This is a special place to eat. Yes, tonight they have an ice sculpture up of an eagle. Where do you see extavagence like that these days without having to pay $50 or more per person? I gaze for a moment careful not to breathe to heavily next to it and melt it sooner than its time. Its not the steakhouse next door but value and variety and comfort/casual experience are the highlights here. Tiny little fancy desserts, a decent variety of meats and beautiful atmosphere for the price its hard to complain about anything. Cashiers, servers all friendly and helpful.

Took my Family here for Thanksgiving. We had a large party of 11 Adults and 3 children. The food selection was very minimal. There was turkey but it was not very good. It's cost $39.99 per adult. The bill was almost $500. Then we were charged 18% on top of that for tip. Other than them clearing the plates and getting us a drink the service was just ok. Almost a $90 tip for a Buffet is too much in my opinion unless the service was spectacular which it wasn't. If you plan to come here for Thanksgiving you may want to consider the other restaurants. The Buffett was overpriced and not worth it and we did not enjoy our Thanksgiving dinner. read more

Harvest buffet is located inside Cache Creek Casino and it's a nice looking restaurant as well. High ceilings to a large selection of food but quantity doesn't always equate to quality. I would say I enjoyed the basa fish the most with a squeeze of lemon and the french fries. Everything else was bland or really dry. One of the disappoints was the fried chicken which on the casino's website is listed as buttermilk fried chicken. I tried it and the chicken was dry and the batter was a bit funky. I think the restaurant uses a wet batter which ultimately does not create a good crunchy outer layer for the fried chicken. Other disappoints were the hand scooped ice cream which just tasted artificial and I doctored up my strawberry shortcake with some peanuts and ice cream to at least create a nice dessert to cap off my meal. Overall, the food was average and nothing blew my mind away but the service was great. I would say, eat at this buffet earlier in the day because I think the food would be more fresh than at the time my party and I went which was around 9:30pm. However, it is a good value at $9.99 a person. read more

I'd honestly give them a 3.5 if I could. It's not bad but not great enough to be a 4 star. The waitress we had was super nice, especially after I spilled my coke. Everything tastes decent, not cold and decent quality. The prime rib was pretty juicy and rare just how I like it! You should give it a try for sure if you're here and don't wanna leave. read more

Harvest Dining Hall - The New York steak.. Meh - American Near Me - Brooks, California

It's been years since I've been here. I came back here for thanksgiving today and the reopening of the buffet. The turkey was cold and very Very dry. Literally every single turkey that they brought out was cold and dry. Assuming 30 turkeys were precooked from last night is the only possibility. And for $40 per person, the items were very limited. Just your typical sides such as mash and gravy, stuffing, Mac n cheese and then the deep fried section, chicken strips, fish n chip, fried chicken. The only thing I'd like was the prime rib, it just came out so it was nice, tender and juicy. If the buffet continues to overcharge with limited items, $40 isn't worth it. Id go redhawk instead. read more

Just arrived to play after a long hiatus of abstaining from the casino and decided to make a pit stop to my usual destination upon arrival, being the buffet. And to my surprise it is no longer a buffet but more of a diner with about five options but nonetheless I decided to partake and give it a try.I ordered a buttermilk chicken sandwich and another in my party ordered a fish sandwich and what arrived was a chicken tender sandwich (notice that it is singular and not plural) and a fish stick sandwich. And although the misleading representation of the food provided wouldn't necessitate a review, the quality of the food served was some of the worst food I've eaten. The chicken tender in the sandwich, just shy of being rock hard, which clearly brings about the question as to if it's simply food that's been around waiting all day and reheated due to the lack of customers from the switch from buffet to diner. Pictures are below for reference. The 1 star is for the attentiveness and kind disposition of the waitress. read more

Well I don't expect a lot, we eat here often, but today's food quality for the Sunday buffet is just terrible and the staff are miserable. AND it's more money. Nothing here appears to be hand made except maybe the corn chips and salads. I wish I had gone to McDonalds. The entire kitchen staff is new... maybe the tribe is cutting costs to pay for that new North tower. Maybe it's just the standard poor management locals have come to expect; I don't know but I won't be eating here again for a long time, if ever. read more

