It's been awhile since we were back the casino. The last time we ate at the buffet which was about…read morea year ago we were quite impressed! Thee food was fresh and the looked very good. We recently came back and it is not what it use to be, the food looks cookie cutter or out of the box. Maybe someone is trying to cut corners. We will give it another try but I have to say it was on par with ponderosa

I had been to the Odawa casino once, long before their luxurious rebuild and remodel, but I remembered that the buffet was quite yummy. We stopped for a little break and were well rewarded. The casino is lovely and spacious with ample parking as well. The lunch we enjoyed at the buffet was reasonably priced and satisfying. The salad bar was exceedingly fresh and many options to build your own salad were offered, with many yummy dressings to match. The entrees as well were satisfying. I particularly enjoyed the chicken fingers and freshly prepared soups offered. The desserts were hit or miss. The whipping cream on some offerings was sort of unappetizing and dried out. That's okay, I simply chose baked goods instead. Service was wonderful and attentive, the facility was sparkling clean and the meal was satisfying and reasonably priced. I highly recommend this establishment for cleanliness, tasty food and stylish decor at a reasonable price.

The food is the worst part. There was a mix of Asian and Mexican. Make your own tacos and nachos is…read morea good idea. There was an option for crab legs ($20 extra) and you could tell some cooks to make a bowl of pasta. What made this bad was quality and quantity. If there had been more options or better quality, it would've been nice. Cakes were hard on the outside, pie was just canned pie filling with a premade crust cracker, Mexican foods were dry and rank below store bought premade. Service was good- for the single waitress working at dinner time. She was stressed and struggling. Ambiance was fine. It was clean and looked like it was a better quality place than it was. Overall, it's probably a fine place to eat if you're drunk and having fun, but don't go out of your way to eat here.

Season's Buffet is one of 3 food options in the Turtle Creek casino. The cost of the buffet is…read more$19.99 on Thursdays and Saturdays. You can add crab legs for $19.99/lb. Saturday's buffet menu is advertised as American BBQ. Friday's menu features crab legs and prime rib and costs $49.99. We went on a Thursday, and the menu was advertised as "international cuisine from Asia, Italy, and South America ". The actual food selection was general tso's chicken, orange chicken, egg rolls, crab Rangoon, Korean tofu and vegetables, chicken tikka Marsala, beef tamales, build your own tacos and nachos, a salad bar, a made to order pasta station, and desserts. The food ranged from mediocre to terrible, with the best choices being the pasta station, the salad bar, and the banana pudding. Our server did a good job of taking away dishes and keeping drinks filled. I honestly couldn't recommend the Thursday buffet. Maybe Friday and Saturday nights are better?

It's honestly been a few months since we went here but I can't recommend this place enough…read more Me and the family spent a week up there back in the summer and hit up this place at least twice. The pizzas are delicious. The fish and chips were the freaking bomb. The fried mushrooms were perfect. The cheese bread was that really on point cheesy, with that deep dish appeal. The cheese curds (or whatever they're called) ... oh man. Seriously, we're talking about them tonight and wish we were up there.

Then she said "oh you said 7 inch and most people order by size " OMG we literally did !! Personal 7 inch is pretty clear Anyway I was nice and asked for price difference and she was very rude and dismissive saying "ma'am I'm going to put you down for a free personal pizza I'm really busy" then hung up!!! Rude very rude

I asked the waitress what she recommends and she said the Alfredo sauce is homemade and delicious. I ordered chicken Alfredo pasta. It came with a side salad and garlic bread. There was SO much sauce- which I am someone who likes a lot of sauce so I liked it, but even I thought it was a lot of sauce. We also got the cheesy Mac bites appetizer. You could taste the smoked Gouda inside of them! One friend got the hot Turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and the other friend got a flatbread pizza. We all enjoyed our food!! The portions are huge. The service is quick and friendly. Nice ambiance in the restaurant. Overall, I'd definitely eat here again!

The atmosphere was a bit quiet and empty but then again we went at 4pm. Thea was absolutely amazing, she was so sweet and funny, she was also very kind to the other staff! I would 100% recommend Pancake Chef Restaurant if you ever go to Mackinaw city! :)

New owners not the same restaurant…read more Went there not realizing there had been a change in ownership. Walking into the place and seeing a full service bar was a shock. Not having the buffet was another shock. Menu stated one thing but the meal was something else in the POS. Not sure how they have eggs Benedict on the menu but can't make a poached egg. Pancakes were very small, for it to be named pancake chef and they can no longer make a good pancake is a shame. Menu stated homemade strawberry jam but unless their home is smuckers there was nothing home about it. Hash browns were not edible. They were gray and dripping with greasy. Absolutely zero crisp to them. Ordered sausage thinking sausage links. I got a hockey puck shaped sausage patty. They are turning this place into something it is not. Pancake Chef was an establishment that shouldn't have a bar or live music. This is no longer the pancake chef!

Buffets kill me because if they're good I just wish I could bring a spare stomach. We started with a variety of fresh sushi, seconds from the other side, egg roll, shrimp in at least 5 or 6 treatments, green beans, chicken, pepper steak, etc. Finished off with various fresh and canned fruit slices including lychees, puddings, cakes. Just the thing to top off the main courses. I give it 4.5 stars due to the lackluster decor. But the wait staff is friendly and not pushy. No silly masks either. People are smiling again. Hooray!!! I forgot to take photos I was so hungry that all I could think about was biting in. Prices are reasonable because you can eat yourself to death here. Totally worth it compared to a lot of what's out there these days.

It was the first time for us going there and the food wasn't bad... but some of the food on the buffet was cold. I got stuff for the Mongolian grill they have there to have the cook stir-fry it for me... he cooked/stir-fried what I gave him on the plate, but it wasn't cooked all the way through. Also, I LOVE hot mustard, and I like to mix it into my food, but all they had was packets of hot mustard that were jellied and tasted horrible. They need to make fresh hot mustard, NOT packets!!! I lived in Florida for 20 years, so I know good crawdads and what they should taste like, I also know how to cook them with good seasonings... but the crawdads/crabs they had on the buffet were horrible tasting and over cooked!!! My biggest complaint would be no fresh "Hot Mustard"... and the cook on the Mongolian grill needs to learn how to stir-fry.
