok" but not great quality standard too. For the lobster the full lobsters were better than the tails- I'm guessing the tails were previously frozen? The meats were just ok. Thumbs down for the brisket which I thought was tough. But the bbq ribs were decent and the chicken wings surprisingly good. They had a sweet potato dish that was outstanding. They also pressure you to tip upwards of 18-20% which is excessive for a buffet. They had a good selection of ice cream but the quality was just ok. The dole pineapple soft serve was amazing. One thing I didn't love was how expensive the buffet is for kids. My 4 year old's dinner was $60- by far the most expensive meal she has ever had... even though she barely ate.

    Not good, unsure if it was due to the heavy volume of people going due to the fact that it was lobster night, without a shadow of a doubt one of the most over hyped establishments i have ever been to, the food was MEDIOCORE for the price, lobster was dry and chewy, the lobster mac and cheese was covered in oil. The brisket was over cook and rubbery barely had any flavor, the desserts were all lacking in flavor and had zero WOW factor. All of the main foods were just basic food that was "elevated" to match the guise of quality. For 80 dollars per person i expected so much more then what was given as offerings for food, again maybe i had gone in on a wrong night and it was an off day for them. Very basic selection of foods foe the price, the design of the AYCE is modern and clean but lacks a different look from the buffets that its trying to compete with aka the bacchanal buffet which offers a similar designed seafood night for only 11.99 more, and i can assure the larger selection and quality of food is worth the 11.99 per person. I really wanted to enjoy this buffet as i had booked almost 2 months in advance, but the cost to value and quality is just not there for me personally i would love to try again and have a different experience but i cant justify the price to try again. The stand out was my server i cant remember his name but he was excellent and on top of everything, my tables libations were never depleted before he was offering more and my table was clean, shout out to him for making other wise not so great visit tolerable. Please give that man a raise or tip him more! Final verdict Food - 3/10 Service - 10/10 Atmosphere - 6/10 If these reviews are responded to i would love to speak with someone to address my concerns. Attached are the photos of my unfinished deserts that were not very flavorful

    Cocktail shrimp; yum!

    I am impressed. For the price, the food is great. I came here for Sunday brunch. The line was long, but it moved decently fast. There is great variety, and while the overall food quality is still not comparable to Wynn and Bacchanal, at half the price (or less), it is still very solid buffet food. The price per person in June 2026 was $42.99. The meat at the carving stations were high quality; the ham was tender and juicy although a bit saltier than I prefer. The tri tip was also really good (though it was a bit more well done than I would like). Still, it was very tender. Overall, I enjoyed most items I got. I was also pleasantly surprised by the quality of their fruit. Their honeydew in particular was so sweet and tasty! I'm normally not a fan of cantaloupe and honey dew, which seem to be buffet staples. However, if all the honey dew tasted like this, I would always eat it. Also, shoutout to our awesome server Belinda. She was friendly, attentive, and efficient! She definitely added to our overall experience. Overall, I can see the reason this buffet has such a high rating, and I would happily eat here again.

    Went right at 3pm for the lobster buffet. Took about 30 minutes to be seated. Not bad for not having a reservation. Crab was a little hard to peel but not too salty. There's half lobster tails and whole lobsters. They're very generous with all the portions. Got a whole plate of crab in one go! Prime rib and smoked brisket were top notch. Salvador took care of us and was great and attentive

    Came in on a Saturday a little after 1 PM for the brunch buffet. No line, nice and spacious, and our server greeted us with a smile, so I thought we were off to a good start. Then I hit the buffet... and started wondering what happened to this place. My favorites were gone...no lobster rolls, no NY steak. Okay, fine, I'll try something else. Big mistake. Most of the food was cold and bland. The ramen tasted watered down, and the noodles were broken into tiny pieces. Then I grabbed some crab legs... wow. They used to have big clusters, but now they're tiny. What the heck is going on? This buffet used to be worth the trip, but now it feels like they're cutting corners everywhere. Pretty disappointing.

    AYCE is my go to buffet in Vegas. It's reasonably priced and has a decent variety. They also have unlimited snow crabs and champagne/mimosas. For $50 per person including tax and tip, it's not bad compared to other buffets like the Wynn and Wicked Spoon. In terms of taste, some items are delicious and some are mediocre. This was my first time back in a couple of years and I believe the quality has went down a bit. Maybe I went a bit too late during brunch since we didn't get seated until 1 pm, an hour before they stop brunch service. Service was excellent. Our server was very kind and attentive and made sure our glasses were always topped off. There is plenty of seating inside the buffet. Lines do get long because it's a popular buffet. Parking is free out in front or in the parking structure. Would recommend if you're looking for a reasonably priced buffet!