Can't say I do AYCE buffets much anymore. This time it was for (as part of) a birthday for my nephew. Anyway, I've done a bunch of buffets in Las Vegas in the past. This one falls pretty much at the low end of the buffets you can get on the strip. There's no specialty here and it shows. That said, their spicy beef ribs were pretty good. Everything else was just okay (or worse) in my opinion. The buffet did have several stations that dispensed hand sanitizer. I thought this was quite nice. Our server was nice and checked up on us several times. She also was readily available to clear our used plates. So apart from the drifting wafts of cigarette smoke coming in from the casino floor and the food being quite forgettable, this place was quite nice. Of course this does not make for a good dining experience. But now Yelp know. (Yelp=you) read more

The cigarette smoke inside the buffet area was not as bad this time (YAY!!). However, we did experience pretty bad service. Our table was near one of the kitchen/dish washer rooms and our dirty plates would be stacked 3-5 plates before being picked up. We also needed to ask other waiters and waitresses for help -- crab shell cracker thing, refills, napkins, and the moist towelettes. For a an Easter lunch, the buffet was not full so I am really not sure why our assigned waitress would just stand around and not check in with us. I get it, it's not enjoyable to work a holiday, but sometimes ya need to fake it to make it. Despite the off service, the crab legs were amazing. I was expecting typical buffet food and Cache Creek pulled through for this Easter themed lunch. read more

A good friend of mine, his buddy, and I, all went for a joyride to Cache Creek Casino. My buddy figured it would be a good spot to catch up, relax, eat, drink and push our luck with the wallet. The weather was perfectly warm and sunny. We got there around twelve thirty'ish or so. After some chitchat and a few quick rounds at Club 88, we decided to grab some lunch here at Harvest Buffet. They had a $9.99 lunch & dinner buffet so it was a done deal! To top it all off my friend's buddy signed up for the free Cache Club Membership and received a twenty-five dollar dining credit. So we used both our CCM cards combined and paid zero. This restaurant was fairly bright, clean and can seat hundreds. They offered a good variety of buffet dishes which included American, Italian, Japanese, Mexican, Asian and Filipino. We all went about three rounds then happily surrendered. The fried chicken, turkey, BBQ ribs and made-to-order omelet were among some of my yummy favorites. Along with the usual desserts line up, they had ice cream and the bomb bread pudding and leche flan! If you're willing to up your ante, on Saturday nights they offer a $19.99 Steak & Shrimp dinner buffet special. Good all around service most especially with the free drink refills and plate clean up. Time to double down on that nap... read more

I haven't been to Cache Creek a lot over the years, but the first few times, my friends and I made a point of eating at Harvest Buffet. Not because of the food, but because of superstition. After our first trip ended with everyone winning money, we had to repeat the routine for good luck. Sure, it might be crazy, but only if it doesn't work! Fortunately for us, the food at Harvest Buffet actually wasn't bad back then (this was years ago). Their offerings are pretty typical of casino buffets (salads, fruits, pasta, Mexican, pizza, carvery meats, desserts, etc.), but with a larger than average section of Asian dishes (targeting a clientele much?). On Friday and Saturday nights, steak and shrimp are added to the menu, but the price for dinner gets spiked as well. While the selection may not have changed much, the quality has taken a relative dive (not that it started that high in the first place). Even by buffet standards, a lot of the food was overcooked, greasy (most of the Asian dishes), and short on quality. The carvery meats weren't all that great either (the prime rib was tough), and that's usually the best part of these buffets! Well, that and the desserts, but I don't have much of a sweet tooth. Besides how fresh the salads and fruits were, the only other positive about Harvest Buffet was our server and how often she came by to check on us. Pretty awesome, but not something worth coming here for. To be honest, while one of Cache Creek's other dining options might be a better choice (except Canyon Cafe), you might be better off eating before even making the drive out here. read more

On a whim, the family and I drove up Cache Creek Casino to check out the Harvest Buffet for Sunday brunch. First off-BE WARNED- this is not a "smoke free" facility. So when you walk from the casino lobby, all the way through the entire casino to reach the restaurant row area (they have quite a few eateries along the back wall), you'll inhale a pack's worth of second-hand smoke. You stand in a Disney style roped off line to get it, and pay for buffet up front (a bit like a Golden Corral, if you're familiar with the chain), and them you are seated. The buffet itself is MASSIVE! There are areas for Asian, Mexican, Italian, and American dining themes, as well as a salad bar. Since we were there around 11:00am on Sunday, there was also a breakfast item area. The quality of the food was just...meh! Several of the dishes were so over salted they my throat burned trying to swallow. A few items were pretty good though: I thought the chili rellano was nice, and the minestrone was tasty too. The pot stickers and the fried rice in the Asian section were ok, but everything else there was a nightmare of mushy crap. Our server was painfully, agonizingly slow, and drink refills were nonexistent. If, however, you simply must have a buffet style meal, and don't mind mediocrity, then by all means give Harvest a go. It's not my cup of tea, but it might be yours. read more

