    The food was bland and tasteless. They are afraid to season the food. The crab legs were terrible. They were overcooked and mushy. The shrimp were small and mushy. The crawfish were tiny. Should not eat those little bits.

    Lobster on a buffet. Nice!!

    Nothing short of amazing! I mean, this place has really impressed me with their Mother's Day Brunch. As my first time here, I enjoyed everything offered...from the mimosas upon entering, to the food, ambiance and the highlight of the evening, the amazing saxophonist, Jordan Chaldean. Oh my goodness, he elevated the experience to heights unimaginable. The music was absolutely stunning, the food was hot, fresh and delicious and the service was excellent. Our server Nicole was the best! I will say that their buffet line is nowhere near as big as the Silver Slipper but their hospitality sure tops them any day. Their dessert bar is one huge 3/4 circle of deliciousness and then the salad bar covering the other 1/4....womp, womp, womp! LOL! Salad is a good thing, never mind me LOL Anyway, I'd certainly return and would recommend others to visit as well.

    Love the crunchy shrimp!

    They had me at crab legs n lobster! This buffet was well worth the ride to Bay St Louis. We got here when it opened at 2:30. Food was fresh and delicious. They no longer require reservations so there was already a line when we arrived. Cashiers are fast so we got in pretty quickly. There was a nice selection of food and desserts. Crab legs were well seasoned and my steak was a perfect med rare. The lobster was a bit rubbery but the overall buffet was still pretty great. Although masks arent required, it would have been nice if those serving the food were wearing one..covid aside..that just seems more sanitary to me. Will be back fo sho!

    The Dungeness crab is as big as my plate.  The warm drawn butter and the easy to crack crabs are outstanding!

    Although there is plenty of competition in the realm of casino buffets, I still really enjoy Epic Buffet. Even on Saturday night, there's not a long line or challenge dealing with masses of people. You might think, that would imply it's not that good, but it is, very good! On Wednesday through Sunday, that's when I have been and the price is $50. I know some consider that a bit steep but it's seafood and includes both snow crabs and Dungeness crabs. I've bought these frozen at the grocery store and spent so much more, they weren't good, they made fridge smell funny, and my garbage after a few days, it smelled of a rotting corpse - it's not worth the effort to eat these splendid crabs at home. Epic Buffet is the spot! The servers are nice, they are attentive, and you don't feel bad going through a dozen plates. The gumbo was great and the fried chicken, it was simply glorious, what dreams are made of and I had plenty. I'm sure my sodium level and blood pressure is sky high but this great meal, it was worth it. I drive from Mandeville and the 45 minutes driving home, I reflected on how great their buffet was tonight. Strangely, I don't care for buffets too often but this one, it hits the spot.

    The casino is quite nice looking. The buffet area looked clean and very large. Not a lot of decoration, or anything interesting to look at. The waiting line was long when we got there, but moved along pretty quickly. The food selection was ok.... not as much as I thought there would be. The quality of the food was not great, in my opinion. It didn't taste bad, but it didn't taste great either. The boiled shrimp had a slimy feel to them, and the desserts weren't fresh tasting at all. The crab, however, was awesome! They had snow crab and dungeness, and they served it to you in buckets on the buffet line. Just pick up a bucket or two, and go . The waitress was very good about taking away the dirty plates, and was very friendly. The tables were just not conducive to having enough room for three people to eat though. What with the buckets of crab, the dirty plates, and the plate you were still eating on... it was just a mess. I'd probably go back again, but only because of the crab legs.

    Everything on their bar looks and taste good, its $40 per person comes with drink. Its high but its worth it. All you can eat crablegs and lobster

    Snow crab legs royal reds, sirloin steak, prime Rib. Delicious

    Talk about a hidden gem...arrived here for a Saturday lunch on our way to somewhere else we had…read morechosen for lunch. Had to make a u-turn, and seeing them right across from the u-turn, decided to give it a try. In the parking lot of a small local hotel with LOTS of pickup trucks in the parking lot (usually a good sign), we went. Seated immediately in a surprisingly spacious well lit, comfortable interior. Lots of tables already filled. Drink orders were taken and brought quickly. Took us much more than a minute to make a decision, but we had a very patient server. I opted for a cup of the Crab & Corn Bisque with a crab finger appetizer for my meal. Husband went with catfish plate with hush puppies, onion rings & baked macaroni. The bisque was unlike any other I have ever tasted; it was complex, lacking potato chunks (this is a good thing) and simply delicious! I could not put my finger on the difference, but man, it's a must try! Crab fingers were plentiful, cooked just right with lots of meat. Husband's catfish had good flavor, hush puppies were fine and onion rings were onion rings. I have to admit - I would have eaten a whole tray of that baked macaroni if someone let me. Portion sizes are perfect, lots of menu choices, quick check out, attentive service and a price tag of $60 with tax for our 2 drinks and meal. Will definitely frequent when in the area.

    Grits and shrimp. Service always good to great…read more Food was perfect. Different from other restaurants grits and shrimp. Grit cake is tasty, shrimp are properly sized and seasoned deliciously. Our waitress is knowledgeable with menu content explaining and answering questions and providing info concerning any health issue with ingredients. Yes we will be back. Ambiance?

Surprisingly there was just a short wait. The menu was well laid out and had a verity of items. The dining area was old world which gave it a nice ambiance. I had the steak salad and the wife had fried Shrimp. She was very pleased to see the quaintly and the size of the shrimp. The salid was very filling and had an adequate amount of stake that was tender and delicious. The hush puppies were good but the wife didn't care for the coleslaw. I tried both and found that I didn't care for the slaw either. We both ordered 1/2 & 1/2 tea and were not disappointed. It tasted fresh. The meals were a little on the pricy side, but without a doubt we got what we paid for. We will definitely be back. If your in the area, give them a try.