    I See Food. We ventured to the AYCE buffet this past March 2026 for their Lobster dinner. NOTES 1. AYCE is located at the Palms Casino. Self-parking available in their garage. 2. The Lobster dinner (per signage at the buffet check-in counter) is on Wednesday and Thursday from 3:00pm to 10:00pm. Cost as of our visit in March 2026 was $79.99 for adults. 3. Reservations are recommended. I believe we made the res for 6:00pm, but we showed up slightly before 5:30pm and we were all allowed to be seated as long as everyone in the party was present. 4. The buffet isn't large when compared to other buffets on the Vegas Strip, i.e. Bacchanal at Caesars or Wicked Spoon as the Cosmopolitan. Well, shall we get to the point? One wants to know about the food, right? The buffet was ok IMHO. Again, it's a smaller buffet, as the Palms is not a Vegas strip property/hotel. Therefore, I suspect they have these special/unique buffet themes to attract diners that are not guests of the Palms. (I.e., there is a prime rib and snow crab dinner on Friday nights). Though we were dining specifically for the lobster, the AYCE has your standard buffet fare, including: salads, fruits, meats, pasta, chicken, etc. We clearly gravitated more towards the lobster, and we mostly returned for the lobster and other seafood TBH. I went back for more lobster, shrimp cocktail, sushi, and salads and fruits. I also tried the pepperoni pizza purely out of curiosity (some YouTubers say buffet pizza is fairly decent). Desserts were also available, as expected, but nothing noteworthy....I don't think I even took any pics of the dessert section. SERVICE It was ok. Our server checked on us throughout the meal. I did appreciate she took the time to clear our table regularly. BOTTOM LINE A decent experience at AYCE. Since it's off the strip, I wouldn't make a special trip or go out of my way to the Palms to dine here, unless I was a guest at the hotel. One and done for me.

    Part of Palm Casino. Free parking! Came here for Brunch on Sunday. $42.99 per person which includes soft drinks/brewed coffee/ water. You pay upfront. The staffs were all very friendly. Brunch included prime rib and crab legs. Prime rib was juicy and tender. Crab legs not too salty. Food quality: some were great; some were so so, just like any other buffets. Ice cream station: just okay. No sugar added cakes are available. Dole Whip: It's a must!!!!! Overall, worth it for the price paid.

    3/5 We visited A.Y.C.E. Buffet for Lobster Night after making our reservation back in April, so our expectations were high. Unfortunately, the experience was just average. Even with a reservation, we waited 5 to 10 minutes because reserved guests and the waitlist shared the same check-in line, creating confusion and frustrated customers. The lobster tails were good, but the claws were dried out. The brisket was flavorful, while the lobster mac and cheese was greasy and mediocre. Desserts appeared premade. Cleanliness was disappointing. Several plates had a greasy film, the dishes and silverware didn't always appear clean, my water had a black piece of debris floating in it, and it tasted bitter. The dining room and worn seating need updating, and the buffet felt chaotic with aggressive patrons. Our waitress was excellent, but for nearly $80 per person, we'd rather choose Fogo de Chão. We won't be returning.

    Salvador was very attentive and ensured we had a great experience. There are lots of food options so make sure to come prepared to eat!

    My family and extended family just had the Lobster dinner buffet at AYCE yesterday and I would have given a 4-star review based on the food quality and some questionable service from one of the meat carvers. However, our main server, Benjie, was exceptional and really made this a 5-star experience. The primary reason for tonight's visit was to try out the all-you-can-eat lobster but it ended up tasting a bit dry and rubbery and the whole lobsters were not properly prepared so the inner gut track were still present. I'm well aware that for an AYCE lobster buffet, I shouldn't expect succulent, world-class lobster but I do have to provide an honest review and this lobster was alright. What did make up for the lobster quality was the variety (whole or tails) as well as the delicious snow crab that was probably my favorite shellfish out of all the options. The other dishes that stood out for me were the lobster mac and cheese, poké, brisket, pork ribs, and pasta bar. The desert selection was decent but the Dole Whip machine was a big hit with our family. Overall, for a vegas buffet, this did not disappoint and the fact that self-parking is free at the Palms makes this a decent buffet option to try if you're looking for a seafood-centric option.

    Long wait for crab and prime rib day, but well worth the wait. The price wasn't terrible either. I ate so much crab legs that day. I'd love to do that again the ambiance was soooo nice for a buffet. I understand since it's a casino hotel but that was a great experience.

    Crab legs, Tri tip and mimosa.

    See all