It's not a Vegas buffet, but Harvest Buffet is a lot better than a lot of other Bay Area/NorCal buffets. Dessert is not what they do well. Sampled a few different cakes and they all seemed pretty bland; those ice creams' flavors didn't pop out either. Got fresh deep fried potstickers, solid breakfast items, and a good veggie pesto pizza. Fried chicken was seasoned well and crunchy. I always enjoy a good sausage and this buffet provided it. And you got to love a buffet that serves tater tots to please the little kid or Napoleon Dynamite in all of us! He liked his prime rib slice; mine was more well done so I didn't finish it. As with many buffets there's varied cuisines - Asian, Italian, Mexican, American. Service was good (our waiter) but front of house was on the slow side to ring people up and sit people. Definitely come for lunch vs. dinner to get more of your money's worth. People can't be expecting the world when it comes to buffets, as they're about offering a lot of different items vs. the quality of a select menu. PLUS Vegas buffets set the bar, but this ain't Vegas; and even buffets there drop in quality and taste after awhile. read more

After we were done watching the Lao concert (Petch Saharat) on June 7th, we got hungry and decided we needed to find a place to eat. It was already 8:30 PM so it wouldn't make sense for us to drive out and look for food on our way home so we decided to find a place to eat inside the casino. The casino's marketing department is definitely on top of their game because they gave us each a coupon upon attending the concert that says we could get a free $25 dining credit for signing up for a new player's card at Cache Creek. So, off we go to the casino club desk & signed up for our players' card. After receiving our dining credit, we headed over to the Harvest Buffet, hoping to enjoy a decent meal since we read on Yelp that they have a good selection of prime rib and seafood, but little did we realize that it was only served on Fridays and Saturdays. Doh! No problem! We can eat other things since they have such a wide selection to choose from. Unfortunately, my optimism was served a giant plate of disappointment. How can they have nothing decent on the menu? All I could say was "thank God for dessert!" I enjoyed the flan and fruit tart very much, enough to convince my siblings to go and get their own and they also agreed that the dessert was the best part of our entire meal. But hey! A free meal is a free meal...it was just a really bad free meal! read more

We used to come here a lot on friday nights for their crab/seafood buffet. We especially loved the snow crab with drawn butter. But they changed menus and now offer a small boiled lobster and mostly removed the snow crab, only serving dungeness (too much work for too little meat). Disappointing. We switched to the harvest buffet from our regular trips to reno because it was an ok value for a shorter trip. I dont think i'll come back to this unless they add back the snow crab. I'd just as soon skip that lobster. I LOVE lobster, but not this little boiled thing. I think more people come now for the lobster but the crowd will dwindle once more people have tried it. The lemon meringue pie is fabulous, tho. The enchilada & the egg flower soup are decent, too, as are some of the salad and fruit items. Oh yeah if u have issues w smokers near your meals i would steer clear. They really need plexiglass barriers or a full wall between them and the rest of the casino, or keep the casino areas near the buffet nonsmoking. The smoke pours in. read more

On the other listing for Harvest, I gave a four star review for dinner. I would definitely visit in the p.m. This review is for Saturday morning breakfast/brunch: The buffet was unchanged from the night before. Almost every item was the same, with the addition of eggs, bacon, and sausage. (And the prime rib station had switched to omelettes). Service was a trainwreck. Our server mentioned how tired she was; more than once! And the omelette maker has no business working in a buffet. She was seriously making one at a time and had no comprehension of multi-tasking. Cheese needs to be melted before removing the omelette. You don't put it on and immediately plate. Not impressed. I was hoping for something I could put syrup on, but I settled for the same things I'd eaten 12 hours earlier. (Not that they were bad), but it should just be called lunch buffet with eggs. read more

For an $11 lunch buffet it wasn't bad. Of course, nothing stood out but thought reasonable. The food stations are fruit, salad, mexican (enchiladas) and nachos, italian (penne with marinara and chicken meatballs), bread, breakfast items (waffles, pancakes, omelette station), carving (turkey and sausage), asian (fried potsticker, chow mein, egg rolls, fried rice) and a dessert station The standout items were the fried chicked...simple, crunchy and juicy inside with no seasoning and the parmesan chicken in marinara in the italian section. Nachos weren't too bad with the fixings along with pork in green sauce. To me, the mini desserts look 'wow' when you see them but nothing stood out there either...cannolis, tapioca pudding, pies, flan, bread pudding and cobblers...all great to sample, but nothing made me get up for seconds. Wait staff great at replenishing drinks and bussing the plates. read more

Went to Harvest Buffet today (50% off for seniors) and should have gone to Asian Kitchen instead. The food at Harvest Buffet was cold and not very tasty. Very few breakfast items, not even any oatmeal nor pancakes. Will not be a next time for us. On way out asked cashier how much buffet is. She replied, "$15". I replied is there tax for we were charged $8 and 50% of $15 is $7.50. She then replied, "$15.99". What kind of rounding is that? read more

S wanted to time how long it would take him to get to Cache Creek for a concert he was playing at the following weekend. So off we went. It certainly is in the middle of nowhere. However, this doesn't seem to deter people from visiting this casino, the parking lot was full of cars and tour buses. We were hungry after traversing the two lane road through towns that I never heard of before. We each signed up for free Cache Creek customer cards and they were loaded with $25 dinning credits. There are several choices and we decided on the buffet. Several different stations, each with a different theme, ring the large room and that looked promising. The food was good enough that we did not go hungry. I am not a buffet fan and this would not make it into my top three. The salt and pepper shrimp were very good and S said the chicken was excellent. We both thought that the dessert station wasn't very interesting. Darn. A long drive on a two lane road, through towns that are hoping you will speed so they can ticket you and I did not even put a nickel into a slot machine. We ate and rushed off to our next stop. read more

I came here and tried the Lobster feast on a Friday night, and I was satisfied with my meal. Be prepared to wait in line for this meal as I got here around 8 pm, and didn't get seated until 9. After you pay, they give you a ticket for your lobster. The lobster was a good size and was hot. The buffet also has crab and other seafood options, along with your usual buffet style food like asian, Italian, and Mexican food options. I will probably come back for their lobster feast, but in a while. The service was good and there was plenty of parking. read more

Eh. No prime rib, and whatever that white fluffy stuff is on the Key Lime Pie tastes like flame retardant. read more

It's worth going here for dinner over lunch. More offerings and if you go early everything is being cooked fresh. Their dessert bar isn't that great and one of the biggest downsides of the buffet, but their food selection makes up for it for the most part. If they offer it, definitely try these dishes: chicken BBQ (not the ribs), steak, cheese and broccoli, and the fettuccine pasta. Service is hit and miss and some waiters are nicer than others, but I haven't had a really bad experience with any of them. Dinner is a little more expensive, but more enjoyable in my opinion. read more

Went again this weekend and it was as great as ever. Don't believe the haters, people just use Yelp to complain about their shitty lives. The Harvest Buffet is the bomb for buffets. Great service, except for a female Latina meat cutter working on Sunday around 9:45 a.m. Oct. 27, 2019. She seemed to have a bug up her ass. Management, give that woman some customer service training. Everyone else though was great and the food was great too which is why I gave it 5 stars yet again. read more

Friday through Tuesday lunch buffet price increased to $11.99 per person with CC card since last Friday (was $9.99 for 3 years) but that didn't stop people from visiting the resturant. Long ago I also came to the $19.99 with CC card Saturday night shrimp and steak buffet, also plentiful and fresh. With the recent price increase I'm assuming there is also an extra $2 bump for Saturdays and Fridays. I haven't gotten sick eating here and the resturant is ADA compliant. There is something for everyone here. Salad bar is small but always fresh lettuce and clean. Fruit is crispy and sweet. The Asian station is good, the Mexican station has authentic flavors in the enchiladas and spanish rice. There is a cravery station as well as an Italian station with pastas and a variety of sauces. The servers are nice and always super busy getting people their drinks. Ask for the coffee it is strong and smooth. The dessert bar is also a highlight of the buffet. You can get ice cream or assorted breakfast breads, to homemade bread pudding and beignets. read more

Oh man oh man oh man... Where do I start with this review? I came here during the Sunday buffet and most of the food here was overly salty to say the least. The only redeeming qualities of this buffet we're the breakfast food (not hard to mess up breakfast), the Alfredo, and the dessert section. The Chinese section was a huge disappointment where you would expect for Cache Creek to cater to their clientele. The congee was practically salt concentrate, the General Chicken was weirdly super sweet, and the orange beef was more of a combined mess of both Peking Pork and Orange Chicken flavors. I hope someone from management reads this... read more

Due to covid you now order the meal you want at the registers at the front of the restaurant. I am severely allergic to tree nuts. I asked the lady when ordering my meal if there were any nuts in it. I was told no in the type of voice that made me feel stupid for asking. I sit down with my group and my meal was brought out shortly after. My chicken was cold, the beans were cold, the mashed potatoes were good. As I was eating my cold green beans I noticed a bunch of shaved almonds underneath the few I just ate. Immediately I begin to panic. I find the manager and told her. She was very nice and very worried for me and my safety and offered to call medical. I told her no that it should be alright since I didn't directly eat one. I wasn't offered a comp or anything but was brought out another meal which was warm this time round and extra mashed potatoes to substitute out the green beans. Overall though it was a terrible experience and I will not be back. Take food allergies seriously! All employees need to be better trained. I was lucky but the next person might not be. read more

Good thing about this place, if you register for the first time with the casino, you get $25 dinning credits= free food! I went during new years day during the "steak and shrimp" special. So price was $19.99. I honestly wasn't expecting much cause I needed to waste time and spend time away from the slots. They have a surprising amount of shrimp dishes. The shelled shrimp tastes nasty so avoid, but the shrimp poppers and shrimp cooked in spaghetti is really good. The steak wasn't too bad either. For a buffet, the food was decent. There was also deep fried fly shrimp which was good with tartar sauce. They have a lot of dessert cakes. Key lime and lemon margarine tasted funny. Avoid! I suggest the raspberry apple swirl cake!! Service was great! I think i m giving it a good review cause it was for free but if I had to pay, I would lower it to a 2.5 star cause i could live without the shrimp and the steak and if I had to pay 20 bucks out of pocket for this buffet, I would pass cause there was nothing special about it. They do have a large selection but a buffet is a buffet, where there is lukewarm food to fill your plate and at the end, there is a sense of remorse of why you ate so much crap. read more

We got to eat here with the free $25 dining credits for first time casino club card members. The food isn't bad but the presentation was horrible and not appetizing. I walked by the raw shrimp and it looked very suspicious. They had good lemon pies, similar to those at Marie's Calendars. Also they have good steak and popcorn shrimp. Now for the bad... Everything is SOOO unhealthy. The orange juice is so concentrated. My brother and I literally empted out 3/4's of it and just watered it down. The chocolate desserts were literally diabetes in a cup. It looked like chocolate soup....-_- Even worse, they get ansy if you stay too long. We were there for more than a hour, and whenever they picked up our dishes, they would say "Thank you for coming. Have a nice day". They even called out a manger, making a lame excuse that we needed parental supervision. I was like "WTF! I'm 24!" She even made my brother and I pull out our IDs...lame.. read more

A lot of food choices, but the food can be a little displeasing in taste. Of course they arent really up to great standards, but for $12 all you can eat, it's so worth it.

I've been to this buffet about 3/5 times before. Each time they had something different on the menu.... But my issue is with the flavor of the food. I honestly feel like the people they have cooking all the food for the buffet to be served don't really care about cooking. Like they don't have a passion to make the food taste great. A person who wants to be a chef has that passion to want the food to taste and have flavor. But this place completely lacks that. I would not recommend this buffet to anyone....terrible food... and waaaay over priced for the flavor experience you get out of all the food they serve. $40 bucks a head is NOT WORTH IT.... read more

It was the last day of our camping at Cache Canyon River and on our way back home was Cache Creek Casino. It was around 10am and we all decided to have brunch. Harvest Buffet opened at 10am and they had a wonderful line of breakfast and lunch dishes served to our delight. I totally forgot to take a photo of their omelet, but it was one of their marvelous entrées. All the omelet ingredients were laid out in front of you, then you would pick and choose which ingredients you want in and they would cook everything in front of you. You would just drool while they do it. *laughs* Their service was great. We were 13 all in all and we got seated at a wonderful corner. The servers always checked on us, refilled all our drinks timely and were very friendly. Nothing beats real food compared to camping food, served fit for a king/queen! Their lunch dishes were good, not the best, but it would do. I enjoyed their Salt and Pepper Shrimp as well as their Broccoli Beef. I was too full to even indulge in to their dessert section. They had several magnificent looking dessert plates. It was too tempting, but I just didn't have space for it. It was a wonderful brunch buffet. Now I know where to go after camping. *giggles* read more
